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!

Folder: Laundry

Coastal inspired laundry room
I've never had a laundry room in any of the apartments I've lived so far, but if I ever had one, it'd most probably be as fresh and bright as this one. I totally adore the blue appliances, the stripy rug and the seagrass baskets! The fitted bench looks practical as well (someone has to keep you company while getting done with the chores, don't you agree?)


P.s. Steal this look with this rug and this basket.

DIY: T-shirt plant hanger

Upcycle a t-shirt into a macrame plant hanger

A couple of months ago I shared with you a cutie diy on how to macrame hang tiny eggshell planters. Today, we grow bigger and hang the real thing (your average size planter that is) with this easy macrame tutorial by Walk in Love. Brooke upcycles a worn emerald green t-shirt for this diy and the result, as you can see, is totally awesome given the basic materials being used. See the step-by-step here.
