DO!TS magazine ... DO!TS časopis

Amongst loads of online magazines I longed for a regional one, because there is so much to be said and shown. My wish came true right on my birthday yesterday, when I discovered DO!TS - magazine about handmade crafts. Authors of this fabulous magazine are two incredible creative ladies, Ivona and Marina who love all sorts of dots. Don't hesitate to flip through all the amazing tutorials and creative ideas...I've already made some of them

StylishSmall ... Hilda Grahnat's home

Hello everybody! Very interesting, thrifty, vintage, cozy apartment was featured on Apartment therapy recently. Hilda Grahnat is a freelance photographer, graphic designer and flea market addict as she explains on her blog. I find her apartment very cozy, interesting and creative.

glimpse into Tia Zoldan's unique home

A few days ago, 01.February to be precise,  High Gloss is launched – a wonderful new online lifestyle magazine with loads style inspiration plus plenty decor inspiration and gorgeous home tours as well…My favorite is the home of LA based designer Tia Zoldan.  Paloma Contreras from La Dolce Vita said Tia's home is "eclectic yet approachable, beautiful without pretention...a study in layers. Her home harmonizes modern with traditional, old with new, bright pinks with neutral grays and blacks". That been read, you should know my heart skipped a beat after seeing this home tour. here's a glimpse into it

*look out for more in the magazine High Gloss

High Gloss is the brainchild of famous blogger Paloma Contreras from La Dolce Vita who teamed up with an talented group of bloggers including Erin Gates of Elements of Style, Kyle Knight of Knight Moves, Shannon Wollack of Life. Style and Ashley Steen of Orchard 11 whom I love to follow.

geninne's fab studio

Well, this is what I call a good art studio

Good idea for storing pens, brushes and other artistic goods are jars, cups or ceramic pots, all nicely arranged in a tray.

I LOVE calligraphy block on the wall. Words and letters SO inspire me!

  

Color of the wooden furniture is beautiful. So retro, yet modern. Goes well with so many different styles. And look at those inspiration boards!

balkan breeze...scandinavian breeze

It is time for new balkan breeze post...and this time we're visiting fabulously stylish and fresh apartment of Kristina Duran, interior designer from Zagreb, Croatia. She worked for years as creative director of Croatian interior magazine moja4zida, where she wrote with passion about design. Now Kristina and her friend and coworker Natasa Somek started with Miss Decor studio, making this world a prettier place to live in.
And without further ado...

name and location: Kristina Duran, Zagreb, Croatia
square meters: 68
my style: Scandinavian, with lots of white and with interesting details inspiration: homes and apartments I find through blogs, simple vintage details, flea markets, French windows, past times...
favorite element: I'm crazy about crystal chandeliers and candlesticks, I have lots of them and my friends are kidding me that in the past life I lived in a palace. Besides that, I love my bedroom. Although it's small, I think it's SO sweet and romantic. biggest challenge: being mom and doing what I love. and taking my dog for a walk ha ha what friend say: as I mentioned, my closest friends think I got lost in  time, for a few decades...that I am born in a wrong time period as I love vintage things. That's how I decorated my home, which also has a classy but dreamy touch. I respect minimalism but it's not my style.decorating advice: You'll never go wrong with white. Beside it's beautiful, it is easy to combine it with other colors plus it makes the space seem bigger. With two kids and a dog, I can tell you from my experience  it's not difficult to keep white space clean. Of course, you should find a sofa with removable/washable cover, but it's not a problem at all to keep white floor clean.

Don't you just LOVE Kristina's apartment? It looks like scandinavian/french combination to me...and I ADORE it! Kristina lives there with her husband, two kids and adorable little dog named Gitica (as you've noticed, Gitica is quite a model).

Oh, I forgot to tell you...Kristina also blogs...her blog Miss Decor is one of my favorites. So, if you need a Scandinavian, French, romantic, dreamy INSPIRATION, you go check it out.

I know you enjoyed this tour...

until next balkan breeze

Easy peasy DIY idea…

Here’s one late night post… The 45 week of this year is ahead of us, which means we’re so close to Holidays, yipeee. It’s never too early to start decorating for Holidays, do you agree?
So, this time I want to show you beautiful, romantic yet so easy decor idea of my friend Lenka, who writes Krpice i Konci blog. Lenka is multitalented and full of inspiration. I wrote about her  here and here.

passion finds.. good mood factory

Hello my friends. It’s unusually hot and sunny day here in Herceg Novi for this time of year. The sea looks like someone poured hundred of brilliants on its surface, the view is magical let me tell ya.
The little one is asleep, so I have time for a post. While flipping through DECO my place, an unlimited source of inspiration from real homes…one album caught my attention. To be honest, it’s not the best ever, or unbelievably different, but it is warm, cozy, colorful and passionate.

I found this rustic beauty on Ognjište, Croatian interior design blog... with very few words, but gorgeous photos and inspiration. Ognjište means inglenook, which perfectly describes the photos you can find visiting this blog. Enjoy this tour, I bet it will make you breathless...and don't forget to hop on Ognjište

Light and lovely apartment

passion finds..youngster's rooms

While surfing the net, I bumped into Designing blog full of great interior renderings made by Sergi Mengot, interior designer from Barcelona.
I like his sense of functionality, especially when comes to designing kids rooms. Every inch of space is well used, combining everything a child needs in his room - place to sleep and rest, place for studing and of course place for playing and creativity.

passion finds..Oliver furniture

I just discovered beautiful furniture at one of my top favorite blogs - Stylizimo, which you must check out immediately...Nina has a beautiful styled blog, inspirative and great reads, and above all - fabulous photos.

When I saw her post about Oliver furniture, I fell inlove head over heels...and said to myself...Millie,you must feature this on your blog so you can never forget about it.. I would write you more about it but I'm overwhelmed by emotions, please forgive me

Please folks, laid back in your comfy chair and enjoy this gorgeous pieces, I won't talk (I mean write) at all :)

btw..I'm starting to like black furniture....what about you?

what a stylish nursery...

My son is growing so fast...almost 2 years already. we still share the room, but soon my hubby and I would have to pack our bags, and find another solution. most likely, it will be sofa in the living room, because I don't think we will have the money to make the best solution. sofa's waiting for us for a long time now :)

it was difficult to decorate the room not to be too adult or too childish. i tryed to find some ideas how to make the two styles to work,but at the end, I just left it as it was at the beggining. my hubby loves every shade of blue..since i'm married, i start to like some shades of blue too.. teal,duckegg,navy blue. blue-gray and blue-green are my favorite combinations. with punches of warm colors, like deep orange, and some dark brown- beautiful.

here comes the point
my daily blog inspiration is one-of-a-kind making it lovely where i love to read her honor roll. this time it lead me to design sponge (of course,known from before) and with two cats, totally-new-for-me-but-so-lovely blog which i fell in love right away. what cought my eye is that Lauren from with two cats made the prettiest nursery I've seen. white as a neutral, light furniture, cool blue-gray wall for calming effect, and punches of orange,warm yellow, reddish make this room outstanding.

maybe you ask yourself why I'm so overjoyed about this room...please, take a look for yourself

i would love to upholster my living room sectional in this fabric

i crave for window benches




my husband and i love this color, we're soon painting our multitasking room in this shade...and i was thinking about similar painted tree over our headboard,because we need a focal point. i think it would be perfect. i already have pure white curtains (yes,everybody should start with curtains when decorating :D ),and i can't wait to do the rest. what's keeping us? rain! countles days of raining! did anyone said it's spring?

 

home tour Made by Girl..

passion finds.. color stripes...

Boje su svuda oko nas, mame nas, inspirišu, izazivaju i negativne reakcije (ne u mom slučaju..) ali kako izabrati paletu koja nama odgovara?...i uvjek se postavlja dodatno pitanje,da li možemo stvoriti paletu prijatnu za oko od boja koje su nam omiljene..Boje koje oblačim, uopšte ne volim u svom ambijentu, i obrnuto. Da imam office, tamo bih koristila skroz treću paletu,prateći opet emocije.
Oko sebe primjećujem u razgovoru ljude koji se ograničavaju na samo par boja, i to je u redu, to njih opisuje. Trenutno radim na uređenju otvorenog prostora - 3 u 1 - kuhinja/trpezarija/dnevni boravak, a klijenti su prilično uplašeni,smatrajući da sve mora biti u dvije boje..bez nijansiranja..ajoj,ne! Sučeljavajući dva kolaža - u dvije boje i drugi u 5 boja, mogu reći da ih je ipak opčinila bogatija paleta. Otkrili su nešto što nisu znali da imaju u sebi. Takođe,mislili su da vole klasično stilski opremljen stan...kad ono rezultat je više kombinacija modernog sa rustičnim..ali o tome drugi put...
Za sebe i druge sama stvaram palete boja,ali pronašla sam sada Kris's color stripes blog, gdje talentovana Kristina obožava boje i pravi gotove palete inspirisana detaljima iz prirode i svoje svakodnevice... Na blogu možete vidjeti mnoštvo njenih radova, predstavljanje knjiga, vintage predmete i predjele od kojih zastaje dah..

nakit koji me pomjera iz mjesta.. :)

Jeste, ovaj blog je posvećen dekoru doma, ali želim posvetiti bar jedan članak stvaraocima onog čarobnog dekora koji sve mi žene volimo da nosimo. Pratim nekolicinu blogerica koje imaju zlatne ruke, koje oblikuju divan nakit od raznih materijala.. Ovim putem im želim pokazati moje divljenje i odati priznanje za kreativnost i rad.
redosled je u potpunosti nasumičan i moram priznati teško mi je bilo odlučiti se koje fotke postaviti.
