{weekend project} etching glass ** {uradi sam} peskirano staklo

It's time to reorganize my kitchen cupboards again. Everything is stored in jars I collected over time which allows me to keep cupboards neat. Organisation is not as good without proper labels and it's time to change mine. Perfect and long lasting solution is to apply etching cream to the glass, and the surface turns into a translucent white.
{Često sređujem i reorganizujem ormare i ormariće,jer volim uredno i pregledno složene stvari. U kuhinji SVE namirnice držim u teglama, bivšim ambalažama koje sam vremenom skupila. Jako mi se dopada dinamika njihovih različitih veličina i gabarita. Dobra organizacija nije potpuna bez odgovarajućih naljepnica koje su se vremenom pohabale od pranja...a da stalno iznova pravim naljepnice, ne dolazi u obzir. Kao da nemam pametnija posla. Zato je pravo rješenje sledeće - peskirano staklo, što se postiže nagrizajućim pastama iz hobi radnje. }

{focus on designers} Alexandra Angle

Los Angeles-based designer Alexandra Angle worked in event design and wrote an entertaining guide with her husband, Eliot, called Cocktail Parties with a Twist, before setting up her interior design practice. she creates spaces that are elegant and whimsical, bold with colour, happy and comfortable.
{Alexandra Angle je dizajnerka iz Los Anđelesa, a prije nego se posvetila dizajnu enterijera bavila se "event" dizajnom (prosto ne mogu naći odgovarajuću riječ na srpskom,pomagajte) i zajedno sa suprugom, napisala je knjigu, vodič za zabave - Kokteli sa cakom. Kao enterijerista, stvara ambijente koji su elegantni a hiroviti, skoro obavezno u jakim bojama, vesele ali i udobne.}

{stylish small} 35m2 of cozines ** 35 kvadrata udobnosti

 Designer Christen Maxwell managed to create comfy oasis in just 35m2 as she aimed to create a space that is warm yet modern and pretty but practical. Since she’s a renter and she's not allowed to paint or make any structural changes, the perfect atmosphere is made with functional furniture and interesting details like mirrors, artwork, pillows and lighting. It's all in the details. Her advice for a small space to feel larger is to keep the same color palette for every room. This way you’ll feel a continuation of cohesive space. Another tip is to hang mirrors, lots of mirrors!
I love her bedside table solution. As she couldn’t find what she liked, she flipped over a huge flower pot and used the saucer as the tray. It seems to me it'll be the new trend, don't you think?

{U jedva 35 kvadratnih metara, dizajnerka Christen Maxwell je uspjela da stvori oazu mira i udobnosti, imajući za cilj topao a uz to moderan, privlačan i praktičan ambijent. Iako podstanar, bez mogućnosti da pravi bilo kakve izmjene u stanu, postigla je željenu atmosferu funkcionalnim komadima namještaja i zanimljivim detaljima kao što su ogledala, slike, jastučići i lampe. U malom prostoru, detalji su zaslužni za pravi utisak. Ona savjetuje upotrebu iste palete boja za sve prostorije u malom stanu da bi on djelovao veće, jer tako ostavlja utisak ujednačenosti i cjeline. Pored toga, savjetuje da dosta ogledala nije na odmet.
Zanimljivo je da, u nemogućnosti da nađe natkasnu kakvu je željela, za tu svrhu je iskoristila veliku saksiju okrenutu naopako, a tanjir od saksije ima ulogu poslužavnika. Ovo mi se čini kao novi hit u dekoru enterijera, zar ne?}

charming white apartment filled with colour details ** šarmantan bijeli stan sa šarolikim detaljima

This beautiful and charming apartment situated in Sweden has only 55 square meters. All the rooms have just the essentials and the apartment has a well-planned structure. It has large windows letting in plenty of natural light so the apartment looks spacious and airy, despite its small dimensions. In order to make it seem larger than it is, the walls have been painted white. Old wooden floor is also painted white. Filled with lots of colourful details and with black accent wall in entryway (it's chalkboard actually) this white apartment looks interesting, like a happy place to live in.

{weekend project} wall clock *** {uradi sam} zidni sat

I have this photo in my inspiration files for a long time. It's such a creative and interesting wall clock; I wonder why I forgot about this idea when it is easy to make. Buy cheap photo frames and fill it with colourful fabrics, wrapping and scrapbooking paper or it could be more personal if you use family photos. Love this wall clock!

{Već duže vrijeme u svojoj arhivi inspiracije i potencijalnih projekata koje treba napraviti, stoji i ova slika. Kreativan i zanimljiv način za zidni sat, i pitam se zašto sam zaboravila na ovu ideju kad je tako jednostavna za realizovati a tako efektna. U radnjama "sve za euro" mogu se naći slični mali ramovi,ili ako je neko umješniji, mogu se napraviti od drvenih lajsni. Šarolike tkanine,ukrasni papiri ili zanimljive salvete mogu poslužiti za dekoraciju...a sve bi dobilo ličnu notu ako se npr koriste fotografije najdražih ljudi i momenata. Mehanizam od starog ili nekog jeftinog sata zašrafiti na zid i eto predivne dekoracije

wallpapering bathroom * tapete u kupatilu

From where I live bathrooms are usualy (almost it's a rule) covered in tiles from floor to ceiling. Not a bad option, but it would be interesting to see other solutions too. Like just painting walls in a great colour or even wallpapering it. Wouldn't it be great? Love the impact it makes in such a small room. Do you love it or not?

{ Kod nas su kupatila najčešće, kao po pravilu, prekrivena pločicama od poda do plafona. Nije to nimalo loša opcija, naprotiv...ali bi bilo zanimljivo odlučiti se i za nešto drugačije. Kao na primjer ofarbati zidove vodootpornom bojom u nekoj fenomenalnoj nijansi ili čak postaviti tapete. zar to ne bi bilo izuzetno? Meni se mnogo sviđa utisak koji tapete stvaraju u tako malom prostoru. Da li se i vama sviđa ili radije ne biste tapete imali u svom kupatilu?}

nursery in the master bedroom * bebi kutak u spavacoj sobi

Many new parents have to be creative with the placement of their nursery - like we did. When you don't have the space to give your baby (or babies) a room of her own, you have to turn your master bedroom into a dual purpose room. It can be challenging to decorate the room to fit both the adult and the baby - and that's fun about decorating. What colour palette is the best, what furniture to choose, how to arrange it, what decor elements are the best?...those might be some of your thoughts, and here are some tips you may find useful:

quirky artistic home / neobičan dom umjetnika

This eclectic apartment breathes the spirit of Sao Paolo with its interior design and decor scheme. It belongs to lawyer turned artist, Felipe Morozini. Leaving his previous life for one of more intense creativity and expression, this apartment is the perfect place to cultivate his inspiration and reflects his surroundings in a quirky way. Full of life, full of colors - just like the city, he has mixed and matched styles, each piece carefully chosen with an emotional significance. Here, everything melts together to create a space that is truly unique. So many interesting details to examine and maybe copy.

{Ovaj eklektičan stan svojim enterijerom i dekorom potpuno odiše duhom Sao Paola. Pripada advokatu koji se preorijentisao ka umjetnosti, Felipeu Moroziniju, započevši tako novi, mnogo izražajniji i kreativniji stil života; ovaj stan je idealno mjesto za inspiraciju a ujedno podražava okolinu na jedan neobičan način. S mnogo životnosti i obilja boja - kao što je i sam gead, Felipe je kombinovao različite stilove, birajući svaki detalj i komad namještaja po ličnom osjećaju. Sve je stopljeno tako da obrazuje potpuno jedinstven i unikatan prostor, s mnogo zanimljivih detalja za istraživanje a možda i kopiranje.} 

DIY idea / *uradi sam* ideja

February is mostly about love and caring for each other, while in my town it represents month of wine, mimosa and masquerade. I'm not into wine as a new mom with a breastfeeding baby. When I see rainy day outside, everything covered in fog - I'm not into flowers as well... and masquerade is everyday in my own home when we're playing with our three year old boy.
I want to make this February as a month of love finding ways to express my love and appreciation to dearest ones. This handmade heart seems to be a perfect gift. The best gifts are the ones we made, then they are truly personal and special.
To make this interesting romantic heart you'll need some cardboard, jute rope and a piece of lace ... and of course - a lot of love :)

{Februar je u velikom dijelu svijeta u znaku pažnje i ljubavi, a u mom gradu predstavlja mjesec vina, mimoze i maškara. Danas nisam u fazonu vina, jer kao novopečena majka na vino skoro da i ne smijem pomisliti. Ni do cvijeća mi nešto nije, kad kroz prozor vidim maglu i kišu, iako je mimoza jedan od omiljenog cvijeća...a maškare su mi u kući svaki dan uz igrarije sa trogodišnjakom. Trenutno mi više paše da februar gledam kao mjesec ljubavi i da nađem načine kako da svoju ljubav iskažem najmilijima. Ovo srce mi se čini kao idealan znak pažnje, jer smatram da je najljepše kada poklončiće sami napravimo, tek onda su stvarno lični i posebni.

Da napravite ovo zanimljivo srce potrebno je malo kartona, špage i čipke...i naravno puuno ljubavi :)  }

new year...fresh start...good resolutions / nova godina..novi početak sa dobrim odlukama

Don't mind the calendar and the fact that february just started and many of you forgot about new year resolutions...it's never too late for a fresh start. I'm sure the start of the new year symbolizes a fresh begginings to many of you. It's the perfect time to declutter your home and make room for all new
{Ne obraćajte pažnju na kalendar i činjenicu da je već počeo februar, da su mnogima odavno završeni razgovori o novogodišnjim odlukama...jer nikada nije kasno za novi list, za neke bitne odluke u svakodnevici. Sigurna sam da svima nova godina neminovno simbolizuje i nove početke, i dok smo još u prvom tromjesečju, idealno je vrijeme da pokrenete pozitivnu energiju kroz svoj dom, da prostor prodiše..da izbacite sve nepotrebno i stvorite prostor za nešto novo.}
