House doctor | Moments 2014

I was slipping through the pages of House Doctor's new catalogue 2014 Moments and among those beautiful compositions I selected some images that captured my attention. The collection focuses on perfect imperfections, in other words it aims to experiment with creativity and contrasts. The catalogue includes some Christmas stylings that I'll keep on mind when the time comes!

Estaba ojeando el nuevo catalogo 2014 de House Doctor y entre las varias lindas composiciones he seleccionado estas imagenes. El lema de la colección es "perfectas imperfecciones", y la idea es experimentar decorando con creatividad y contrastes. El catalogo incluye unas decoraciones navideñas muy soft que tendré en consideración en el momento oportuno! Si te gustaron las fotos y queres ver el resto fíjate aquí.

Luona | Simple furniture

While I was checking over Pinterest looking for some inspiration for my son's room renovation I bumped into finnish brand Luona. I love these simple and unpretentious designs. I think I'll try to build a box for Lorenzo when we get back to Argentina next month.

Mientras buscaba inspiración para renovar la habitación de mi hijo en Pinterest, encontré el brand finlandes Luona. Me encantan estos diseños simples y sin pretensión. Creo que me voy a animar a construir un cubo para Lorenzo cuando volvamos a la Argentina el mes que viene.

80s vibes apartment

This is the apartment where dutch graphic designer Jessica Nielsen  lives with her boyfriend in Rotterdam. I love the way the 80s style details I could spot in this space look so contemporary and cool. See more pictures here.

Bolia | 2015

I just got some pictures from Bolia's new collection,  a mix of colours, boxes and origami like objects, with a friendly spirit, I like it!

Que linda la nueva colección de Bolia, una mezcla de colores, cajitas y objetos que recuerdan los origami, con espíritu amigable, me encanta!

DIY | Origami book art

Some time ago during a rainy weekend I folded some old books, taking inspiration from the origami books that I found on the blog weekdaycarnival. Here are some pictures of the results of that compulsive folding! I like the way they look in the library, and it's really easy to do, you just need to fold the corners of each page, depending on how wide you fold you'll get many different shapes... it's actually a pretty addictive activity in the end!!

Hace un tiempo me pasé un fin de semana lluvioso doblando las páginas de unos viejos libros, tomando inspiración de los origami que encontré en el blog weekdaycarnival. Me gusta como quedan en la biblioteca, y son muy fáciles de realizar, solo hay que doblar los ángulos de cada página y según cuánto dobles obtendrás una u otra forma, las combinaciones son infinitas... al final es hasta adictivo doblar y doblar y doblar!!!

White string shelf on a grey wall

I love the string shelf, especially when it is used as a work station like in this picture. I think I'll take inspiration from this combination to set up an office in our hall.

Pencil factory apartment

I generally dislike flower boxes, they kind of remind me the eighties aesthetic, but in this case it works out really good since it defines the living room area without creating a visual barrier. This danish aprtment, a former pencil factory, shows how well white, black and wood play together to create a balanced yet unconventional place.

Los floreros divisorios usualmente no me gustan porque me recuerdan una cierta estetica ochentosa, pero en este caso tengo que hacer una excepción ya que las plantas definen el area living sin separar o crear barreras visuales. Este departamento Danés, recuperado de una fabrica de lápizes, muestra lo bien  que funcionan juntos el blanco el negro y la madera, creando unos ambientes equilibrados pero lejos de ser convencionales.

I like the wooden boxes in this picture, and the bike hanging from the ceiling.

Danish prefab holiday house

via aprilandmay

I've always been a fan of prefab houses, they are sustainable and it takes a very short time to have them built. I particularly like this one because of its white interiors, the high ceilings and the big windows. 

Designed by Lykke+Nielsen for Moenhuset.

Adoro las casas prefabricadas, son sustentables y se construyen rápido. Me enamoré de esta en particular por sus techos altos y los ventanales abiertos al verde. 

El disegno es de Lykke+Nielsen para Moenhuset.

Shadow

Just a shadow on the wall, it was gone in seconds...

Solo una sombra en la pared, se fué en unos segundos...

Solo un'ombra sulla parete, se n'è andata in un attimo...

Cactus mix

These pictures are from my mother's balcony, I love this mix of cactus and succulents! Have a nice week end!!

MOEBE | Danish design brand

I just got to know this fresh Danish design brand from a post that I read today on the blog AMerryMishapBlog. MOEBE's goal, according to its founders, is to keep things simple and create honest products. I really love that concept! The wooden dinosaur and the clips are already on my wishlist...

And this is a jump into the past: I used to press alpine flowers during summer when I was a child, then I would use them to decorate letters. I never put them into a frame, but it's actually a very good idea, this inspires me a new DIY project!!
