Ethinic Prints-A must have for your home....

Rusic & Elegance...

Monday's are lovely to remind, what makes us happy, so we can keep that happiness and carry it through out the entire week.
What makes me happy, are something serene, simple yet elegant. Like theses wicket baskets. So simple, but the colour silver gives it that elegance. Not only is it useful as a storage, but it looks beautiful, and could be carried to your next grocery shopping, and you would look so fabulous !
Have an elegant week...

Hotel in Greece, San Giorgio...

This hotel has all the elements of a bohemian home...The lamps, mirrors, baskets, rug all resembles to the one in Morocco...The Mediterranian lifestyle, that's pure bliss, that's what we all want. It's not money, but how you live your life that counts x

Italia Ponza, A Summer Home...

As we've entered June, we're getting into the Summer mood. Every week, I'll take you to one of the coolest summer houses from the world x join me! This house is located in the fabulous island of Ponza in Italy. My favorite is the white cave-like plastered walls. It makes me feel cool...x

Something Purple..

I love the light clean colour of light purple...it give a beautiful tone and variation to your decor without dominating. It's discreet and comfy.
Why not wear a relaxing caftan this weekend and have a summery brunch at home with your loved ones? Or simply invite your friends over for a real nice chill out.
Hope you have an inspiring week ahead!

Ethnical Textiles...

Combining a pure colour like white and ethnical textiles, is like a beginning of a beautiful story. They both substitute for the other and create a dynamic balance. The white purifies the complicated bright colours of the ethnical design, and the ethnical colours bring drama into a plain white background...like life, everything is balance, and there is heaven there...
