Girls and cats

This is me contemplating the idea that cats and girls are exquisite together.

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.
