Ampersand sign – I bet you’ve seen it everywhere the past months (or years?). Well, I’m no exception, I fell in love with its look right away. However, I do have a favourite design and although I love them all, that particular ampersand is on the top of my faves. The huge variety of ampersands makes it difficult to decide on one piece that we would bring into our home: giant sized or tiny ones? Wooden or metal? Colourful or shabby chic? Oh, dilemmas. What do you like the most?

Danish home: Colour land
Can you believe that the weather these days is just awful? Raining, windy, dull and gray – hello, it’s May outside! Frankly, I refuse to believe that a May day can exist without warm sun and gentle breeze, that’s why I’m feeling like Spring is yet to come. And to hurry things up I’m treating myself and all of you with a gorgeous home tour located in Denmark were colours rock big time. Such hues as turquoise, bright red and hot pink prevail throughout the home and that, my friends, is the perfect pill for depressive days like we have at the moment :). I really hope you have more luck with the weather and you can actually feel it’s Spring. Send some sun my way, please!
A day in Novi Sad
Hello, my lovelies! I missed you so SO much, I’ve been visiting my parents the time I was away, so thank you for understanding the lack of posts (I was offline for the entire time, but not because of Internet connection – I decided to disconnect for awhile and get some rest). Now I’m back and cannot wait to get back to my little routine (who would’ve thought I’d like my routine, right?). Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics in my home country, but today the husband and I had a little trip and visited Novi Sad, a beautiful city in Serbia and I did take pictures that I’d like to share with you. The architecture I’ve seen today was beyond amazing and if you know what is Novi Sad all about, you know that this is a peaceful, old town, with tiny streets which feel untouched time-wise. All in all, a place you must visit if you happen to be in Serbia!
Lace motifs
If you tell me now you don’t like lace motifs I’ll start thinking something’s wrong with me. Because I adore lace patterns, the femininity and sensuality a piece of lace can provide it’s beyond any words while the gentle texture will make you embrace lovely curves and soothing color palettes. What can I say – I’m a sucker for lady-like detail like never before! Could this be because of my age (you know, I’m a bit over colorful, bold interiors and crave bits of feminine glamour). Either way, you can’t avoid being inspired by these motifs, so here are some pictures for a Thursday dose of pretty.
P.S. I’m travelling home today, so I’m not sure about how often I’ll be posting the next week. I’ll pop by every now and then though, to see how you’re all doing :)
Celebrating Spring
And Spring has finally sprung and this means what? Exactly, lots of outdoor chilling and this means what? Right, table decorating which is a pretty important part if I may say so. I definitely suggest using colors, as many as possible to bring joy and happiness into your day! With friends around the table, snacks and drinks (already sounds attractive, no?) – a bold colorful table cloth will complete the blissful look! And knowing that this year’s color is honeysuckle (proof here), consider using hot pink like there’s no tomorrow – you’ll get a memorable and up to date look!
Floor tiles that will make you happy
I’ve never been a tile kind of girl, to me they scream cold and not very inviting or home-y. However a few days ago I came across an article in a magazine that took my opinions about floor tiles to a whole new level and I actually fell in love with the variety of designs, colors, but also in love with the passion floor tiles can bring into a home. It can transform a place into a playful or dramatic one – the opportunities are endless and I firmly believe that floor tiles are yet to strike the world of interior design, just as wallpaper did. Here are some of the bold and colorful highlights:
Serbian Made: Iva Boskovic
It’s been awhile since the last Serbian Made post, but I have an amazing one today, a perfect mood setter for this week! Oh, happy Monday all! I know locals have already been introduced to Iva Boskovic and her utterly stylish t-shirts, but just in case you missed it, I have this post for you, after all you can never have too much inspiring talent, right? Ok, back to Iva – she’s young, creative and her shirts are definitely a must-have this season as they’re perfect for ANY occasion, from parties to casual walks to office style – I mean it’s always nice to have an outfit with a twist and Iva’s tees are the twist you need! I’m digging all the designs, take a look and covet with me :)

Have a lovely weekend!
Hello, my darlings! I know I’m a bad, bad blogger for the past few weeks, I had some things going on, so I hope you can forgive me. Next week I’m travelling home (yay!) and posts might be chaotic again, I might even take a blogging break for the time I’m there celebrating Easter with my family. Time will show :). Now I want to wish you all a very happy weekend, enjoy the days off, have plenty of R&R and remember that life is all about little things, don’t take anything for granted and see the sun there where nobody else sees it!
Thank you all for visiting and reading creamylife, you make my days! xo

Bunny Williams Interior Design
I’ve been a fan of Bunny Williams and her style for a long while and I absolutely love her soothing, somehow traditional style. Just as I said a few days ago, traditional interiors lately feel very refreshing, perhaps it’s because of my long-time obsession with vintage, eclectic, Scandinavian styles or the love for colors, but I’m more and more drawn to classic homes that carry valuable memories and soothing feelings. Earthy and neutral colors are the new black and Bunny Williams knows how do it just right! While I feel inspired by her entire portfolio, there is a particular home that has me mesmerized from the moment I saw it in Lonny. That house just feels the perfect home, a little escape to share blissful moments with loved ones.
Quote of the day
Hello and sorry I’ve been away today! I went back to work after my surgery and it took me some time to get back on track. I’m sure you know what I mean (it’s the same after vacations :D). On another note, not sure you knew, but I’m a huge quote nerd. I love them and very often quotes inspire me, motivate or relax me. I have a board on Pinterest full of quotes which make me happy. Today I thought the one from above is perfect: “Accept what you can’t change. Change what you can’t accept“. The second part is priceless! Hope you’re having a great week!
