I am lucky that my work is also my passion and hobby. My mind never stops thinking about how to make decor updates and changes in my own home, especially when the seasons change. With spring around the corner, I am changing it again. This time I decided to play with one of my favourite colours: turquoise. My inspiration was a Bitossi piece I bought at an antique store.
I love brining spring inside. Tip: repot the plants, no yellow or pink liners needed, keep it simple.
It started with a couple of candlesticks. Tip: buy things in pairs or threes.
For Easter I inserted the turquoise here and there…
My dog Gus watches me as I work.
A few cherished items grouped together.
Buddha gets a backdrop of mountains. Tip: Layer things on your bookshelf.
Yellow tulips lasts the longest, that’s what my mom said anyway.
Two glass bottles found in my bedroom got a new spot on the living room book shelf. Tip: use dried flowers instead of fake or real, these hydrangeas are from my garden last fall.
I needed some art to layer on my book-case and printed up personal photos in the right colour tones. Tip: Ikea frames have great mats, order your prints to fit in these frames.
Old books look great stacked. Tip: remember to have your books at the edge of the shelf, not pushed in.
Tip: group old with old, worn with worn
And here my treasures come to life.
Tip: repeat colours, patterns and textures.
Lighting is very important. Tip: a good reading lamp is a must have in every living room.
The spring refresh is done.
I can help you with yours.
