BEAUTIFUL INTERIORS

I hope you are having a lovely start of the year. A new beginning seems to many of us, as the perfect opportunity for transformation. Whether we decide to go for a brand new look or make changes around the house; every bit of it brings about, the possibility for beauty.

USING DARKER TONES, CONTRASTED WITH LIGHTER DETAILS:
 
I find darker interiors elegant and mysterious; yet, they would be rather dull and somber without touches of light and brightness. A touch of white, gold and lighter wood tones bring the perfect balance and harmony to any room. Also worthy of mention, is the amount of light that pours in through each window during the day, as well as the right lighting fixtures to create the proper effect during night hours.

BRINGING MORE LIGHT INTO OUR OWN LIVES:

The above theory can be applied all the same with our interior life. We can add positive light to who we are and who we become, in order to bring harmony to ourselves and others around us. For a little reflection on this, you can stop by right here.

Have a lovely week!

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: CARTA INC

Recently I came across the delightful items featured in Carta, Inc. Owner Angela Liguori has curates beautiful ribbon, and vintage postage stamps and glassine envelopes. I fell in love with the Italian tight weave spools and I can't wait to place an order. Interestingly enough, I bought a bag of vintage stamps a while ago through a stationary purveyor, but I never visited the actual source, so I was delighted by this little find.

THE FINE PRINT

Fall inevitably calls for richer textures and I am pleased by the sight of beautiful print flats such as the ones here and here. Animal print is widely seen, both in fashion and interiors; however, it can fall between classic and extravagant and indeed I always strive for the first.

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: KONTOR KONTUR

Not too long ago while organizing a closet, I found a little pouch with random items of a single color, and I was taken back to my adolescent years, when I would collect and group objects with similar hues. For some reason I found this very delightful, and running into the color grouping project by Kontor Kontur reminds me very much of this old practice of mine.

I love all of the color groupings as they each evoke a different mood and inspiration; however, I find myself drawn to the beige and brown hues; which translates very well into my current style/preference.

I found a similar color coding project done for Warby Parker and their summer crystal collection.

CURRENT INSPIRATION: NYFW

Somehow, this image transports me to an iconic New York City and the sophistication of Fashion Week. I find the color combination currently inspiring....

REFRESHED

I have missed this little space, but I am glad to be back just in time to wave summer days goodbye and welcome a new season. I am deeply grateful for the last couple of months as I had the opportunity to spend time with wonderful and inspiring people, as well as visiting places that have brought a new sense of self, and a good dose of femininity and creativity.

I hope your summer was just as beautiful!
