Repurposing: Vinyl records into clocks ["owl tell you the time"]

This is the second vinyl clock I've ever made.

This one was for my dearest friend Irina.

Repurposing: ceiling flat lamp turned summer decoration base

This is me mixing some sea shells of different color and shape, beach sand [mix fine and coarse sand] and a repurposed transparent wine glass. And candles.

Repurposing and decor details: two corners and a half

This is me oscillating between retro, vintage and antique.

Repurposed jars - as candle holders and vase, repurposed green wine bottle as vase and repurposed ripped cane mesh from a chair, turned vase by adding a POKAL glass from IKEA.

Vintage cooler

The heat is on and has been for a while. While this item is clearly not repurposed, it is beautiful and inspired me. Dried flowers never looked better.

Photo's mine, cooler belongs to its owner.

Photoshoot: lilac

This is me admiring my latest corner of inspiration:

Lilac from my garden, an IKEA green watering can, an old little cabinet [shabby-chic'd], black cast iron candle holder.

Repurposed: a jar which I used as a glass for ivy, wooden box - painted to look french-chic, a white spent light bulb.

Crafts: paper stars and magazine curls - I lost the link where I saw how to make them, but I'm working on recovering it. Made these for Christmas, so I can't remember, either.

Photoshoot: white and mauve/violet tulips

This is me loving these tulips and documenting their brief yet most welcome stay in my home. Tulips and freesias are spring flowers I love. And whereas I always know you cannot go wrong with freesias [the worst being when they don't smell and are just beautiful to watch], sometimes I am afraid of tulips and their very short lifespan when offered as a bouquet. These, however, were given to me as two separate bouquets by my family and seem to have been very keen of the environment they lived in.

Obsessions: Repurposing: ...little boxes, all the same... card cabinets and filing cabinets

I am currently obsessed with wooden library card cabinets. This is one clever cabinet repurposing idea, by Emily Henderson.

Or, for a post-industrial loft apartment inspiration, heavy, metal filing cabinets - by SnapshotVintage. Repurposed as night stands or end tables.

Photos taken from: Emily Henderson's blog, SnapshotVintage's Etsy. I am sure I will go back to those sites soon and often.

This is me thinking if I could possibly have both little boxes cabinets styles in my house.

From my heart: just add coffee

This is me thinking: 

Breakfast is important. Make something sweet. Add fruit. Add coffee

Then read some blogs, heart some pics, and don't forget books. Real ones. Add coffee

Bake a cake. Add coffee

Take your bike out in town. Find a bakery. Sit and chat. Add coffee

Organize and clean your work space. Work. Add coffee

Take a break, have an ice-cream. Add coffee

Dream of a decadent chocolate cake. Add coffee

Think of ways to improve your home. Add coffee

Meet friends in the evening for meaningless talk. Add coffee

Whatever you do, just add coffee

Light: candles and dark spaces

This is me using natural light at night. Candle corners keep the room warm-lit.

Sweet looks

And sweet decor

ALL from FIME

This is me feeling unusually drawn to pink/salmon today. On a normal day I wouldn't be.

Repurposing: wood and iron

From Shades Of Light.com

This is me liking the repurposed-wood idea and all but really drooling over the iron objects in the room

Winter snow is finally here

This is me thriving on some winter-and-snow photographs

Repurposing wine bottles for Christmas

This is me wishing I had a glass cutting and a glass drilling device.

And this is also me, wishing I had such a great means of finding photo sources for every post. Giving credits is rewarding.

Winter cozy

This is me thinking 'cozy' is an attribute I should take advantage of in winter
