My Current Crush

Oooohh! I just can't stop my brain from running.

I am so so so inspired at the moment :)

My style in arts is really about Imperfectness. For me, imperfectness enriches the piece.
(But, please don't get me wrong. I am so keen on room arrangment and hardly tolerate messy rooms)

At the moment, I have a crush on handmade art pieces. Apparently, they are all in white and blue :)

Hand printed timber tiles! I really dream of this!

i.e. to have a wall of handprinted tiles (err, not to make the tiles at the moment) 

Handprinted fabric. I finally made my first trial on this, after 1 year!

So happy I tried. But, need to practice more.

 

 



Bye bye silver wares. Hello handmade/printed cemaric wares :)

I love its imperfect shapes and color :)

 



I hope you enjoy reading and inspired too.
Cheers to imperfectness :)

In the Mood for Fashion

Hi Friends,

I think I have hidden interest in certain fashion. I think it's about time to release it. And my favorite style for fashion and home interior is similar. I look for color and texture in both. I love color contrast and in something with high character.

Today, I want to share my findings in modern gypsy fashion.

I love the red blood and creamy white combination. Always find head cover from a twisted scarf sexy and a perfect combination with a pair of large hoop earrings. For me, Gyspy has thick characters. The stacks of some tops all in different cutting is just marvelous. And hey, heel shooes still matches modern gypsy fashion :)

Other application of scarf for head cover and large hoop earrings. I love the color contrast.

Enjoy the texture and the colors from this stacked outfits. She wore a denim jacket on creamy long top and hanging emerald scarf on the neck. For the bottom part, she wore oversized terracota long pants and black boots. 

Long patterned skirt with a plain top and scarf plus a pair of boots. Always my favorite!

If you are secretly into modern gypsy but not so much about its dresses, why not applying gypsy patterned accesorries such as a shoulder bag.

Other way to emphasize your gypsy style, long necklaces and head band.

Or, patterned dress and a simple hair band with a splash of turquoise and brown.

Yay!! I am so happy to finally share my passion in fashion. 

Thank you and have a great day, friends.

Bring Back The Dutch Doors

Hello friends,

Hope you are doing great :)

I was browsing some interesting sources on interiors few months ago and I fell into love on the first sight with this door called Dutch door or also known as Half door. My mind went back to my childhood in the hometown when I saw this door.

Dutch door is a very helpful door that is divided horizontally into two. The bottom half is usually shut while the top half opens. This way, we can stay safe with the closed bottom and freely connected with the other rooms with its opened top. I imagine that this door will be perfect in a land with fresh air.

Its top half is usually comes in a window format which allows enough light to come in. Ain't this door so helpful?

It can act as an entry door.

or as a room divider which extremely useful in a house with toddlers. Other way to optimize its benefit is making it a stair door. So you can avoid your toddlers from claiming the stair unattentively. I love how the dutch door in this room is painted in deep red to bring the contrast to the dominant white.

So, if you are thinking about making an entry door or a room divider, why not considering a dutch door especially if you are located in a location with fresh and healthy air. 

Hope you enjoy the reading :)

Cheers,

Irene
