Copenhagen style

Here's a nice house located North of Copenhagen! I love the whites and all little blue details around it!

I would have chosen a warmer contrast in the pink shades but I still would live in it.

Enjoy!

Great opportunity for French glassware lovers: I've been shopping for you at La Rochere!

Bonjour mes amis!

Driving around France I had to stop at the oldest glassware factory in France; yes, I'm talking about La Rochere, established in 1475!

I've been buying some glassware and tableware for my house and I decided to get some items for you too, straight from the factory hence the incredible price.

La Rochere is  the oldest manufacturer of glass products in France.

These design glasses and carafes are made from pressed glass, a process which uses a mould which enables the designs to appear in relief on the outside of the glass. 

They are perfect to give a country and chic style to your home or dinner party. 
And they are dishwasher and microwave safe!

Wine glass Petit Palais (set of 6)

Mexican Interior

As you have noticed, summer makes me want to travel so I’ve decided that I’ll post ideas from all over the world weekly…if I can. If you have some photos from your holidays of interiors or accessories, please send them to me, I’ll be happy to post them on this blog.

I’ve always been fascinated by Mexican decors so I’m sharing with you some ideas on how to replicate that style.

The following text has been adapted from what I’ve read on Lux Interior.

During the invasion of the Conquistadors in the XVI century, Spanish culture has interacted with local traditions in Mexico and this has created a very unexpected, expressive and extravagant baroque style.


Mexico is also known for the cult of the dead. Figures dressed in multicoloured clothes are often used in decoration of interiors and they are placed in a very important area of the room.


The colours of Mexico are more provocative than those used in the Mediterranean and you can often encounter, like in the paintings of Frida Kahlo, tropical green, bloody red, lemon yellow and bright blue.

The typical Mexican blue, Azul Anil, is widely used in the House of the great painter Frida Kahlo that is now a museum and it has largely characterized her style.


Mexican style fits particularly well in today’s form of interior decoration. Even the most modern apartment fits perfectly the roughness of old wooden doors, wooden or brick arches across the ceiling and rugs.


The nature of this style is not difficult to achieve, but must follow some basic rules. It is important to know that Mexican style cannot be achieved in a room with carpet or rugs. Nor a place where the walls are covered with wallpaper. To be able to achieve the atmosphere of Mexico the walls should be whitewashed or neizmazan brick wall. If you have that basis, you only need the typical dazzling colours, collections of handicrafts like vases, rugs and masks on the walls.

Green House

While sick at home with the flu and a sicker than me  baby, I've decided to browse around the net for inpiration and look what I've found on Precious style! A great green house I'd love to have...even as a house!

Right now my renovation at home is going quite fast and I'll finally have access to a small garden too! But I don't think this will fit.

Apologies for not posting as often but I need some peace and quite. As soon as the house, the flu and work is sorted I'll be back full of ideas.
