Fashion to interior: Crocheted bliss

The similarity was too obvious to be ignored, so I had to share my finds. Granny chic crocheted blanket found its place in fashion industry in the form of a cozy dress, warm and so much fun! I’ve seen the blanket itself long time ago, so a this-and-that moment hit me the second I saw the dress, looks like the crocheted bliss works in fashion just as good as it does in decorating :)

Dessert table: Tiffany blue+zebra

I know I normally don’t post party ideas and entertaining tips, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t inspiring me or has me swooning. So now, to show how wide my interests are I decided to share with you a dessert table created around a stunning colour – Tiffany blue (my color inspiration post you can see here) and a fabulous, bold pattern – zebra! Can you imagine the combo? Gentle and daring, airy and sophisticated – the uncombinable turned out to be a gorgeous colour theme, perfect for a baby shower, bridal shower or just a birthday party!

Symmetry

There is something so neat about symmetry in interior design. Clean look, balance when it comes to details – this just screams modern and look-but-don’t-touch kind of feeling. While I do love a bit crazier and artsy style for a room, sometimes symmetry feels just right, it’s like helping to keep everything under control in life, you know what I mean? Hoping you did understand me, here’s a picture that just stood out to me exactly because of the proportionality in art, colors, details.

Another thing I love about this living room is the rug, I find the pattern one of the prettiest and those colours complement it just perfectly!

What about you? Are you a fan of symmetry or not really?

Weekend inspiration

Happy weekend, darlings! This weekend I’m going to be inspired by bold hues and this picture is pretty much what I’m talking about: hot fuchsia, olive (and a hit of apple) green and red – looks to me like a very lovely combo, no?

Happy 4th of July to all my friends who celebrate (still remembering last year’s color inspiration post dedicated to this holiday – oldie, but goodie!). See you next week! xo
