Month: March 2011


Talking about living with what you love, or in another words, embrace what you have and make the best of it; I found this kitchen by T. Keller Denovan. Here Denovan didn’t change the white stove, something that most of the people don’t want, instead he diminished it by painting the walls in dark blue and make the end wall a focal point by displaying his big collection of blue Italian china and wicker baskets. A lovely friend of mine is always scared of glossy wall paints and I always say “flat paints are for warehouses, walls don’t need to be perfect, really”. As you can see Keller seems to think the same way.

P.S. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me the source of the fabric on the chair? Thank you.

Sometimes it’s not about the brand, the exclusive store it’s been bought or how expensive it was, at the end it’s all about creativity and making something simple work and look like a million bucks.

A heavenly ceiling, tall cabinets that make the tiny space look bigger, brass-looking glam-to-die-for back splash and slick looking cabinets; this kitchen for sure will make us want to cook elaborate and sumptuous meals every single night.

Finally home after a hectic but beautiful and sunny day. All I feel like doing is enjoying a delicious green apple martini, put my feet up and enjoy the rest of the night.

I’ve been eying this elegant and still relatively affordable tote Cole Haan Vintage Valise Kendra Tote.
 

It’s officially Spring, yeah!!! and although I’ve been longing for the
sunny and warmer days to lighten up with softer and thinner fabric
clothes while enjoying the smell of Daffodils which will soon be
everywhere, it seems like nature has different plans, at least for
today. It looks more like a rainy Fall day out of my window. So until
Spring feels and look more like Spring here are beautiful and elegant
images of a home designed by Luisa Olazabal
where the muted palette throughout the house with its little displays
of flowers and greenery in every room feel like Spring is arriving
slowly. I have to warn you though, if going into Luisa’s website get ready to stay there a long time, not only the images w

Below, a few images of Luisa Olazabal’s serene and inspiring studio.

Let our prayers and thoughts be with Japan and its people. I hope your weekend is full of love and peace.
