Let's talk about rugs

There is nothing better for your home's decoration than the addition of a handmade rug... Even if your home is decorated according industrial design, country chic or modern style, don't be affraid to mix it with a subtle yet sophisticated version of a traditional handmade rug! It will definitely help to create a unique space... 

Here everything is for sale!

Many hotels allow you to buy the bathrobes, but how you feel when you hear that everything in this hotel is for sale? The only thing you cannot buy here is the building itself!!!

So, if you 'll go to Items B&B in Belgium and you are madly in love with an original furniture from the 50's or 80's signed by Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen or Charles and Ray Eames, you have the opportunity to buy them. It's a brilliant idea!!! Each time you will visit this hotel, nothing will reminds you, your previous visit, as everything will be different...

Living in the Attic

One of my dreams is to have a home with an attic in order to make there my bedroom.... I feel that is the most beautiful room of the house and if you are lucky enough to have a large attic, you can organize there a lovely living room full of sun light and gifted with a beautiful view! 

I loved immediately the living room of the first picture as it looked so cozy to me. I found pretty neat the combination of cement and warm materials such as sheep skins, fluffy pillows, and the tree stump coffee table. 

I was also mad about the glass roof of the third picture living room. It is so bright and you can exploit the sunlight throughout the day. Look at the detail of the hand painted contour rug!

Finally, I could stay a lot of hours in the couch of the fourth, totally white attic gazing at that breathtaking sea view!!! Love also the detail of the hand made kelim and the wooden rough coffee table.

Winery Guest House

In the Hourglass vineyards in the Napa Valley, an old farmhouse oh the 1850's has been preserved by the owners in a very "gently" way. The interior of the house (both walls and floor) has been painted totally in white, helping it to be extremely bright. The decoration is as simple as a house in the countryside needs to be, mixing a lot of handcrafted pieces, with thrifty-shop finds and a lot of old furniture that was in the garage of the owners for ages!

I like the wood paneled walls of the living room and the dining (pictures 4 & 5), the stripped black & white rugs (pictures 4 & 5), the tolix chairs (picture 5), the bench in the master bedroom covered with the colorful strip rug (picture 6), the sheepskin throw and the rustic grainsack pillow which ornate the wrought-iron bed (picture 7) and finally the glass vases foul of hydrangeas in almost every room of the house.

Earthy Colors

It is the right time to welcome autumn creating a warmer atmosphere in our homes, as the temperature day by day be reduced and we are spending much more time inside. A good choice is to add some big chunky pillows in your couch, as they are so warm and comfortable and put also some light rugs in the floor. The ideal colors of the accessories are the earthy tones which fit each other, creating a calm fall atmosphere.

I find great idea to mix and overlap different sizes of rugs and I like also the glass vases of different style and sizes, foul of twigs and veg from the garden.
