I’ve been planning to write a post about oversized mirrors for quite some time and it’s finally happening! I find myself flipping more and more through online ‘pages’ (read sites), pictures, staring at some gorgeousness to die for! I’m smitten by the impact an oversized mirror has on a room, they bring elegance and grandeur to a space! Not to mention that a mirror like that can easily be the focal point in a room, that’s why choose carefully – you don’t want to create misleading impressions about your style, right? I for one would choose an option from too: shabby chic, worn off and washed out OR a golden Victorian beauty to greet me every time I come home.
What would you choose? And would you actually bring an oversized mirror inside your home?

Before I had crush on chairs. Not that I stopped, but now I’m seeing things wider, bigger – that’s why I have a crush on a sofa, but not JUST a sofa, it’s a Chesterfield sofa, so elegant and glam all at once! And while I’ve never been a big fan of leather couches, I’ll totally take a velvet Chesterfield, which feels royally stunning! I’ve gathered a few inspirational images and while you scroll and scroll to see them, think about how do you feel when seeing this couch – you know that your opinion has always meant a lot to me!

Outside is pretty ugly today, still I need to get out and head to my work, but oh, how much I’d love to stay in, cozied up in one of the below bedrooms, with many pillows, blankets and my lap top, of course. Sigh, a girl can dream, no? TGIF though and soon I’ll be able to do just that, so I’m really looking forward to the weekend. How’s the weather where you are? Are you enjoying winter or waiting anxiously for spring (like I am)? Anyway, here are some pictures to keep us warm and comfy at least by looking at them (and I so want to stay in bed today!).

Running my street style photo blog for a few months now allowed me see some tendencies, color choices which are often used and some trends. And yes, we’re speaking about fashion when mentioning my site, but I figured that the same (or at least similar) principles apply to interior design, no? If to recall photography that caught my attention, made me gasp, left me uber inspired – yes, we’re speaking about pastel colors brought indoors, emanating soothing vibes, relaxing and tempting us. Here are some pictures for a color+inspiration post:

A little of a laid-down post today. I’m still obsessing over everything French, dreaming about rich textures, soothing colors, crystal chandeliers and bits of glamor, lots of it! A girl can dream, right? These beautiful interiors are feast for my eyes and I hope they will be for yours too. And tell me, aren’t the pastels colors and that delicious gray just breathtaking? Pretty gorgeous neutral shades.

Will you be shocked if I say that I love Nate Berkus? No, you won’t and I’m pretty sure you’ll think ‘oh well, welcome to the club’. And I’ll happily step into the huge group of Nate Berkus‘ admirers. His great eye for beautiful things is above everything I could ever imagine. He’s amazing, a true interior design maven. With a TV show where he’s the boss and multiple shelter magazine features, Nate Berkus is certainly the God of all things interior design and if you seek for inspiration, his portfolio is the perfect place to pop by! Convince yourself.

Hello, my dears! Welcome to another Monday. Will kick off this week with one more item which I’ve added to my wishlist: the “For like ever” poster from Village. Isn’t it absolutely fabulous? The poster is one of those things that don’t need introduction nor many words of admiration, right? Well, I’m all for it – I adore it and enough said! Just for the record, in a little more than one month is my birthday, but I accept presents now too, in case you want to make me a gift, in a form of a lovely poster :)

I’ve heard many opinions about shabby chic style, some say its era is over, some call it (excuse this expression) shabby sh*t, others like it only if it’s not in their own homes. I’m in none of these categories. I love this style and for me it will probably last forever. I like it because it’s dreamy and flirty (yet doesn’t feel girly at all!), it’s all about pretty roses, ruffles, white color (washed out, that is), lots of wood and an overall very cozy feeling! Oh yes, and stunning crystal chandeliers, which will blow your mind away! So describing it this way, what’s not to love here? Say whatever you want, on creamylife shabby chic gets a huge yay! :)

No surprise that recently Pantone named the color of the new year and this is Honeysuckle! This is a reddish-pink shade, something in between fuchsia and pink. I love everything pink, from soft pale to hot pink to fuchsia – I’ll take it all (if you have doubts, check this post and this, this, this, this and this :D). Here’s what honeysuckle looks like:
Long before Pantone called Honeysuckle the color of 2011, designers were feeling the trend without even knowing about the great importance this pink will have the forthcoming year. One of those designers is Grant K. Gibson. The teenage-girl bedroom he designed a few months back for Elle Decor showroom is in this gorgeous color (honeysuckle, that is). Little did he know he’ll be a trend setter. The wallcovering is to die for and all the pink details are sure to make you drool! And me too. Here is the famous and all the way stunning bedroom:
