Dining extravaganza

Inspiration, Interior Design | 14. Jun, 2011 by Ludmila | 1 Comment

I’ve always thought how do many mismatched chairs look in one dining room and when I say mismatched I don’t mean just colour, I mean everything from shape to era & style and all the way to texture – did you ever think about it? Well, turns out they do look stunning, injecting a dose of chic extravaganza and not your average ordinary (matchy) dine place – they infuse character and personality into a space, making it different than all the others rooms in a home. I’m especially smitten by the look of a vintage-y dining space, with a washed off white dining table and with some chairs that just pop up (imagine this bliss?). Actually the below pictures are exactly what I envisioned now.

Coral & pattern

Color+Inspiration, Inspiration, Interior Design | 13. Jun, 2011 by Ludmila | 5 Comments

I love coral, I find it a very hot and absolutely gorgeous, summery colour! And while browsing for some refreshing pictures yesterday I came across one room I just couldn’t pass on. The juicy coral/orange shade throughout the living room has instantly taken me to a modern beach cottage, with the smell of the sea coming through the window and with a huge stack of magazines (I’m a nerd, I know). Oh, and the pattern seen in drapes, wallpaper, lamp shade, arm chair & ottoman upholstery is so delicious – it was a perfect fit! Happy Monday!

Glimpse into my weekend

Inspiration | 12. Jun, 2011 by Ludmila | 3 Comments

Hello, dears! This post is being written on Sunday, 8.40 pm. Yes, I can hardly believe the two days meant to refuel my feelings are nearly over. I’m so jealous of you, American folks – I know your Sunday started a few hours ago (trying to look at the bright side though, my Fridays are ending sooner than yours)! Yesterday the husband and I met some good friends and we all went to an awesome restaurant by a small lake. It was bliss, the view was absolutely relaxing and heavenly – I snapped a shot I want to share with you now. How was/is your weekend? I hope you’re having quality time with the family and friends! xo

Ready for a new week? I hope so :)

Color+Inspiration: Magenta

Color+Inspiration, Fashion, Inspiration, Interior Design | 03. Jun, 2011 by Ludmila | 3 Comments

Ok, this must be a color+inspiration week. Not sure what has gotten onto me, but today I’m blown away by another color – magenta! I know some people call it fuchsia, others even pink, but I’m all for calling it this sophisticated name (it’s also cool and stylish, right?). Here’s my color+inspiration post for this sunny and hot Friday! Enjoy!

Home tour: Graphic designer Cristina Re

Home Tours, Inspiration, Interior Design | 01. Jun, 2011 by Ludmila | Comments Off on Home tour: Graphic designer Cristina Re

Cristina Re is a Melbourne-based graphic designer (aka “stationery guru” just like Adore Home magazine said) living in a delightful, colourful home that she designed all by herself. Cristina’s place has a Spanish flair, with an European feeling to it, many patterns, but most of all the feeling of a home, a very inspiring one if I say so myself! When I saw her home, one word came to mind (one of the few words in Spanish I know) and that is caliente (hot)! A home with bits of passion? Sign me up for it!
