DVF Home for Bloomingdale's

Diane von Furstenberg is a great fashion designer, famous for her wrap drees, but, did you know she has a home line at Bloomingdale's?


It has dinnerware, beddings, and more accesories, with a fresh and modern twist to them. I really love them, especially the zebra duvet in dark brown. =)

Happy weekend, everybody! ;)

Brand Spotlight - Rococo Furniture

While surfing the web searching for information for one of my current projects, I bumped into Rococo, a Mexican firm making the most amazing and gorgeous furniture revamp. Most of their furniture is Louis XV or XVI style, but they are restored using their own line of fabrics (with Mexican designs) or painted by local artisans and visual artists. The result: great pieces of furniture with character and lots of style.

Wish I could take my hands on one of them and paint it myself.

Really love them.

H & M Home

I just discovered H & M has a "home" store, besides its famous clothing stores. This is a whole new thing for me, and another good reason to ask them to bring the store to Mexico, pretty please?

 

These are some of the cool accesories you can find on their homepage.

 

What are your favorites?

I've only been to H & M a few times, but I've never been to a Home H & M. Have you? Is it as amazing as it seems?

Ikea 2011

I just finished looking at the Ikea Catalog 2011.
Still drooling here.

As always, there are thousands of ideas... an huge affordable design...

I'm really looking forward the day Ikea opens in Mexico.

Will you, Ikea? Pretty please?

The Perfect Present for Father's Day

This is probably the best present I could get for my husband this Father's Day. It's a very cool wall barbecue by  Focus. Check it out!

I love how good it looks both opened and closed, and it's excellent for small places, such as ours. Great! ;)

No Internet Service, Huge Project

These last days have been awful, not having phone nor internet at home =( Worst is, the problem is not fixed, so we're hoping to have it solved soon... I hope so 'cause I really miss the blog world.

In the meantime, I've been keeping myself busy...

And looking for projects. :) I'm still not spilling it all, but I'll tell you this: it involves fabric, lots and lots of fabric! That's why I drove myself to one of my favorite stores in town,  Centro Mercantil Villanueva. If  you're looking for fabric, this is the place to go. Going there is like taking a child to the toystore...

Soooo many options...

... every piece of fabric blows my mind. Pure inspiration.

Look at the flower details in this one.

And it comes in this color too. Perfect for some curtains... or pillow covers.

How about this one? I would love to make myself a beach dress.

This is a very cool and girlish fabric, with real glitter on it. In fact, this is what I used in my easy headband project.

I would love a duvet cover in these ladies.

This last one really made me go crazy. The picture doesn't do justice. It's so soft and the black has a beautiful blue hue. I'm thinking a small pillow for my living room... hmmmm!

This is the fabric I went for:

And the awful truth: I CANNOT SEW. What am I doing buying myself 10 yards of it? This is what DIYing and remodelling addiction does to you, I tell you. I hope this not a crazy DIY project that goes to the garbage, for sure! At least I've got my Mom's help behind (and she does know how to sew).

Anyhoo... we'll see how it turns out.
Promise to keep you up to date.

;)

As Simple as ABC

Easy as one, two, three...

Happy Easter everybody!

I'm happy to let you know about ABC Home's great new products for Spring. I love these people, because they sell gorgeous furniture, a lot of which is very Earth-oriented and multi-cultural. Always a big plus.

So without further ado, here are some great pics I found, but there's plenty more, so be sure to visit them!

I love the colors and the originality! Do you have a favorite one? Do tell!
