Let's Hang Up Those Dishes!

I'm soooooo loving this idea by Brazilian designer Paula Juchem and Non Sans Raison with their new line Coco.


These awesome decorative wall plates are held in place by magnets, making a huge statement in any space (and not using storage space!).

Every plate is unique. And they're within reach just when needed.

Gorgeous, huh?

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! ;)

DIY Bookshelf

Take a look at this amazing blue ladder turned into bookshelf:


How cool is that? I discovered this great idea this last weekend, while spending some time in Chapala. Easy, colorful, and oh so lovely. A very cool and fun DIY project to do over a weekend or even a sunny afternoon to suit your space needs.

And for all of those mommies out there... I know I'm a little too late for this, but I truly hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Remember, every day is our day!

Inspired by Blue and Green

Last night, while putting my daughter to sleep, we were talking about how she would like her room decor. Her room projects is a huge one on my list. She was telling me she wanted a blue and green room... finding these images yesterday was such a surprise!






So it definitely istn's your typical girl's room, but it is stunning! I love that it is sleek, fun, fresh... oh so lovely! The talented designers to blame for this gorgeous space are Lisa Martensen and Jan Jones. Amazing, huh?

What do you look for in a girl's room?

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.
