{home tour} light and natural ** {moj stan} svijetlo i prirodno

 

I found photos of this beautiful home on Seventeen doors blog. Styling by Camilla Tange; photos by Peter Kragballe. Owner of the home blogs on Garsdals Lykke, where you can see more of this beautiful place.


{Fotke ovog predivnog skandinavskog stana pronašla sam na Seventeen doors blogu, a reportaža je prvobitno objavljena u danskom časopisu Boligmagasinet. Za stajling je bila zadužena Camilla Tange a za fotografiju Peter Kragballe. Za više slika, posjetite blog vlasnice stana, Garsdals Lykke}

{weekend project} pin cushions ** {napravi sam} jastučić za igle

Now, when you decorated your home sewing space, you could also make these adorable pin cushions. If you need complete tutorial, head over to the blog Krpice i Konci

{E, kada ste uredili svoj kutak za šivenje, vrijeme je da se naprave i preslatki jastučići za igle. Odlična zanimacija ako je predstojeći vikend bez obaveza. Kako napraviti baš ovakve jastučiće, potražite na blogu Krpice i Konci}

{love this space} workspace ** radni kutak

is this very interesting sweet sewing corner or what? simplicity of this space with versatile feminine details totally got me

{vjerujem da se mnoge švalje ne bi složile sa mnom da je ovo zgodan kutak za svakodnevno šivenje...ili možda jeste? :)

jednostavnost ovog prostora sa raznovrsnim detaljima me je prosto očarala}

restaurant / bar ** restoran / bar

 This is definitely a must-visit restaurant/bar in Belgrade. Pizza bar is modern and original designed restaurant with warm but vibrant colours, handmade and custom-made details. It feels relaxing, happy and interesting. Moto of this Belgrade-based restaurant is 'Your happy place'. Have to go there at least once, as soon as I get a chance. Tall colourful shelf is the focal point and my favourite part of the space. Everything but the chairs is custom designed by Mladen Vračević. All I could find about him is that he works as architect at Slavija projekt . Hope he will soon create his own portfolio site

{Definitivno mjesto koje se mora posjetiti. Pizza bar je dizajniran na moderan i originalan način sa toplim ali i jarkim bojama, i sa dosta detalja koji su rađeni ručno i po mjeri. Atmosfera mi djeluje opuštajuća i veoma prijatna, a moje oči bi samo lutale po prostoru razgledajući sve do sitnica. Čim budem imala priliku da odem do Beograda, posjetiću i ovo mjesto. Zasigurno najviše pažnje privlači zanimljiva do tavanice visoka polica,a sav namještaj u lokalu, sem stolica, je pravljen po zamisli dizajnera Mladena Vračevića. Sve što sam uspjela zasad naći o njemu, osim par projekata po sajtovima o industrijskom dizajnu, je da radi kao arhitekta u Slavija projekt studiju.}

29 small balcony inspirations ** 29 ideja za mali balkon

It's about time to enjoy your days and evenings in your balconies. These few sqares, usualy neglected, can turn into your little sunbathing oasis. Whether you want to have breakfast there, or read a book, grow plants and flowers, make a kid's playground or a workspace - I'm sure you'll find inspiration here. Tell me, what do you use your balcony for? which photo you liked the best?{Ako dosad i niste mogli zbog hladnog vremena ili koječega drugog, krajnje je vrijeme da guštirate proljećne dane i večeri na balkonu. Bilo da balkon želite iskoristiti kao mjesto za obroke, čitanje knjige, njegovanje biljki, igru sa dječicom ili kao radni kutak, ovdje ćete naći inspiraciju, sigurna sam. Tih nekoliko najčešće zapostavljenih kvadrata može se pretvoriti u vašu malu oazu okupanu suncem :)

{love this space} entryway ** predsoblje

First impression about a space lasts forever, so think about it when decorating your entrance as it's the first thing your guest see. Vintage flair of this hallway creates welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.

{Prvi utisak koji se stekne o nekom prostoru (kao i ljudima), ostaje skoro zauvijek...zato treba da vodimo računa kakav utisak želimo ostaviti. Ulaz, predsoblje ili hodnik u tom slučaju igraju najbitniju ulogu. Ovdje, šarm starinskog stvara atmosferu tople dobrodošlice. }

{home tour} perfect mix of styles ** {moj stan} savršena mješavina stilova

 

 This home is so good looking, I had to re-blog it. I was drawn by it's contemporary - vintage flair, and I love the overall colour palette. You can't go wrong with natural colours, and to create personality add some spice (like the mustard Eams chairs) and favourite accent colour like pink, yellow and turquoise. Chalkboard wall gives this space depth and looks great in dining area. Combination of some elements is so natural, like they have always meant to be together. Mix of different styles is just right. I tried to find favourite element of this home, but I couldn't as every bit of it speaks right to my heart.

{weekend project} family photo gallery ** {uradi sam} galerija porodičnih slika

I have several project for this weekend, but this one is good to remember. Usually, I'm not fond into family pictures gallery, but love this one. Every bit of it is perfect. Burnt out edges, overexposure on some photos, the way photos are lined. Would love to see a gallery like this in my hallway, even better in living room. pinned on my "to do" list

{Za ovaj vikend već imam nekoliko projekata u planu, a ovaj definitivno treba zapamtiti za ubuduće. Inače mi se baš i ne dopadaju galerije porodičnih fotografija, ali ova me obara s nogu. Svaki djelić je savršen. Kao izgorene ivice, osvjetljene slike, kao i način na koji su složene čineći kvadrat. Voljela bih ovakvu galeriju vidjeti u mom hodniku ili još bolje, u dnevnoj sobi. Definitivno na listi narednih projekata}

p.s. this photo belongs to Jennifer Johner of The Little things blog, which is absolutely inspirative and beautiful.

{stylish small} casual style ** {mali stan} ležeran stil

 This stylish small apartment in Berlin has only 54 square meters. The most interesting part of it is the kitchen with sitting area. The great use of space, chalkboard wall, open shelves, big window, bench with soft cozy cushions and THREE pendants makes this space my favourite.
The space beneath the bench is used for storage. There's an easy access to everything, and I love the casual feel of this apartment with mismatched furniture and decor. Absolutely cozy!
{Ovaj mali stan u Berlinu ima samo 54 kvadratna metra. Već dugo ove slike imam u svom inspiracionom folderu, ali svaki put kada na njih naiđem, oduzmu mi dah. Najzanimljiviji dio je svakako kuhinja sa svojim udobnim kutkom za sjedanje, a oduševljava me svaki djelić - odlično iskorišćen prostor, zid kao tabla, otovrene police, veliki prozor, klupa sa mekanim jastucima, kao i tri visilice. Omiljeno! Prostor ispod klupe nije ostao neiskorišćen, ali sve u ovom stanu ima lak pristup. Pleni me ovaj ležeran ambijent uređen sa mnogo raznolikog namještaja i dekora, tako je udoban i prijatan.}

{love this space} work zone ** radni kutak

{Kutak neodređen isključivo kao prostor za rad, stopljen sa ostatkom stana mada istaknut bojom stola, čini se tako zanimljivim za pisanje pisama, sređivanje kućne papirologije, listanje omiljenih časopisa uz prijatan napitak i blogovanje...iako zbog stolice nije preporučljivo dugo zadržavanje}

vintage apartment in Milan ** Milanski vintidž stan

The apartment of Lorena Masdea, architect and interior designer,  is located in a small building in Milan from the thirties of last century. Industrial warm coloured flooring, optical effects from old prints on the walls and the overall retro look is quite captivating. The focus was on adapting the interior to the lifestyle through style and color, while the renovation was reduced to a minimum. Only the bathroom is completely renovated, and with the concrete floor looks a bit minimalist.

Full of designers furniture, the space feels cohesive with the same flooring throughout that perfectly matches with predominantly white walls, accented by bold colours to define certain areas.
This apartment features some great collection of retro posters and prints as well.
 
{Stan Lorene Masdea, arhitektice i dizajnerke enterijera, nalazi se u milanskoj zgradici iz tridesetih godina prošlog vijeka. Pleni već na prvi pogled industrijskim parketom u toplim tonovima, optičkim efektima sa starih printova na zidovima kao i ukupnim retro izgledom. Fokus je bio na prilagođavanju unutrašnjosti životnom stilu kroz dekoraciju i izbor stila i boja, dok je renoviranje svedeno na minimum. Jedino je kupatilo kompletno renovirano,a zbog betonskog poda djeluje minimalistički.
Osim dizajnerskih komada namještaja s polovine XX vijeka, ono što povezuje prostorije je isti izbor parketa koji savršeno parira pretežno bijelim zidovima, tek na nekoliko mjesta akcentovanim bojama.
Odmah sa ulaza se gleda na jedinstven prostor dnevnog boravka, trpezarije i kuhinje koji kombinuje retro izgled sa industrijskim. Odatle se kroz mali hodnik prolazi do spavaće sobe, radne/gostinske sobe i do kupatila.
Ovaj stan karakteriše smjela igra boja koje definišu pojedine oblasti kao i velika kolekcija retro postera i grafika.}

nursery ** jaslice

How lovely! I just had to feature this nursery inspired by Alice in wonderland. How cute is that little rocking chair, right? But my favourite part is the storage cubes mounted on the wall. I think it’s smart to have all baby stuff on open for easy access. It works for me perfectly. To see more of this room, go to Lovely Scribbles blog

{Mnogo je slatka soba za curicu, inspirisana Alisom u zemlji čuda. Mala stolica za ljuljanje je pravi biser, ali je meni omiljena polica montirana na zid. Praktična je jer oslobađa pod, a super je za držanje svih bebi stvarčica na otvorenom. Meni bar takav sistem odgovara. Da pogledate detaljnije ovu čarobnu sobicu, skoknite na Lovely Scribbles blog.}

attic inspiration ** inspiracija za potkrovlje

There is something so attractive and interesting about the attic, probably due to different ceiling height the space feels more cozy , while interesting structure of the walls and ceiling encourages creativity in decoration of these mostly small apartments with no interior walls. Once the attic was a dark and impractical for living, reserved for those who couldn’t afford better. Now this is a completely different story, with high quality insulation, large windows and plenty of natural light. Slopes of the lowest parts of space can be used for cabinets, racks, shelves or any function where there is no need to stand, like the sofa, bed or desk. The possibilities are great. Here are some pictures of inspiration ...

{Ima nešto u potkrovlju tako privlačno i zanimljivo, vjerovatno zbog različitih visina stropa osjećamo se ušuškanije, a interesantna struktura zidova i tavanice podstiče i kreativnost u uređenju tih najčešće malih stanova bez pregradnih zidova. Nekada su mansarde bile mračna i nepraktična mjesta za život onih koji nisu mogli priuštiti bolje. Sada je to potpuno druga priča, sa kvalitetnom izolacijom, velikim prozorima i obiljem dnevne svjetlosti čak i u najtmurnijim danima. Kosine i najniži dijelovi prostora mogu se iskoristiti za ormare, stalaže, police  ili za bilo koju funkciju gdje nije potrebno stajati,kao npr za sofe, krevet ili radni sto. Mogućnosti su velike. Evo slikovne inspiracije…}                                 read more after jump

feminine bedroom for me ** ženstvena spavaća soba samo za mene

Danas je bio red za neku reportažu od koje srce zaigra...ali ja nemadoh snage, a ni vremena da to pripremim. U glavi mi je samo kako da se ugnjezdim među jastuke i da prespavam cijelu noć. Istina da mi mnogo sna ne treba...samo da je bar 6 sati bez prekida. Doći će i to...a do tada maštam da me tek kroz škure ujutru probudi zrak Sunca na obrazu i da se nalazim u baš ovakvom ženstvenom ambijentu. Laku noć, odoh da sanjarim

{Balkan breeze} inspired by French style** inspirisano francuskim stilom

I could write a lot to introduce this home inspired by French romantic style, but the pictures speak louder than words. Obviously this is a corner decorated with lots of love and determination to create a space to fit. A number of lovely details found  their place in this small apartment, telling us about owner’s personality and lifestyle. I am convinced that everybody will find this atmosphere welcoming and pleasing

{Mogla bih se sada raspisati da predstavim dom inspirisan francuskim romantičnim stilom, ali slike govore više nego riječi. Očigledno je ovo kutak uređen sa puno ljubavi i odlučnosti da se kreira prostor baš po mjeri. Iako mali po kvadraturi, u njemu su našli svoje mjesto brojni detalji koji najviše govore o vlasnicima. Ubjeđena sam da ovakav ambijent svakome ostavlja utisak gostoljubivosti i ležernosti.}

{weekend project} cardboard shelf ** {uradi sam} polica od kartona

This would take an hour maximum to make and it's really interesting. I bet you have some shoe boxes by hand, and with a bit of wrapping or scrapbooking paper you can have a lovely shelf for your workspace organizing. I'm already thinking where to put it... Don't you just love ideas this simple?
{Ovo je ideja za maksimum sat posla, i vrlo je zanimljiva. Kutije od obuće su sigurno svima pri ruci...eventualno malo ukrasnog papira, kolaža ili tempere...i eto zanimljive police za radni sto. Vrlo dopadljivo. Upravo smišljam gdje bih ja mogla smjestiti ovu slatkicu...kako se vama čini?}

bohemian kitchen ** boemska kuhinja

It's been hectic around here...ahmm...it always is. But I'm managing somehow. Lucky me - I don't need much sleep. Now I'm recharging my bateries by flipping through blogs and beautiful spaces,and this amazing-vintage-bohemian-colourful-kitchen shelf made my heart skip a beat. So inspirational! no need to say more.
{Kod mene je ludnica već neko vrijeme...odnosno, uvijek je tako. I uspjevam nekako sve da postignem, nauštrb neke obaveze svakog dana. Srećom, nije mi potrebno puno sna. a upravo dopunjujem baterije prelistavanjem blogova i predivnih enterijera....i tu se našla  fotografija ove fantastične-vintidž-boemske-šarolike kuhinjske police od koje sam ostala bez daha. Taako inspirativno! ništa više ne treba reći.}

{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.}

it's baby time... / vrijeme je za bebe...

With this post I'm checking off for this year. I had in mind to publish few more posts, but preparations for a newborn occupies me the most. We can't wait to meet the sweet little one, and the baby is eager to meet us, too. I'm off to hospital tomorrow where I'll be celebrating New Year's Eve.
Full of faith that everything is going to be just fine, I'm wishing you happy holidays, lots of smile and sparkles in your eyes...

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

{Dragi moji, ovim člankom se odjavljujem sa bloga za ovu godinu, iako sam imala u planu još mnogo toga da objavim u decembru, jednostavno nisam stigla...najviše zbog priprema za novorođenče. Željno iščekujemo malog cvrčka, a i on žuri nas da upozna...tako da sutra odlazim u bolnicu gdje ću dočekati i Novu 2012.godinu. Sa vjerom da će sve biti u najboljem redu, želim svima lijepe praznike, osmjehe i iskre u očima...}

before*after: kitchen & dining area / prije*posle: kuhinja i trpezarija

It's been a while since I promised before and after photos of my childhood home, and now it's the time to show you photos of kitchen/dining area. Changes are always welcome, especially in case when nothing has been changed for decades. I wish I could keep the old wooden furniture, but it wasn't an option as I live in a small apartment. All I can is to keep visualising how the table and chairs would look in crisp white, and commode in bright pink or some other intense colour.

{Mada sam poodavno obećala fotkice moje kuće iz djetinjstva, tek sada su došle na red. I to slikice kuhinje i trpezarijskog dijela. Možete i da uporedite kako je bilo nekad, a kako je sad. Promjene su uvijek dobrodošle, posebno u slučaju kada ništa nije mijenjano decenijama, pa vremenom gubi sjaj i draž. Voljela bih da sam mogla zadržati stari namještaj od drveta i preurediti ga po želji, ali to prosto nije bilo moguće jer živim u malom stanu. A zamišljam sto i stolice lakirane u bijelo a vitrinu i dugačku komodu vjerovatno u neku intenzivnu boju. Roze? uh, to bi izgledalo fantastično!}

love this space ...

When a room speaks to me at a very first glance - it's the real thing! It's obvious that my taste varies from simple interiors to a spaces full of details where you need at least few hours to discover all the beauty. What connects all of the spaces I love is the noticeably personal, casual feel full of character. This living room feels the same. Beautifully cluttered is the hallway too, and the nursery is so playful and interesting. This is the place I could live in!

{Prava stvar je kada me neki prostor oduševi već na prvi pogled. Kontrasti u mom ukusu su veoma očigledni... od pročišćenih, jednostavnih enterijera do naglašenih prostora sa puno detalja u kojima vam treba bar par sati da otkrijete sve čari. Ono što sve te ambijente povezuje je neka nehajna ali i karakterna atmosfera, što se vidi i u ovom dnevnom boravku. Pored dnevne sobe, fenomenalno natrpan je i hodnik, a dječija soba je s ukusom razigrana i zanimljiva. Totalno enterijer u kom bih mogla da obitavam!}
