I’ve been thinking lately of all the opportunities this modern world of interior design has given us and how bold one can be when it comes to decorating. I’ll be straight, I’m not one of those people – I like to mix old and new, modern and vintage, colorful and neutral. So it got me thinking, would I be able to shift to completely new beliefs design-wise? Case in point, I’ve always believed that tiles are the perfect choice for a bathroom – they’re functional and easy to keep clean, the variety of designs is impressive too, can’t ask for more. And what do I see lately? Wallpaper in the bathroom! Floor to ceiling, combined with wood panels – everyone is doing it now. I have to admit, it looks amazingly pretty, but how functional that is?

50 shades of gray
While browsing some inspirational images the other day, I couldn’t ignore the abundance of gray bedrooms out there. Different shades, styles and decors, but one thing in common – timeless gray walls and/or accessories. How I feel about this? Very 2010, but that’s only my opinion – I’m more into pastels/white at this moment in my life. Yes, I like gray bedrooms and probably at some point I would totally paint mine in a gray-ish color, for now let’s just indulge in some pictures and pin what we like – you know, just in case we need ideas in the future :).
Ombre wall DIY
Hi guys! I hope you had a lovely weekend, time to switch to work mode now :). Now on to my post, I know I said here that I’m so ready for everyone to get over the ombre trend, including myself, but what I’m going to show you in this post is totally controversial to that. I’m sure you’ll understand as it’s something stunning, that you can actually DIY – an ombre wall! No more ombre dressers, sheets, napkins – this time let’s go big with this, shall we? I think on walls I’m ready to see the trend some more time, what do you think?
Here‘s how you do it, courtesy of Erica of P.S. I made this.
To me this looks absolutely breathtaking! Will/would you give it try?
Happy weekend
And it’s here – the Friday we’ve been waiting since Monday is finally happening today! Am I the only one so crazy about this day or there are more like me out there? Anyway, it’s been a long week (just like they all are) and I’m thrilled the weekend is a mere few-hours-period away! What are you plans for the weekend? Something I’ve been meaning to ask you since forever – how do you cope with the insanely hot weather (40+ degrees C around here! (cca 105 F)), are you enjoying some pool time or a real seaside vacation?
I hope you’ll definitely enjoy your weekend, see you next week!
The pictures might not be in sync with the post, but I just loved how cute these flowers are and how can I resist such beauty? Here’s another one:
Happy weekend, loves! xo

By the sea
Today I’m dreaming about living by the sea, in a chic villa where modern meets timeless vibes of untouched. Even more if living by the sea means living in Greece, on one of their stunning islands that to me feel the biggest treasure the world has. Greek style has something special to it that leaves me in awe every time I see the houses there, color palettes, textures and patterns. Don’t you feel the same? While we’re at it, Santorini still remains my ultimate dream destination, but today I’m all about Tinos – another island with amazing villas!
Call me cupcake
I have to first of all warn you that if you’re hungry/craving something sweet, this post isn’t for you (well it is, but it can be potentially harmful to your state of mind). And secondly, no – I didn’t actually ask you to call me cupcake – this is the name of the food blog that will leave you drooling big time. Linda, the girl behind the blog, loves to bake and she’s good at it – the gorgeous cupcakes, cakes, macaroons she’s making are too pretty to be eaten! So people, deliciousness alert – you’ve been told :)
Cute tea tables
I came across these tables the other day and couldn’t help but sharing my find with you. The tables are so pretty and small yet so functional! They can hold a tea cup or a cookie stand and that’s all, but the design is so amazing that I think I would without second thoughts purchase some of that loveliness! Check them out:
Canopy beds
Hello, friends! It’s another Monday, another week (another weekend to look forward to) – I hope it started off good for each of you :). Today I’d like to speak about beds (because that’s where I’d like to be right now) and to be more precise about canopy beds. I must admit I have mixed feelings about them, I know I adore canopy beds wrapped in light curtains – they’re just so flirty and full of romance, but I’m not mad about the modern (or not) canopy beds with four posts only – to me it feels like there is something missing in their design. Nonetheless, I think either of the styles brings some freshness into a bedroom and some unique vibe, so I’d definitely get one for myself :).
