Bank holidays are over here in Latvia and it feels like this long weekend was pretty short indeed. At the same time it was full of memories and emotions as we’ve spent amazing time in Tallinn and Helsinki. My camera is full of photos and hopefully, I can share some with you later this week….
Now when the renovation of our house is ready, it is time for the “favourite” part: cleaning and organising. Although there is something on this stage which I really love: styling the space. In our room we have this book case, and after all construction works it converted into a large collector of dust and…

If you haven’t heard about them too, here is a little explanation. Stabilized plants are basically natural plants, such as decorative trees and flowers,…
It’s been a while I didn’t make any DIY projects. Now with the move to Latvia I have several do-it-yourself ideas on how to make our new nest cozier. One of them was to construct a tufted headboard for our new bed: it didn’t have any and it was pretty inconvenient to sleep with pillows…
