Fall al-fresco dining

Inspiration, Occasions and Holidays | 17. Nov, 2011 by | 2 Comments

With the cold days upon us the only thing I want to do is cuddle up under a blanket; going out is the last on that list (unless is not raining and the air is crispy). But lately I find myself daydreaming about dining al-fresco, surrounded by all the gorgeous fall colors and scents, by a fire with a dear group of people. Oh and some delicious food is involved in my daydreaming – the thought itself makes me hungry :).

By the way, this post is a great inspiration for a Thanksgiving table setting – what are you up to this year? Staying indoors or going al-fresco?

Leslie is the famous color columnist on decor8 whose posts we breathlessly await every month, Leslie is an amazing artist and photographer, Leslie is the creative person behind this visual delight – A Creative Mint (which is a gem of a blog, by the way!).

Decorate with Juju hats

Inspiration, Interior Design, Styles | 15. Nov, 2011 by | 4 Comments

Ever wanted to have a touch of extravaganza in your home? Perhaps a Mexican kilt to spice up your bedroom? Or an Arabian pillow or two, that will change your living room to core transforming it into a tale? Then a Juju hat is exactly what you need! I know this sounds very commercially, but believe me I’m just trying to suggest a way to freshen up your home without spending a fortune. A juju hat will make your living space look different, unique and not last, so much fun (if you have it in a bright, cheery color). Here are a few examples:

Orla Kiely – pattern crush

Inspiration, Interior Design | 14. Nov, 2011 by | 3 Comments

Who doesn’t love Orla Kiely and all those yummy patterns and colors? I sure do and have myself dreaming about those cushions and notebooks and even clothing (which is so vintage chic!). I highlighted a few favorite items, just in time for my Christmas wishlist. By the way, have you noticed how more and more Christmas-y posts are popping up? Well, that makes me think – isn’t that too early? I mean, there’s Thanksgiving ahead – do we really want to skip one month so we can be in December and celebrate winter holidays already? What do you think?

Mustard

Fashion, Inspiration, Interior Design | 03. Nov, 2011 by | 4 Comments

Mustard is having its comeback this season and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I blogged about this color last year and my obsession with it didn’t fade remaining one of the most fall-friendly color crushes. The richness and heaviness of mustard make it a gorgeous alternative to traditional fall colors, a perfect compromise between yellow and brown and a warm stylish hue on its own. Mustard for him, for her and their home – what’s not to love?

Minimalism in the bedroom

Inspiration, Interior Design | 01. Nov, 2011 by | 5 Comments

Are you a minimalist lover or not? Or better to ask are you a clutter lover or not, especially when we speak about bedrooms? I think I’m a clutter hater no matter the room, but I guess I’m very minimalistic when it comes to bedrooms. I like clean lines, soothing colors, few to no accessories – just the serenity of the space.

So what do you say – yay or nay?

Madrid loft – European chicness

Home Tours, Inspiration, Interior Design | 31. Oct, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Happy Monday! For today I have prepared a home tour which shows off European chicness at its best. We all know that European homes are different than American or any other ones due to the influence of the culture, history and people’s personalities. So what you know as traditional American will be so different here in Europe and that’s the charm and advantage of living here – I get to see the European gorgeousness with my own eyes and believe it, this is priceless!
