Sunday Morning Tales

Last Sunday of the year today... and the only I would like to have, is a couple of days to spend them with my man snuggled up in a cabin, where all we do is walking in the snowy forest, making makeshift ice candle holders, reading, listening to the music and relaxing by the warmth of the fireplace, drinking a cup of hot chocolate or eating a delicious piece of chocolate whiskey cake...

Fall decoration with white pumpkins

Happy November to all...! The cold here is chilly enough and those days I am in the process of making closets and general housekeeping of my home in order to spread the carpets... All this project has a great delay due to my endless working hours. My plans for  this year fall decoration was to use my beloved white pumpkins in order to create cozy fall nooks everywhere in my home... Here, you can find a few cute ways to give an alternative fall accent in your homes!

Lanterns

Lanterns are the favourites accessories for our houses' summer decoration, as they constitute the essential ingredient for a romantic summer night under the candle light... Try to gather together a numerous of different in size & style lanterns and just enjoy the result. It will be at least dreamy.... Another idea, it would be to hang them from the ceiling, the pergola or the branches' of a tree in your garden!

Alternative home office

In order to have a home office plenty of natural light, plus to enjoy an amazing view of her garden while working, Amalie from the Svenngarden decided to make some rearrangement in her living room. She placed the bench of her dinning table in front of a large window, transformed it into a working station... As its height wasn't proper for a desk, she chose a moroccan leather pouf for seat. Enriching the space with plants and succulents she achieved to create a natural continue of the exterior, inside the home. 

I like so much the ethnic touches she added to the space...

Glimmering houses

They are tiny & they can constitute a unique decorative for our homes, especially during Christmas! Everyone who loves lanterns & candlelight, will adore them from the first sight... Those little houses made from porcelain, clay, glass or metal, impress with their glimmering light and the shadows casted from the tea lights inside them, offering a unique atmosphere, comfort and warmth in our homes during the cold days of winter.

30 Christmas Greeneries for your Home

The main color of Christmas is the green one, as it remind us the christmas tree and all the branches of fir, pine or thuja, we use for our homes' Christmas decorations every year... They are forming the ideal basis for any season's decor where we can create hundreds of different combinations and they are so easy to find them everywhere!

Outdoor Lounging Area

Create atmospheric outdoor lounging areas in order to enjoy your summer evenings & nights as best as you can... I really adored the splash of yellow (used in pillows, numerous candles and sunflowers), the extra cozy built-in sofa, the enormous coffee table constructed of old beams and of course the original handmade chandelier by paper pulp!!!

DIY: Torch Bottles

For years I used to collect old liquor bottles, as many of them have such a unique design and color that it was too hard for me to part with them... I love to use them as candle holders or to store on them my handmade liquors, juices & flavored olive oil with mediterranean herbs. I use to make every year my own limoncello, lemonade & flavor virgin olive oil from our family olive groves with fresh cut herbs from my mini balcony garden. 

Today, I discovered a new inspired way to repurpose my empty liquor bottles... I am so enthusiastic with the idea of turning them to torch bottles! I find it such a lovely decorative item for our balconies which will accompanies our Spring and Summer warm nights... You can find a how to do it tutorial on Sugar & Charm. Try it, it's so easy!!!

Sunroom

The best room to spend your free time during Spring months, when nature is in its best time of the year and our body enjoy the warmth of sunrays after a really cold Winter... I love so much the yellow fabric of the sofa and the high candelabra which would be perfect in my living room too!!!

Sunday Morning Tales

An amazing winter home at Pelion mountain, totally constructed by stone and wood with a breathtaking view. I loved its every little corner by first sight and I wished be there this Sunday cocooning near the fireplace and drinking hot chocolate!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday whatever you do.... :)

Black & White Living Room

A bright and fresh living room.... I like the use of white color as a canvas with a touch of black in some furniture and decorative items. You are blessed if you have a living room with such a big window which allows the sun to fill the space with its warmth and light. 

Then, with simple furniture, a lot of inspiration and some accessories you can transform the room to a wonderful living room. A cozy white sofa with an ottoman is ideal for relaxing after a hard day, a simple black rustic coffee table with a tray on it, full of aromatic candles and a vase with fresh flowers to create a romantic atmosphere, a handmade wool stripped kelim to keep you warm and a black & white  "LOVE" pillow to remind you that love is everything in our life!!! :)
