Hindsvik – the vintage treasure

You know I love vintage, don’t you? Alright, I didn’t post quite awhile about vintage and today I thought it’d be a great idea to do it as I came across an amazing Etsy shop full of vintage, Hindsvik. But now if to remember I think I saw it on sfgirlbybay some time ago. However, I’d like to introduce you to the shop, please take a look:

Color+Inspiration: Gold+Brown

Today I got another crazy idea about a color combo: gold & brown. I said crazy, because again, hard to find inspirational pictures. And believe me I *really* tried. I just like it a lot, it’s warm and cozy and reminds me of things I love: chocolate, luxury (love it maybe a bit) and romantic, comfortable bedroom. But why was so hard to find images? Was it because I just discovered a new color combo that is stunning or because gold & brown can’t go together?! For me this mix of colors it is stunning, I feel warmth whenever I think of it and since I trust my feelings a lot, I’ll dare to think that golden combined with brown isn’t *that* crazy! What do you think?

James Tse Photography

Hi, dears! Sorry for being away so much time, I’ve been a little busy today. And I’d like to make it up now by featuring the beautiful shoots taken by photographer James Tse. His love for taking pictures began in his high school years and he’s doing this ever since only that now he has his own studio with ‘clients workspace stations and digital services’. The list of his clients is really big and it’s very impressing because he’s a very young photographer. Nothing else left than just admire such persistent person who followed his big dream throughout the years and made it come true.

Scandinavian Love

Let’s talk about Scandinavian style, shall we? I love this style lately and today I finally sat and did the much-needed research about it as I didn’t know *that* much about this. They say ‘sharing is caring’, so I will share with you! Scandinavian style is referred more  to Sweden, Norway and Denmark and was created by Carl Larsson. The main features for Scandinavian style is that they have high ceilings, big very big windows which allow lots of sunlight in and the best what describes this style is the expression ‘natural & neutral’. Natural, light colored wood floors and furniture, neutral colors: all shades of white and beige, with pops of red (or another bright color) just to break the excess of light colors. I love sunlight, so the big windows are what I’m opting to have in my future home, also I love a crispy white interior (did I prove this to you yet?) – I guess that would be enough for moving to Scandinavia, wouldn’t it? Here’s some inspiration:

Etsy: Flores del sol

Hi there! Hope your day is going well, I want to share with you now some beauties! And again Etsy – this time a seller who is a floral designer, creating bouquets and arrangements using faux flowers! But  her designs are so beautiful that I’d be happy to sacrifice a fresh bouquet for a faux arrangement, seriously! Flores del sol (name of the Etsy shop) is owned by a full-time young mother and designer and lovelies, trust me, her creations are adorable, so modern and fresh which would make for a beautiful centerpiece that you can use over and over again! Here are a few of them:

A Lovely Stash

Wanted to share with you a picture I came across over at the Interior Styling group on Flickr created by Holly.  Beata of Rose Hip (blogged about her wonderful Etsy pillows here) is asking “how quickly does your stash grow?…”. The picture is lovely, so colorful eye-candy! I thought it’s a must-see, so here I am:

I have another question: did you ever see so many yarns?! I simply adore all these colors, don’t you?

Lucas Allen Photography

Lucas Allen is a young photographer, born in Melbourne, who now lives in New York. He started his career at the age of 21, shooting ever since people, interiors, fashion industry and still life. And as would Julia Child say, his photography is “the  butter to my bread and the breath to my life”. Some of you may be wondering why do I blog so much about photographers, stylists and decorators and I perfectly understand why you’re asking this. The thing is that  while ransacking through the beautiful portfolios of talented photographers, I learn the art of taking good quality pictures (you probably know that I love photography and would consider it as my hobby) , so it is a sort of lessons I take every time I prepare the pictures for an article to blog about. The same is happening with interior stylists and designers – this is a great way of learning about interior design, as well as getting inspired by the work of great artists. So, I would like you to know one thing: every single photographer, stylist, decorator or designer I write about on CreamyLife is a great source of inspiration to me and a good example to follow! So is Lucas Allen and here is his work:
