Creative work spaces

Ludmila — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:00:40 +0000

While I admit that creative doesn’t always mean uncluttered and neat (and I’m now in a very minimalistic mood) I do love to see inspiring, creative offices where ideas flow from each inch of the space: from layered rugs to mixed textures to enormous moodboards and shelves with books – I mean one has to be brave to do all this at once, don’t you think? And since in this phase of my life I’m not much of an experimenter decor wise I’m totally fine with staring at this from aside.

Did you guess what’s the key piece in the last two images? Of course the inspiration boards! About this in another post :)

Twinkle, twinkle

Ludmila — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:00:17 +0000

There’s no more relevant symbol of Christmas than the twinkle lights, right? They’re absolutely magical and breathtaking! On this Christmas-y note I wish you a wonderful Monday and a great week!

Twinkle, twinkle little star…

Stay warm and happy weekend

Ludmila — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:10:06 +0000

Hello, sweets! Are you having a relaxing Saturday? I sure am, cozied up in bed with my laptop, warm under a cover and inspired big time! Inspired to be better, happier, more understanding and inspired to smile more (new year’s resolutions perhaps?). What are you inspired to do today?

I have to say it wouldn’t be the same without the ‘warm under a cover’ part, I’m obsessed with staying warm and hate it when I’m cold. Seriously, there’s no worse feeling for me. That’s why I’m dreaming today about fireplaces of all kind – they totally change a room making it more inviting and home-y.

Happy Saturday to all! Enjoy the weekend!

Simple living

Ludmila — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:59:56 +0000

Hello, sweet creamylifers! So sorry I haven’t posted anything the last couple days, it was one of those weeks, you know? So today, as a treat and a way to make it up to you, I have a post that shows so many things I adore: white done right, simple living, Scandinavian chicness, minimalist style with a wow-factor and more. Without any further ado, here’s a home I’m ready to move in right away!

I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday! xoxo

Tartan as we know it

Ludmila — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:00:34 +0000

Is there anything cozier than tartan? The pattern is the king of the fall/winter seasons and who’d think it will look just so perfect in the ensemble of earthy colors, fallen leaves, fire and hot cocoa? Oh and maybe a book too, because cuddling in front of a fire without a book is just not the same, right? To help you get cozy and cuddle up (even if it’s Tuesday and there’s no time for that), here’s a pretty collection of images:

And because I couldn’t ignore tartan in fashion industry, here’s an image which amazed me!

Isn’t it amazing? Are you decorating with tartan? If so, where did you inject its coziness?

The power of gray

Ludmila — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 03:00:20 +0000

With the dreary days coming upon us I find myself caught in the timeless magic of the color gray which (especially these days) feels so adjustable and flexible. For an instance gray can be neutral and we can combine it with absolutely every single color (which will look like popping out, exactly because of gray), on another hand gray can be considered dramatic if used as a main (or the only one) color in a room and lastly, if combined with gold accents gray can look so elegant and timeless. If you think I’m wrong, please leave your thoughts in the comments :)

Happy Monday to all! xo

Serene whites

Ludmila — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 02:35:35 +0000

Ever wondered why is white both calming, warm-ish and sterile at the same time? I know it’s an unimaginable combo, but I often feel exactly this when I see how this color is used in interiors. Sometimes it can be very soothing while other times so minimalist and look-but-don’t-touch. The home tour below features a white (beige-y) which is very warm, serene and simple perfection for a home. Take a look:

Have a wonderful week! xo

happy birthday RUE

Ludmila — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:00:17 +0000

Rue magazine turned one, congratulations to the amazing team! The magazine has been a treasure and inspiration from the very first issue and I believe I’ll keep being astonished by it till the end (hope there won’t be one). Here are a few favourite images from their anniversary issue (Crystal’s home is simply gorgeous). Congrats, girls!

I simply ADORE the last image, don’t you?

Think Big

Ludmila — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:00:45 +0000

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!

Rich emerald

Ludmila — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 03:00:22 +0000

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?
