Golden notebook DIY

Inspiration | 01. May, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

I consider myself a huge notebook nerd. I just love writing down what has to be done, where I have to go, when I have to finish that particular task and although there are billions of apps to help with that, I still go the old style way – I write down in my notebook. I was always choosing bright notebooks (only my last purchase is a black, glossy one – I guess I needed some drama back then), so these fun, golden notebooks spoke right to me. Plus they’re a DIY project meaning we can all do it!

31 Bits jewelry

Fashion, Inspiration | 30. Apr, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

Happy Monday to all! Today we’ll kick off the week with a slightly different approach meaning this day isn’t about chic interiors, but bits of fashionable jewelry – 31 Bits to be more precise. 31 Bits is a brand selling handmade jewelry that comes all the way from Uganda! The idea came up to Kallie Dovel in 2007, coming to a life in 2008 and blooming ever since. The team behind 31 Bits works on a regular basis with a group of women from Uganda who create necklaces, bracelets and more from recycled paper and it all looks fabulous! What impressed me a lot is that 31 Bits offers several educational programs to those women - English lessons, finance training, health education etc. – worth being admired, don’t you think?

Pretty kitchen display

Inspiration, Interior Design | 26. Apr, 2012 by Ludmila | 3 Comments

Are you a fan of open shelves in the kitchen or you’re more of a cabinet person? I have to admit a while back I was all about open shelving, but now I wouldn’t say ‘no’ to glossy, black-painted cabinets to add some drama to the area. So I’m asking you now – what would you choose?

Living through colors

Color+Inspiration, Inspiration | 25. Apr, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

With these shiny, warm days all I have on my mind are colors, colors, colors! It was never a secret I’m totally obsessed with them, but there’s something special happening to me when it’s spring outside – then yellow, blue, red or green gets so much more weight and it’s like life wouldn’t exist without them, you know what I mean? So when I need a dose of bright hues, I head over Design Seeds and of course you know this brilliant site full of inspiration. Here are my highlights for today.

Spring greens and blues

Color+Inspiration, Inspiration, Interior Design | 24. Apr, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

With the spring being here, I can’t help but be inspired by its freshness and brightness. Spring’s green color is my absolute favorite shade and the blue – well, it always feels airy and clean, so this combo is a perfect addition to anything especially after a dreary winter. That’s why I was so smitten by this table setting and the room itself – I could feel the smell of spring through the pictures!

Living in serenity

Home Tours, Inspiration, Interior Design | 23. Apr, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

Hello, lovelies! Just as I said, I’m back with a dose of apology for not posting such a long time – it was a break I needed. I hope you’re enjoying this gorgeous spring weather (have I mentioned spring is my favorite time of the year?). Anyway, I’m feeling rested right now, very peaceful inside and out, which is a blissful feeling (trying to keep it for as long as I can!), that’s why today’s post is a home tour to show off exactly the serenity I’m filled with.

Coral & mint kind of week

Color+Inspiration, Inspiration, Interior Design, Kid's Room | 19. Mar, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

Happy Monday, sweets! It’s a real spring here and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have so much sun and warm temperatures – I missed this SO much! And that’s why I’m utterly inspired by a color combination now - coral and mint! Truth is I always loved it, but the pastel shades of these two feel so feminine and modern now that I couldn’t resist but share my obsession with you. I found a pretty nursery decorated with mint and coral, take a look and tell me – what’s your favorite color combo this season?

I can’t get enough of coral and mint! And don’t even make me start on the fashion side of the two colors :)

The lucite trend

Inspiration, Interior Design | 14. Mar, 2012 by Ludmila | 2 Comments

Are you a lover of lucite furniture pieces or not? I have to admit there is something special about them, something that makes lucite very appealing and modern. Plus the transparency of lucite makes it work in every room, combined with any hues, styled in different ways and I guess there can’t be dilemmas about the color of the sofa in your living room or the color of your vanity in the bedroom when there’s a lucite item right next to it. Works for me!
