Random Happy Home



Pin It

Hello, friends! Spring is in the air! The light is magical! I've prepared new colors in the home and I also have big plans for this weekend :) Let's start in the home office, where my DIY wallpaper is once again in full season, since in a short while we'll be able to take a walk in the park and savor the shadows of fresh green leaves in the trees! Seriously, my cyclist friends have already taken their bicycles out for a ride (and one of them almost broke a leg, what a bummer)... 



In the bedroom I've created a little contrast for the dark purple wall... I must admit that, instead of trying out something new, I was inspired by last Spring's colors (and also by the fact that I received the most beautiful azalea topiary). You can also spy a beautiful poppy painting. I need to re-frame it asap, because the black frame doesn't do anything for me... and it kills the appeal of the painting, too.



Let's linger in the sunny bedroom for just a few moments more. I want to show you the dark purple sheets, a perfect match for the purple painted wall across the bed. Both the purple duvet cover and the yellow pillows are from Ikea, a stylish resource in textile, very convenient for my budget. I just love the way the circles in the pillow print echo the design of the white retro lamp! And, on a personal note, yellow and violet scream Pansies! to me - I can't wait to fill my balcony with yellow/purple pansies :)



Speaking of the small balcony, here's a sneak peek through the glass door. I moved my second pink lucite table on the balcony, for a change. The hot pink is the perfect contrast for the green leaves. I can almost feel the energy of the happy colors entering the home. I hope that tomorrow I will be able to share more pics taken from the balcony. There are no flowers yet, but the Spring light and the green leaves are surely a great way to start the day :)




Moving into the kitchen, where I've already switched the color scheme to welcome spring (as I posted here earlier). The glass of the spice jars captures the light entering through the window and reflects it back into the room. It makes everything look more sparkling! Even the honey jar looks like a giant gem stone, because of the reflexion. So if you need more light into the home, use glass vases and accessories, or even better, a few mirrors, and let the sunshine rays bounce forth and back into your space!



I'd like to end this post on a personal note. Even if sunshine is back into our life, it is freezing outside! I haven't ditched my green winter coat yet, or my dusty pink boots, but at least they are a match to the pavement in my city :) And I'm wearing one of my favorite dresses, colored little hearts and everything...

    1. Ana, thank you, as always! I must prepare for you a diploma of No.1 fan, of course you know the objects and the rooms (and you are most welcome every time!)
      And yes, my avatar is the same with circles, because I love this retro pattern to death (!!!!) and I wish that I could spend my whole life in the year 1972, lounging on a round armchair...
