Cool House Plus a Little Trivia

When I stumbled upon Jordan and Landon's, I knew I had to share it. I love the cool tones they used on their walls, the modern and yet relaxed decoration, and of course, the use of mirrors everywhere

Without further ado, here it is:



Hmmmm, there are soooo many ideas I'd like to steal for my house. And I want their office. At least I've got the sewing machine for starters. ;) 

And now, a little trivia for you people:

Which is the master bedroom?

The white one, or the red one?

Shopping

You won't believe what I bought this last Friday, as I stumbled upon a garage sale close to my daughter's school.

  Pretty fabric ribbons for a dollar all three of them.

The pink one is velvet, and it has little flower details.

I know they'll come handy soon. =)

 Oooh, and check out the cool opener, for 40 cents!

I loved it, especially since owls have come such a comeback everywhere.

However, my best buy (and this is no ad, lol) is this:

Have you figured it out?

It's an old Singer!

With its little drawers to put away buttons and stuff. 

And gorgeous vintage details.

40 bucks.

Best thing is it works!

We are so thrilled!!!!!!!

You must know my daughter LOVES sewing, and she was wanted a machine forever. We've bought her toy machines, but she's been so out of luck, none of them has worked. Well, now her luck has changed, since this is hers. She's really happy!

 And of course, she's already done her exercises. In fact, she has used it every single day. And it is tricky, for you have to move your feet back and forward in the pedal. I still can't make this move, but she has! 

As much as I'm also wishing to learn how to use it, I'm more interested in the possiblities. I'm thinking of painting the little desk white, you know, going for a French look.

Isn't she gorgeous?
At least she knows how to strike a pose for the camera.

Celebrate Pink!

October is the International Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we join the pink celebration of life by sharing with you beautiful pink spaces.

Enjoy!





From high doses to subtle hints, pink is definitely an option, even in so-called masculine spaces. Of course it's girly, but you can also get balance from other elements or colors. Pink's got a huge range of tones, so you can personalize it to your own taste beautifully. I personally like the subtle pink chimney with the owl on the mantle... I love the way it combines with gold, gray and whitle... sublime! 

 

Now back to awareness. Remember early detection in in our own hands. Take care, and take care of the women around you!

Cool, Tiny Kitchen

I LOVE happy places, and this is one of them: a tiny kitchen that can even acomodate two people for lunch. Pick a bright color, like this turquoise, if you'd like to spruce up your room. Everything looks so neat and in order, thanks to the white shelves. I'm especially fond of the spice garden by the window.

Living rooms - Coffee Table Options



A huge trend in home design is to use multiple tables or stools instead of the traditional, large coffee table. I find it quite interesting, since the result is visually atractive and light, plus it gives you the flexibility to move furniture around easily and according to your needs. I love it! Only wish I could find stools here.

By the way, I would like to thank you for your support regarding my paintings and my new webpage. You have no idea how much this means to me. Wish me luck in this new adventure I'm taking. =)
