"Here comes the sun, little darling... Here comes the sun... It's alright (Tananananana...)" is the first thing that comes to my mind. A song to celebrate the sun. After 4 weeks of really dark skies, after yesterday's snow, came a little sunshine to brighten up my day. And my mood (now that I have the fever, I might use the cold remedy tea sooner than I expected). I had no time to prepare anything with a Christmas touch, as I was already running late for work, so I just snapped some pics with the light slipping on the bed cover and onto the wall.
On my nightstand (a re-purposed, moved around the house powder blue Ikea Lack coffee table) there is all the goodness in the world. The stuff that dreams are made of: a children's book with wonderful illustrations by a Romanian artist (entitled "The Day That Mr. Sleep Ran Away") - check!, a pocket-size handmade journal with red polka-dot fabric and coptic bound in turquoise wax thread (from the days when my friend Ana and me were only fantasizing about opening our Etsy shop) - check!, tap dancing metal plates - check! and an old handmade bookmark - check!
Just looking at these pics makes me smile - who knows when are we going to enjoy another sunshine day like this? The weather prognosis is dreadful, so all I've got left is the pattern the light makes when it comes crawling onto the crochet pillow and the orange bed sheet. Note to self: need to change them soon and figure something else for the upcoming Christmas celebration...
Opposite the bed is that one DIY project that never bores or disappoints me - my beloved purple plum accent wall and the vintage cabinet I inherited from my grandfather. I've got my childhood turntable and my favorite vinyls in there, plus a plethora of matryoskas and other ethnic dolls collected over time. Far in the back, the Burberry style cardboard boxes. I already grew tired of that look, so I need to paint them soon!
I love the way you use color. Every corner is a little surprise.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your enthusiastic comments on my blog, they make me smile and think "maybe I 'm doing something right here".
What does the title of your blog mean?
Tina, thank you so much for the lovely words, I truly appreciate your support (and I need it just as much as you do). The name Meeha Meeha is what all my friends call me ("Miha" is short for my name "Mihaela" and I spelled it "Meeha" so that you pronounce it correctly in English)
Deletewe had sun yesterday too! it was actually warm if you stood and put your face towards it. we went for a nice little walk, but with the wind my little guys were running on the way back. i wish i got that much light in my windows. i only get evening light so it's just not the same. xo
ReplyDeleteChristine, it looks like you had a wonderful walk with the boys, even with the wind and all:) The bedroom gets morning light because the window faces East but in my parents home the kitchen and dining room face West and they always have nice evening light, filtered through the shades. I'm sure your home looks great glowing in the afternoon :)
DeleteYou have such lovely light seeping into your bedroom. I just love how colorful the whole room is too. The crochet pillow reminds me that I need to get working on that project. Probably after the holidays since I've got some Christmas gift crafting to do.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica, I love your lovely words! Many times I think that my rooms are too colorful, but I just can't restrain myself and everything tends to look a lot like kindergarden :))))
DeleteLindo seu quarto as cores estão chamando o sol. Sinto falta do frio, aqui está muito quente.
ReplyDeleteTenha um ótimo fim de semana.
So sunny! It's cloudy here today in Fl but looking at your photos makes me cheery! I love seeing your purple wall :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Yelle, dark wall love back from me to you!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting, your wonderful words put a smile on my face! I love the sunlight and I bought the apartment especially because it received lots of light until late in the afternoon. Many times I think my room are too colorful but I can't help myself (and it's more cheerful this way!)

Oh, I love your decor style! It's gorgeous. Did you do that crochet piillow? The perfect handmade touch for a bed! :)
ReplyDeleteAndrea, welcome back. I'm so glad you like the crochet pillow - it's my first and I made it all from my head, with no model!
DeleteI like this room that is so colorful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice bedroom you have! Love that little bird in the tree! :)Your tough lamp reminds me of a norwegian cheese.
ReplyDeleteNorwegian cheese, you are so funny, Lisa! If I had the money, my whole home would looks like norwegian cheese, because I love retro design and color very much :)
DeleteYour bedroom is so beautiful! Colorful yet calm. And that light has me drooling. Please send it over if you ever tire of it :-)
ReplyDeletehugs
Jutta, thank you! Many times I wish my style could be more restraint and stylish like yours, but it looks like I can't shake the color out of the room!
