shopping spree
That is no news that girls love diamonds, but I reckon we love the home decor as much!!
Designers seem to share the enthusiasm for the shiny little rocks as we can find more and more of inspired accessories! Probably because they are so elegant, chic and can mix with any style!
Here are my favorites!
1 // I love this West Elm side table and I love its price as well
2// This tray comes in 4 colors and will look great in a modern kitchen
3// Who is not dreaming of a hanging terrarium? I definitely am
4// The prettiest paper sculptures in white and GOLD from Etsy!
5// Would die from happy if I could get one of those lamps for my bedroom!
6// Yes, it's a diamond pattern plate! So perfect for Christmas table!
7// Simple and chic light pendant
8// I bet wine tastes better in this one!
9// Famous Woodsmithe tools
10 // Nothing prettier than a pink diamond-I have to get one of those bottle stoppers from Kate Spade NY!!
11// Another awesome sculpture for a collector - hand made Vasa Blade pieces
Tempted to see all interior design related places in London, I went to visit Alfies Antique Market
in Edgware Road last week and I have to say it was pretty cool. I was expecting big and busy entrence but instead I found it hidden in a side street, inconspicuous and calm.You recognize being in the right place by the antiques looking at you from the windows. And when you are already inside, there is the whole new world materializing in front of you.
Everything from the floor to the ceiling is screaming vintage and the place and even people working there seem like from different times. I really loved the place, because of so many wonderful things you can find there: furnitures, lamps, chandeliers, kitchen trays, silver and gold cutlery, original vintage perfume bottles, glasses, buckets, frames, jewelery, vases, sculptures etc etc.
There is a lot of original sofas, armchairs, coffee tables but also a lot of affordable decorative stuff you would just love to have at home. I fell in love with the set of purple armchairs from the 50s and a dark pink sofa, that I unfortunately couldn't capture on pictures because of the place policy!
If you have few spare hours I'd definitely recommend a trip to see and maybe buy some home decor!
Here are few pictures I took thanks to the kindness of the shopkeepers that let me!
Lovely loupe with a chess board print!
Crystal sugar-bowl ans millions of vases!
I want a mirror like that in my bedroom!
Silver tray
Black lacquered desk
What a beautiful mirror/wall lamp
Glass heaven!
Wonderful original French frames with Svarovsky crystals!
My totally favourite- wooden Indian elephant!
Vintage bottle perfumes from the 30's.
To visit the market, get off at Edgware Road station (Hamersmith&City or District lines). Map here
Hey gorgeous creatures! It's almost weekend here in Europe and since the sun finally showed up I am even more glad about it. We didn't see sun since ages here in Paris, it started to get depressing. Anyyywayy it's weekend and weekend means seeing my girlfriends and this means there will be some good wine involved! We are having raclette tonight in my cousin's place and obviously there is no raclette without a wine (come on). It probably should be served with red one but since we are big suckers for a white moelleux... Here is a picture from last week's raclette (no, we don't do it every weekend lol!) during potatoes boiling, already with a glass of wine in my hand.
But I wasn't about to talk about fromage et charcuterie but about my new obsession: the wine stoppers. To be honest I didn't even know that they can be so pretty! It's such a cute and useful gadget, great accessory for the table and kitchen.And makes drinking wine and dining even more fabulous! Aren't' they awesome??
Have a nice weekend everyone!! I hope you have a lot of sun!
Christmas is coming so soon!! If you didn't decorate your Christmas Tree yet, here are some cute items.
