I just came across a home that perfectly fits under the saying ‘think big’. With mostly big size wall art, that space became a livable gallery, eclectic and grand. And I got myself thinking that big pieces are the only thing you need in a home for a bigger impact and a more dramatic look. Whether it’s about paintings, mirrors or even rugs it all works the same. Think big, people!
Loving emerald, yet again! I can’t resist the temptation (nor I want to) to share with you some ’emerald’ finds of mine that I’m sure will inspire you. And by the way, I really think emerald is a stunning alternative to the traditional brown-golden-beige fall palette, along with teal (that I wrote about last week), but of course!
The two images below feel like the same room shot from different corners, no? The saturated emerald of the curtains are the perfect match for the armchair – to me this is one room! What do you think?
Hello to all my dearest creamylifers! How was your weekend? Is it fall where you are (and I mean for real)? Here we have pretty warm weather, sunny yet just perfect for wearing light sweaters and scarves, so what can I say – I’m totally loving it and wish it lasts for a very long while! Are you back to sweaters just yet or you can’t let go of summer? :)
No matter how your weather is, I hope you’re doing great, sweets! Here’s to a wonderful week! Happy Monday!
How gorgeous is this table setting (below). I’m loving the pretty mugs with numbers, they can be used in so many ways!
I’ve finally chosen a main color for this fall season! I never do that normally, but this year it just came onto me and I couldn’t help, but melt and accept the idea! You won’t be surprised to hear what is that color as I blogged a few times about it (like here, here and here) – teal/peacock blue! I’m fascinated with this rich and deep hue, it’s so sophisticated and glamorous! I love it both in interiors and fashion, so I guess my choice couldn’t be more perfect! I already bought a few scarves and pieces of jewellery and I won’t stop here – it’s been way too long since I had some popping colors in my life.
What is your color for this fall season? Are you sticking to the traditional brown or going with more daring shades?
I’ve been always in love with lavender, it’s such a pretty and feminine flower (the same applies to the color, right?). It’s simple enough to be used in a day to day arrangement yet it’s sophisticated and elegant (perhaps because of its simplicity?). As for the color, I’ve said it many times, it’s my mother’s favourite color so how could I not love it? Other than this, lavender is a shade you can go no wrong with if you want to get a romantic, French inspired space. What can I say, I’m a girly girl :)
Make it wonderful, sweets, because there’s a new week right around the corner (which I won’t be speaking more about), so make sure you take full advantage of the (perfect) weather, some you-time and a book, perhaps. Hugs to all!
It’s always fun to spice up your home with attractive little pieces that might be inherited treasures, thrift finds or pretty home decor investments. That’s why I thought you’d like to see a post about how people bring fauna into their homes. There might be peacocks, elephants, horses, frogs etc., one thing is clear to me – the idea is brilliant!
Perhaps I’m anticipating the cool days that fall (and winter afterwards) has to offer to us, but I found myself today craving cozy, warm homes. And just perfect felt (I swear, I really had my heart skipping a beat at the idea of) an image of a soft beige room, without any bold hues or details, just the grandeur of a soothing space where it’s all about earthy, warm colors. These shots from the latest Lonny speak for themselves:
I fell in love with the idea of making a photo wreath, such an easy DIY yet so heart-warming, a piece that will remind you of important people and events in your life, so I promise you’ll cherish it for a very long while. It’s impressive how often we’re reminded that life it’s all about small things.

Isn’t the wishbone chair by Hans Wegner so amazing? The shape, the impact on the room – it’s all so catchy. What can look like a simple chair might transform your space into an epic design piece. I’m totally digging a wishbone chair (or even a replica), I know my home wouldn’t mind such a treat :)
