Dream places I would like to live.

If you don't know already by now, I'm obsessed with {almost} everything shabby chic. Or that swedish, romantic, country-side style. Everything flowerish, cute and pastel. Vintage. And here are some PERFECT places I wouldn't mind to spend the rest of my life in. Well, the first two houses would need a little help and fixing, but they are amazing anyway.




































Happy Thursday friend!

Love, Aleksandra.

Shabby home inspiration.

Christmas is near, Christmas is near!

Ah, good morning everyone! I hope you're having beautiful Thursday! Today's my last day at college before my Christmas holidays begin, so I'm pretty excited too! :)

Yesterday I've found some very nice pictures which are such a great inspiration! I have always dreamt of an old flat here in Vienna, with high ceilings and walls, huge windows, parquet floors and wonderful baroque wallpapers in light pastel colors. And what better furniture fits such an enterieur than the shabby chic one? Right, none. But there are also some things that I don't like about it. Like, it can be exaggerated. Way too many details, too shrilly colors (such as PINK) and so on.


As you can see above, I'm more the classy shabby admirer. Warm beige tones, with light colors, nothing too "agressive" and such. But also with this style there is also the danger if you use way too much white and blue, that the ambient will become cold and that is exactly what the shabby style is not about! It should give you warmth and make you feel comfortable in every little corner of your living space.


But the main and most important thing is, that you furnish your little kingdome the way YOU love it. Because in the end, youw will live in it.

Have a nice day!

Love, Aleksandra.

I'm working on...


...An old old chest!!!

Una vecchia vecchia cassapanca!!!






At the moment I'm sanding it
to remove all the old paint.
After that I don't know if
painting it white with a shabby finiture...
(like this one)

Al momento la stò carteggiando
per rimuovere tutta la vernice.
Dopo di che, non so che
dipingerla di bianco
con finiture shabby...
(come questa)



...or using
the white decorative wax seing
at sweet Francesca's blog.

o usare la cera decorativa
bianca che ho visto nel blog della
dolce Francesca.



What do you think?
Oh yes, of course I have to say where
I will put this chest!!
In my bedroom, which is all white!

Che ne pensate?
Bhè, prima devo dirvi dove metterò
la cassapanca!
Nella mia camera, che è tutta bianca!

Christmas is definitely over...


Yesterday was the last day
of the Christmas period!
So now it's time to put away
all the decorations,
to stop singing Christmas songs,
to stop watching Christmas movies,
to stop eating son much chocolate
with the excuse that it's Christmas,
and to come back to normality.

Ieri è stato l'ultimo giorno di festa.
Ora è tempo di mettere via
tutte le decorazioni,
smetterla di cantare canzoni natalizie,
smetterla di guardare film natalizi,
smeeterla di magiare troppa cioccolata
con la scusa che tanto è Natale
e tornare alla normalità.

But if you want to
dream a little dream with me,
come and see this house!

Ma se avete voglia di
un piccolo sogno,
venite a vedere questa casa
con me!







Provenzal style, shabby chic touch
and even a wonderful Mora clock!

Stile provenzale, tocco shabby chic
e pure un bellissimo orologio Mora!







I'm in love with the decorations
over the doors...
I want one for my bedroom!!!

Mi sono innamorata dei fregi da mettere
sopra le porte...
ne voglio uno per la mia camera!!!




Thank you dears friends for all your
get well wishes!
Me and Sofia are quite OK now,
but the great news is that
I'm not obliged to watch Teletubbies
all day!!!
 Sofia is now as full of energies
as always and has re-start
to run
and jump
and play
all around the house...

...maybe it was better when
she was quite and still on the sofa...
=)

Have a great week end!!!

Grazie care amiche
per tutti gli auguri di pronta guarigione
che mi avete mandato!
Io e Sofia siamo quasi a posto ormai,
ma la grande notizia è
che non sono più obbligata
a guardare i Teletubbies tutti il giorno!!!
Sofia ha recuperato tutte le sue
energie e ha ricominciato
a correre
a saltare
a giocare
per tutta la casa...

...forse era meglio quando se ne stava
ferma e tranquilla sul divano...
=)

Passate un buonissimo week end!!!
