Last week was a bit crazy and I even didn’t have time to write about our move to Latvia, which, I need to say, went pretty smooth. Now am very busy with unpacking our stuff and ongoing house renovation, as well as trying to assist my husband with his work. The reason we moved to…
Yesterday I made a little shopping treat for myself. Walking around rails and shelves, clogged with new spring outfits, I was surprised how often I saw stripes: mainly blue & white, but also black & white. However, what is so surprising? Summer is coming, and then… Long walkings on the beach, sunbathing and adventurous yachting…
We all love spending time in our gardens, but in recent decades, the boundary between inside and outside living has become blurred, with many people building garden rooms, permanent barbecues and even outdoor kitchens. Here are some of the ways you could extend your living space and make your garden even more appealing to you…
In one of the previous posts I have already talked about using black in home decor. There I focused mainly on incorporating this colour for highlighting interesting architectural features and details.

If you belong to them, you are completely wrong, as…
Framing your windows with style and elegance does more than just enrich your home – it gives you the freedom to be as creative as you like, when you like. For people that have ever-changing styles or don’t enjoy sticking to the same look for too long, a refresh of your curtains and blinds can…
Pastels colours are humble and calming, very feminine and soft. When the spring comes we always remember about them as they remind us of tender blossoms, bright blue sky and gentle warm sun. Pastels, in fact, are all hues on the colour wheel which are maximum close to white. They allow to create a lot of…
Ceramic tiles is one of the most popular floor finishes today. Their durability, water resistance, easiness to clean and maintain, huge variety of colours and designs make them irreplaceable for kitchens and bathrooms. Suitability for other spaces in the house is reduced by cons of this material, such as coldness to touch and accident hazard….

It tends to get associated with laziness as those with wandering minds get written off as being absent-minded people who can’t get their head out of the clouds. Regardless of what others label it as though, everyone, and…
Photo wallpapers and murals were once super trendy but later on gained a reputation (somewhat undeservedly) of bad taste. Partially it was connected with their over-popularity, where very often they were used out of place. Today quality and design of modern murals put them back in demand.
