Favorite Architectural and Design Things in 2014!

Hello everyone! Let's begin the year with some "good" ideas... Smiles...

If I built our house now from ground up, it would likely have these amazing interior & exterior elements...

Also, as you may notice in our own house and my personal style... I prefer to be eclectic and more random with a plan rather than keeping the visual flow of the house too much the same ... It can be nice too of course but lacks the European contrasts and gives less space for creative personal touch. Things still have to work together of course but not too matched up or else it looks like a show home....Right?

Hallway seat update!

And some more regular life things that are happening...with us in Calgary.

Yes, thank you all ladies for wonderful comments & tips on the "sharp Wall Street" tuffet that is quite fun and colourful too... you were right, it looks wonderful in our hallway. 

You be the judge of that please! 

Normally, I keep the colours less bright, but our nook as you may have noticed reflects some of the same hues as this newly purchased tuffet (teal, blue, yellow, tuscan pink-red) and today we have some colourful  flowers on the table there in Tina's beautiful silver CREST from her Enchanted Shop! With time, this piece looks just perfectly aged, check it out HERE when it was new. 

On another note, our son Radovan has grown a lot since he was 3 (half a year ago exactly). He was 100 cm then and he is 106 cm now! And he is proudly almost always the tallest for his age ... 

Here he is:

And what makes us happy everyday besides the tons of hugs and kisses we give each other and to daddy is the unbelievable amount of SUN shine we get in Calgary! 

Here in front of our house, we play despite the snow...looking forward to the spring in Europe soon...

Hope you are having a happy week as well.

XO, Z
