Shades of Brown and red in between

It’s been a while since I post one of my lovely color combination. For today I pick different shades of brown with a touch of red in between. Enjoy!

ADORE this room with its mix of period furniture, the iron campaign red bed and young mobile. It’s truly a dream.

This sure looks like heaven to me.

I was there: Buenos Aires, Argentina

If you haven’t been to Buenos Aires yet, you haven’t seen Europe in South America. We spent this past Christmas in Buenos Aires and we loved it so much that we’re here again with family and friends with us. We are going to spend a week between Buenos Aires and Mendoza, Argentina’s wine region. I’ve been meaning to make a decent post about our previous trip to Buenos Aires but have been caught up with other posts. For now here are a few pictures from our last visit here that will speak for themselves. image by me

Humor for your weekend

Humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Wikipedia. I choose to be silly whenever I can afford because sometimes that’s all you need to be happy. Life is composed of moments and if we fill them with lightness of heart and spirit everything looks and feels much better. It’s not always easy to do that but, it’s worth the try! I hope you have a fun and laughter-filled weekend!

Thanks for the laugh @miianinii and @daempressfifi

Best Friends

I’ve always wanted to have a boy so I feel very lucky we have one. Maybe the fact that
since very early in my life it was only my mom, my sister and myself, the presence of boys were missed in our home. If we get to have another one, secretly deep inside me I would like it to be another boy but, I can’t help to look at these images and smile imagining that it could
also be a lot of fun to have someone to play dress up with and who knows, even share clothes someday. Enjoy these beautiful summery images.

It feels so long

I’ve been away from the computer most of the week because I’ve been
running around like a chicken without head. Hopefully next week will be
an easier and less busy one. I truly wish I had a summer home like
this one to escape for the weekend or maybe forever!
I’ll come back with a regular schedule next week. Until then enjoy it!

Summer Inspiration

Summer is my favorite season of all. I grew up in a hot, hot island drinking lots of cold “morir sonando,” a mixture of milk with orange juice with chopped ice, while lying down on the cool and refreshing concrete polished floor. That same floor I used as a slide when the cleaning ladies were washing it. It was so much fun! Here’s to good memories and long summer weekends! How much I wish I had that floor again during these past super hot days. Thankfully we’ve had a few nicer, less hot days lately that have given us the chance for a breath of fresh air. The weekend however seems to be bringing along another heat wave that would make me more hungry for a vacation getaway. My hubby and I have been discussing how wonderful would be to hit the Amalfi Coast, unfortunately that seems too far from the true since we instead, need to be getting ready for our move to Sao Paulo, hopefully we’ll make to Punta Del Este for Christmas, fingers crossed! Last week I had our home professionally photographed by Robert Levin and I’m extremely happy with the result. I can’t wait to share it with you.
