Sliding doors

I am really looking into these DIY sliding doors, so practical for small spaces.
Browsing through pinterest I see a few diferent ways to do it. Barnstyle, or with plumbing tubes (my least favorite) or with a rail system on top ond little wheels on the floor ( i dont like to see rails in the floor)

 

Great to divide a room, hide a nook, close a pantry etc endless posibilities.

retty right! I adore it!

Ikea hack done - Highchair

our chair

Remember I was inspired by the ikea hack i wrote about here, done by dwellings by devore, well I did it! I am so happy with the result. Chic gold legs and a vinyl monogram purchased in derikson´s etsy shop. The easiest DIY ever done. I am on the run, got to pick up Matt from daycare, will read your comments and reply soon!

Tea Station

Hello! How was your weekend, mine was lovely, it´s great to be back and to be healthy, I am full of energy and I feel I have missed out on so many blogposts! I did nice things this weekend with Mr Beau and Baby Matteo, and had some time to rearrange some things in the house. I am still very fond of the lucite side table I bought in Zara home a few years ago, I had beautiful antique glass decanters placed on top of it, but with Matteo´s fingers touching them, I was afraid he might break them and so I stored them away. Now I use it as a tea station, I drink a lot of Chinese green tea, and these things all together could break, but are not that fragile as antique decanters.

Good quality wrapping paper with snake skin print I have placed underneath the lucite top on my wooden chest, I am very happy with the result.

All pictures taken with my new iphone 5, thanks dad for giving it to me as a present, love you!

Ikea hack- Highchair

When reading the post of one of my most favorite blogs Dwellings by Devore, I saw that se had hacked the Ikea high chair. It´s simple DIY but so pretty. She spray painted the legs in gold and added a vinyl monogram to the seat. Now that´s a winner! I also have the Ikea high chair and I am planning to do this fantastic DIY soon.

Highchair with gold legs = so Chic!

O´verlays love

I absolutely love O´verlays, I wrote about my O´verlays before. I keep checking them out and every time they have more splendid DIY make overs and IKEA hacks. Their customers have excellent taste and I appreciate the fact that thanks to O´verlays we can update a not so good looking piece or a plain ikea piece of furniture with little money and give it a designer look.

How about the above Ikea hack, O´verlays sells these thick Greek key corners to make the simple shelving unit so pretty. It´s the shelving unit called VITTSJO, costs 70 dollars.

Things that wow-ed my weekend

This weekend we made a stroll to the flower market and got some fuchsia/ruby red peonies, tulips, and gold branches. These gold branches I absolutely love and are an easy DIY to make. With my baby 24 on my arm it was impossible to spray paint these myself and bought them this time.

I am very fond of my antique malachite planter that is been filled to the brim with walnuts. 

Our Christmas tree is up. A vintage DIY spray painted bird that I had from last year I used to top the tree. I chose this white tree as I wanted something diferent. To soften it up I used some gold branches and stuck them in between the white plastic branches of the tree and gold and white christmas balls.

Maybe I add something more, maybe not.

I am in the gold phase, as you can see things added to the decor are mostly golds...I am thrilled with this gold mirrored monogram I bought over Me and belle. Me and belle is an online boutique that makes custom monogram keychains, wall appliqués, silhouettes and more...so recommendable to pay the shop a visit. I stuck it to the wall above our bedboard. Before we had a Vintage sunburst mirror there but with our baby playing on our bed I had nightmares about that thing falling down, off it went and now finally the wall doesn´t look so empty any more.

Another great change is that I had black ribbon sewed on to a simple white duvet cover from Ikea and now it looks so much more interesting. It has this square design in all 4 corners of the cover.
