Feel like vintage eclectic???

Lately I've been so busy working on some of my goals this month, that I barely updated in here... Yet when everything will be done i am sure I'll be satisfy with what I did:)
But patience is a virtue.. and so is hard working:)
Anyway, no matter how busy i am and such, i always relax by checking out pretty houses and the story behind them. This week I've been looking over Jessica and Erik's San Francisco Bungalow that was featured in Apartment Therapy. It gives me such a breezy felling and the clean, vintage look doesn't seem like too perfect out there. Here is just a peek into their home, but if you want to know their full story go here

The kitchen looks so clean yet not-to-in-the-box...





I love those pans hanging down the ceiling... it's something that i think i will never be able to pull out..yet these guys did it with grace

Their attic studio is such an amazing place to create and relax in the same time



Their living room gives you such a cozy feeling ..yet the few antiques keep the vintage fresh



The mirror frame had me at hello



Those white floors in the guest bedroom makes me tingle inside

Oh i would so move in their home for a couple of weeks or such..just to recharge batteries and enjoy the clean vintage feeling of their San Francisco Bungalow. Great job you guys! You have an amazing home!
And again if you want to check on more pics from their beautiful place or find out their inspiration sources, go to AP and drool all you want:)

Now feel like a little vintage already???

First Peek

OK guys I'll keep it short today 'cause my head hurts really bad and my thoughts are literally spinning around in my head.

So as i said, this vacation(it was more like a 5-days-off)we managed to give some facelifts to our home....rearranging things, re-use others and even buy one or two things here and there

Anyway, today i decided to give you a sneak peek over one corner of our home. Any guess?? However,it's not completely done..we're half way there..but there you go... and I'll reveal more these days..



It is said that these kind of stuff make people curious...i doubt it and i even make a bet with myself that I'll have the same amount of readers tomorrow as today and any other day for that matter(that is sadly 0-2:P)
Pweetty pweease prove me wrong!
Happy Thursday Everyone!

Pyrex Love <3

Lately I've been looking for so many kitchen related things that i start believing that I've become too domestic or so:P No worries.. I'll still keep part of my rebel personality at top as i still refuse to wash dishes by hand everyday..most likely once in 2-3 days..or until my sweet husband endures to help me with drying them after(yeah it's a whole process with washing the dishes down here .. actually it's because of the chalk-stone in the water that you don't afford to just wash the dishes.. and you must dry them out immediately after you washed them ,with some towels of a sort, so the dishes won't remain stained...and no, we do not own a dish-washer ... ohhhh how i hate drying each and every single tiny item i wash:P...)
*washing fairy, please don't forget me with a dish-washing machine anytime soon!!!*

However this post doesn't relate necessary to the washing part but more likely to the dishes part. Long story short.. i again felt in love with another 'miracle' i find everyday.. today is all about Pyrex love. For those of you who don't know what Pyrex is, go check Wikipedia and you'll find out just like that:)

I love their patterns on the dishes and they are so freaking hot looking that I'd so want some displayed on my inside-of-the-kitchen-bar.. *ohhh so dreamy*

And now.. TAAAA-freaking-DAAAAAAAA.. here are the fab' ones on the catwalk:

Tell me they are not just gorge'...ohhhh how i wish Easter Bunny or Spring Chicken or Dishes Fairy hear me now....

Easter Ceramic... Coming Through!!!

OK guys .. you already know how crazy i am about white ceramic and i always love receiving presents that are ceramic related. So you think, how much better can it go?! right?!.. well it does go faaaaaar better than just that! I don't know if you figured out by now, but i also love animals.. so when the white ceramic items are also ceramic animals .. then i go totally goo goo :)

I know that the Easter is coming close already, so my husband thought why not giving me my Easter present earlier this year:)

So without further ado.. here's my Easter ceramic bunny :



Isn't he cute and all?
I find him so clean and white:) I just adore him right now.

How about you guys? Do you have any preference for ceramic objects? Or glass items?.. Anyone?!

Tiny Little Changes

Well today i was cleaning the bedroom as every morning and after piking up all the small items (tea cups, small spoons, napkins, vitamins, my jewelries and stuff like that)that we left around the bed at night(yeah when we're tired we tend to throw things around the bed without caring for the mess...even tough i am a cleaning freak.. at night those freak-ish instincts go away.. but they come back in the morning more powerful than the day before:P ), anyway..i saw this little basket on our side table. And i remembered it was a gift from my mom.
I didn't quite liked the color of it so i just put it somewhere where i forgot about it. Today tough, i decided to do something about it, so i put my gloves on, took my paints and paint brushes and i started the work.

I'm sorry i forgot to take a before picture of the actual basket but i looked over the internet to find something that looked pretty close to what my basket used to look like.. and i found this picture:



It's the small one in the right lower corner ..or sort of.. :)

After 30 min and 2 coats of white wood paint, the result was this:



I find it quite nice and chic comparing to the initial look. And I'm working on the place where to put it! I'll share with you once everything is done there.. til' then i hope you enjoyed my basket makeover!

Buah buahye!!!

The 'Look For Less' Sunday - bureau area

OK bloggers, here's the thing: i decided that every Sunday I'll try putting together, just for you, a 'Look For Less' section in which I'll try to find different budget options for a look that otherwise would be much too expensive for a regular budget.

This way it'll be stress free for most of you and budget friendly for everyone! Happy bloggers, happy me:)

So without further ado, this Sunday in the 'Look For Less' section i chose an office makeover. Here's the original office that i am trying to find for less if not half the original price.

Original:

This total office costs:

desk - 249$
low hutch - 89$
chair - 119$
chair cushion - 39$
______________
Total 496$


Now my option would be...


Desk

You can find this item over on Target for only 139.99$ including the desk and the low profile hutch. So instead of paying 338$ you only pay 139.99$. Pretty awesome right?

Now for the chair option we'll visit our favorite store Ikea

And here instead of paying 119$ for the chair you have it right into your home for only 39.99$ . Good deal right?


And for a little more zing here's a chair cushion that resembles the one in the original office, as well from Ikea:

And you get this for only 9.99$ instead of 39.99$.


And now the total costs were cut from 496$ to only (139.99 + 39.99 + 9.99 =) 189.97$. That's a pretty good deal to me!

And if you want to add a little bit of more pep here's some lightning option that will not spur your budget too much from our friend Target:

This beautiful lamp is only 24.99$ and it definitely matches the chic style from your new burro.

And for the color choice you can try either Duron - Potentially Purple or Benjamin Moor - Misty Lilac. Either of them resembles just great the original wall painting.

Hope it helps!
And if you liked this section on our blog please check by again next Sunday to see what else we have here to remake for less zuckeroooo :)

Happy Sunday Everyone!

The Happy Doorway

Ok Guys! Some while back i wanted to share this good one with you..
I've always liked me the Christmas Door Wreaths ... and i know that you can only keep that for Christmas , otherwise you'd kinda look like a lunatic....but putting things all together, i came up with something so cute.. even more cuter than the winter door decor.
I thought that a Christmas wreath of course it's not appropriate for the spring season.. not to mention for the hot summer season.. so instead of keeping that one up, i can come with special wreaths/door decor for each season.. this way I'll keep things interesting and diverse(yeah u can add cheesy too:P)


Well see, i was keeping my eyes on the prize this whole time, so when the winter sale went right on the spot.. i was right there to catch the flash :))
Myself and The Husband, we were out for grocery shopping one day and ,as much as i tried kicking myself in the nuts (just a figure of speech):P, i couldn't keep my eyes off the Decor Store door, so The Husband , after long words to convince him it was the right thing to do, showed mercy on my wet eyes, slightly long figure and trembling lips.. so we got in eventually. "5 min rule" he said.. but rules are made to be cheating on ...so the "5min rule" became more like the "35min rule":D
But The Husband is understanding of me and I love him so much for that!

So after a while in there, i got me some beautiful door decoration after all, and now we can share some spring breeze on our doorway all day ...plus our door looks so much happier now:)

How about you?? what's the deal at your place??

This Spring is White !!!

Lately I've been caught into this whole 'white party'... due to the spring coming into our homes, everything my eyes were melting for was white all the way.. weird i know.. winter it's supposed to be white.. the spring should be green all the way.. no problemo.. but some white never harms..
So I'm craving me for some white fluffy blankets, some new white towels, some white tulips and of course some white ceramic:)

I'm only half way there.. i mean i got my white tulips eventually, I planted them in a white ceramic vase and today they were looking kinda like this..


sweet huh?.. is it feel springy already?.. i guess it does:)

Anywhoodle, do you guys have anything that you're craving for, this spring?!?..
..something to eat, or something to wear, something for the eye or something for the soul.. please do tell!!!!
