bright home with quirky details.

source: EntranceI'm back and as you can see. I've been busy and couldn't find time for blog posts, but now that I can't do anything else after extracting my wisdom tooth it's time to come back.
I like this fresh looking black and white home. Decor in this beautiful home is quite inspiring. Everything is held in monochrome tones, with some green plants and pretty quirky details suck as the Thonet chair on the wall that is hung as a shelf for plant and the wall above teh staircase that is decorated with mixture of black hats and photographs. Beside all this details I really like black staircase that gives the contrast to all white walls. What do you think of this personal decoration ideas and the whole look?
________Kot vidite sem nazaj. Priznam da sem zadnje čase zelo zaposlena in nikakor ne najdem časa za objave, vendar trenutno kaj drugega kot pisanje bloga ne morem oz. ne smem po puljenju modrostnega zoba, tako da je čas da se vrnem s čim svežim.
Všeč mi je svež videz tega precej črno - belega doma. Dekoracija v tem domu je čudovita in precej inspirajoča. Vse je poenoteno in obdržano v enobarvnih odtenkih z nekaj zelenih rastlin in precej domiselnih podrobnosti kot je Thonetov stol, ki je obešen na steno kot polica za rastlino ali pa stena nad stopniščem ki je dekorirana s kombinacijo črnih klobukov in fotografij. Poleg vseh teh detajlov mi je resnično všeč črno stopnišče ki vzpostavi močen kontrast vsem stenam v beli barvi. Kaj vi mislite o teh zelo osebnih idejah za dekoracijo in celotnem izgledu? xo S.

DIY // Thonet chair no.14

 

Photos by: SAOSdesignI've been working hard last two weeks on my own Thonet chair and now I can finally say I love the end result. So for everyone who doesn't have money for new chair just like me, here is solution and maybe just in time for DIY now that holidays are coming.
First of all I had to get the chair and I got mine at flea market. And to ease my restoration I had to be careful in what condition the chair was. I was wary for the wood quality (bark beetle), wobbly legs and overall stability. After that I had to buy sand papers, wood filler, base color, enamel, matt varnish and then went to work.1. Sand the whole chair with sandpaper (P60).
2. Fill in the holes from bark beetle with wood filler and sand again (P220).
3. Get the base color on the chair. (mine was white)
4. For better end result spray paint the whole chair with enamel (2 coats).
5. End the restoration with matt varnish for wood to get the expensive look (2 coats).

Have a peaceful and happy holidays and if you have time do some DIY. (;
_________Zadnja dva tedna sem bila kar zaposlena s prenovo stola Thonet, sedaj pa lahko končno ponosno tudi povem da sem naravnost zaljubljena v končni rezultat.  Torej za vse ki ste bolj na suhem z denarjem kot jaz, tukaj je rešitev kako do ''dragega'' stola za malo denarja. V primeru da boste v prihodnjih dneh imeli veliko prostega časa je morda pravi čas za DIY med prazniki. (:
Prvo kot prvo potrebujete kupiti stol in sama sem ga kupila na vsem poznani spletni strani Bolha.com (če bi želeli Thonetov stol me kontaktirajte).  Za lažjo obnovo stola sem morala biti pozorna na stanje v katerem je stol. Pozorna sem bila predvsem na kvaliteto lesa (lubadar), majave noge in stabilnost. Po vsem tem sem seveda nakupila vse potrebne pripomočke kot so smirkovi papirji, kit za les (belinka), osnovna barva za les (Hellios - bel), emajl (črn), mat lak za les (aqua clou) nato pa se lotila dela.

1. Zbrusite celotno površino stola s smirkovim papirjem (P60).
2. S kitom za les zapolnite luknje, ki jih je povzročil lubadar in ponovno zbrusite vse površine (P220).
3. Prebarvajte stol z osnovno barvo (moja je bila bela).
4. Za boljši končni izdelek emajl nanašajte s pištolo za razprševanje barve (2 nanosa).
5. Zaključite obnovo z mat lakom za les za lepši in bolj naraven izgled (pištola + 2 nanosa). Imejte mirne in vesele praznike, če pa se pojavi kaj prostega časa ustvarite kak DIY. (; xo S.

DIY // marble box.

Photos by: SAOSdesignLately I've been looking at my box that I got for birthday few years ago and started thinking how to make it more me (who likes those flower prints anyway?). And because I just love marble pattern I decided to turn it into marble box! First I had to buy marble self adhesive foil, prepare a pair of scissors and then went to work. 1. Cut the foil right size.
2. Wrap the foil around the sides of the box. Use your finger or ruler to remove the air bubbles out.
3. Make incisions in the corners.
4. Fold the sides to the inside of the box.
5. Repeat the process with the cover.   _____Zadnje čase sem veliko opazovala škatlo ki sem jo dobila za rojstni dan pred leti in premišljevala kako ni jo lahko naredila bolj svojo (komu so sploh všeč cvetlični vzorci?). Zaradi ljubezni do vzorca marmorja sem se odločila da škatlo spremenim v marmornat vzorec! Najprej sem morala kupiti samolepilno folijo z vzorcem marmorja, si pripraviti škarje nato pa sem se lotila dela. 1. Izrežite volijo prave velikosti in oblike.
2. Oblepite folijo okrog škatle. Uporabite svoje prste ali ravnilo da odstranite zračne mehurčke.
3. Naredite zareze na vogalih.
4. Prepognite preostale stranice na notranjo stran škatle.
5. Ponovite postopek s pokrovom. xo S.

AAM + Kinfolk.

Photos by: A Merry MishapGreat news for all the Kinfolk lovers! They've done a redesign not only to their cover, but also to the inside layout. Looks very fresh. Must say I love the dusty shade of pink they used on the cover and the negative space.  Most of all I must say that I love the styling by the fabulous Jennifer Hagler from A Merry Mishap. She got a chance at styling the lates and redesigned winter issue and I can't wait to get my hands on it. For more photos go to their site. _____Super novica za vse ljubitelje revije Kinfolk! Preoblikovali so celotno revijo od naslovnice pa do notranje razporeditve. Izgleda zelo sveže. Moram priznati da mi je zelo všeč prašen odtenek roza, ki so ga uporabili na naslovnici in seveda veliko več praznega prostora. Predvsem moram povedati da sem navdušena na stiliranjem čudovite Jennifer Hagler iz A Merry Mishap. Dobila je čudovito priložnost za stiliranje in fotografiranje preoblikovane zimske izdaje, kar je naredila več kot odlično, sama pa komaj čakam da svoj izvod dobim kmalu v roke. Za več fotografij obiščite njihovo stran. xo S.
