Mama's country kitchen

I was so glad when my mother called me and said inspired by my blog, she'll do something in her kitchen. :) So few months later, I must share this with you. She not only repaint all cabinets but also did all reassembling, dry sanding etc. Here's the result plus this was a good subject to show you other versions of county kitchens. I picked more modern county kitchen versions, cleaner and "lighter". But in all those picks, mother's cooking fits perfectly. ;)

Enjoy,
Iva

I'm not and expert, but I would say industrial meets country, from  My little house of style


Also from  My little house of style, a really great blog!

From style-files.com; Moroccan modern county. It's basically white but colorful in the same time, and I like it, that's why I choose it.

Summer inspirations (down by the sea)


For some of us, end of December is the time of year when we recollect our work, things we did or didn't do. For me this time of year is summer. Holidays often make my rethink myself, because I get caught in that simplicity of living and just being.

And extra motivation is if you can do all this in some nice place that gets you move. For me, epithets for that kind of interiors are: natural, rustic, ethical, calm, creative, colorful, cozy, simple, warm, unfinished, improvising... Feel free to add some more. Here are some examples worth visiting, get the vibe!?!

Love,
Iva

Like under the summer rain + gets you creative, these tiles.
Beautiful location, near Marseille 

The scent of pines, touch of breeze... All you need is a boat to catch a fish for dinner.
You can rent it here.

Touch of color makes you wanna use a brush and paint.

Cave inspirations for your cave

I started preparing text about summer locations, to give you some summer mood but instead I keep on listening to a Nick Cave's latest album and just can't catch this light summer touch that I usually have in this time of year. It's so close, a few millimeters from me but the cold touch of air conditioner just don't let me have this feeling. Funny, can't live without it (or can we, we did once before!?) but at the other hand, it keeps you away from having that down on the beach siesta feeling.

But this is a good day to share with you a nice photo of a room that could be a room of someone who also listen to Cave.


And for me, I'll keep pushing the sky away, and try to stay in connection with the season of the year, despite the air conditioners, so I could bring us that summer feeling. ;)

Love,
Iva
