blog update
Hope it's noticeable - PassionDecor is redesigned a bit! What do YOU think?
I LOVE IT!
Finally, I have designed a logo, blog header, button and banners as well as labels. YAAY!
It was time to change the color palette, too. And please, don't be surprised - I will be changing colors from time to time...maybe suited for time of the year or the palette will speak about my state of being...who knows :)
If you want to link to my blog...please DO :) I've created a button and banners you can use. One more thing, I would love you to let me know if linked to PassionDecor, so I could link back.
wish you a lovely day! ENJOY! xoxo

passion finds ... everything small
* Every child is an artist - says Picasso. I suggest to keep that artist on the surface, which means you will have A LOT of art supplies. Here's an idea how to organize it
* want to throw a party? what's a good party without proper hats? well, why don't you make them...it's quite easy
* hm... grey bedroom with pops of yellow would make me very lazy. as well as the one pictured above
* small but sweet apartment. Love the sectional and the kitchen. Oh, and the art above the bed :) want that!
* did you know that you can turn this kid's foam mats into piece of loveliness? all you need is artist hiding in you to wake up or find some printable on the net
* please, raise your hand if you have one room for several purposes! Jordan's living room has to have a sitting area, playing area, home office. sounds familiar...
* it's often said creativity hits it's peak when having limited possibilities...so let your creativity out and repurpose
* I sure need a pantry, it is quite challenging to store everything I need in the small kitchen. Without one, I feast my eyes on other people's pantries...this lady knocked me down with awesome pantry makeover as well as sincere and interesting post!

color palette ... warm hues in living room
Until the spring comes, we're all cuddling in our warm homes, on a comfy sofa...drinking tea and reading a book if you ask me...
That's why I found a nice warm and natural color palette which is also soothing and pleasant for warmer days, because of the gray sofa and neutral off-white wall color. Honey wood color is very beautiful and can easily work with lots of different shades.
In this photo particularly, there's no accent color besides color of the wood. Adding and changing accessories periodically will make the room always up-to-date

passion finds ... good ideas
*an angel at my table birdcage mirror
* Birdcages were very popular in the design blogosphere last spring, but are still a trend..especially with the new spring coming along. Mirror camouflaged in birdcage is my favorite{picture above}, but check out what Alicia put together as birdcage inspiration
* Do you know how to accessorize the coffee table? I find these examples very helpful
* My kitchen is small and without natural light...it's inspiring to know some people knew what to do with kitchen like that
* meet Saša Antić - stylist living in Sweden. Got to love his portfolio!
* Using jars as picture frames. Great idea!
I plan to make a series of posts with links to things I find interesting. It is hard and not so pretty to blog about EVERYTHING I find lovely and inspiring, so this is the solution

geninne's fab studio
Well, this is what I call a good art studio
Good idea for storing pens, brushes and other artistic goods are jars, cups or ceramic pots, all nicely arranged in a tray.
I LOVE calligraphy block on the wall. Words and letters SO inspire me!
Color of the wooden furniture is beautiful. So retro, yet modern. Goes well with so many different styles. And look at those inspiration boards!
