inspiration board: Neon, black & white

Chic, dramatic color combination that I love is Neon+black and white.

It works great, especially with graphic elements – geometric shapes, patterns and dominant typo.

This photo is perfect, to me.

Spring walls

Spring is just around the corner, And it feels like changing and refreshing…

One of home easiest- to-change elements is the wall, so I would like to suggest inspiring ideas, that we can all feel free to modify, quote and create our own version on our home walls.

A charming, cheap, original idea for DIY wall covering.

These book pages look like it was taken from an old sketch book,

you can apply this idea upon music sheets, reading books or even…

Comic books!

Speaking about music sheets…

what a lovely happy idea – taking our favourite song, and put it on our wall?

oh so trendy, yet timeless is world maps motif.

Use a wallpaper or buy a dedicated massive learning map

(there are many offers on second hand stores).

Remember the youth magazines posters we hanged on our wall as kids?

This is quite similar, only this time it really looks good!

 Different image sizes and playful layout makes this example so good!

Cute and unique Wallpaper, really inviting to curl up on the couch

with a stack of newspapers (ie, magazines )

pasted on one wall seems enough, while wallpaper is so dominant.

This proposal got lots of LIKES on the blog Facebook page, and rightly so …

A charming and relatively easy to do -

Almost every student in a rented apartment in Tel Aviv

passed this decorating phase, but Urban outfitters really knows

how to pull it well together, then worth the re-try…

Lovely idea. You can use your own photos, postcards or magazine scraps

to create original message on the wall.

This amazing jacket was created by Tarang Bharti.

 ”…Drawing inspiration from the nostalgia and power of expression of contemporary gothic art and the futuristic approach in process drawings of ‘Zaha Hadid`s’ architecture, I have attempted to create a collection with balanced chaos of asymmetry and structure. “

starry starry night (let’s stay inside)

This amazing  projector projects thousands of stars in your room ceiling.

It has a  rotating base with compass-point alignments, so you can set up your AstroStar by aligning it according to your location and the time of the year, so it can project a map of the clear night’s sky all around you. You can also change it to the accurately track movement of the heavens as the year progresses.

Now let’s talk about the visual – it is stunning! It turns any room into a spectacular dramatic location, your home becomes unrecognizable!

 
 

Grayish blue

Grayish blue is my new obsession colour this month. It reminds me of frozen wintersand warm homes, and since here, where we live, winter is rarely really cold, it has this romantic aaura to it. I believe this color is warmer than a regular blue, it is elegent, works perfectly with many colors – yellow, green, ted, white, beige, black.

here are some photos I really like – all in grayish blue.

A rainy day

Yesterday, I stepped out during  such a flood, that less than twenty meters was enough for getting myself totally soaked.
On a regular day, umbrellas does not turn me on, but today, I inside a Zara store, I found myself  fascinated by a translucent big umbrella I saw there, probably due to the memory of that morning flood.
Therefore, starting now, I am officially a big umbrellas fan. No more getting caught un prepared!
Not only, that, starting this fall I am going for the biggest, stylish, firmest ones. Here is a great collection of  beautiful umbrellas:

Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne

Suzanne was Leonard Cohen’s first song I have ever Known and loved. Since, I adore any thing at all this man writes.

This enchanted song always pulled my imagination – for years I am playing it over and over in my stereo and in my head, trying to figure that character of Suzanne.

What does she look like, what kind of clothes she wears, how her place look like.

 I am working on a new collection of fashion jewelry, and this song is inspiring me. I would like to share with you images I have collected over the years, inspired by Suzanne, I used them in my inspiration board for the collection.
