I saw this patterned dresser in a magazine and boy, I had to share it with you! Its oriental look was hard to be ignored and its timeless colour palette was too elegant to be passed away. All in all, not your average (boring, plain coloured – you name it) dresser. Such a sophisticated piece would a fabulous addition to a modern, fancy space bringing a fresh twist into the room.
It’s a fact that anthropologie‘s swoon-worthy catalogue is feast for the eyes, a perfectly stylized piece able to inspire the least creative person on this planet. I’ve been following their issues and thought put my little hands (or eyes) on each of them, so guess how excited I was to see that I somehow skipped their summer catalogue. Well, you know the story – gorgeous clothing, laid back atmosphere, warm hues and so on! Let the swooning begin (yes, you’re invited to swoon with me).
I’ve always thought how do many mismatched chairs look in one dining room and when I say mismatched I don’t mean just colour, I mean everything from shape to era & style and all the way to texture – did you ever think about it? Well, turns out they do look stunning, injecting a dose of chic extravaganza and not your average ordinary (matchy) dine place – they infuse character and personality into a space, making it different than all the others rooms in a home. I’m especially smitten by the look of a vintage-y dining space, with a washed off white dining table and with some chairs that just pop up (imagine this bliss?). Actually the below pictures are exactly what I envisioned now.
I love coral, I find it a very hot and absolutely gorgeous, summery colour! And while browsing for some refreshing pictures yesterday I came across one room I just couldn’t pass on. The juicy coral/orange shade throughout the living room has instantly taken me to a modern beach cottage, with the smell of the sea coming through the window and with a huge stack of magazines (I’m a nerd, I know). Oh, and the pattern seen in drapes, wallpaper, lamp shade, arm chair & ottoman upholstery is so delicious – it was a perfect fit! Happy Monday!
I’ve been a fan of Tobi Fairley since forever and I truly believe she’s a genius! Her design aesthetics is incredibly chic and modern, all the rooms Tobi created are to die for – Tobi rocks it big time. Also, I believe she’s the kindest and most adorable person ever, really! Imagine my feelings when I saw her home! Oh my, you guys – it’s amazingly gorgeous and inviting! Here, I’m sharing it with you! Bravo for Tobi!
Ok, this must be a color+inspiration week. Not sure what has gotten onto me, but today I’m blown away by another color – magenta! I know some people call it fuchsia, others even pink, but I’m all for calling it this sophisticated name (it’s also cool and stylish, right?). Here’s my color+inspiration post for this sunny and hot Friday! Enjoy!
Cristina Re is a Melbourne-based graphic designer (aka “stationery guru” just like Adore Home magazine said) living in a delightful, colourful home that she designed all by herself. Cristina’s place has a Spanish flair, with an European feeling to it, many patterns, but most of all the feeling of a home, a very inspiring one if I say so myself! When I saw her home, one word came to mind (one of the few words in Spanish I know) and that is caliente (hot)! A home with bits of passion? Sign me up for it!
Happy Monday! To start off the week on an inspiring note I have for you a real feast for the eyes – the magazine of my fellow blogger Dagny (congrats, lady!) – Base! Covering wallpapers and rugs, Base magazine is a gorgeous mix of Scandinavian and modern, so if you know me you understand how blown away I am by the content of Base. Their Spring/Summer issue is filled with colours, patterns and home tours to die for! Take a look:
What’s with this combo, I get to see plenty of it and it’s literally everywhere – in the kitchen, in the patio, in the living room and at parties! Well, I can totally understand the trend, bright and fresh aqua looks fabulous with hot, daring red – it’s like something you’d never put together yet which looks fantastic when combined. You know what I mean, right?
Have I ever mentioned how addicted I am to Pinterest? If not, this post will say it all. I’m browsing over there for hours and hours every day and still can’t get enough of all that inspiration, stunning pictures I’d never come across otherwise and all the inspiring pinners – it’s always nice to see what fellow bloggers and friends like in real life (again, things I’d never find out if it wouldn’t be for Pinterest). The best of it is that it doesn’t matter what style you think suits you better – you can pin everything and create a VERY inspiring artful mess. Yes, it’s that good. I’m happy to be on Pinterest from the very beginning, seriously, these days I can’t imagine my life without it. You must try it, if you didn’t (which is highly unlikely). I have pinboards for fashion, interiors, food and much more – it’s unbelievable how much I cherish my pinteresting place :)
