Clara’s nursery

Clara is the most adorable baby girl who has the coolest parents, John & Sherry of Young house love. They welcomed their baby two months ago and oh my, Clara is one precious little girl (if you check her pictures, you’ll know what I mean)! And yesterday I stumbled upon Clara’s nursery and was completely smitten by the chicness of that room. That space is definitely far from being an average baby girl’s nursery, with lots of pink or so, instead it’s a room I wouldn’t mind moving in myself! A very modern and calming color palette of green & blue, a chandelier to die for, sunburst mirror and baskets for a better organizing – doesn’t this sound amazing? I’m so enamored with Clara’s nursery, I just knew I must share with you!

P.S. To see more pictures and the list of items used for decorating Clara’s nursery, check here.

Book review: Paris style

Well hello again, my lovelies. As promised before, a book review is what I have prepared for you now. Just in case you’re wondering, it’s not a new book, but an old, utterly inspiring one, filled with Paris atmosphere and French style and as you could guess it’s Paris style by Angelika Taschen. I found myself flipping through its pages today and couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the beauty, sophistication and all the chicness I found in the book. Now don’t get me wrong, I had the book in my hands a while ago, but today was like a new wave of inspiration and emotions (I guess books are under ‘every time like the first time’ principle). So, if you’re in need of some French touches in your life or home then Paris style is the book you should stick to: romantic bedrooms, country kitchens and royal, all-golden living rooms – that is, my friends, a dream come true. And if before I said my dream home is a Scandinavian styled place, now I’m not so sure…

Urban Grace Interiors

I bet I won’t surprise anyone with this blog post. If you’re in blogland for some time, you were already introduced to the work of the designers behind Urban Grace Interiors. Erika McPherson Powell founded her interior design firm in 2005, welcoming, four years later, Allison Smith – working together on creating a better living for their clients. And as I always say, a talented designer is the one whose work fits perfectly the client’s needs, making a house to be a home and that’s  the feeling I had when checking Urban Grace Interiors’ portfolio – coziness, inviting atmosphere, warmth and a bit of a French country that reminds of the French castles. Classic style, with brown, beige & white domination – that’s all about Urban Grace Interiors. Check their entire portfolio here, as well as Erika’s inspiring blog, where you’ll find work in progress and happy clients :).

Susannah Conway Photography

Perhaps you remember when I was tweeting and posting everywhere that I’m the lucky winner of Covet Chicago giveaway, don’t you? I won five gorgeous prints kindly offered by four very generous sponsors: Susannah Conway, Victoria of sfgirlbybay, Ez of Creature Comforts and Cara of Hilljoy Photography (how lucky am I?). So I’ve been wanting to feature each and every single of these talented photographers and for the start, welcome Susannah Conway! I’ll be straight to you, I was introduced to Susannah’s work when I checked Brigitte‘s giveaway sponsors and oh, I was instantly enamored with her dreamy photography! With a vintage feeling, Susannah Conway’s photography is the piece of art that would look amazing in a home, giving it that special charm and catchy look. I’m very honored to have two of Susannah’s prints in my home (hopefully soon) and now I want to share with you some of the pictures from Susannah’s portfolio:

Glossy white

Hi everyone! How is your week so far? Yesterday was a sort of ‘interior design-free’ day on creamylife and I must say that I truly missed this, you know? I miss sharing with you beautiful interiors and speaking with you about styles, colors and well, interior design. So today I couldn’t wait to start the blogging day with a design trend – white glossy floors! I remember when I blogged about black glossy floors and although they’re still my crush, let’s face it – I’m not the person who lives on *that* edge and would hardly decide to go with black floors in my home (I certainly think they’re very chic and glamorous, so if you want to paint your floors in black – do it!). White floors are more practical as they will go together with plenty of different colors and styles, also they’ll make a room look lighter and larger which is important if we’re speaking about small spaces. And last, you all know my love for Scandinavian interiors and what describes better a Scandinavian style than a white glossy floor, with earthy colored furniture and decor?

Serbian Made: Fashion photographer Milena Rakočević

Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope your weekend  was just as great as mine and let me welcome you to a new week! First things first: on a Monday as you already know – the traditional Serbian Made, which means that another talented Serbian artist is brought to your attention. Today we’ll dive into the art of photography+fashion and the fashion photographer Milena Rakočević will be our help. I came across Milena’s work in the local fashion magazine Grazia and was left speechless the first second I saw the pictures: romantic, daring and beautiful – all at once! Of course, I went to check Milena’s site and guess what, I found there even more gorgeous, dramatic and simply amazing photography! Milena also worked for the fashion magazine ELLE (hello! the always fabulous ELLE!), her photography was used for commercial purposes by different names such as: Extreme intimo, Glam up, n fashion, U.H.S. Taubner and more.  I could speak over and over, but no more teasing, here are the beautiful pictures I’ve chosen:
