I bet you already know about Rue Magazine, you were anxiously expecting its launch, counting down the days until today, right? Well, you were not alone in this and just as you, I couldn’t wait for Rue to go live! And it did! Yep, Rue Magazine is out in all its glory! And let me tell you that is truly GRAND! With nearly 300 pages, it has plenty of inspiration for us to indulge ourselves, gorgeous home tours and utterly amazing interior designers, stylists, bloggers and overall wonderful people! The Rue team, Crystal, Anne, Alaina and Caitlin (along some seriously amazing contributors!), did a fantastic job and I’m so proud for being a part of this community and to know them through blog land! I won’t say anything else, here are some of my picks and PLEASE check the magazine for more! Believe me you won’t be sorry!
Color+Inspiration: Coral+Green
And we met again, my friends! After yesterday’s news I understood even better how important is to have you all and how much your support means to me, I can only be eternally grateful for all the tweets on Twitter and comments and thank God I’m blessed to have so amazing readers! On another note, today on creamylife’s Facebook page I posted this picture which inspired me to write my today’s post, asking if you can guess what is it about. And I got suggestions, though nobody guessed that I was smitten by the lovely, live color combo on the package which afterward guided me to put together this color+inspiration post. So now I’m absolutely in love with coral and green in all their shades (from pinky to peachy coral to mint, apple to pale green – no limits!) and if the below pictures feel too chaotically chosen, think better about the abundance of color ideas you can get!
DO NOT STEAL!
Hi friends! Something really ‘interesting’ happened to me today (if you’re following me on Twitter you already know): while searching for creamylife on Google Blogs (which is showing me blogs where creamylife, links and title, was mentioned) I came across one site (won’t bother naming it so I don’t provide traffic to them) which is STEALING my posts! Not all of them, apparently they’re selecting the ones they like more and when this is done, they entirely copy/paste them, including pictures (without credit of course!). Everything is the same, they don’t even mind having the word ‘creamylife’ there and probably my name somewhere too. However I wanted to let you all know (those who are planning to ‘borrow’ this way, without linking back and giving credits) that in the right sidebar of this blog you can find what do I think about copyright and what you are ALLOWED to do with what you see on creamylife! Please read that before being so creative and updating regularly your site with MY posts. P.S. If you want to know what did I do about the above mentioned site – I reported it to Google and hopefully this will stop!
Thank you and I’m wishing you a wonderful day or evening!
Supermarket Concept Store in Belgrade
So you remember the last Serbian artist featured on creamylife, don’t you? Sure you do! My utterly talented friend Marija, who’s creating funky furniture that can be found in Supermarket concept store here in Belgrade. Well, I wanted to show you some pictures of this store as I had the chance to go there this past Saturday and let me tell you the store is nothing but a modern, extravagant, eclectic and not-your-average store I’ve ever seen! And it’s not just a store, you’ll find there restaurant, SPA and beauty salons, flower shop, clothing shops and just everything you’d need! Seriously, I kid you not, that place is awesome! I managed to snap some shots, before a lady told me I’m not allowed to take pictures (but why can’t I? I’ll never understand this!):
P.S. You can see Marija’s creations in these pictures. In person they’re even more gorgeous!
Home Tour: Ceramicist Anne Black
Well hello again! I’m very excited to feature this home tour as it’s a huge delight to see my dream home in person, sort of (even though somebody else lives there). And not just somebody, but the amazing ceramicist Anne Black! She is a Danish designer creating porcelain items that are classical with a modern twist, it comes in lovely colors and shapes and seeing her home didn’t come as a surprise to me – a person with such an aesthetics and a fine sense of style can’t do otherwise with decorating her own nest. How is Anne’s home? So glad you asked! It’s crispy clean, modern, stylish and the best of it is that you can see splashes of hot colors here and there, such as red Eames Eiffel chair, black, mismatched dining chairs (and don’t think that black isn’t a splash of color in that home, I assure you it is!) and more. Here are some pictures, to see the entire home tour go here.
Serbian Made: Lifestyle furniture by Marija Djordjevic
Welcome to a new week, friends! Hope your weekend was relaxing and now you’re ready to face a Monday, Serbian Monday here on creamylife. As it became a tradition, with another Monday we get to meet another Serbian creative and talented mind and this time is about somebody very special, my dear friend Marija! Marija Djordjevic is an interior designer and furniture creator, who studied and lived in Canada and now she is in Belgrade, trying to manage the multitude of design projects she has and her love for creating furniture (her crazy busy schedule makes it quite complicated, but she’s doing great, if I say so myself). I need to mention that the furniture created by Marija can be found at Supermarket Concept store (dreamy place! I’ll write another post about it soon), so if you’re local, go and take a look! Also you can visit her Facebook page for updates.
Stylist Lili Diallo (& happy weekend!)
Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop by before signing off until Monday, to introduce you to an amazing stylist, Lili Diallo, whose portfolio is just a delight for me (hopefully for you too!). She’s a New York-based stylist with a great eye for beautiful spaces, colors and styling. And with her stunning work I leave you for the weekend, wishing you a fabulous time, hoping you can enjoy some pre-fall sun (and soak it at your best!). This weekend marks the 1st wedding anniversary for me and the husband and I cannot believe the time flew by so fast! Feels like it happened yesterday! Anyway, have a joyful weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!
Elinno Design
Have I mentioned how much I love social media that introduced me to so many bloggers, brands and wonderful artists? Well, Elinno Design was no exception! Dagny suggested to me their Facebook page and the next instant I saw the pictures I fell in love with their products! Elinno Design is a Finnish company creating beautiful chinoiserie for a modern living. I was smitten by the lovely colors and adorable patterns they’re putting into their creations and I couldn’t help but share my excitement with you! Here are some stunning plates, cups and sets, so make sure you check their Facebook page and site for more loveliness!
Vintage inspired industrial stools
Lately I’ve been drawn to stools and specifically to industrial stools in a modern kitchen with a vintage twist. I’m loving the contrast between wood kitchen island+cabinets & metal stools, that’s a real statement for a space, don’t you think? And the best part about these stools is that they can be easily found at flea markets and would look stunning without any renovation/restoration. And yes, these stools can also be in different colors, but to be straight I like more their look as if they’d been used for long time, the aged feeling makes them even more charming! Oh and another thing – don’t they look amazing in a rustic inspired kitchen, with all that wood and shabby atmosphere? I think they do! Here are some examples of stools I’d absolutely love to bring into my kitchen!
Penelope’s room
Hello everyone! I had through my bookmarks a lovely blog post which I’m gonna share with you right now! It’s about the adorable room of Penelope, the sweet girl of Melissa – blogger behind ISLY (I Still Love You). The room is so full of sunshine, with all the popping yellow in there. It literally makes me happy just looking at it and I thought that Penelope’s room is definitely worth your attention! For the detailed description of the decorating process, check Melissa’s post about it, I’ll just share some pictures with you, hoping to bring little sunshine into your day!
