Home tour: Maria of Dreamy Whites

Happy Monday, my dear readers! I’m featuring today an amazing home of my fellow blogger  and a very talented person Maria of Dreamy Whites and let me tell you one thing: her home is STUNNING! And I actually mean it exactly like this! She is loving everything white and now she’s living in a beautiful home, decorated (by herself) in white color range, with some popping colors that make it look so, so special and cozy! She has one of few homes I really enjoyed and liked, and her home definitely goes to my must-see category!

The Zigzags

Happy (almost end of the) weekend, friends! Did something fabulous happen to you during these 2 short, but oh so lovely days? It happened to me, I realized I’m loving patterns! Lots of different patterns that make a space look so special and unique. And my love today goes to zigzag pattern as it’s the most friendly of all and suits perfectly absolutely everything in a room. Here are the examples (disguised in pictures, hee hee):

Color+Inspiration: Blue+Green

Isn’t amazing the harmony which is irradiated by blue+green? Let’s think, for example, of the combination blue sky – green grass, the couple that brings life and freshness to our days, especially post-winter ones :). The eternal feeling of new expectations and hopes always gets to our hearts once the green grass shows up and the sky gets rid of the winter clouds, becoming the purest image ever! I’m being too philosophic right now, so why don’t we just cherish the images  full of blue and green from this blog post ? Enjoy!

Hanging Vintage

Hello, my dears! You know that I love vintage, right? Today, I’m gonna blog about paintings > vintage paintings! I’m more than sure that if you like vintage, you just adore wall art with the fabulous touch of the 19th century! And it doesn’t even matter is it an abstract painting or there is somebody on it, the delight is all the same! If you want to know my preference, I certainly like more the vintage paintings which show a woman’s face, her beauty and style! These ones are gorgeous!

Hello Spring: Blossom

Oh yes I do love blossom, simply because of the meaning it has (for me) – nature is brought back to life! And the blossom is the right and perfect proof. These are 2 inseparable friends and they’re my favorites! So today I’m welcoming the spring with a deep hope to see ASAP trees in blossom – the best therapy for me!

Eames & Saarinen

These are two incredibly talented designers, American Charles Eames (1907–1978) and Finnish American Eero Saarinen (1910-1961), who designed the loved-by-everyone and the well-known Eames and tulip chairs. I simply adore both designs and I want them so, so badly! The tulip chair belongs to Eero Saarinen and it was designed in 1955 and 1956, while Eames, as working with his wife Ray, designed more than one chair and piece of furniture, in the period of 1939-1984 (the last item was produced after Charles Eames’s death). I bet you’ll love them! Just as much as I do! Here they are:

Owls as a lifestyle…

I’ve seen lots of owls recently in the blogosphere, so I guess I feel a trend in here :). I can’t understand how do I feel about owls, on one hand they’ve always been little scaring for me, their huge eyes and mysterious appearance only during nights were freaking me out in my childhood. But on the other hand, now when I see owls, they look kind of cute (I’m speaking about decorative owls, the real ones still freak me out). I tried so search for owls on the Internet and I was pleasantly surprised with what I’ve found. Take a look:

Color+Inspiration: Mustard

Who would ever think there is mustard color? To be sincere, I definitely didn’t! Really, I never knew until I was once brought face to face with it. I think it’s an interesting color, which will work good for interior details such as pillows, vases, maybe rugs…One thing is for sure: I would never paint the walls of a room in mustard, the room feels little dirty like this (sorry, mustard color lovers!). Here are my inspirational pictures:

There is never too much Light…

Daylight, sunlight or something related to light. I’m loving interiors with big windows and white-creamy-pearl colors. Alright, the list of my favorite  light colors it’s longer, so I just mentioned the short version. And the trick I’ve learned is that if you want an apartment that looks so much light, use the colors from the light white spectrum and you won’t fail! Plus, I know that if you have a small apartment, you will make it look way bigger only if you paint your walls in white :). Easy, isn’t it? Here are some images of a really light space, designed by Sara Gilbane, a very talented interior designer. Enjoy!
