C O S magazine.

Photos: SAOSdesignNe dolgo nazaj sem dobila po pošti presenečenje od COS-a. Najvdušenje ob njihovi reviji s kolekcijo pomlad/poletje 2017 in seveda mnogo drugih navdihujočih člankov je še vedno prisotno. Poleg tega da so na kreativen način predstavlili nove kose oblačil, so se posvetili tudi osnovnim materialom in umetnikom, ki delujejo z njimi. Ravno zato je več kot le revija z modnimi smernicami. Za vse, ki bi jo želeli imeti v svoji lasti imate opcijo, da revijo vzamete v eni izmed njihovih trgovin ali preko spleta ob nakupu kakega kosa dodate še izdajo revije, ki je seveda zastonj. Lahko pa jo tudi preberete kar na njihovi strani (samo v angleškem jeziku)._________Not long ago I got a surprise in my mail from COS. The excitement when I saw that it was their new magazine with collection spring/summer 2017 and of course a lot of other inspiring articles is still here. Besides the fact that they presented their new collection, they also decided to inform about basic materials and the artists who work with them. Just because of that it's not just another magazine with fashion trends for the season. If you would like to have one for yourself, you can get a copy in their stores or you can add it to your online shopping bag - for free of course. Another option is to read it on their web site. xo S.

Symphony in Three Movements. | m o b i l e

photo: SAOSdesign

Že od nekdaj me kakršna koli oblika mobila navdušuje. Seveda je bil moj prvi narejen doma in je bil sestavljen iz origami ptic. Ko pa sem zasledila Flensted mobiles sem se odločila da enega nujno potrebujem doma, saj so odličen umetniški element v kotu sobe ali pa celo pomirjujoč element ob pogledu nanje. 

K sreči tokrat ni bilo potrebe po spletnem nakupovanju, saj jih v obširni zbirki prodajajo prav v Kubusu v Ljubljani. Pri toliko izbire bi lahko bilo težko izbrati pravega, a sama prisegam na osnovne oblike in veliko gibanja pri mobile-u. Ravno zaradi tega je Symphony in Three Movements moja izbira, kot tudi dejstvo da je bila inspiracija za mobile črpana iz glasbe. Svojega sem seveda kupila že nekaj časa nazaj a se skoraj vsakodnevno zasačim pri zamišljenem opazovanju le-tega. Upam da vam je všeč in da morda najdete kakega tudi zase. 

Kreativen teden vam želim!

Since I can remember, I have been enthusiastic over any kind of mobiles. Of course my first was home made and from origami birds. But when I noticed Flensted mobiles I decided that I really need one for myself. Why? They are great art element in the corner of a room or even calming element when you look at them. 

Lucky me I did not need to online shop because they are sold in extensive collection in Ljubljana city center Kubus shop. With so much selection it could be hard to choose the right one, but I am a big fan of simple shapes and lots of movement. That is one of the reason that Symphony in Three Movements is my choice, as the fact it was inspired from listening to the music. I bought mine long time ago, but every day I find myself thoughtfully watching it. I hope you find mine appealing and that you will be able to find one for your self as well. 

Have a creative week!

galaxy globe mobiles.

Danes sem v spletni trgovini Fine little day našla te čudovite mobile. Narejeni so ročno iz medenine in marmorja, ter na voljo v različnih barvah, velikostih in oblikah. Oblikovali so jih spretni prsti danske oblikovalke Kaja Skytte. Ravno kombinacija materialov in preprostost v obliki je bilo tisto kar me je pritegnilo. Enega bi vsekakor želela imeti doma v spalnici kot umetniško delo, saj imam trenutno le dva origami ptička. Kaj misliš ti?

I've spotted these mobiles today on Fine little day shop. They are handmade from brass and marble and are available in various colours, sizes and designs. They are designed by danish designer Kaja Skytte. It was the combination of materials and simplicity in shape that cought my attention. One of those would be a prefect art piece for bedroom instead of two origami birds that I have at the momnent. What do you think?

That's all for now I just wanted to check your plans and show you this gorgeous bright apartment - only 57 square meters filled with beautiful interior pieces and decoration. What's not to like?

Vesel petek vsem skupaj! Ste pripravljeni na odličen vikend s super plani? Jaz vem da sem. Po celem tednu trdega dela od jutra do večera komaj čakam. Vem da so prvi tedni vedno najtežji, vendar se je ta ravnokar končal in jaz sem pripravljena na iskanje novih hotspot-ov na Nizozemskem!
To je za enkrat vse, želela sem samo preveriti kako grejo kaj vaši plani saj že nekaj časa ni bilo nobenega glasu od mene, poleg tega pa sem želela pokazati to čudovito svetlo stanovanje - samo 57 kvadratnih metrov napolnjenih z lepimi kosi pohištva in dekoracijo. Kaj tukaj ne izgleda dobro?

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.

green wall.

As you may know I'm not a big fan of colors, but lately I've noticed that colorful walls are becoming trendy even in nordic style apartments. I call them muted colors and must say that in small quantities they really give the room some mystery and depth, besides that they make the contrast needed in all white rooms. This green wall is a nice example of added wall color done right. Paired with dark textures and in a deep shade of green color it's just perfect. See the entire place here and notice that this is just one wall not the entire place. Another plus with that kind of coloring is that is just one wall so it's not a big project when you'll decide to change it!

Kot verjetno že veste sama nisem prevelik navdušenec nad barvami, vendar zadnje čase opažam da barvne stene postajajo hip tudi v stanovanjih z nordijskim stilom. Sama sem jih poimenovala kar utišane barve in moram priznati da v majhnih količinah prostorom dodajo nekaj skrivnosti in globine, poleg tega pa naredijo več kot potreben kontrast v belih sobah. Ta zelena stena je lep primer dodane barve na steni, ki je narejena pravilno. V kombinaciji s temnimi teksturami in v odtenku globoke zelene barve je ravno pravšnja. Ogled celotnega stanovanja je tukaj, in če boste pozorni boste videli da je samo ta stena v barvi in ne celotno stanovanje. Dodaten plus s takšnim načinom barvanja je dejstvo da gre za le eno steno in tako to ni velik projekt ko se odločite za drugo barvo!

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.

DIY // concrete diamond

photo: SAOSdesign

Today is tha last day before my departure to Netherland, so next time I'll post I'll be in Utrecht. Wohooo! For the past week I have been working hard every day and as a proof here is this simple DIY in which I was able to express my love for raw materials. So making my own paperweight was a perfect new project, whit a help of my boyfriend of course. 

The first step is making you own template. The diamond I made was created with a program Pepakura Designer. That's the beauty of it: you can make whatever you want! I then printed the template on a paper grammage 350g. After I cut out with scissors and folded the template I waxed it with candle. Only thing I needed to do was to glue the outer edges with tape and with that prevent the leaking and make it waterproof. I mixed the concrete according to instructions & waited for two days to dry. To emphasize the spike at the top I sanded the whole diamond. And that's it!

_____

Danes je zadnji dan pred odhodom na Nizozemsko tako da se naslednjič javim iz Utrechta. Wohooo! Čez teden in vikend sem bila pridna in delovna, kot dokaz je tale preprosti DIY v katerem sem lahko izrazila svojo ljubezen do surovih materialov. Naredila sem preprost obtežilnik za papir seveda s pomočjo fanta, ki se bolj spozna na beton. 

Za začetek je potrebno izdelati svojo predlogo. Sama sem naredila diamant mrežo pa ustvarila s programom Pepakura Designer. Predlogo sem potem natisnila na papir gramature 350g. Ko je predloga izrezana in upognjena sem jo povoskala s svečo. Potrebno je bilo le še zlepiti zunanje robove z lepilnim trakom tako da so vsi spoji vodotesni. Beton sem zmešala po navodilih, ga vlila v model in počakala dva dni da se posuši. Da sem poudarila špico na vrhu diamanta sem za konec cel diamant še zbrusila. To je to!

DIY // Eames elephant.

photos by: SAOSdesignA month ago I posted a photo of two Eames elephants on my IG account and because there was big interest in them I decided to show you this cheap and easy DIY on blog.I've always loved simple and quirky shapes, but have never found a reason to spend that kind of money on plastic elephant like this one or even more expensive smaller one made from bentwood. Just like always I was browsing the internet and I came across a template from which I can do my own paper Eames elephant. Really wonderful! I made one in black and one in white grid paper. The white one is half smaller that the original template, the black one is one more time smaller. The instructions are very simple: cut  out the template, bend the cut out into shape and glue the two pieces together. To look more like the original bend the legs and the ears little. One little suggestion: elephants can be used on a party as place cards.

Happy almost weekend!

_____Pred enim mesecem sem na instagramu objavila fotografijo dveh Emaes slončkov in ker je bilo veliko zanimanje zanju sem se odločila da poceni in preprost DIY predstavim na blogu.Že od nekdaj so mi všeč preproste in domiselne oblike, vendar do sedaj še nisem našla razloga da bi zapravila veliko vsoto denarja na plastičnem slončku kot je ta oz. na dražjem a manjšem modelčku iz krivljenega lesa. Tako sem kot ponavadi med brskanjem po internetu naletela na predlogo iz katere lahko sama naredim papirnatega Eames slončka. Res čudovito! Sama sem se poigrala s črnim in belim papirjem z mrežo. Belega sem naredila polovične velikosti kot je predloga, črnega pa še enkrat manjšega. Navodila so preprosta: izrežite predlogo, prepognite izrezano v obliko in zlepite skupaj. Da bi slon izgledal bolj podoben originalu ga upornite tudi v nogah in ušesih.

Še en manjši predlog: slončke lahko na zabavi uporabite kot kartice z imeni.

Vesel skorajšnji konec tedna!
