I heart lace

I have a confession to make: I'm a total lace lover. The intricate patterns in lattice and lace blow me off! I want it everywhere!

Enough of words, I've got eye candy to share.
I found these beautiful pictures recently here, and I'm dying to try it on my own.
Seems like the perfect breakfast to me.



Have you ever tried making something like this?
I'm really wishing to get my hands on it soon. Perhaps tonight!

Cute Little Nothings

The morning sun...



Flowers lovingly given in the least expected day...

A cake, baked and decorated by 10-year-old hands (with daddy's help)...

Those cute little nothings...

...that end up being absolutely everything good in life.

The very same ones that make it all worthwhile.

Dreamy Bathtubs

As a girl, I had a built-in bathtub, and enjoyed delicious time there. Now that we got married and have a house of our own, there are no bathtubs around. We have been thinking of installing one in our bathroom because, though tiny, there's enough room for it --problem is, there's still no budget =) Who cares when we've got these gorgeous pics? The good thing about dreaming is, we don't even have to worry about spoiling the perfect wooden floors underneath ;)

Have you got your favorites yet? Mine are definitely the very two last ones. To die for.

Going Green

Even with the green trend, I find there is still the belief that green design is not trendy enough, luxurious enough, or livable enough. To me, an environmental lover, it's a matter of being congruent with Earth. That's why I love to find good examples of green living and green designing. =)

So, this is how I found about Alex Scott Porter Design, a NY based firm doing green arquitechture. Love it. They're work is truly remarkable.

That's where I saw this gorgeous house, which used an antique barn about to be demolished as an addition to the previous house, joined by the kitchen (the central, glass structure). I love the contrast of old and new, and the simple design which adds elegance to this lovely house.

My favorite rooms are the living room with pink pillows and the bedroom. Exquisite.

Do you fancy green design? Are you up for green living?

Amazing Castle in South Italy

This gorgeous place is home to a Danish couple. Apparently they found a small castle in South Italy, and they decided to stay there for good. Who wouldn't, I ask?

Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
