We're moving!!

We thought it would be nice to come back to our own place after the wedding. Living in a shared house was supposed to be a temporary measure after we came back from South America, but somehow we stayed in this house for almost two years! I think it was meant to be as it means that we'll start our married life in a completely new place that will be only ours. Of course, and despite everything we have to do, I couldn't resist starting looking for inspiration on decorating the new place. These are some of my Flickr favourites. I'm going for a relaxed vibe and I seem to be drawn to white, blue and yellow (of course yellow!)

Lucyna Moodie

This photo seen on Purple Area took me to Lucyna Moodie's online portfolio. I love how she uses colour and flowers for special touches in the spaces she styles.

Pinchando en la foto de arriba, que vi en Purple Area, encontré el portfolio de Lucyna Moodie. Me encanta como usa el color y las flores para añadir toques especiales a los espacios que decora.

House inspiration

I love the house of the couple behind ZAI. Simple, uncluttered and beautiful. More here.

Me encanta la casa de los creadores de la tienda ZAI. Simple, sin objetos innecesarios, y preciosa. Podéis ver más fotos aquí.

I love blogs!

Me encanta la blogesfera, He estado obsesionada con este cojin por algún tiempo. Tenía la foto pero no recordaba donde lo había visto ni quién era el diseñador. Hasta que vi un post sobre la creadora en el blog de Decor8. Mostraba tambien mochas otras de sus creaciones y links to las tiendas de la diseñadora. Yupii!!

This is why I love blogging. I have been obsessed with this cushion for some time. I had the photo but I couldn’t remember where I have seen it or who had made it. But then... I saw a post about her creator on the great Decor8. There were also many more fantastic cushions and a link to the designer’s shops! Yay!

Would you live in a church?

¿Vivirías en una Iglesia? ¿No? Yo me lo pensaría si es tan acogedora como esta, que ha sido reconvertida en pisos.

Would you live in a church? No? I think I’d consider it… if it looks as gorgeous as this one, which has been transformed into flats.

Además, me parece que recuperar y conservar edificios antiguos para darles otra función es una idea genial. Uno de mis restaurantes/bares de cocktails favoritos en Oxford es Frevd, que está en una antigua iglesia.

I also think that renovating buildings and giving them a new purpose is great! One of my favourite restaurants/cocktail bars in Oxford is Frevd, inside an old church.

Puede que a alguien le parezca una falta de respeto, ¿es así? Pero ¿no es mejor que dejar que el edificio se caiga?

Some people may consider this disrespectful. Do you? But surely, this is better than leaving the building crumble away…
