A few months ago I shared our plans to re-decorate the lounge (here), it's taken a little while as we have been busy with the little one and I also had a month off while visiting the family in Brazil, but the time has finally come to reveal it! Before we get picture heavy, this is what we did to update the room: Painted the walls in a modern grey "Urbanite": this was the most dramatic change and all credit goes to my awesome husband who has taken on the project while I was away with Baby L, we have high ceilings and it has taken him almost 4 pots of paint and 4 days to get it done, and...
Blush pink has been on trend for a while now, pairing with copper and tones of beige, white, corals and pastel colours. We have seen it pretty much everywhere. Yes, it is a feminine colour and not one that would be chosen by everyone especially when you are decorating a family home or a couples nest.

I'm using a pale...
A few days ago I posted the first part of my visit to Florense, a stunning furniture and interiors store in Sao Paulo (you can find the first part here), so here is what else I got to see whilst visiting them. Let's continue the tour... The bedroom set up was just breathtaking. A wardrobe with mother-of-pearl finish, a mix of ebony and turquoise furniture, a side-table to die for and equally stylish pendants. But the best kept-secret (and probably something every woman would love to own), was the dressing table with a glass top showcasing a display of accessories underneath! And with plenty of space to organise them by colour, season, or however you wish. #dreambedroom or what? It was time...
