balkan breeze ... beauty of heritage

Hello my dearest readers... like I've mentioned before, PassionDecor presents a new category - "balkan breeze"...featuring lovely Balkan homes. Finally D day is happening. I will let you have a sneek peak into homes in Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Slovenia. Here will be presented homes never seen before...but also homes featured in some of my favourite magazines.
Hope you'll be thrilled as much as I am. For all of you living in this area - I'm proud to be a part of this team with so many talented and inspirational people... For all of you all around the world - please, enjoy these tours and let me show you my culture
Welcome!

Now, let's make the first tour...around this beautiful, heartful and lovely apartment in Serbia
This home belongs to Tanja (read Tanya), dear blogger friend...very smart and sharp woman, with good sense of style and eye for details. She was very kind, allowing me to feature her home on PassionDecor.
Thank you Tanja, very much!
Well, must admit I have jitters...so this time it's hard to find the words. But, (saved by the bell) Tanja wrote something about her home...so let's read it after the jump

zesty beach home...

OMG... I love green...every shade of green I think. When recieved newsletter from RoomRemix blog, I just could not lift my jaw up after seeing this modernist beach house.
What a gorgeous palette, don't you think? Lime green, white and brown...with dashes of hot orange... so timeless if you ask me. So prefect for every season, it has the perfect balance of warm and cold colours (even if I know Maria says colours can't be desribed as warm or cold and we should look them in a context)

This home is work of interior designer Christina Murphy

monday home tour ... Jan Eleni apartment

This Monday is dedicated to one absolutely fantastic, interesting, different and eclectic apartment...owned by New York interior decorator, Jan Eleni Lemonedes from Jan Eleni inc. Jan started her career with small used furniture shop, where she'd put anything lovable and interesting...and DIY jobs are not unusual for her...
Some people said she become famous over night...but it's not true...she worked very hard for years...and it's obvious how talented she is. I love her taste...absolutely exquisite! Enjoy the photos of  her gorgeous home...

It's not time to go inside yet...

Balcony, terrace, patio...I'm not ready to give it all up...days are sunny, warm and gorgeously windy (does that expression exists?)
September is perfect for lounging outside among flowers and big plants. As not many people can enjoy the real garden and backyard...I dedicate this post to all of you with a balcony... which can be like a small garden. With cress wriggling out of the pots ... ivy climbing the walls and a space-saving furnishings... it gives many beautiful morning or evening hours, depending on how the sun falls. Here is some inspiration...

passion finds.. log home in Spain

Inspired by autumn I decided to show you this modern,warm and cozy wooden home located in Spanish mountains. This is definitely something I want to have in my inspirational folder. Would it be nice to have a wooden home like this,even much smaller...somewhere in the mountains...spending there week or two during winter?

design style... Africa

It's not easy to talk about african interior style, because it's meshup of different cultures of Middle East, Arabian,Portugal,Spain,France and England... In center of all these cultural influences is african tribal tradition, with it's beautiful simbols and elements celebrating the Earth, animals and overall life.
I can feel the rythm in every piece made by African origins.

monday home tour..Beth Armijo's apartment

Today, we're touring the home of Beth Armijo, very talented designer and owner of Armijo Design Group, who describes her work as fresh,classic and exquisite. Beth's lovely and colourful apartment was featured in Better Homes and Gardens online magazine in a begining of 2009, when I saved it in my inspirational folder.

I love her home because it's quite feminine and sophisticated in accessories, and again masculine in some elements like concrete pole in the living room, oversized lamp or the mirror in the dining room. I don't know if she lives there alone or with a partner, but this apartment nicely shows how to implement both feminine and masculine and still having a great design.

wish I had a room like this...

do you know what pinterest is?..

Hello everybody :)
I've noticed one person stopped following me these days..can't describe how sad I am about that. It's because I'm not posting often enough. In the future,I'll try my best to find some spare time to write good posts more often.
I want to thank you for being patience and believer...hoping you know how much it means to me.

perfect home ** savršen dom No1

I apologize to you,my dearest readers and visitors, for non posting for days... :(
I have problems with my pc, and had problems with my internet connection-I was cut out for too long if you ask me. Internet connection is established now, but my pc is acting like the old man with too many health problems. It may take years before I buy a new one, although buying new pc would be cheaper than fixing problems every month. I cannont start my Illustator (and I almost can't live without it),and I can not install a new version - my pc doesn't alowe it. Same thing happend with Skype (I'm going crazy without it as my sisters live abroad and skype is the only way to keep in touch with them regularly)...
Untill I buy a new computer (wishing being able to buy The Mac), I hope you'll forgive me for periodical absence; now you know who's to blame :)

Because it's monday,it's time for house tour. I've prepared planty of materials, including a new category soon featuring home tours in my area :) Still thinking how to name the category and how often to post it. Have ideas?please share :D

DIY ... mantel but no fireplace

Do you have any spare space on the wall? I bet you do.
Well, why don't use a mantel shelf as a beautiful focal point you can redecorate every now and then? there's no reason not to...because you don't have to have a fireplace. I found you a close up of Erin's gorgeous foyer update.

how to use old drawers...

Hello my friends...
I thought you would like this idea of using drawers for other purposes beside the usual. The best part is the very low cost. For example,to make this night stand/extra storage all you need is four legs in any material, paint and if you want some drawer handles

vintage pottery plus my presents...

Almost a month ago I got a very special present from my mother-in-law. I was so thrilled,because it came so sudden and without any special reason...which makes it even greater. I felt like she read my posts about pottery and Eddie Ross's flea market finds
It is a set of vintage hundred-years-old plates carried in my husband's family. They are so beautiful, and very heavy,litterarly :)
