Beautiful pictures to start the week

Hello, Friends, 

May your week be beautiful, full of grace and the fragrance of Spring.

 Here is what's inspiring me this week

What would Spring be without flowers?

What woulf life be without good friends?

Springtime, dining al fresco

revamped, thanks to Ikea

(hey, I'll be there tomorrow!)

Do you feel like redecorating, even a little bit?

I feel so inspired by the mix of this black and white rug and those floral curtains.

Look how cleverly the colour black is picked off of the curtains!

Do you feel those green fingers itching?

I shall be looking for those potted herbs!

And I'm sure you'll be inspired by the colours of this bohemian home, that is full of attitude!

Psst! It comes with a downtown creative studio for two!

I hope your week is brilliant!

In love with an IKEA desk

I know that quite alot of people feel self-conscious about shopping at Ikea. 

Sometimes I may feel so, myself.

Particularly when we used to own a shop, I crossed once or twice customers in a nearby town Ikea shop and people would look at me in desbilief: Why would I ever want to purchase something :low line: if I could have great design, real wood and all natural materials in my own shop?

Truth is, Ikea has achieved something which obviously accounts for much of the company's success.

Their products have a style for sure, that is affordable. 

Most of their products are pretty durable.

And they make me happy.

Their shops make alot of people happy, too.

Which is a good thing. 

I 

had a look at 

their new PS Collection.

I looove this desk!

...Great "bones"...

Look how it fits in every corner

makes you feel you have enough space for a desk.

Do you like shopping at Ikea?

IKEA 2014- my picks

 

The 2014 IKEA catalogue will be distributed in Greece starting August 28. However, the Swedish and English versions are on-line.

 

 

This is so fun!

Simple and fun.

 

 

This is my favorite room of the catalogue. I love the roomy sofa,its velvety green, the books, ah, of course, and that armchair could certainly find its place in my house! Don't you just love greens in front of the window?

 

 

I like the fireplace nook defined by rugs and the two cushy chairs.

I have this pendant light in our House in the North and I'm considering bringing them over here.

 

 

This room is styled so chic! Worthy of a Carrie walk in closet!

 

 

Dilemas ... I love both these styles. Which one to pick?

 

 

I like this modern flowery rug.

 

 

The yellow rug is so stylish, too.

 

 

All three styles are my cup of tea.

 

Have you received your catalogue, yet?

Inspired by denim

Cobalt blue is the colour to have around you this summer, whether in clothes or home decorations.

It is the colour of deep spirituality that helps you focus.

Try indigo and ultramarine, and feel regenerated.

First day of the week

A warm, heartfelt "Hello" to all of you my friends.

At this beginning of the week let us raise our eyes to the sky, let us take in the beauty that surounds us in every step.

The world is our palace, and every flower was made for us, every trea is heavy with fruit for us.

Let us breathe in the beauty.

Missed me?

Hi there, friends. It's been a while... 

Oh how many things, ups and downs and ups and worries and then some quiet.

 I have been working in the garden

  

  

and doing much needed housework 

 

  

making dreams of holidays by the sea

   

and time spent under the shade

 

 sipping, breathing, praying for dreams come true

 

and oh finally, new beginnings.

I hope your days are full of joy and sunshine.
