Thursday idea

Lovely idea for this girl’s bedroom, using wallpapered crates as shelves and storage. The different colors and design of the wallpaper gives it this fresh and joyful look. I guess it can work in boys rooms too with more masculine wallpaper and colors.

Children’s rooms are always a source of great ideas, you can let your imagination run wild!!

Your opinion

Would you say these words to someone you meet the first time? I mean as an adult?

Because many people loose their openness and spontaneity with age. The more they grow up, the more reserved they become. The more cautious, and untrusting.

Someone once told me that life has a way of stealing your youth, not only physically, but moraly too. That life teaches us lessons, thus making us wary of people we meet for the first time. That as a child, we are open to everything, our mind works on its own, without reservations and control, therefore the lack of caution. That children won’t think that one day their friend is going to disappoint them. Adults do.

But these days we have blogs, twitter, facebook…Aren’t they a way of saying “hey, i like you” ? Is this virtual world a playground for adults, where they can make friendships without reservations?

What do you think? Your opinion dears, is very valued! So come on, let’s see where your thoughts can take us!

Wednesday mix

From a fabulous ceiling to a shabby chair, to accents around the house, from a terrace to even stamps, hot pink brings a smile to my face..It’s a happy and oh so feminine color! (notice the Moroccan slippers, one of each thank you!)

At an early age we all get so much exposed to these colors)almost all girly toys are in shades of pink), that they become synonymous with playfulness and pleasure, think Barbie car and box!

Have a lovely Wednesday dears, xo..

Exercise or storage?

 

I had to share this, it’s so true!! A few years ago , my brother told me that he got this amazing exercise machine, and that it will save time from going to the gym, you know, dressing, driving…Well later that same year, i traveled to visit him in his house, and there , in one of the rooms was this gigantic monster, taking up the whole place…I say monster, because the monster was dressed from head to toe!! Clothes hanging on it, bathrobe, magazines where a human was supposed to be seated, hats, scarves on each handle!! Exactly like the above sketch!!!

How many of you have purchased an exercise machine that ended up as storage , and how many of you are still on the right track?

Inspiration: velvet

My grandfather had a room in his house, a study actually, filled with rows and rows of books, decorated in red and black velvet sofas..I can still remember the feel of the fabric underneath my fingers…

Tufted or not, velvet is a rich fabric that can give your home a chic worn look, or a modern edge with striking colors. Luxurious to the touch, it comes in a myriad of different hues, and gives glamour to any room…

Spring at your fingertips!

One hell of a statement piece don’t you agree?! That’s definitely a conversation attraction! I wish i knew the maker of this ring, but i couldn’t find it (anyone?)..Would you wear such a big piece of jewelry?

Style monday

I hope you all had a great weekend! We have all seen the color block trend on the runways and in magazines, bright and strong colors for summer. For those who can’t bring themselves to actually wear those colors (like me!), you can add one accessory to your wardrobe, like a clutch…

Happy weekend!

Meeting new and old friends, work planning, family…A week rich in emotions, motivations and renewal. A good week if i say so myself!

A day spent at the flower market, in Byblos, a lovely old town by the sea. The weather was amazing, the flowers even more!! Wish i had more space for more flowers! This definitely looks like spring to me!

Hope you have a lovely weekend, some sun and fun! As for me, i got yesterday some paint and canvas, and i’m itching to start this week end.

something abstract..

or just plain easy?

And don’t forget, tomorrow is Earth Hour, do your part, tell your friends and neighbours, your co workers…

Each one of you has the opportunity to make a difference in saving our planet. Raise the awareness in your community, turn off your lights for one hour to take a stand against climate change.
