Reused Shutters or The Way How to Exploit Them?

Old shutters are quite often leftovers after reconstruction of homes. 

Sometimes you might find them thrown away (which I don't understand how is this possible) or very often in flea markets costing a few "moneys".  If you are lucky enough you may discover ones which remember the story of certain ages.

Vintage rustic shutters are made from solid wood so no way it can be treated as waste. It is a piece of home, garden, spot, nook... decoration!

Somewhere I found a very nice expression which I think is just right when it comes to shutters: "Trash to Treasures"!

Take a tour to charming appeal for home decor!

Window Shopping for Mother's Day

Hello to all! 

It's been a while since I posted...

But now back to circle with lots of ideas and inspirations.

Very soon we all will have a celebration honoring mothers. 

Mostly in all countries it's on the first weekend of May, actually the first May Sunday! I say mostly countries.. in England it has been in March... 

Anyway, I think it is very nice occasion to show love to your mother, bombard attention, spend a day with her! Simply to have a special moments together :)

Of course it is not necessary to get loads of presents but it is still nice to give something special, cozy, lovely, cute, sweet... The bouquet of flowers is the nicest gesture along with anything else to make this day (Mother's Day) more special.

I took some time and picked up few gift ideas for this day from Etsy. Take a look in it. Beautiful things. You might like them or simply get an idea and create your own! Why not? Two weeks still left in advance and it's still enough of time do make something extraordinary!

Life Purpose

The goal is set!

Long-term purpose of our life!

 This is a truly visual statement -  

the real reason why every single person should exist is above! 

Every person has a purpose of the life.

...everyone..! 

To discover your own purpose is the easiest part.

But to keep it with you and follow each day 

- this is the hardest part!

With the beginning of spring new winds blew in and since when this sign helped to figure out the purpose of our lives.

Have made myself a sign which am going to frame it 

and keep it in front of us!

Visual sign jazz-us-up already!! 

That helps if you need a real inspiration to drive you to
the certain point but you still need THE lunge, try yourself! 

;)  
xo,
very positive minded & inspired

Kraft Paper

Hi there!

I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend and a short getaway from all your daily basis?!

 

Today I would like to share with you the goods which inspires me a lot! I have been admiring for kraft paper and its goods a long while ago. 

Kraft paper is very economical and offers many beneficial properties. Finally I decided to buy it and now have a huge roll of kraft paper sitting in the corner for the purpose of wrapping up all our linen goods and some special pack for making greetings, thanks cards, catch ups, wishing tags, labels and lots of other wonders...

Look what I have discovered on Etsy. Aren't they gorgeous?

Oh, yeah... they are!

It is said that: "People who want to be more natural and creative with their gift wrap may choose to use this paper for wrapping gifts, often embellishing with other natural elements or using markers or stencils to create a unique design."

What would you say? 

What do you use the kraft paper for?

By the way, have you finished all chocolate treats left from Easter holiday yet? We still have some left :)
