Unique decoration - ladder

I have one special memoir of my grandpa' old cottage situated among tall wild flowers and pine trees in a village. I remember the wooden ladder leans against the hen house. No one used it anymore, it was really old and banded by the rain water. I actually tried to avoid empty hen house and the ladder, because it became a natural environment for all small animals esp. spiders and their webs, which I really hate. Since then, over .... years passed and I still hate spiders but I found myself a fan of a ladders. Pity, but here it's really difficult to find something special or unique enough to use it as a decoration. There is a flea market next Friday, maybe I'll try there. I just want to see my husband's face when I tell him - will you get me a ladder? The older, the better....

Their place

The very first thought come to my mind when I think about Spain is food. I love Spanish cuisine. I used to work in Spanish restaurant in Chicago (1492 Tapas Bar but it seems like it's closed recently) and I could eat patatas bravas, grilled gambas and pojo and drink sangria all the time, I had never enough. I also had a feeling that Spanish people live to eat, drink, talk, gather and have fun, they are always happy and cheerful. And that was really refreshing. Lately I found myself inspired by these pictures from the apartment in Madrid - it's crazy, colorful, playful, bright and encouraging. White is no more boring if you add some colors esp. like yellow and blue. Enjoy!

I love that huge case under the wooden seat and a little yellow helicopter :)

That's great idea to put some empty frames - as long as the frames look like piece of art by themselves - and that massive mirror by the wall.

Hanging candelabra in a restroom? Looks just perfect. Btw, I used to put pictures in restroom too, but eventually steam damaged the paper and it looked awful.

All pictures found at Freshome.

Picture of the Week

The Doors

According to Symbolism, doors, gates and thresholds are symbolic entrances into new worlds. It might represent communication between one world and another world, or might mean an entrance into a new life. It is a passage from one realm to another. From my perspective, a closed doors hold the secret behind them. I like the thrill just when you are about to open the door. You don't know what to expect unless it's a door to your own apt.

Spinning

As the weather today is just awful and I'm like "blaaah", sitting with my coffee and headache, trying to focus on anything and feel like my whole world is just spinning, which probably means I'm getting a cold. I'm dizzy and feel like someone put me on a carousel. Btw, I love carousels.

Let's hang out in a kitchen

I used to have cozy kitchen. I prefer word "cozy" instead of "tiny" or "small" or "extra small". You know why? Because everything is up to your attitude towards it. So if you say, your kitchen is small it seems like you are complaining about it and it's understandable. But if you rather say - my kitchen is cozy, it makes your kitchen look different in your own eyes. I swear. Try that. You will feel much better about any small space you have. So don't worry if you feel stuck in tiny area - you can still arrange it in a interesting way. Here are some inspirations I found yesterday on Apartment Therapy.

Her place

Long, long time ago I stumbled upon pictures of the house of Swedish interior designer - Marie Olsson Nylander. What just has appeared in front of my eyes was simply stunning. This is the exactly the house I would just move in, if I only had a chance. I wouldn't change a single thing in it. I love the interiors - it's rustic, charming, warm and cozy but also have a character, a story. I am like "please, please let me stay here forever, please!". Well, it's pathetic to beg, but for that house I would do even that :)
