Come to my Home for Christmas

I wanted to share with you a few images of my home for Christmas.  There is a party in every corner in this house and I can't help but share them with you. 

A part of our Master Bath.

And here is the mister.  We chose a medium size Christmas tree and put it on top of a table which I covered with an old remnant of fabric I had.   I wanted a tree that was classic but also funky at the same time; that's why you see properly installed Christmas lights but also you can see lights that are just thrown around the tree to give it a more fun, careless feel.  I love those big rounded light bulbs and the big snowflake ornaments.  To make it a bit more masculine for my guys, I added baseball-like ornaments. 

Love is all you need!

Top two images by Marco Ricca rest by me.

Eye Candy

Having lots to do.  I only have these two more than lovely images for you today.  Hoping they inspire you to make of every corner of your home a sweet and beautiful vignette.

Food for Thought or Love

 Have a romantic weekend!

Hanging in there

A pretty hectic week with not much of leisure and blogging time for me.  I leave you with these gorgeous images of carefree displays of personal belongings, collector's items or plain knickknacks.  There is always a way of making the quotidian into something beautiful.  Have an excellent day.

Green is good

Finally home after a hectic but beautiful and sunny day. All I feel like doing is enjoying a delicious green apple martini, put my feet up and enjoy the rest of the night.

I've been eying this elegant and still relatively affordable tote Cole Haan Vintage Valise Kendra Tote.

God is in the DETAILS

Fresh flowers, mirrored boxes and framed art in a powder room, all in white, black and gilded- it's always a delight to unveil. While displaying more accessories such as sketches, handsome hand written poems and artistic plates in front of a chicken-wire-like bookcase is a nod to "everything is in the details"

sorry don't remember the sources.

Perfectly displayed

The past few days have been gloriously sunny and I couldn't be happier. In the prelude of Spring all the great things seem to start happening, only waking up earlier is not such of an effort anymore, editing our home decors seem to flow naturally. It feels exactly what it is, a breath of fresh new air that won't freeze your lungs. When I think of the beginning of spring I imagine greenery and I love the use of it in the last photo; put in a collection of clear glasses and accessorized with jewelry. In the first image, however there is no greenery anywhere but the clarity of it and the stacking of the books is very fresh and young in a way. Recently I posted about how I enjoy seeing real bookcases. I have the books in my kitchen's built-in displayed with the paperback side facing back the wall so there would be more symmetry in color. Here is a sneak peek of my kitchen's bookcases if you wish to see.

Detail of the day; vignette

Like in many other aspects of design, things seem to look more appealing to me when there is continuation in color and contrast in texture. This small vignette, for example, shares aged golden tones among every one of the pieces while the painted mercury candle motive brakes with the similarity in texture which I think make the outlook interesting.

Cheers to the right people

Thomas O'Brien's stunning vignette via

Well, what a little bit of a hectic weekend this was. From unsuccessfully searching for "the right" piece of furniture I came to end my weekend weeping in front of the TV while watching Secret Millionaires. Did you guys watch it? We need more people in the world like these doing the right thing. Not everything was about learning trough unwanted experience though I also got to spend good quality time with families and friends. I hope your week is well off to a good start.

Keepsakes

via

The very best part of traveling is the memories you bring home to share with family and friends. When I go away I always try to buy something I would really love to live with for life. Timeless hallmark symbols of the cities we visit like the Eiffel tower are a great way to always remember that special trip.

Beautiful Vignettes

From fresh flowers reflecting on a burst mirror..... to skinny sculptural horses on a side table..... to African mask and textiles in a bathroom...The options to decorate small spaces are infinite, yet make such a difference.

Love color

A perfect way of living a life, surrounded by beautiful shoes displays, open fire and beautiful shades of pastel colors. It sounds like Marie Antoinette.

Christmas eye candy

As I mentioned before we're having a tree-less Christmas this year so I'm searching high and low for inspiration of little vignettes that can be easily created around the house. I'm sure many people choose to do this when they have little children running around the house. I hope these images get you inspired to have a beautiful Christmas even when not having a Christmas tree. Enjoy
