Manhattan Rainbow

Rainbow, because this is exactly how many colors the apartment below has! The apartment has two-beds, it’s in Manhattan and it’s definitely gorgeous! I wouldn’t mind to have such a colorful room at least, I would probably spend all my day in there :). Well I’m really impressed to see it, it inspired me to paint all my tables and chairs and make my own rainbow!

Finally, my home office!

Yes, I’m so happy and excited at the same time! I didn’t have a home office so far, so I was always blogging in bed, dining table, my husband’s office and so on. And whenever I was asking when I’ll get my own office, I was hearing “eventually” :). But yesterday, finally the moment came! We bought everything we needed to DIY an office table, a chair and voila! I’m writing to you now, sitting in my cutest office :). That’s how everything happened:

More Turquoise

Erin from House of Turquoise is obsessed with this color! You can’t imagine how much of turquoise she has on her blog! But I enjoy this, because I’m an inactive turquoise fan. Inactive it means that I love it, I’m just less addicted to it :). Anyways, Erin’s blog is great, so bright and so…turquoise! Love it! Here is some turquoise inspiration for those of you who share the love for this color, as we do! 100% worth reading Erin’s blog!

P.S. Don’t forget that turquoise is the main color of 2010, you just must consider adding it to your life!

DIY: Kusudama Flower

Hi there! Hope you’re having a great week so far, 2 more days and it’s weekend! Today I’m here to tell you that I think I found out about one more talent that I have :). I like working with paper: cutting, gluing and so on. Today I tried once again myself in this and again I’m pretty satisfied! I made a Kusudama flower, based on Origami technology. I saw the tutorial on Cut out and keep and I knew I can make it! It’s pretty easy, not requiring so much time and it doesn’t require actually any expenses!

Here is what I got:

2 cute Kusudama flowers, with 5 and 6 petals, made of paper (for the 6 petals flower I used a recycled magazine and for the other one regular white paper).

I will do more, to reach a suitable number for a bouquet, but I also saw that Marianne from Noces de coton framed them, so I might do the same, it looks nice anyways!

Whiter than White

White has been always a color in trend, classical, never dying. And it will always be like this, at least in 2010 more and more designers choose white to be the main and maybe the only color of the room. I said room because it can be bedroom, dining room, restroom or bathroom – white everywhere! Take a look at the pictures below and leave your comments about white :).

Frames as Wall Décor

Do you have old frames, which you’re keeping in some dark storage room, without using them? Well, then this article is for you! First of all go get those frames out and give them a vintage style or simply clean them a little. Now…no, you don’t need to choose photos to put in that frame, just attach them to the wall and convert them into wall decorations! I get that maybe I’m not explaining good enough, the pictures below will do it for me! Take a look!

The Sweetest Thing

The sweetest thing I have ever seen! I’m more and more affected by my baby fever and the funniest is that I enjoy so much this! Today’s fever is ultra intense, because I found out that one of my relatives (kind of a relative ) is pregnant! Congratulations to her! I’m very excited to welcome a baby into our big family! After the big news, I went immediately to my favorite online store with baby clothing and accessories, Dimples and Dandelions, to get inspired and to get ready for meeting my in-law’s baby.

I don’t have any idea whether she’ll have a boy or a girl, but I’m fascinated with pink and baby girls’ clothing, so now I’ll post about girly stuff. In case she’ll have a boy, wait for an upcoming post! :)
