And a Quote of the Day:

“Matchy-matchy is not for me. I don’t want things to be too perfect. I want there to be relationships with texture and color, and sometimes it’s more about the contrast that chimes."—Fashion designer Peter Som, September 05

Looking for inspirations? Go to Poland!

I am so proud to be Polish! I can't imagine to be born anywhere else. And why I love this polish-being so much? Because of its uniqueness: customs or design styles reflect beautifully the influences of East and West, while maintaining its extraordinary character.
"New Folk" is a furniture collection designed by Anna Stepkowska for VOX. She mixed modern shapes with folk-polish craftmenship and folk art. On the fronts Anna used gorgeous ornamental scraps and patterns inspired by folk costumes vary by region (brightly colored and decorated with embroidery).
All right, now I'm going to leave you with these outstanding pieces of furnitures and accessories which mix modernity with a fashionable folk accent:











One of my favorite: New Folk Pouffe









And a New Folk Chair













New Folk Cabinet









Accessories for everyday use

A little bit of Eco

I used to be quite negative about whole this Junk Style but recently I read very interesting article about furniture recycling. And, like in a fairy tale, all my mixed feelings vanished and I utterly loved it. Who knew ecofriendly design really can look good! So, I had decided to look for some examples of total furniture makeovers and here is what I found. I think they are brilliant, but, oh well, judge yourself:



Who says that shopping trolley is just for...shopping?













The Hoop Table: made from planet-friendly bamboo


lovin’ it..It’s so vintage!




Not just "sofa for two"...i would love to crash on it...like 2 in 1: sofa n' bath, gorgeous!






Behind the desk like this,I wouldn't mind work at all, would you?




"Flying to the moon...lalalalala"





I didn’t know that you actually can make a cushion with ethically sourced wool and cotton...thought it is made simply with wool and cotton...am such an ignorant  I wish I had one of those...




And definitely I will go for this, unfortunately still only a prototype; laptop-of-the-future (has a renewable cedar casing and corn-based bio plastic elements)

Hey guys.

FYI: this year NO StopDrinkingStopSmokingGetInShape resolutions!There is only one: start writing! Hope ya'll enjoy as much as I will! All the best in this New Decade!

I am upset!

I am upset, because I totally do not understand people. I mean it! What is wrong with me, am asking politly?! How is it possible that “people” are such ignorants? Please give me an answer: why YOU do not like things witch are not massive-produced, things which are unconventional?
Do you know how I got here, to this frustrating point? I went to visit a friend of mine. She had recorded “Showhouse”(RTE). For those who might not know what’s this, I explain: it is a show where two interior designers compete decorating two, exactly the same houses. Then, public judge them and pick their joice. And this is what I find so depressing. Seriously, most of the winners were boring, were unatractive and SO badly massive- produced! Wrrrr! And “loosers” were mostly interesting, unusual, lovely inspirational and alternative people with amazing concepts.
So here come my questions: why are YOU so afraid of something different? because I trurly doubt that you really like this “everywhere-the-same-style”. Does it really bother you if the tiles in the bathroom are black instead of white and the master bedroom has its chubby-chic instead of sparky glam? Can you really imagine living in an elegant and sofisticated house without personal touch? If am mistaken, I will admit it, just please give me some reasonable answers. Cheers.
