Margaret Donaldson is a Charleston based interior designer running her firm since 1988 and she has a very unique and warm style. I think if I’d need to make up a list of my favorite designers, Margaret would be a part of it! The rooms that result from Margaret’s talent are inviting and very attractive, with a play of colors, patterns and fabrics, the variety of styles used altogether are layered perfectly well and aren’t clumsy or overwhelming, instead it’s that eye-candy we all seek for our homes. One thing I noticed while looking through Margaret Donaldson‘s portfolio and this is the oriental rug used in most of the rooms, even bathroom! The effect this detail has on a room’s look is stunning and if you have an oriental rug – you have a gorgeous room!

If you’re in blogland, perhaps you already saw the pictures of the gorgeous shop owned by Anna Spiro, founder of Absolutely beautiful things, Black & Spiro Unveiled. Anna did an amazing job putting together those colors & details which make the shop a stunning & dreamy place! But one thing caught my attention: the tutu desk which Anna designed by herself for her office. Please take a look:
*image via Absolutely beautiful things
It’s dramatic, daring and although it’s black, it seems VERY passionate to me! Just look how fantastic it looks against the white walls & floor, the only things which are a little distracting are the lampshade, painting and the inspiration board, they’re softening that dramatic look and are making it little cheerier. As I said, Anna DIY-ed the tutu desk, who wants to give it a try? :)
On another note, I need your feedback. Aren’t these Everyday fabulous posts too overwhelming and too often? Maybe I should reduce them and post one picture every week? I’d really need to know this, so please let me know what do you think!

Hi everyone and happy Friday to you all! Today I want to speak about bathrooms and you know why? Because something tells me that a bathroom speaks the best about the personality of the owner of it. Being a very intimate space (maybe even more intimate than the bedroom), bathroom designs show us whether the person loves romantic & light bathrooms, with white walls and florals seen in the shower curtain, or the owner tends to have a modern, high-end bathroom, with stylish colors and accessories. Either way, I intensely think that if you show me your bathroom, I’ll be able to sketch your personality and name some features you have :). No, I don’t do clairvoyance, I guess here is more about analyzing, what do you think?

Here I am now with my second Everyday fabulous post. I came across the picture I’m gonna post today here and was absolutely astonished by it! Without further ado, here it is:
This picture is from Elle Decoration Italy and it shows the home of Italian designer Matteo Thun and his wife Susanne. This is the wall of their dining room all covered with tiles of different beautiful colors and patterns and isn’t it fantastic?! I can’t stop staring! The room however doesn’t look over-decorated because of the white ceiling which creates a pretty balance of eclectic and crispy. What do you think about this dining area? Isn’t it perfection?

All the luck in the world is an online shop, where you’ll find vintage, bohemian, handmade and recycled! Quite an impressive combination of words, huh? Jane Schouten has an eye for style which will make you stop breathing and want more and more with every creation of her you’ve seen. Recycling old pieces of furniture, kitchenware or so, Jane gives them another life, a life full of colors, patterns and as she says, she gives them history. Seeing all the items from All the luck in the world made me want to have all of them and oh well, have a place to decorate ONLY with the joyful furniture, vintage and so romantic pieces of decor, sipping tea from a floral teapot…Aw dreams dreams! Want to see some pictures, right? I’ve categorized them as seen on Jane’s site, so please take a look:

You know how big is my obsession with colors, don’t you? My color+inspiration category makes me happy whenever I take a look at it, so today I put together another post related to it. Only that today, not one color is involved, but more of them and let’s just call this color rainbow (yes, the seven colors of it can work great if used all together and will be as if they’re only one color)! Plus, we all seek joyful shades of the color spectrum to complete our summer-y feeling and what other than the rainbow will do this job the best?

Well hello again, lovelies! Perhaps you’re wondering what is with the title of this blog post? I’ll tell you, but first let me explain myself a bit :). Every day I come across breathtaking pictures of gorgeous interiors, whether created by well-known designers, by fellow bloggers or sweet readers. Very often those pictures make me be in awe and I can’t stop feeling happy to spot the amazing result of somebody’s work. Only that I wasn’t sharing my finds with anybody, so since I’m loving you all so much, from today, everyday I’ll post on creamylife one picture that made my day, one picture which took my breath away and made my heart dance. Let me know if you like the idea and of course, if you’d enjoy to see daily a favorite image of mine :).
Today, I’m smitten by this picture. The bright colors always make me happy. The somehow matching cushions and curtains are no coincidence, but a fantastic detail which makes this room a happy nook where you only miss your stack of magazines to say that “life is good!”. The crispy lamp & walls however make a contrast and are only making the room be more modern and chic. That yellow pouf is not only adorable, but also functional and will work just perfect as a coffee table. Altogether, this room is dreamy and is going to my inspirational files for my future home!
What do you think about it?

Continuing my adventure in exploring designer chairs, today another post dedicated to my chair crush and it’s about Barcelona chair! Inspired by this picture, Barcelona chair quickly became a friend of mine and oh well, it made to my wish list and I’m now thinking where this chair, and these and this will fit in my home? I once said I’m a chair addict and Anne of The city sage told me it’s totally OK, as I’m between lots of other bloggers-talented people who love them as well. Guess what, I don’t mind at all! Back to Barcelona chair – it was designed in 1929 for an International Exposition that took place in Barcelona, Spain. The designer of the chair is Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and I can only thank him for the amazing input to the world of beautiful, never-dying chairs.

Hi everyone! Recently I was introduced to a site which is a delight for all of us, design-addicts-loving-real-homes, it’s about Deco my place. Last week I spent couple days (!) browsing through all the pictures that users upload, usually pictures are of their homes. And I came across an extraordinary home, one of the most elegant and modern I’ve seen lately! Long story short, that home belongs to Yvonne, author of Simplyvonne blog, and her husband, they bought their home two years ago and have been renovating-redecorating ever since. But the result is so worth the input! I think I wasn’t breathing while looking at the pictures of Yvonne’s home. Mostly in brown and cream, the living and dining rooms are superb, the bedroom is a light space, the only bright colors seen in the sheets which are Yvonne’s weakness. That home is a perfect proof that life is all about little details and it’s a must-see, people!

These past days I’ve been dreaming about a spontaneous summer getaway, just to pack my luggage and leave on a jet plane :). Speaking of luggage! Where is the best place to find the perfect briefcase, suitcase, luggage set, as well as everything you need for home from decor to furniture? Of course CSN Stores! Having over 200 sites, can you try to imagine all the things you can find there? I hardly can as my mind feels overwhelmed by the idea of browsing all CSN stores! Here are some (very few!) things you can find over at CSN stores:
