A Fun and Colourful Home in Sintra/Portugal.

I love when a home reflects its owners personality and when it’s not “decorated” to comply with trends or certain design rules. This home showcases a mix of bright colours, clashing patterns, and a love for textiles.  According to the lady of the house:

Home decorating is in the details. It’s more than having a place to eat and sleep – it’s about the little things. Rugs, curtains and cushions. It’s not about the sofa, but what you put on the sofa to make it comfortable and cosy. I am always looking for nice fabrics, ribbons – anything that has a story or a pattern that I like. Life is rich when your home is a treasure trove. AND. I Couldn’t. Agree. More.

such a cute way/idea to showcase your kids’ art and craftwork

Quite charming isn’t it?  Happy Tuesday everyone. XX

All You Need is Love…

Some Love Sugar that is. This amazing etsy shop is owned by Nicole and Jimmy Chung and  after seeing some of their work here last night, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to bed before perusing their shop.  I am thrilled I did!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Love Sugar would be a great shop to buy a beautiful print for a loved one.  I absolutely adore the French I LOVE YOU typography print (above) too. Happy weekend everyone! XX

Why hello there…

I snapped this pic with my phone about a week ago. I am amazed at how fast baby Ian seems to be growing. Now 3 months old, he is undoubtedly big for his age. In fact at one of his recent checkups, his doctor just looked at him and said, “You’re a well fed baby, so healthy.” I was happy to hear that and I have to make sure that I am eating healthy since I am his food source. And, He. Loves. His. Food/Milk.  I know I am behind on my blog reading, but will catch up with you once Ian is full. ha ha! Have a lovely Thursday everyone! XX

A Blue Ode to the NY Giants aka “ The Big Blue”

Good morning everyone! I know many of you are in a celebratory mood this morning because  the NY Giants aka  the “Big Blue” won yesterday. Though I am not an NFL fanatic, I couldn’t help being caught up in the hysteria. Yes hysteria, you should’ve seen the posts on facebook; people were going crazy! Anyway, this blue post is an ode to the “Big Blue” boys…











I apologize if you were a fan of the losing team, BUT, I hope you still enjoyed viewing the beauty within the colour blue.  Happy Monday everyone! XX

Trendy.

His name is Ouigi Theodore and I bet he doesn’t follow trends, he starts them.

This space is totally trending 2012 décor faves; the blues, purples with splashes of black. Ouigi might not be able to sit comfortably in that couch(which I adore), but I think he would appreciate the masculine essence of the space. This weekend, I hope to get lots of at least 6 hours of sleep each day, so wish me luck. Have a wonderful weekend my friends. XX

Interior & Still Life Photos by Yellows Photography

I think that work of Mikkel Mortensen from Danish Yellows studio is simply amazing - for sure one of the best interior & still life photographers I have seen. Above is only a very small part from his portfolio - but all the images are precious, I will for sure investigate all the brands presented there as the lighting and furniture pieces really looks great.

Bella Goldmans´s Superstylish Apartment

I was browsing for some inspiration I could use for my new flat (more info soon...) and found those beautiful pictures of Bella Goldman´s apartment in a perfect portfolio of stylist Myrica Bergqvist.

I really love the living room with a walls full of art, large bookshelves and white wash finished parquet flooring - Im really deciding to try this (any tips?)  This space has  a great positive feel in it, dominant white is making it airy and bright while small colored details providing happy, cheerful atmosphere.
