Hello Lovelies! wonderful interior styling by the happy home. You'll find exactly 101 ideas for Spring makeover of your place right here. As to me, I tackled several rooms. First, I have decluttered! Then... The living-room: I have added some "Spring flair" to my living-room, by replacing rich brown velvet pillows by a light off-white cotton and one accent linen one. To add some pizzazz, I gathered all my chartreuse accessories just by the now off-white sofa. Mine is more of a settee, really. Cute. ;-) The color... [Lire la suite]

Hello Lovelies! and Happy Monday! Yes, let's start the week with a wonderful discovery I made recently... detail of a painting by Line - from her website I just discovered Line's art via the decor8 blog and just had to put an emphasis on it! photo-montage by Holly Becker for her wonderful decor8 blog.

Hello Lovelies! Spring comes in all kinds of blue hues... photo by Beautymist. So far, i’ve been to the countryside for a day and a half. Had a long walk in the woods.
