black and white office space

this office space of Cameo public relations was designedby Nichole Loiacono, I remember her from a DIY coffee filter pendant lamp that was on almost all blog 2 years ago.

This feminine black and white office with a hint of pink seemscozy and inviting.

Vintage trunk and suitcases painted white

These trunk and suitcases are the vintage ones my mum and me we bought on flea markets. They are already lovely in their brown colors, but I wanted to have them clean and painted in white so they would match the idea I had for Matteo´s Nursery. I posted about Matteo´s nursery before here.

I changed a bench for the vintage trunk and suitcases so toys, small clothes and other things can be saved in there. I changed the rug for a bargellow white and navy one bought at Zara home.

update Beau Lifestyle

Thank you all for commenting on the blog exchange I have enjoyed reading the blogs of Home change home, the shingled house, Baum squad and House@heart. Please visit and read these blogs on lifestyle, decoration, DIY and family life.
I am back after being away for a few days, it was easter holidays and had my parents over for a few days to spend some quality time with our little Matt, how lovely was that, I already miss them.
They brought over many many goodies for our home...geee, where to start, it involves vintage trunks, vintage suitcases and a special closet. I will promise to take pictures and post them on this blog soon. I am also back to work, as my daily work pays the bills, it has to come before blogging, even though I notice my mind drifting away from my work sometimes thinking of tiles, fabrics and what to change next in my home. Matt is been sweet but oh so naughty, he also suffers that most of his teeth are coming through. He looks like a big boy now.

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!

Blog exchange

Dear all, It´s time to organize, clean up and better yourself. At least that is what happens to me when the sun comes out and I feel the change from winter to spring.
I am going to clean up my blogroll, there are some blogs that don´t exist  anymore and it´s time to add a few new and fantastic blogs.
Do you have a nice blog, and do you post a few times a week, please let me know and maybe I can add you to my blogroll, if you can do the same for me. I want to add aprox 7-10 new ones. I will make a selection, can´t add them all, just to warn you but I will pay your blog a visit for sure.
Let me hear from you and we will talk.
Love.

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!

Lonny magazine

Hello everyone, you might ask where have you been? I have been ill, I still am. Sinusitis, Gastritis, Flu...you name it and I have had them these days, also baby Matteo was sick and now mr Beau got it too.

I am recovering and happily sitting behind my computer sharing this pretty picture from the march edition of the Lonny magazine.

I am still loving the combination of lucite and gold, snake skin tray, cow hide and that desk+chair, just beautifull. Only thing I would change is the lamp, too granny style for this space.

I like to see how other organize their jewelry

Matteo´s birthday

Wow, these days are passing by fast. Saturday we celebrated Matteo´s 1st birthday for a couple of friends and close family. We did little party preparations, balloons, garland and home made food.

Just to give you an idea as I felt a little under the weather and didn´t shoot some pictures during the party.
