Love these nursery´s


I hope you had a great weekend! I have been searching some blogs for nurserys and when I saw this chic Boston´s Beacon Hill nursey over at Elements of style blog, I knew I was in love. This is the kind of nursery I would like to create. I liked the post that Erin of Elements of style wrote, because she gave the sources where things were bought.


great right?

An other nursery from Matters of style blog got me exited too, she recently gave birth to a baby girl and I love how she DIY this nursery all by herself.




I think I like it because she used a lot of bamboo furniture and the colors and the details are well matched together.

organization

A clean and organized house makes a good base for a happy home. Sometimes a busy mind or stress reflects a chaotic home, that at least is in my case. Make time and joy to get your house organized. Put some favorite music on, and don't worry for your neighbours come knocking at your door, and get motivated to see the end result.




The best way is not bring so much stuff in to your home in the first place, are you going to use it all? Sometimes we drown in all the stuff that we want to keep. Today organized one of my rooms that has a big closet, i did manage to fill 8 garbage bags with stuff to donate and others with garbage.
That made me feel good, or are those the hormones doing their thing?
Anyway a good way to get me started cleaning is looking at pretty pictures of other homes.
Like these pretty vignets for example, it makes me want to get the same result.





Now my house is clean, gotta go buying some fresh flowers that will be the cherry on the pie.
Enjoy your weekend!

The little things

Thank you for your well wishes of our pregnancy, for not turning this blog into a babyblog, I will post sometimes a few things about babystuff.
Today I wanted to share some little things that made my day.
my new gold chain and leather bracelet from Massimo Dutti, wich is my new arm candy love.

New Iphone cover, my Iphone was getting severely scratched.
Yesterday I saw this pretty and simple black Iphonecover and it turned out to
 cost only 2 euros. It made me happy, functionality and price wise.

I bought an Ikea frame for the pretty portrait of my friend Masha.
She went to live in Mexico, where this picture was taken also.
When I see her happy picture, it makes me smile.

This gold glitter jacket from Zara, that will come out handy for my growing belly.
I do want to dress up nicely and try to take good care.

Back again...we have an anouncement

Dear all, life is full of surprises, especially for me 15 weeks ago, i happily found out that I was pregnant!
We told our closest relatives in the beginning, but now that we passed the 3 months we can say it out loud finally!
Maybe you have noticed that sometimes i was feeling a bit sick and didn´t blog that day, well now you know why. I started feeling better since a week, the nauseas are disapearing and I am full with energy.
I am happy to read many other bloggers have babies, children or are pregnant themselves and of course I am interested to know about their experiences and advises.

Here is a little image of the baby in my belly.

We still don´t know yet is it´s a boy or a girl, but I can tell you for sure I am looking forward to decorate the nursery!

Wallpaper

What to do when you only can afford one roll of gorgeous wallpaper? Well get it if it makes you happy, I will show you some examples what you can do with only one roll.
If you have two little nooks like these, they come to life with such a colorful and fun wallpaper.

 What about these 2 different staircases? I think they add that extra little bit of fun
thanks to these graphic wallpapers.
By aplying your favorite wallpaper to the wall where you have your vanity table, makes it clear that this space is totally yours!

This kidsroom, the wallpaper makes the difference.


This is one of my favorite idea´s, it´s done by Eddie Ross wich I admire.

If you have some more wallpaper, but still not enough to cover the whole livingroom, I
advise you to add it to the toilet or second bathroom.
It´s still a small space, but it makes so nice.
