When I saw this home my heart skipped a bit, it was a feeling one has when seeing ‘the one’, whether person, home, couch or things like that. It’s light, cozy, modern yet vintage and it has lots and lots of adorable colors and patterns. It felt like the one for me, because I could easily see myself living there, cooking in a mint kitchen, seating on coral vintage dining chairs or just hanging out in a living room with an awesome rug! What’s your say: yay or nay for vintage homes?
Vibrance captured by Idha Lindhag
Idha Lindhag is a photographer working for the Swedish Elle Interior and Casa Vogue and she’s amazingly talented, able to capture and showcase through her work the depth of the setting. She has gorgeous black and white shots, but what caught my eye are the images with popping out, vibrant shades that are lively and inviting all at once. one more Swedish photographer to bookmark!
Raspberry & aqua nursery
You know I’m a sucker for bright colors, don’t you? I can’t help myself when I see a good color duo done right, especially when it’s a nursery we’re speaking about (is there anything cuter than a stylish kid’s room?). So perhaps you’ve seen this one already, but I’ll anyway take the chance and share it with you. Done is raspberry and aqua blue, with an accent chevron wall this baby room feels airy and just perfect for a happy girl (not so sure about how would a little guy react when seeing pinks and reds ha!).
Back to reality
Well, hello friends! As I told you on my Facebook page, the lack of posts these past weeks was because I took a break and went to vacation – to Italy to be more precise. We had an amazing 10-day trip visiting Trieste, Venice, Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano and of course enjoying Tuscany – the most picturesque region on Earth. It was awesome to just disconnect from the outside world and enjoy the little things Italy has to offer: gelato (supposedly the best in the world), various pizzas and pastas that are equally delicious etc., but also to get to know the huge, historical value of this country. It was tough to come back to reality, but good thing we have lots of pictures we can stare at now, when our vacation is over :).
Have you visited Italy? If so, where did you go and what would you highlight (Florence’s palaces are my absolute favorite)?

Do you dare?
Ok, I know the title is too dramatic, but who cares when this is exactly what I want to ask you – do you dare going bold color/pattern-wise when it comes to decorating? Do you dare painting your ceiling, staircase, front door the fun and not the traditional way? Although I keep posting about all these colorful interiors I’m not sure I would dare doing it in my home, you know what I mean? So that’s why I’m asking you – would you do it or you’re like me – a passive witness of how other people have the guts to be different (oh, that was so dramatic again!) :)?
Washi tape chic
Hi all! Welcome to a new week, I hope you stepped in with the right foot :). I have to confess something, I’m a total sucker for washi tape – you know, that adorable Japanese sticky tape that comes in a billion colors and patterns? Well, I find that tape genius as you can decorate with it in so many ways with so little effort/money needed! Seriously, I saw people using masking tape for creating wall art, inspiration boards and more, but decorating kitchen utensils – it was new to me. That’s why I wanted to share with you this idea, who knows – you might like it ;)
Isn’t this cute too? With a few $ you can add a fresh twist to your kitchen. Or bedroom. Or living room :). Let your creativity take over!

Weekend {in the shades of green}
Happy Friday, friends! We made it and there are just a few hours left until the weekend we’re all waiting for (finally some relaxation time, right?). So to honor this glorious day, I’m loving green – a glorious color that’s timeless, modern and beyond refreshing in an interior! I’m especially drawn to kelly green, but all the other shades are pretty cool too and they look great in any room – kitchen, living room, entryway (proof below):
Wind & Willow Home collection
I know I wrote a post on the dipped trend a couple of weeks back, but now let’s just say the focus isn’t on anything dipped, ok? Instead I want to introduce you to a lovely collection of wooden bowls, spoons, cups etc. All handmade, all adorable! I found on Etsy this shop that had too cute stuff to leave it aside. Plus it shows two of the current mega-trends: neon colors and dipped – in this case it’s a match made in heaven. I’m sure you’ll love it!
Color inspiration: Greece
Vacation season is approaching and some inspiration in its spirit sounds perfect, right? Greece is a dream destination for all mainly because of its gorgeous beaches and the islands that are worth your visit. Speaking for myself, not the last reason for visiting Greece is the architecture and the stunning colors that just scream sea, breezy air and total relaxation – white and blue.
Take me out
Today I wish I spent my days outdoors instead of being trapped in the office, surrounded by dear people who gathered around a table in my yard where the centerpiece is a huge vase filled with hydrangeas. I wish I served fresh lemonade and vanilla cupcakes, enjoying this blissful time till the sun goes down and then enjoying again a gorgeous sunset. I wish we all spent our days like that, don’t you?
