Interesting And Exciting Shabby Chic House

If you are the kind of person who just can’;t stay away from decor, this house allows you to adorn the rooms as much as you like as long as the colors are consistently white.
Chic, clean and unique, nothing about the house’;s exterior can prepare a person for the beauty they will find indoors. The house itself has been painted in white and red, thus reviving that quaint image of a house on the countryside. When one enters, they are immediately greeted with an astounding amount of natural light and the color white. The doorway allows for umbrellas to be stored, jackets to be hung, and shoes to be removed and placed in an original, stone-filled compartment. The living room floors are a glossy white, and the dining area is kept clean and inviting with light-colored decor, including an adorable star-shaped lamp that hangs above the table. The kitchen has been placed under a lowered ceiling, allowing any cook to feel secluded and in their own space. The kitchen counters here give off a wintery-feel with its cool toned hues and green wreaths, yet it manages to look just as appealing in the summer time.

There is undoubtedly some rustic pieces of furniture that keeps things animated, such as the small, wooden desk area with a mirror near the backdoor and the vintage SMEG  refrigerator of the kitchen. A type writer, found sitting on a turquoise blue desk in the living room, reflects the elegant modesty that this house possesses, while enjoying the luxury of fine decor and trinkets. The living room area, decorated with at least 4 lamps, displays a variety of eclectic things ranging from ceiling-hangings to pillows.

In essence, there is nothing that this house lacks, with its extensive use of white and delicate decor to illuminate all depths and corners. With a lovely living room and two mini-lofts and bathrooms, there is aesthetic beauty in abundance to this house that can only be matched by equal elegance and simplicity.

Craft Inspired Shabby Chic Living

I was completely delighted to find out the weblog of fabulous photographer and stylist Athena, who hails all the way from Poland! Athena is an incredibly talented lady with a excellent eye for styling! I adore this recent shoot she produced with the vintage sewing machine. The craft inspired photographs are just gorgeous.

And these vintage wooden spools with torn fabric ribbons and vintage crochet, lace ribbon,  look extremely effective on the painted wooden backdrop. I still have to generate the ‘DIY wooden backdrop’ tutorial that I saved last summer with all the really very best intentions! I guarantee! I bet Athena’s craft supplies box is totally fabulous!

This is component of the old Tilda “Sewing Bird” collection. I adore these reduce outs! They perform completely with the rest of Athena’s craft style photos.

I totally adore the pastel colours in this image! Utilizing the fabric tape and the threads collectively is a fantastic idea as they marry completely below a ‘craft’ theme. You can find my favourite washi tapes on my etsy pages.

I completely adore crochet hearts, they appear excellent as present tags, hanging decorations, or string lots with each other to generate an adorable garland! They can be excellent for any time of the year based on the colours of your lovely hearts. I am also rather enamoured with that “Homemade” mounted, rubber stamp. It appears absolutely marvellous! You could use that to stamp on anything fabric, ribbons, tags, attach it to handmade quilts by employing it to stamp on some woven/twill ribbon. Lots of craft concepts!

I saw this image and was blown away if I’m truthful. I love meals photography and I have nothing at all but admiration for individuals who can style food photography set ups so nicely! I can’t do it for tuppence. At all. I also enjoy figs. ^_^

All of these flowers are just lovely! As mentioned not too long ago, I’m a enormous fan of hydrangeas but the mixture of the different flowers and colours appears great in this photo.

I have a sneaking suspicion that these glass storage boxes are by Lisbeth Dahl! I’ve always wanted these beautiful boxes but I’ve in no way had any notion of what I could retailer in them that would be lovely enough. Athena has had a fantastic idea with spools, ribbons and sea shells!

Are these muscari? I enjoy the massive pot that these are planted in! I really am receiving very excited about spring. Do muscari smell very strong? I have rather sensitive smell and as stunning as Hyacinths are, they’re rather potent and almost make me cross eyed when I stroll in the room so I’m trying to discover some beautiful, option spring blooms to fill my house with this season!

I had to contain the patchwork quilt! I have a feeling that Athena is rather like me, who loves to craft and has attempted them all ^_^ Though Athena is a lot much more talented in the styling division.

I attempted my really initial pomegranate 2 years ago and it was the one and only time! hah! They have been a lil bitter for my face! I am crazy about the shape, the texture and the colour and they’re FABULOUS to draw! I definitely really like them, if only they weren’t so tart. I am crazy about the white ceramic spoon. Doesn’t it look gorgeous?!

Athena’s residence is absolutely spectacular and shabby chic in style. These paper backed books are my favourite aspect of the residence as it ties every thing in beautifully!

This lamp is just gorgeous! Where would I uncover one like this?! Go to the ever so talented Athena more than at her weblog Drewniana Szpulka (Wooden Spool) a fantastic name for a weblog!

Romantic Shabby Living From Finland

For these days’s post, we are fortunate to travel all the way to Finland to see about the most lovely house, full of romantic, shabby chic small things and lots of pink! The blog ‘Maalaisunelmaa’ belongs to Johanna and she shares the most lovely images from her house over there. (Linked beneath)

Do you see what I imply?! You all know by now that I am obsessed with Greengate! So of course I would be including the contents of Johannas fabulous dining dresser filled with Greengate latte cups, tea cups, mugs and most of the stoneware truly! I’m very jealous of this collection. I also truly like this huge dresser unit with the cupboards beneath.

This is a wonderful view of all the greengate goodies that Johanna owns. I like all the red and white (these are my christmas colours) and I do truly own a handful of of these pieces myself also. I’m slightly in awe of the amount of greengate latte cups in this image, they’re not specifically low cost are they! What a lucky lady ^_^

Not only is Johanna’s greengate collection rather impressive, but she has the most fantastic outside shed/greenhouse that is completely flooded with natural light and it has the most gorgeous aqua coloured door! I would live in that small shed if I could.

These are beautiful! Are they muscari? In a little bundt pan? That is a extremely good idea! Do bulbs not need  any drainage then if they can sit in water? I must create a little reminder to go and analysis that! I’m getting very excited about spring at the moment so you are in for some much more posts filled with flowers and questions.

I definitely adore hydrangeas, I consider they may be some of my favourite flowers although my favourites list tends to go on rotation! I also love a Tilda tin so I was pleased as punch to see the hydrangeas becoming displayed in such a beautiful tin. Those doughnuts appear rather delicious also. I keep in mind eating the jam filled ones when I was younger and just getting covered in sugar and jam. A big sticky, delicious mess. Ok, now I’m hungry!

Johanna’s small girl is also very, quite lucky and most undoubtedly a princess! Not only does she obtain a princess themed birthday celebration but she also has a princess themed bedroom

The light around the mirror is absolutely beautiful and I am really in adore with the pink, gingham wallpaper!

The bed is ideal for a tiny princess and of course, a canopy is necessary!

There is also some rather fabulous pink storage in that area that is just perfection for a tiny girl!

This outside setting created me extremely happy indeed. It just reminded me of spring and summer, I don’t know why though since we never ever get climate like this in the UK, ever! Perhaps a couple of days final summer season had been great but it absolutely didn’t last very lengthy. The canopy above this outside dining set is just fabulous. And appear at that hat!

Remember when I mentioned my favourite flowers had been on rotation? Yeah.. with peonies and ranunculus  (and lilacs)! I believe I want to develop a giant rose garden with a small section off to the side for hydrangeas and lilacs. Lots and lots of them! These strawberries look delicious, I don’t consume cheesecake but the strawberries and beautiful fluffy peonies got me with that image.

To finish with, I had to share this image with you. I was rather impressed with the wicker framed chalk board as I have in no way seen one of them before! I also actually liked the orchid ^_^ and the ’51′ spray painted onto the wicker basket. I might select a number and begin painting it on every little thing. I’ve noticed so numerous excellent number themed products recently for interiors (is that a trend I have missed) either way, I like it!
