I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike

I always enjoy bike riding, or if you prefer - cycling, but unfortunately, there is no suitable place to ride here, to be even more precise - this country is not for bikers unless you know how to drive Honda or Harley Davidson. I don't, so image my suffering - the only bicycle I can ride here is the stationary one. Ha ha ha - tons and tons of fun ..... Every time I want to go out and perform some outdoors activity I miss my hometown even more.

Re - Use

Recently, I was inspired by the post on my good friend's blog about reusing the old, vintage suitcases and I decided to look for some more ideas - I couldn't even imagine what you may create with "useless" things. For those of you who speaks Polish I recommend to visit her blog, it's a lot of fun as she is incredibly funny and witty girl. Those, who doesn't speak Polish - that's ok, I know it's too tough to learn but you can still visit the site and you will find an inspiration and lots of ideas.

I don't want to double the pictures here, but I have to post one of my favorite which I found at Terrier Design, I absolutely love that idea, look at this:

Here are some more ideas:

via Design Sponge - you can actually find the instructions how to make that table :))

So, don't get rid of any of your old luggage - reuse it :)))))

Colorful art work by Catalina Estrada

Probably you are familiar with her work, especially those of you who are reading Paulo Coelho as she is a good friend of his and she also illustrated his "Joy Diary 2009".

I used to read Paulo Coelho when I was, ekhm, 10 years younger.... Well, I'm really impressed by Catalina Estrada art work. She was born in Colombia but lives in Barcelona (soooo jealous of that fact, as I love Spain) she works for Nike, Coca Cola, Sony Music, Levis, Honda, Lexus as you can see, the list is long. The colors are mesmerizing and powerful, I just don't have enough of these illustrations. 

Here are some of my favorites:

For Paulo Coelho "Momentos 2012"

For Barcelona Mayor Festivities 2011

 Easter decoration for Target all over States in 2011

Packing for Hershey's 2011 - exclusively in Target

Barcelona's April Festival 2008

Poster campaign for Incredible India.

For more you can visit her official site.

Spring is on the way

I love spring and the feeling like everything blossoms. And somehow it's always about flowers.

I'm not really a fan of flowers, I prefer plants, but tulips make my heart pounds faster. Not sure why. Weird. Pic via Decor 8.

Let me introduce ... Rob Ryan

Unfortunately, I do not know much about Rob Ryan, enough he lives in London. Probably. Maybe. Not sure though. He is very talented person. For sure. Take a look at those paper cut artwork. Little masterpieces.

A beautiful handmade maps

First time I stumbled upon on those maps while ago, via Famille Summerbelle and I loved them from the first sight or impression, if you like. I was even eager to make one by myself but unfortunately I don't have enough talent to draw. Anyway, it turned out it's not really that easy to do, but for those who have enough patience and love paper cutting this might be a great challenge.

and the final look:

Isn't it gorgeous?

Apartment for sale

To whom it may concern:
if you have 1.795 million British Pounds in cash, or if your credibility is good enough to get such a loan, feel free to travel to London - Kesington to be exact - and see this amazing apartment. Unless you think 1,285 square feet is, let's say, too small for you.
This is a beautiful and vast top floor apartment with amazing mezzanine and reception room. I really like the area, but the interior design could be, in my opinion, more outstanding for such a potential apartment.
Take a look.
