Industrial chicness {and happy weekend}

And we’ve made it. It’s Friday evening here where I am and I’m more than ready to call it a day (and week). How was your week? Were you snowed in? I was tweeting yesterday that as crazy as it may sound, I wish we were snowed in so I get to stay at home, under warm blankets, with tea, laptop and just be inspired by these cozy feelings. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be this way, so I hope at least you got to cuddle by the fire this week.

For those who didn’t know yet, House Doctor (that I adore, see proof here) launched their 2011 catalogue and it’s as delicious as only they can do it. I spotted some pictures which had an industrial chic vibe and well, I knew I must share it.

Emily Henderson – the design star

It’s Friday, people! This means that a happy dance is in order right now! TGIF! For a pretty day I have the portfolio of a star for all. And I’m totally serious when saying star, she’s a design star and she’s the winner of HGTV‘s show. Ladies and gents, it’s Emily Henderson I’m speaking about! I loved her aesthetics ever since I first saw one of her designs and now I’m finally sharing with all my love for Emily Henderson! I’m sure there’s no much need to explain why do I adore Emily or how did it happen – it just did and watch out, it will happen to you after you check some of the designs from her portfolio:

Set your table pretty

The most favorite thing in my life, at least at the moment, are nicely set tables. I simply adore pretty tabletops, which inspire you to no end. I’m seriously obsessed with table styling and am considering taking this obsession more seriously, after all, something that inspires you THIS much shouldn’t be ignored under any circumstance, right?

On the top of my list are tabletops decorated with neutral colors. They’re so calming and soothing, even more if they’re having a rustic vibe to them – it definitely adds some romance.

American in Paris

When I saw this editorial in the first issue of Matchbook Magazine (that I definitely recommend checking!) I literally gasped. We know that I love everything French and so it was a pure pleasure to look at the beautiful, romantic and so dreamy pictures! All in all, life in France calls for much chicness, style and details nailed to perfection! If you’re not ready to embrace all this – forget about Paris (yes, it’s that simple!). Here are some lovely, French inspired photography, for a leisurely (or not) Wednesday.

‘Neon bright’ home tour

I was flipping through the special edition of Adore magazine the other day and spotted a home tour which is definitely not for everyone! Decorated mostly with dark hues, the home does have pops of bright neon colors seen in coffee tables, decorative letters, wall art and more. And I remembered that I got to see some pictures of the home before yet never knew they belong to one space (and couldn’t even imagine this!). Here are a few pictures:
