It has been so (happily!) busy between friends, family and a few seaside escapes that time flew by so fast over the last weeks in Greece. I had a few projects in mind for our Athens apartment, but honestly, is it even worth spending time on cosmetic changes that will lead to more cosmetic changes if… Continue Reading
We’ve been in Greece for the last couple of weeks spending time with our family, friends, enjoying the beautiful weather, the beaches and, of course, amazing food. But before leaving our home in the San Francisco Bay Area, I spent some time making sure that I would leave the house tidy. When putting away the… Continue Reading
Even though I’m in Greece right now and I’ll be spending the next few weeks visiting family, friends and maybe a few of our favorite places, I really wanted to show you a couple of projects that are already finished in our San Francisco Bay Area home, which I didn’t have the time to post. While I was putting away the school work… Continue Reading
I just love it when I can put together a little project in under 10 minutes. Especially when the result is both pretty and unexpected. Even though we aren’t living in a beach house and our home isn’t located by the sea, I still wanted something “summer looking” by the front door. I took apart an old starfish… Continue Reading
I hope you enjoyed my step by step tutorials on how to make my paper napkin covered Easter eggs (Part I) and my favorite way of displaying them (Part II). Besides creating, the other best part is sharing. I made a few extra of these lovely and delicate Easter eggs to give as a present… Continue Reading
You’ll love this project! It’s easy, fast, beautiful, original, inexpensive and much more! The supplies were all from one store, so there was no running around to gather everything.

I brought this little guy home today from Anthropologie. He’s a Scottish Terrier bottle opener made entirely of metal. I couldn’t resist his mystic charm and noble allure, so I grabbed him off the sale basket the very moment I saw him. At the register, I was asked to pay even less than the reduced… Continue Reading
After finishing my daughter’s beautiful upholstered headboard (if you haven’t seen it yet, you can see it here), the wall around it seemed extremely empty. There are two windows on that same wall, one the right and one on the left of the bed but they’re high up and there was plenty of space underneath them for… Continue Reading
I’ve had this ceramic decorative vase for many years. It used to be a silver shiny metallic color. My sister Irene had bought it in Romania, had packed it carefully in her suitcase, brought it to Greece (that’s where we lived at the time) and gave it to me as a Christmas present. Since it… Continue Reading
While I was shopping at IKEA the other day looking for a couple of things that I’ll need for a project or two which I’ m currently working on (so excited to show you!), I came across this magnetic board. Nice style, nice size, nice price. I thought it would look great on that big wall… Continue Reading
