Yarn vases tutorial

Inspiration | 15. Jun, 2010 by Ludmila | 3 Comments

I have a tutorial for all of you, my dears! Spotted on Sweet Paul, oh my! that blog is so utter inspiring and full of creative ideas! The knitted vase I did awhile ago was also inspired by a post I saw on Sweet Paul. Alright, back to the tutorial! It’s super-easy and not requiring too much effort! However you may need TIME to complete the project, so if you decided to make your own yarn vases, make sure you have the evening free :).

Here’s you what you’ll get as a final result:

Aren’t these vases so chic? I love them! I’m planning to make one, when I’ll get a lot of free time :). Happy crafting!

Hi everyone! Do you remember Irina Graewe and her work, which I blogged about back in April? All the bold colors and retro looking interiors? Remembered? Good. Well I have a surprise for you: Irina’s home tour! She lives in Germany, Hamburg and her use of white color in her home is gorgeous. Also the details Irina put together – oh my…Seems like everything there has a meaning and a memory which I think is great for a home – this is what is making a house to be a home! Take a look at the pictures, if you’d like to see more of them or read everything about how Irina decorated her home, check here:

Create your mood board on Olioboard

Inspiration, Interior Design | 14. Jun, 2010 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

Wanted to share with you a new application I was introduced to last week. You know how I love inspiration boards, don’t you? I even have a folder with them on my desktop, as I think that’s such a creative activity and it’s not that easy as it may seem! Before, to make up an inspiration board, I was ransacking all the possible Internet sources to find the cushions I need, so their color and pattern match the curtains I already chose (just an example). Believe me, a lot of time is required to create an inspiring board! Last week I found out that my hard days of creating boards are done once the new application, Olioboard, was launched! It’s a new treasure for me, because the way Olioboard works is something I could only dream of. You create a board and to fill it you have over 10,000 items in the Olioboard item storage! Here are my mood boards, so far :)

Lovely meeting

The title says about my impressions after meeting the adorable Katarina from Like flowers and butterflies! As I said, it seemed we know each other for ages and we just couldn’t stop chatting! We spoke about all things blogging, how did she start creating the beautiful handmade things for children and for home, as well as her lovely children.

I look forward meeting Katarina again and I’m happy we did it today – it was so much fun! Thank you, Katarina! Here is a picture:

Small apartment in Sweden

Home Tours, Inspiration, Interior Design | 14. Jun, 2010 by Ludmila | 3 Comments

I came across the apartment I’ll share with you now yesterday and you can’t imagine how impatient I was feeling to show it to you!!! It’s small, just 61 sq m, but oh, so comfortable and neat! It’s located in Sweden and it perfectly suites my tastes: it’s a white space, with pops of colors here and there, it’s very organized and feels so home-y and the bedroom is actually an attic room! I adore it and I hope you’ll enjoy the tour as well!

Good morning everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty nice (besides the sore throat which is killing me the last couple days!). But back to my post, today is Monday and I’m here to bring to your attention one more Serbian example of creativity! Please enter Biljana from Drangulije blog. Biljana is doing what I’ve never seen before: candles! Of course, besides candles Biljana is creating beautiful jewelry and the most beautiful handmade lamps ever, but the handmade candles are what caught my eye as they seem to be pure magic – with all those mixed colors and patterns! I want to share them with all of you, I definitely think Biljana’s work is one of a kind!
