christmas bouquet

Hope you had a great weekend.
I am doing shopping for the nursery at Ikea, and it's great using blogpress to be able to post on route.
Sunday i went to the flowermarket and bought some gold sprayed branches wich i mixed with white liliums, different kinds of ecualiptus branches and and red berries. I looks so festive. As we dont have a christmas tree this year, at least we get the holiday feeling.

Leonor designs

This is a little dream come true, Patricia and me we opened our little web shop today called Leonor designs (Leonor was Patricia most beloved grandma, so in her honor we called the shop), we have many more beautiful and unique creations to upload. Most of the creation are one of a kind and once they're gone their gone. Most of the creations are a mix of vintage and new semi precious stones.

Get your unique piece before the holidays.

Office of Ana Antunes

This is my most favorite office picture! It´s the office of my dear friend Ana Antunes of Home Styling. I have visited Ana during my trip to beautiful Lisbon early this year, I wrote about our rendez vous here. When I stepped in her office I felt like I stepped in the amazing Willy Wonka´s chocolate factory. It was all ooohhh and aaaah, just beautifull. She loves trellis, wich i do too and has a very popular decorating program on the Portugese television.  I try to keep my office neat and stylish as her, but my work is a little less elegant, my office part is nice but the warehouse is full of boxes and they bring in a lot of dust, which means a lot of cleaning to do!

Zara home giveaway!

Yes my lovelys, I am hosting a little Zara Home giveaway, knowing that many of you do not have that shop over in your country and I want to give you the oportunity to get a little present from me. (and also enter if you do have it available in your country).
I am not sponsored by them, but I just love that shop and I guess you´ll love it too.
(PS note to Zara Home, if you do read this i do not mind being sponsored in the future to do more giveaways ;)))

I will do a giveaway of 25 euro, and it will end the 8th of december midnight eu time.
What you have to do:
-be or become a follower of Beau Lifestyle
-have a look at the Zara Home webpage, comment me wich articles you would like to receive
-leave me your emailadress in the comment so I can contact you if you win.

That´s all easy peasy.

Just keep in mind that i do not mind to ship anything of glass or breakable, i´ll pack it well but i do not want to be held responsible if it arrives broken.

International shipping time can take a while, do not be suprised if it arrives after christmas.

Weekend nursery decorating

This Sunday we stayed home in our PJ´s decorating the nursery.

Beau mounted the Leander crib and it looks good!

Some inspiration I got from the book Room for Children, that I bought in Jonathan Adler´s NY boutique last year during our US roadtrip. These pretty elephants I bought over at Etsy from seller Curate

 The room is quite empty but bit by bit it comes together.

The toy elephant is from a spanish babybrand sal de coco, wich makes cute stuff.

The adorable booties I got from a dear friend, Matteo is going to be so handsome with these booties!

You had me at hello...

Do you read the decorista blog? I do, do, do, do

This picture had me at HELLO

The mix of vintage with modern, lucite, the softness of the rug with the mirrored console and oh the wall color is just divine. Today I go to the movies, I want to see Breaking Dawn, did anyone see it?

Matteo´s chair

Yesterday I had a busy day in Madrid visiting customers, had no time to post sorry.
I am trying to travel as much as possible now and get everything done for work, because the bump is growing and soon I will not be able to travel.
A year ago my mom and me we found this little childrens chair over at a local triftshop, and I knew I had to have it. Now I had the best excuse to get it upholstered for the nursery, they delivered it today at my office, can´t wait to see it in the nursery.
The fabric is calico corners diamante, and I ordered a few more buttons on it, this is the after:

           The before was a very ugly color, but sometimes you have to look through it:

So what do you think of Matteo´s chair?
