Balkan breeze Charming Belgrade apartment ** šarmantan beogradski stan

***(the post is too long for english and serbian version, so please use google translator to fully enjoy the interview and home tour) ***

Dosta je prošlo od poslednje Balkan breeze reportaže, ali je vrijedilo čekati. Ovaj put predstavljam stan inspirisan Amsterdamom i skandinavskim stilom koji je i na našim prostorima jednako popularan, upravo zbog života u malim stanovima.
Dragana, vlasnica stana, je od onih osoba s kojima bih odmah sutra voljela piti kafu i razglabati o mnogočemu. Iako smo se čule samo preko mejlova, djeluje mi tako srdačno i prijatno. A njen lični blog inspiracije treba obavezno "prelistati". Evo šta je ona rekla o svom šarmantnom stanu:

Ime:   Dragana Lazović
lokacija i veličina stana:   Beograd, Voždovac, 51 m2

koji je tvoj stil i čime si se vodila pri uređenju i organizovanju ovog stana: Ja već imam dosta iskustva u uređenju prostora, iako mi to nije profesija. Moja porodična kuća je mnogo prostranija, opremljena nameštajem od drveta u prirodnoj boji. Sad sam se suočila sa daleko manjim prostorom, a imala sam želju i da probam nešto sasvim drugačije. Inače volim nameštaj ravnih, čistih linija. Pošto sam nekako u to vreme posetila Amsterdam, tamo sam videla te bele cigle, i uopšte skandinavski stil koji mi je delovao prikladan za mali stan. Posto je to stan za dva momka, moje sinove, malo sam se uplašila da ne bude preženstven, pa sam njihovu sobu uradila nesto drugačije. Žute i plave boje.




 omiljeni dio: 
Sve mi je omiljeno na svoj način. Volim hodnik sa belim ciglama i belim podom, i crno belim tapetama. Manja sobica, koju moj muž i ja koristimo kad odemo u Beograd, posebno mi je draga zbog tih ogledala koja sam napravila od goblena kupovanih preko aukcijskog sajta i farbala u belo. Dnevnu sobu obožavam. U prostor od 18,5m2 smestila sam trpezarijski deo, malu kuhinju i dnevni deo sa TV-om i policama. I ni najmanje ne deluje natrpano. Dok sedite okrenuti ka televizoru, oči se odmaraju na zidu sa tirkiznim tapetama.

najveći izazov s kojim si se susrela:
Ceo stan je bio izazov. Bio je potpuno ruiniran. Po strukturi dvosoban, a ja sam htela dve odvojene spavaće sobe, pa sam kuhinju prebacila u dnevni boravak. Sarađivala sam sa dobrim majstorima, znala sam šta hoću, a imala sam i izvesno iskustvo. Sve je bilo izvodljivo.







šta kažu ukućani i prijatelji:
Svima se dopalo, naravno. Ko god je ušao bio je iznenadjen prostorom. Odaje utisak da je dosta veći. Zbog toga što je svetao, i što je hodnik neuobičajeno širok. I zbog  kombincije belih zidova sa ciglama i tapetama. Nameštaj je lagan, od bele iverice u visokom sjaju, sto za ručavanje je staklen i ne opterecuje prostor a i stolice su lagane. Kuhinja je rađena po meri od belog medijapana. Kupatilo deluje dosta luksuzno, iako nije mnogo koštalo. Takav efekat je postignut mozaik pločicama.

savjet za mali prostor ili za proces uređenja:  
Bitno je da znate sta želite, da sve nacrtate u pravilnim razmerama, da posle ne bi bilo iznenađenja, da ne bude pretrpano. Ja sam nameštaj sama crtala, a jedna radionica mi je sve pravila. Nameštaj po meri je možda najpametniji za male prostore. Meni je olakšavajuća okolnost bila i to što u stanu postoji ostava, koja je iskorišćena kao garderober, tako da je ostatak stana oslobođen ormana.
Lepo je ako ste vešti sa šivenjem, jer sam ja sama šila jastučiće i zavese. Internet je pun ideja, ima gomila sajtova na kojima možete naći nešto što vama odgovara.





šta bi uradila drugačije:
hmmmm, mislim da ne bih nista, hahahahaahaa. Već godinu smo u tom stanu i svaki put kad uđem u njega osetim zadovoljstvo. Fali mi aspirator u kuhinji, tu sam omanula. Ali i to može lako da se doda i reši. U sledećem stanu bih možda umesto zidnih pločica u stanu stavila stakla u boji, mada su ove moje prelepe. Ne znam, imam jos hiljadu ideja. Ali nemam više stanova :D






Eto, nadam se da ste uživali u intervjuu i fotografijama za koje je zaslužan Duško Damjanović. Ako imate dodatnih pitanja, slobodno pitajte u komentarima

vibrant contemporary penthouse ** živopisan savremen stan

What a beautiful, happy, vibrant home. I can't decide on what I like more: jungle on the wall,  interesting chairs or colour palette.
Maurizio Goviannoni is the creator of this amazing 65sqm penthouse. He describes his work as a blend of cultures, with a bit of play and irony, creating a joyful and relaxing atmosphere.

most amazing small apartment ** najzanimljiviji mali stan

Can't describe how I am thrilled to find photos of this AMAZING and SO coool apartment! There are great design ideas for small spaces, especially if you're a renter. The owner is tv show producer and a blogger Janet Lee. This lady has style and experience in small space living without sacrificing stuff and colour. Although I love purified apartments, decorated minimally...this one screams my name. This style is much more me, and my aim is to create something similar at my home. Janet published a book Living in a nutshell several months ago, have to buy it as soon as possible. She's ultimately inspiring to me.

design board ** dizajn predlog

The designboard I made here is for my younger sister. She has a room in our family house. The room is already furnished, but not functional as it should be. There are two sofa beds, big armoire and one pretty big rectangular coffee table. Boring + it's taking too much of valuable floor space. She wants something more functional, according to her living style...place for relaxing, enjoying some quiet time, reading books, for yoga practising. She's inspired by Asian culture, especially Japanese, but also loves romantic French and Scandinavian functionality. I tried to combine the three, so my inspiration is this chevron pattern in black, taupe and blue palette, with lots of white, natural elements and contrasting rectangular and oval shapes. here's the design board:

modern family apartment in Warsaw ** moderan porodični stan u Varšavi

Great ideas, overall functionality, well used space, kid-friendly environment, positive vibrations with loads of vibrant colours...that's what I see in this Poland apartment. Measures approx 65sqm but it seems like a hundred. I bet my kids would be enormously happy in this place. And nothing would make me happy more :)

{small space} Belgrade studio ** {mali stan} Garsonjera u Beogradu

Studio apartment in center of Belgrade measures 28sqm and it's for rent. The space is very well used, and the colour palette is just enough dinamic as it should be. Looks smart and comfortable. My favourite features are the kitchen/dining island and the olive tree in the corner.

black on white ** crno na bijelo

Combination of these two "non-colours" is timeless, always trendy, versatile, adjustable, beautiful and stylish. Some inspiration the way I like this "palette"

home full of energy and colour ** dom pun boja i energije

This almost 70m2 odd shaped apartment was so neglected, that owners had to demolish everything, and start with a clean slate.
As it can be seen on the plan functionality was more important than tradition. They gained space with a gallery above the bathrooms, extra light and sights with the inner windows. All white makes the apartment look brighter and bigger, as well as shiny surfaces do. The coloured mood lighting makes the focal point and it was based on their own design, using glass of various colours and LEDs. 
 Stan u Budimpešti, veličine skoro 70 kvadratnih metara, bio je u veoma lošem stanju kada su ga sadašnji vlasnici ugledali. Ipak, uspjeli su da uoče potencijal. Vrlo neobičan oblik stana je bio izazov za organizovanje, ali je i nagovještavao zanimljiv rezultat. S obzirom da je originalno stan bio prilično mračan, vlasnici su odlučili ispuniti ga bjelinom i reflektujućim, sjajnim površinama, što je doprinijelo sada prozračnoj, svijetloj i prijatnoj atmosferi. Da bi izbjegli sterilnost, prostor su akcentovali jarkim bojama, pa sve odiše razigranošću i pozitivnom energijom.

{DIY idea} sandwich station ** {uradi sam} ćoše za pravljenje užine


 Ako svakodnevno pravite sendviče ili sličnu užinu, posebno djeci za školu, evo zanimljivog riješenja za sve alate pri ruci. Potrebna vam je samo jedna ladica koju ćete ofarbati po želji, ugraditi dva do tri štapa - za ubruse, foliju za umotavanje i eventualno peki papir. Pri dnu ladice, pričvrstite ploču od iverice na kojoj ste napravili tri otvora za salvete, kesice za užinu i kuhinjske gumice. Sa strane po želji možete postaviti plutanu tablu za dnevni ili sedmični meni, kao i kukicu za makaze i krpu. Kompletno uputstvo za rad i materijal na sajtu Curbly

{DIY idea} houndstooth wall stencil ** {uradi sam} pepito dezen na zidu

The elegance and versatility of houndstooth pattern amazes me. I've wrote about more colourful version of houndstooth stenciled wall before, and this one is equaly great. The owner of this lovely working corner, Aimee, is right when saying it changed the space from bore...to adore. It looks completed, sophisticated and - most important - it sends creative vibe. This stencil is even easy to make at home, so why don't give it a try?
via it's overflowing
Prilagodljivost pepito šare kao i njena svevremenska elegancija me oduševljavaju. Koliko znam, nisam vidjela do sada primjenu na zidu, iako se vratila na velika vrata u sve aspekte dizajna. Veoma mi se dopada kako izgleda u radnom kutku, vizuelno ga odvajajući od ostatka prostorije, i čineći ga kompletnim, bez potrebe za dodatnim uređivanjem slikama i sl. Dezen je toliko jednostavan da se šablon može napraviti i kod kuće. Vrijedi probati, zar ne?

{DIY idea} Lovely paper wall art ** {uradi sam} zidni ukras od papira


mustard yellow ** senf žuta

Did you know that yellow is at the bottom on the list of peoples' favourite colour? Don't understand why. For me, it's a happy, cheery colour, full of positive energy.
It symbolizes the light and divine glory, as well as jealousy, envy and hate. How contradictious, right? It used to be symbol of quarantine through history.
I don't love all yellow shades though...I prefer warm yellows, especially mustard yellow. Looks great on clothes, and I love to see it in interiors - both in small or big doses.

{love this space} orange and aqua ** narandžasto i plavo

photo via bhg
Love this space! feels so good with just right amount of cold and warm hues for comfy room to spend autumn rainy days in. Be careful when choosing flooring, patterned samples can be tricky. Here, it looks warm and interesting, creating a statement. Everything else except the wallpapers is in solid colour.
For creating this look combine rich wood finish with dark grey furniture. Paint the walls in aqua tone to bring the light in. Choose all textiles in bold colour like orange or terracotta, perfect for this time of year. Don't be afraid to bring some accents in deep green, for example in glass (like the stone lamp)

Ovdje je sasvim prava razmjera hladnih i toplih tonova za kreiranje udobnog kutka za odmor u jesenjim kišnim danima. Predlažem da budete pažljivi pri izboru ovakvog tipa podne obloge, jer može djelovati ili fantastično ili potpuno suprotno. Ovdje plijeni pažnju, jer jedino pod i tapeta imaju šaru, dok je sve ostalo jednobojno.
Želite li stvoriti ovakav ambijent kombinujte tamnu, toplu boju drveta uz sivi namještaj. Da rasteretite prostor od teških elemenata, zidove obojite u nježnu nijansu plavozelene, a sve akcentujte kroz tekstile u jarkoj boji. Za jesen i nadolazeću zimu topla narandžasta je odličan izbor. Nemojte oklijevati da unesete i koji dodatni akcent u recimo tamno zelenoj boji, ali samo u laganim materijalima, kao što je recimo staklo.

{home tour} nature indoors ** {stan} priroda u kući


This lovely home, full of personality, belongs to the couple of artists, Kimi Weart and Paul Galloway. Photographed by Trevor Tondro.  What I love about this home is it feels so connected to the nature with loads of wooden furniture, branches, antlers and calming colour palette.
Favourite parts are bunch of lightbulbs over the desk, open shelving throughout the house, "credenza" out of kitchen kabinets and rug in the living room.

{DIY idea} fallen leaves ** {uradi sam} opalo lisce

Autumn gives us plenty of materials for expressing our creativity. I've picked one lovely and simple idea out of many. I love how good the result looks...and not just for fall

fall/winter style: exposed brick ** jesen/zima inspiracija: zid od cigle

Well . hello . peeps!
God, how I missed this blog...and writing...inspirational photos...and all of your blogs I love to read
Finally, I have a new computer since yesterday, is there anybody who can imagine my happiness...after using the huge one for nine and half years?!
I was quite busy for these two months (well, who wasn't?) and I won't bother you about that. Let's get right to my inspiration these days. Exposed brick :)

Totally fall/winter style. Painted or natural, it is unbelievable gorgeous! gereat focal point, makes a dramatic statement, adds a sense of warmth and texture to a space, and I love how the light can cast a range of shadows that make the most of the texture and colors in the brick.

{DIY idea} headboard sillhouette ** {uradi sam} uzglavlje

You like minimal decor but you still want that personal touch? Just play, even with the simplest materials! In this case, Regine used electrical black tape to create this personal headboard inspired by Fjellby.
Volite jednostavno uređene sobe, a opet vam fali ˝ono nešto˝ što će prostoriji dati lični pečat?! Poigrajte se i sa najjednostavnijim materijalima. U ovom slučaju Regine je umjesto pravog uzglavlja, na zid trakom izcrtala željenu siluetu inspirisanu proizvodima norveške firme Fjellby.

tiny workspaces ** mini radni kutak

 I've gathered some inspiration for creating a corner office in your home. It can be much more adorable than office room, and I love them because it's a challenge to design an effective office in your living room, dining room or bedroom. Hope it inspires you :)
Skupila sam dosta inspiracije za uređenje radnog kutka u okviru dnevne sobe, trpezarije, kuhinje ili pak spavaće sobe. Smatram da mogu biti mnogo simpatičnije od radnih soba a podjednako efektivne. Nadam se da će svako pronaći za sebe neku ideju i realizovati je :)

problem solved + pirate party printables ** problem riješen + poklon dekor za gusarsku zabavu


Nije baš da je sve riješeno, ali bar opet mogu da aploudujem slike, što mi je trenutno ovdje glavna stvar. U međuvremenu, tokom vikenda, zaboravila sam na tehnologiju, jer smo proslavljali 4. rođendan starijem sinu, a tema zabave bila je GUSARI i POTRAGA ZA BLAGOM.

damn those technical issues ** dođavola sa tehničkim problemima

I apologize for bad language, but I'm    #$"&#$!%   mad with technical problems I have every day. It's not easy to finish posts, e-decorating projects and illustration prints I sell here (haven't wrote about that) in a limited time when you have a 9yr old computer. It's a pain, but I'm extremely patient person. Thank God!
And besides that my pc is slow as 100yr old man, it seems my blog is bugged. For several days I can't upload ANY picture to posts. Hope to find the solution and fix it soon...meanwhile don't forget me...I'll still visit your blog. Have a lovely weekend :)

Izvinjavam se zbog nepriličnog izražavanja, ali puna mi je kapa svakodnevnih problema sa kompjuterom i internetom. Pored obaveza u kući i sa djecom, nije jednostavno redovno pripremiti postove, dizajn projekte i ilustracije za štampanje i prodaju, a kamoli na 9 godina starom kompjuteru koji se ponaša kao stogodišnjak (kašlje, hoda jako sporo, prečesto zastaje i stalno mu se spava). Mučenje jeste (tako kažu svi koji se bar na pola sata nađu u dodiru sa mojim dobrim starim pi-si-jem) ali Bogu hvala, ja sam vrlo strpljiva osoba. I PORED SVEGA TOGA, izgleda da mi je blog bagovan. Možda lupam sad, jer stvarno o tome ne znam ništa, ali kako drugačije da objasnim da već danima ne mogu NITI JEDNU sliku da ubacim u post. Nadam se da ću tokom vikenda naći uzrok i rješenje, a vi me nemojte zaboraviti...jer ću u međuvremenu svakako posjećivati vaše blogove.
I prije nego vam poželim prijatan vikend, kažite mi da li dramim previše oko devetogodišnjeg kompjutera? možda ima neko i stariji? jer u mom krugu poznanika, svi imaju bolju mašinu od mene...što mi zvoni kao krajnje vrijeme za promjenu (ne zato što svi imaju ono što ja nemam, već što je to onda ključni argument za investiciju)

Uživajte u vikendu i ljepoti avgusta

do čitanja :)

{weekend project} kitchen storage cart ** {uradi sam} kuhinjski stočić kolica

Kitchen cart is highly efficient piece of furniture in any home. It is great for huge homes, but esspeccialy tiny homes in need for double duty items. You can use it wherever you think of - storage for everything you need for baby bathing and changing, in bathroom use it for cleaning products,or beauty products, in bedroom it can serve as makeup and jewelry table, and in the living room for drinks and snacks. For complete tutorial on what you need and how to make this one pictured above, visit Lowe's creative ideas.
Kuhinjska kolica su vrlo praktičan element u svakom domu. Preporučljiva su za velike a posebno za male prostore. Ipak, nisam čula u mom okruženju da ih neko koristi, niti primjetila po časopisima u zemlji. Vrijeme je da se situacija promjeni. Zbog siromašnog izbora i navodne nepotražnje ovakvog kuhinjskih kolica, najbolje riješenje je napraviti ih ili naručiti po mjeri. Ne samo da se mogu koristiti u kuhinji, nego u maltene svim djelovima kuće. Može biti stočić za odlaganje bebi stvari potrebnih za kupanje i presvlačenje, u kupatilu za hemiju, kozmetiku i ručnike, u dnevnoj sobi za posluženje, u spavaćoj sobi mini stočić za nakit i šminku...ma što god zamislite. Za kompletno uputstvo šta je potrebno i kako napraviti baš ovaj zanimljiv model, posjetite Lowe's creative ideas

cool off with fans ** rashladite se ventilatorima


At the time of unbearable heat, we must find ways to cool off. Swimming in the sea doesn't help either, unless it's after sunset. SO how to stand all day indoors without getting overheated or endanger the health with air conditioners (because of the huge temperature differencies)? I always vote for the good old fan, whose sound makes me sleepy while the air flow calms and relaxes. So I looked for some fancy fans for you, not only practical but looking like a jewel as well. Additional information about the performance, design, size and price you will find in the links.
  1. bright coloured TYKHO FAN
  2. PROPELLO by Black+Blum
  3. CHARLY by Stadler Form
  4. ARDEN floor fan by Fanimation
  5. OTTO bamboo by Stadler Form
U vrijeme ovih nesnosnih vrućina moramo naći sve načine da se rashladimo. Ne pomaže ni odlazak na more, sem nakon zalaska sunca. A kako izdržati cijeli dan u zatvorenom a da ne dobijete toplotni udar ili ugrozite zdravlje klima uređajima? Uvijek glasam za stari dobri ventilator, čiji zvuk umiruje i uspavljuje a strujanje vazduha opušta. Zato sam iz gušta potražila na netu fensi ventilatore, koji će ne samo biti praktični već i uvijek izgledati kao dragulj u vašem domu. Dodatne informacije o performansama, izradi, veličini i cijeni naći ćete na linkovima.

{home tour} all season purple ** {moj stan} ljubičasta za sve sezone

Well, there's great inspiration for all of you who don't like changes much. When decorating your home stick with neutral base freshened with purple. Rich purple shades are great for all seasons as it can look classy, vivid, and make a room feel cold or warm. Everything is white here - walls, doors and windows, all furniture except sectional sofa. Dark neutral wood flooring makes the room grounded, and freshness is brought by purple shaded accessories.
Za sve one koji ne vole česte promjene, pa ni u svom domu, kao inspiraciju za boje pri uređenju predlažem neutralnu osnovu osvježenu intenzivnom ljubičastom. Ovo je boja koja fantastično izgleda u svim godišnjim dobima i vrlo je prilagodljiva. Ne kažem da ostale boje nisu, ali prosto kada pomislite na zimski ambijent - asocijacija je na braon, zlatno žutu, crvenu, jesenji ambijent vas navodi na narandžastu i oker, proljećni na zelenu, roze i pastele, dok ljetni na žutu, plavu i plavozelenu. Ljubičasta će od sezone do sezone ostavljati drugačiji utisak i djelovati otmeno, svježe, toplo ili hladno.
Ovdje je sve bijelo - zidovi, drvenarija, namještaj, kao i prozorski paneli. Da se cijeli ambijent prizemlji, izabran je taman drveni pod neutralnog tona, i svijetlo siva ugaona sofa, dok je živost kroz cijelu kuću unijeta dekoracijom u ljubičastim nijansama.

with 30€ I would buy... ** sa 30€ kupila bih...

...gorgeous glazed boulder cups. They are such a statement, and I would be happy to use them every day and proudly serve my guests.
...predivne glazirane kamenolike šolje. Ostavljaju snažan utisak na svakoga ko ih vidi ili pije napitak iz njih, a ja bih ih sa zadovoljstvom koristila svaki dan i s ponosom iznosila pred goste.

{weekend project} modern clock ** {uradi sam} moderan zidni sat

Simplicity is what makes things unique in most cases. This clock made by Agus is the perfect example. There's a piece of wood scrap laying on my desk for a few months; I thought the idea will come itself just by looking at it. I had a few ideas but I didn't want to settle until the AHA moment. And here it is. So simple that I'm jealous why it wasn't MY idea :) But still, possibilities are endless with colours and motifs. What would you create?
This clock was inspired by the Primary Clock designed by David Weatherhead and GOODD for Thorsten van Elten and I found out about this via  Design Sponge
Jednostavnost je ključ originalnosti (bar u većini slučajeva). Pravi primjer je ovaj drveni moderan sat koji je napravila Agus, mlada arhitektkinja iz Buenos Airesa, a inspirisana je djelom dizajnera Davida Vederheda. Već dva mjeseca parče tankog drveta stoji na mom radnom stolu, gledam ga svakodnevno u nadi da će tako sinuti dobra ideja šta da uradim s njim. Imala sam nekoliko ideja, ali nije bilo AHA momenta, sve do sad. I malo zavidim...što ovo meni nije palo na pamet. Da napravim jednostavan moderan sat...a mogućnosti za dekoraciju su maltene bezgranične.

{e-design} go bold or neutral? ** jarke ili neutralne boje?

Milica, reader of PassionDecor wrote me to help her decorating living, dining and kitchen - all in one space. She was ready to insert some colour, and couldn't decide whether to bring colour with details or go bold with painting walls. Her original space was totally neutral and she wasn't happy with it. Her favourite colours are purple and green, so above you can see my design concept. After the jump you'll see mockup of the space and designboards I made.
Čitateljka PassionDecor bloga, Milica, obratila mi se za pomoć pri dekorisanju otvorenog prosotra koji čine dnevna soba, trpezarija i kuhinja. Bila je spremna da unese boje u neutralnu dnevnu zonu, ali nije mogla odlučiti da li je bolje da neutralnost razbije detaljima u boji, ili da stvarno napravi veliki iskorak i okreči zidove jarkim bojama. Dopada joj se kombinacija ljubičaste i zelene, i na slici iznad možete vidjeti dizajn koncept koji sam imala na umu. U nastavku možete pogledati virtuelno preuređenje u dvije varijante i dizajn table za kupovinu.

{love this space} organized workspace ** organizovan radni kutak

Love the bones of this space as it's versatile. It's girly and youthful in this case, but it can be decorated modern, or romantic, shabby, retro...you name it. And YOU - Random bookcase - I'll have my hands on you someday...or maybe just copy you for myself :D
Osnova ove radne sobice je odlična, jer se može urediti u stilu kojem zaželite. A polica Random iz MDF-a...biće moja kad-tad...pa makar samo napravila njenu kopiju, ah :D

35 ideas to camouflage your TV ** kamuflirajte televizor

I selected this post to be featured on Interior Design Blogs. Please visit the site and vote for my blog!


glorily and jeremy's evolving wicker park victorian via ApartmentTherapy
 We all watch tv, but mostly women (don't mind me saying that) don't like when the TV dominates the room. I see on the web, there are homes with family or media rooms dedicated for this purpose. As most of the people live in small houses or apartments, they have to think of a solution to blend the tv seamlessly and still be able to watch it comfortably. I collected some inspiration for disguising the tv without spending much money or building new furniture.
Televizori su neminovnost, da ne kažem - neophodnost, u današnje vrijeme. Lično nisam vidjela dom bez tv, i mogu zaključiti samo da smo postali rob te čarobne spravice sa pokretnim slikama. U nekom svom tinejdžerskom dobu, kada je svašta tutnjalo na Balkanu, sa mamom i sestrama sam bojkotovala televizor nekoliko godina. Neopisivo smo se zbližile, i tada sam naučila da riječ 'dosadno' ne smije da postoji u riječniku. Sada, tv je prečesto uključen, i pošto znam da ga ne mogu izbaciti iz stana, mogu ga kamuflirati. Na internetu sam skupila nekoliko ideja za uspješno i povoljno kamufliranje televizora, a da se ne prave posebni ormarići sa vratima ili tajni prostori u zidu. Srećom, savremeni televizori se većinom montiraju na zid poput slike, a mogu čak i da izgledaju kao slika.
Šta možete uraditi da tv ne bude prvo što se uoči u sobi?

{weekend project} rope headboard ** uzglavlje od umreženog konopa



Choose a rope colour that contrasts with the wall and one that coordinates with your bedlinen. Make a custom and simple wood frame. Randomly drill holes on the frame and then thread different types of rope through holes and tie a knot at each end to secure. It's helpful to have someone hold the rope tight while you tie the knot. In the end trim rope after knots and dab some clear nail polish or glue on the ends to stop it fraying. Hope you see endless possibilities with this technique. This way you can create mail center, inspiration board or photo display for example (with a use of clothespins)
Izaberite konop u kontrastnoj boji zida i jedan koji je sličan boji posteljine na primjer. Napravite po mjeri jednostavan ram od drvenih letvica i nasumično probušite rupe, mada možete i isplanirati izgled mreže. Komade kanapa provlačite bez nekog reda i zavežite u čvorove. Tu bi dobro došla i nečija pomoć, da bi kanapi bili dobro zategnuti. Odsjeći višak kanapa kod čvora i namazati ljepilom ili lakom za nokte da se ne bi razvezao.

{stylish small} is 28m2 enough for two? ** 28 kvadrata dovoljno za dvoje?

Although it's small, this apartment in Milan lacks nothing, and thanks to high ceilings it's decorated very functional and comfortable. To make the most of this small space with 3.3m high ceiling, a young couple living there, asked  the architect Ettore Larian for help. He created the platform (loft)  for sleeping area and wardrobe, and open space below contains several zones - kitchen and dining area with TV corner and Tattomi sofa, designed by Ingo Maurer and Jan Armgadta, then office area with library, which can be separated with sliding panels, and there is a place for bathroom, laundry and mini built-in wardrobe, too. Due to the lack of natural light, bathroom walls are made of opal glass strengthened by thin strips of stainless steel.
Iako male kvadrature, ovom stanu u Milanu ništa ne nedostaje, zahvaljujući visokim tavanicama, uređen je veoma funkcionalno i komforno. Kako bi maksimalno iskoristili ovaj mali prostor, mladi par koji u njemu živi, obratio se za pomoć arhitekti Ettore Larianiju, koji je visinu od 3.3m pretvorio u prednost. Napravljena je platforma na kojoj se nalazi zona za spavanje i garderober, a donji jedinstveni prostor sadrži više zona - kuhinja i trpezarija sa TV kutkom i foteljom Tattomi, dizajnera Ingo Maurera i Jan Armgadta, zatim radni kutak sa bibliotekom koji se može odvojiti kliznim panelima, a svoje mjesto su našli i kupatilo, mini vešernica i ugradni ormar. Zbog nedostatka prirodnog izvora svjetlosti, kupatilo je umjesto zidovima ograđeno opal staklom dodatno ojačanim tankim lajsnama od nerđajućeg čelika.

timeless living and dining room ** vanvremenska dnevna soba i trpezarija

 Remember when I posted this timeless grey living room with yellow accents and red wood? Do you want to see the rest of the room? it is living and dining area joint in one room looking to the kitchen. no need to tell again how much I love the mid century feel.
tell me, is that the TV above the sofa?
interior design by Sarah Richardson
Sjećate li se ove dnevne sobe sa žutim akcentima i drvetom u boji mahagonija? nadam se da želite da vidite i ostatak prostorije...dnevna soba i trpezarija čine cjelinu a odmah do njih je i kuhinja. Suvišno je ponavljati koliko mi se sviđa atmosfera prve polovine XX vijeka
da li se i vama čini da je na zidu iznad sofe TV?

{home tour} colonial vibes ** {moj stan} dodir kolonijalnog

 Although I know most of you already've seen these photos, I just had to post this home tour for its bright yellow accents and true eclectic style. or maybe more colonial?! natural mixed with modern creates a plyful space that's stylish and family friendly, too. This apartment looks more personalized than styled to me, and that's good. Any thoughts?
Iako sam sigurna da su mnogi već odavno vidjeli ove fotkice (i možda ih se zasitili), morala sam ih objaviti jer mi se suviše dopada kako je ovaj stančić uređen. Jarki žuti akcenti izgledaju fantastično u ovom omažu prirodi pomješanom sa elementima modernog. Prostor djeluje skladno a i pogodno za porodicu. POsebno mi se sviđa što ipak ovaj stan više dejluje karakterno nego stilizovano. Šta vi mislite?

{weekend project} cross stitch on the wall ** {uradi sam} unakrsni vez na zidu

Simple and fun project with big impact! Great if you need a cheap but noticable change. Pick a motif you love, draw a net out of small squares with a pencil and then paint cross stitch from the center of the motiv. Leave 24h to dry before erasing pencil marks

update: thanks to Škrabalica - now I know this technique and rose motif is courtesy of Eline Pellinkhof. She's so inspiring!

{stylish small} living in 15m2 ** život u samo 15 kvadrata

As I mentioned, May issue of Casaviva featured most amazing apartment studio tour not bigger than 15m2 (161 sq ft). My teenage room was bigger than that and I'd still sometimes find it small - and there were no kitchen and bathroom. Every milimeter is well planned here, perfect for single or for students. The owner and designer ot this lovely home is Silvia Citterio
Kao što sam rekla, nevjerovatan stančić je prikazan u majskom broju casavive. Da li možete zamisliti da svoj životni prostor svedete na samo 15m2? Moja djevojačka soba je bila malo veća od toga, i tu nisam morala da ukombinujem kuhinju i kupatilo... pa mi je opet znala biti tijesna. Ovdje je sve do milimetra uklopljeno i dobro promišljeno, i savršeno je za samce, pogotovo za studente. Tu je sve što je potrebno, a ne odlazi puno vremena na održavanje. Divota! Vlasnica i arhitekta je Silvia Citterio

highlights / CASAVIVA mag / Maj 2012

 I've decided to scan highlights of my favourite magazines. I have them so many, it's hard to remember in what issue is that particular article I loved. sometimes, I have to flip through dozens until I find what I'v been looking for. this is my way to be more organized... If some of you enjoy these posts, even better :)


{Odlučila sam da skeniram poneke stranice iz mojih omiljenih časopisa koje kupujem već godinama. Prijete da me uguše koliko ih imam, i skoro je nemoguće zapamtiti u kom baš ono broju se nalazi taj i taj članak kojeg se sjećam. Pamtim skoro kompletan sadržaj svih časopisa,ali naravno, ne znam gdje se šta nalazi. Često moram da prevrtim bar dvadesetak brojeva dok ne naletim na traženu sliku ili tekst. E, riješila sam probati da tom problemu doskočim na ovaj način...a volim da u svemu budem organizovana. Još bolje ako se bar nekim od vas dopada ovaj serijal...}

{stylish small} experimenting with design ideas ** experimentisanje sa idejama

 This 50m2 apartment belongs to talented Mette Helena where she lives with her daughter. Personally, I don't think it's challenging for two to  live in apartment that big (as we're family of four living in much smaller space), but I too know how many stuff an artist can have - too many according to my husband. So, I agree - it is a challenge to provide enough storage for all your belongings without a proper home office, as well creating everything to look good and inviting.

kitchen makeover ** uređenje kuhinje

Months ago I stumbled upon this amazing kitchen makeover. And I don't mean "brand new kitchen" - anyone can have a fabulous brand new kitchen with enough money. Here the old kitchen got the new look. For more (and you'll want to see more) visit Nothing but bonfires
Prije koji mjesec sam naišla na sjajan mejkover kuhinje, i to ne mislim na "sve je potpuno novo" tip kuhinje, nego pravo šminkanje postojećih elemenata i odličnu viziju vlasnika. Priznajem, ja bih prvo poželjela sve srušiti pa raditi ispočetka, evo pogledajte...

{home tour} with perfect sofa ** {moj stan} sa savršenom sofom


Well, I'll continue posting inspiring interiors pinned months ago. The reason why I was particularly  drawn to this home tour on Apartment Therapy is that blue sofa. I have no words to describe it's elegant and timeless line. When times come to buy a new sofa, I'll order custom made just like this one. Back to the home tour...
