What is bliss? Actually I should rephrase this question – What is bliss for you and right now? I understand, it has different meaning for each of us and it varies with time. If you ask me right now, bliss to me is soaking in Sun, reading a book just by the sea (or a […]

I have always wished for a window seat, as long as I can remember. While I never had a window seat, as a child I had my bed pushed to the window and I would spend hours by the window. Windows are my most favorite part of a house. I love long wide windows, as […]

This apartment in Sweden is only 71 square meter (roughly 764 square feet) but packs a beautiful outdoor area. I often wonder how good the Swedes are in decorating their very small apartments. Most apartments that I see are quite small but charming and practical. This one (found from Alvhem) is no different.

I have written about Minimalism and my views on it earlier here. I love simple minimal rooms and keep going back to them. There is some strange soothing feeling to it. These minimal rooms feel so fresh to me. Mind that I do not like the absolute bare rooms though. For me minimalism is a […]

Few days ago, I wrote about roof terrace ideas. (You can find it here). I love open outdoor spaces and I would love to utilize them as much as I can. As much as I would love to have a roof terrace, I realized, I have only the space of a balcony, and I guess […]

I am lucky to live in the Netherlands, for it is THE country of tulips. The tulip fields are becoming a riot […]

Do you like dark colors? Until recently, my choice of color was only white. I still love all white interiors, but somehow, I don’t know how and when, I started liking extreme moody dark walls for contrast. I wouldn’t want the dark walls in my entire house though. I would be happy to have just […]

Happy Monday! After a long week of constant rain and gloom, it is sunny again. Well not really sunny, bit I could see partial sunshine through the clouds. It isn’t raining at least. The moment it stops raining and the moment the clouds clear, I can see signs of Spring. This morning when I was […]

Today is one of those days, you know…. raining all day long, no sign of sunshine, very dark and gloomy. I was happy thinking the dark, gloomy days of winter are over, but how wrong I was! I needed to switch on my Himalayan salt lamp once again. I do try to be more optimistic, […]
