Le boudoir

I'm very very sleepy, and that might, in part, be the reason why I'm loving these rooms' pictures so much!! I just had to share. Wish I had a bit of time to fix up my room the way I'd love it. That way I could kiss away my trerrible sleeping habits!!

Bonne nuit!

Awesome photos via Wonder.

Hope you have a tranquil, relaxing and lovely weekend!!

Walls gone wild*

I'm loving this in The City Sage: a whole post on wallpaper! I've been seeing everywhere lately how wallpapering has started to become more of a thing to keep in mind when decorating a space, rather than just choosing a strong color for your walls. I usually don't fall all over the place for heavely colored wallpaper, I'm more into what I like to call "Scandinavia meets La Provence", but I'm LOVING these two looks, specially the wallpaper in the bedroom! Gemma Comas does unbelievable interior photography!

I generaly post things I would love to try out or own, but in the case of this dining room I am absoulutely mystified by Starck's Louis Ghost chairs. I love the concept: a beautifully dressed table in a room filled with detail and color, you just can't have the chairs clashing the whole thing, now can you? By the way, I love the way the colors on the photo match perfectly my blog's color palette!!

Me encanta este post en The City Sage: un post entero sobre empapelados! Últimamente estuve viendo por todos lados cómo el empapelado está regresando con más fuerza y vuelve a ser una opción más a tener en cuenta al decorar un espacio. Generalmente no me convencen mucho esos papeles sobrecargados y con mucho color, mi estilo es más onda "Escaninavia meets La Provence", pero me ENCANTAN estas dos fotos, especialmente el empapelado del dormitorio! Gemma Comas saca unas fotos de interiores increíbles!

Casi siempre posteo sobre cosas que me encantaría probar o tener, pero en el caso de la foto del comedor estoy totalmente embobada con las sillas Louis Ghost chairs, diseñadas por Starck. Me encanta el concepto de una mesa muy bien vestida, en una habitación llena de detalles y colores donde no podés meter unas sillas que te saturen y bloqueen la vista, no? Dicho sea depaso, me encanta como los colores de la foto combinan perfecto con la paleta de colores de mi blog!!

Happy Halloween!!

Have fun!

Pasenla genial!

Movie apartments #1 {Before the Sunset}

I absolutely adore certain movie homes, and I'm going to start sharing them here. For the first post on Movie Apartments I'm going to start with Celine's apartment in Before Sunset. I seriously can't find a single thing in this movie that I don't love. From the amazig characters (performed by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawk), their past, the untold feelings and twisted emotions through nine years, the amazing Parisian shots, the uttery real dialogues... EVERYHING!

And Celine's apartment is a perfect way to end this movie; the photo above is is a still shot of the last scene... Her her messy, cool loft, filled with hundreds photos and polaroids is in one of those Parisian apartments I love so much, where you have to go in a little pedestrian street and you appear in a courtyard and then there's like a hidden patio with antique bikes and all... *sight* I need to get myself back to Paris!! ASAP!

Céline: Un café et un citron pressé, s'il vous plait. (A coffee and lemonade, please.)

Jesse: (Sighs.) God, I love this cafe. I wish they had places like this in the U.S.
Céline: Yeah, I missed cafes when I was living over there. I mean, I find a few places I really liked, but there was...
Jesse: (Interrupting.) You...You were living in the U.S.?
Céline: Yes, from, uh, '96 to '99. I was studying at NYU.
Jesse: OH, GOD (looks down in disgust) don't tell me that, Céline! (Covers his eyes.)
Céline: What?!
Jesse: No, it's just...Nothing, I mean I...
Céline: What?
Jesse: I've been living in New York since '98. You know, we were there at the same time!
Céline: In New York?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Ah, that's weird. It actually crossed my mind a few times that I might run into you, but...The odds are so slim, right? So...I didn't even know what city you were living in. Weren't you somewhere in Texas? You were in Texas.
Jesse: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely, I just...I was for a long time, I just...You know, wanted to try New York.
Céline: (Softly.) Wow.

Algunas casas de películas me encantan y voy a empezar a postearlos acá. El primer post de "Movies Apartments" es el departamento de Celine en Antes del Atardecer. La verdad que no hay una sola cosa de esta película que no me fascine. Desde los increíbles personajes (por Julie Delpy y Ethan Hawk), su pasado, los sentimientos y emociones ocultos por nueve años, las fantásticas vistas de París, los diálogos increíblemente reales... TODO!

Y el departamento de Celine es un lugar perfecto para terminar la película; la foto de arriba e una toma de la escena final... Su loft desordenado me parece re-copado, lleno de fotos y polaroids, es uno de esos departamentos parisinos que me encantan, donde hay que entrar por una calle peatonal y llegás a un patio interno con bicicletas antiguas y... *sight* Tengo que volver a Paris!! YA!

A modern vintage twist

Sofía totally saved me a few weeks ago from a super boring 400km drive with no music by lending me her iPod and big iSpeakers and I've become quite fond of the little device :) But when I saw this ceramic phonophone my heart just melted! Is this sweet or is this sweet??? Needless to say this would look good anywhere, and it uses no power!!

Desde que Sofía me prestó su iPod y sus parlantes hace unas semanas para salvarnos de un viaje de 400km sin música le tomé cariño al aparatito :) Pero cuando vi este fonófono casi me muero! No es genial??? Creo que quedaría bárbaro en cualquier lado, y además no usa electricidad!!

The princess and the pea

I have always thought that the Princess and the pea tale by Hans Christian Andersen was a bit weird, and I've been torn between two thoughts even as I was really little. On one side... how much of a snob must this princess have been to notice the little pea placed by the queen under several layers of mattresses??

So when I came accross this Motorolla ad on Vogue España I just burst out laughing. The phrase says "If you have noticed the pea, we have something for you". And there's an actual (plastic) pea stuck to the magazine!!!!!!!


Siempre me pareció que la historia de La princesa y el guisante, de Hans Christian Andersen era un poco rara, y desde re chiquita estuve dividida entre dos posturas. Por un lado... qué tan snob tenía que ser esta princesa como para no darse cuenta del mini poroto que la reina le puso abajo de todos esos colchones??

Así que cuando encontré esta publicidad de Motorolla en la Vogue España me mató de risa! La frase dice "Si has notado el guisante, tenemos algo para tí". Y hay una arveja (de plástico) pegada en la revista!!!!!




On the other hand... a bed full of mattresses????? I could totally dig that!!


Por otro lado... una cama con una pila de colchones????? Yo quiero!!

I'm loving this apartment that I found via Tinyk, photographed by Jason Lucas. It's perfect! I want to live in it!! The only problem I find is... how do you convince a guy of moving into it? Any ideas?? :)

Me encanta este departamento que encontré via Tinyk, fotografiado por Jason Lucas. Es perfecto! Quiero vivir ahí!! El único problema que encuentro es... cómo convencés a un hombre que viva ahí? Alguna idea?? :)
