My home's renovation...

This is the season that every year I am in the mood of making some changes on my home's decoration... Especially this year, the desire for changes was more intense for me. 

So, I was planning some changes in the color of the walls, some addings in the furniture or rearranging the decoration of some spaces.

Firstly, I wanted so much to renovate my bedroom giving it a romantic accent and making it more cozy and hospitable... and then I felt that it was the right time to put some fresh air in my living room. The space where we spend many hours each day... 
I was really happy when I discovered Photowall Sweden, where I found out the perfect wallpapers for my home. 

I chose a romantic vintage floral wallpaper for the bedroom, which fits perfectly with the decoration of the room and a watercolor like wallpaper in green hues for the living room, which totally matched with the ethnic pendant lights and the rustic coffe table. 

I am so excited with the result!!! I had never put up a wallpaper before, but the video tutorial and the clear instructions helped me get the perfect result.

Red Brick Walls in the Living Room

Red brick walls add always a unique charm to modern home interiors, creating a dramatic and sophisticated result. They bring a bohemian touch into modern spaces decorated in vintage style, letting us feel like we are in a NewYork loft...

Vintage air in the kid's room

If you are a fan of vintage, why don't you try this style in your kid's room? Vintage gives always a romantic and nostalgic air in the atmosphere of a room... Just use a soft gray color as a background on the walls and add touches of pale pink, green or blue in decorative items and linens. 

I loved this room from the first sight!!! The addition of some simple and not at all expensive items, makes it the perfect vintage kid's room! A vintage map of Paris, a water color rabbit stamped cushion, some fabric handmade toys, a crochet blanket, a lovely black & white garland and some pink cherry twigs are the items which compose this amazing result...

Vintage Christmas

Do you remember those vintage handmade glass ornaments? Personally, every time I see a kind of those ornaments I remember the Christmas of my childhood... Amazing yet so fragile for a child to touch them... We still have a couple of them as a memorabilia of those years in our family house!

Plan an escape in...

 

...Nisyros, where a special house cough my eye!!! You can't but fall in love with this house by the first sight, as it excuses a warm and elegant air from the past.

It's about a 1890's residence's restoration, where the architect and owner George Koukourakis showed a great respect for its history maintaining its main characteristics. These are the original 1890 cement tile flooring which is dominant in the majority of the house's spaces, the vivid palette of colors used on the walls, the traditional wooden ceiling panelling and the wooden openings.

As far as the house's decoration there is an adorable mix of past and future. Old pendant lights are present to every room, an old console welcomes the visitor in the entrance and some meters away they are standing an elaborate stove, an antique mirror and other excellent pieces of another era. All those decorative items and furniture combined perfectly with some vintage pieces or a set of modern tulip table and chairs.

My favorite room is the lemony painted kitchen with its custom made old style cupboards in my beloved color of mint!

Dream kitchen

Ohh... yes!!! This could be the kitchen of my dreams! Bright with a floor to ceiling window that allows to the sun rays invade to the space and warm it; a long cement island in the centre, a lot of vintage dinner sets and metallic boxes that help you store the supplies, placed in the kitchen's shelves and finally, a majestic chandelier that brings the air of another era to the space! 

Crochet Love III

Ohh... This crochet throw reminds me of my grandmother's handmade crochets! It is really so beautiful and gives to the bedroom the air of another era!

Living in an old little store

Delphine Pariente, jewelry designer, decided to settle down in a nice little shop in the Marais. Vintage furniture, antique curiosities, unique pieces repurposed as tables, large letters hanging on the wall, console style Eiffel found on e-bay, Asian lanterns, theater seating, ancient sculpture stairs and floors by old handmade ceramic tiles ....

All those elements create a really beautiful home with an artistic touch!

Suitcases

Even if they are broken or missing handles, suitcases can be used for storage and why not to create a vintage decor!
