Vintage finds with a mid century twist by Kibster

Kim has such a great eye when it comes to picking the perfect vintage items from thrift stores and display them on her etsy shop, Kibster. They are sleek (as sleek as an aged item can be), chic and practical with  subtle references to danish and scandinavian design. I completely love the raffia suitcase in the top photo and the chrome orb lamp, both would be such a pretty addition to my home! You can also find Kim blogging here.

Honeymoon Petra, Santorini

Honeymoon Petra Villas,Santorini. Photo Christos Drazos. See more at www.myparadissi.com

I bet that it is this feeling of pure awe while looking at the very end of the blue horizon that makes the Aegean islands so beloved and popular. Santorini is well famous about that, the villas and villages, white carved rocks onto the harsh and stark mountains, as if ready to dive into the deep blue waters, release their existence from the burdens of  concrete life, something far more primitive and divine. 
I got into a complete poetic mood while browsing through the photos of Honeymoon Petra Villas in Santorini. Its outdoors are beyond admiration; the small alleys, the undefined pergolas, the unexpected touches of green and the familiar cycladic curves are the best possible setting to enjoy the breathtaking view from.

Weekend inspiration

Stripe bed linens and shabby coastal decor
Coastal inspired styling

Hello, my friends, how are you?
It is extremely hot today here (it's literally more than 33o C) which makes me wonder why have I not hit the beach yet and let my spirit indulge into its cool sea waters? Rhetorical question, as I am about to as soon as I finish some things that lay on top of my todo list. Anyway, the weather is not going to change for the next many months (summer is here, yay!) so now it's time to balance summer pleasures with actual working on this really tempting island that I live in.
On another note, keeping the indoors fresh while the warm weather lasts is vital and a coastal inspired styling really helps to do so. Shabby woods, nautical stripes, crisp white linens and some beach keepsakes from previous vacation are only a few things you can use to create the feeling.
So, does it feel like summer where you live? I'd love to know!
