Howdee every bodee.
Ok so here comes a rant. Ikea lately their assembling instructions are not the best, but neither is the quality of their products what it used to be.
For instance this piece. To put together was no fun. Plus they hqve this new method of pushing on pieces of metal to secure the pieces together, let me tell you, the screw driver slipped a few times and blood was shed.... that resulted in a whole lot of swearing. Yup

So if you are thinking of hiring me to assemble ikea pieces for you. Buy ear plugs or go for a long walk till Im done 🤣🤣🤣

May everyone find hope, peace and love in their hearts.
Remember that if we want something better going forward, we need to take better actions, and those better actions never come from a place of fear or by looking in the rear view mirror.
Life as we have lived it before is over.
There hasn't been a better time to break the old patterns and create better ways of living independently, better ways of living with purpose. Only those who are brave and look ahead will create for themselves great things. Those who keep reminiscing in the past will only create for themselves pain, until they realize one day, it didn't serve.
So let us step into 2022 with a new vision into the unknown new journey and pave the way ahead.
I wish you a beautiful day everyone xoxo...... BUT, first coffee and some yummy greek sweet bread.

Happy Weekend Everyone!!
Here is the vanity final reveal!!! I am over the moon as to how it turned out. Now it totally complements the design of this room.
Never be afraid of colour. If it fails it can always be stripped.
The piece de résistance here is the hardware I got in antique finish, those are of great quality made in Italy and they are heavy.
Your hardware should be treated like the final touch. You can make something look much better quality or much lesser quality with the hardware you put on it.
Just like jewelry if you select the right pieces it makes the outfit looks so much better.
Now this room is just about 95% complete...
Looking for my art pieces.
This room makes me so happy, it gives a deep feeling of comfort and peacefulness. It feels like a wonderful hug.
I can spend hours and hours in here.
Ok my lovelies. Off I go for some Christmas groceries shopping and later on work on my new inteior design website.
Super loving the new fb cover too. Might be playing around with a few looks .
Have a great one peeps and be happy xoxo

ROOM UPDATE.
Sunday Smooth Mood as we get ready for the new week.
I cannot even believe in less than two weeks it will be Christmas. Time is just flying by.
So check out this new transformation.
Same room three looks.
When i put rooms together my main goal is creating deep feels. Creating a mood that puts my clients in an inspired and happy mood.
Putting colours together is fun, putting a mood board together is fun also. But creating a space that touches the soul is a different game all together.
I create spaces that define your style ❤

***** How to decorate on a budget, in 5 easy to follow steps****
Happy Sunday my peeps!! What a gorgeous long weekend, this beautiful weather, and its the last few days of summer. Which makes me a bit sad, but then there is the excitement of a new season and if you know me, I like to do some decor switching spring summer look and fall winter look.
Its the most inexpensive way to fresshen up your space without causing a dent I your bank account.
This is the hot season to update your space, and Im going to show you how to do it in 5 easy steps.

1, decide on the style and colour palette.
It can get really confusing with so many colour options and styles out there.

2. Do your homework, preshop online so you can decide on the look you want to achieve and collect photos of your list of items you want.

3. Very important SET A BUDGET. So many times my clients have no idea of how to set a budget for their project, lack of knowing how much things cost, often times leads to underbudgeting, always be aware of the costs and determine how much you want/can spend in one shot.

4. When you go shopping take a calculator, add up all the items in the cart, then go back to step 3, is it within budget ? If not revise your items, can you find a simila product at less? Can you let go of something and still keep the result ?

5. Take CASH do not use a card to pay unless you are highly disciplined. Take cash and leave your cards out of this. Most importantly never use a credit card. If you cannot pay for it now, there is always another time. Get out of the habit of getting in debt.

So you see ? It can be this easy. If you struggle with determining your style or can't decide on a colour palette or item selections, I can help, just message me and lets make your dream come true.

Καλό Μήνα Happy September!!

Loving this relaxed and neutral palette. One of my favourite passe partout is a neutral base to which you can add any accents or just keep it simple.
The simplest and most cost effective way to decorate.
Hope everyone is enjoying the bits of summer left to the max.
The weather is ideal for designing and updating our spaces.

For your design projects send a PM message and lets discuss your home goals.

Have a beautiful night everyone, sending you love and hugs xoxo

Happy weekend friends and it is thundering out there. So glad I ran my errands earlier so I don't get the crazy storm on my head walking back from the plaza.

Tonight, all I want to do is listen to podcasts and watch informative videos and chill in this room.

Im totally loving the coffee table makeover, went wirh dark walnut on the bottom and weathered grey on the top and Im liking the effect.

This room feels so cozy and relaxed.

What would you say is your favourite thing about this room?

Its just another gloomy wednesday, wish it was friday, cause thats my fun day.
How are your sheets? Mine are absolutely comfortable and 100% natural.
Ive become extremely alergic to synthetic fibers lately, my skin breaks out with the least contact.
So my go to, is always 100% cotton. How about you?

*** I got a feeling somebody's watching me *** 🙈🙈🙈
Turbo the neighborhood watch, he always finds a way to bomb my photos. But I love him so much and I think the photos look so much better with him in them, don't you think.

Is your home pet friendly?
Does your furry baby shed a lot of hair?
The big seasons are starting September and May.
Back in Greece I had a german shepherd and had no idea dogs shed and when a chunk of hair fell off, I freaked out, thought something was wrong so I ran to the vet LOL the poor guy explained to me. I got a brush and good lord you could make several wigs out of this hair.
So here are a few tips to keep in mind if puppers or kitty kat shed too much:

Avoid high pile rugs
Vacuum regularly / daily not to clog the vacum cleaner.
Brush your pet
Use blanket (cotton preferably) to cover your furniture (less static than poly)
Opt for natural fiber furniture they are less staticky.
Dust and clean every day.

Simple little things to keep your space looking great and avoid getting alergies.

On this little note I wish you a fantastic day xoxo
