Perde Mendafshi After two weeks of long wait my Dupioni Silk for my display drape finally arrived, and within two days I managed to sew the drape and paint the display wall. These last few days were long working days and I feel that I am exhausted, but on the other hand I am overlyContinueContinue reading “Silk Drape”

Curtain Design
Dizajn Perdeje I am a big fan of curtains and drapes, and have always been.

Custom Dinning Table Set
This post is all about a Dining Table Set which was custom made for the dinning spot in this Living Room. Since the dining area in this small living room is right opposite from the sofa, it kind of makes this dining table set as a focal point of the room. Having in mind thisContinueContinue reading “Custom Dinning Table Set”
Neutral Living Room Design
My last project involves custom design of all furnishings, including the kitchen and wardrobes of a two bedroom condo in a brand new building located in a most dense Pristina neighbourhood. The clients were upgrading from a one bedroom to a two bedroom condo. They sold their one bedroom with all their furnishings and theyContinueContinue reading “Neutral Living Room Design”
Teenage Girl Bedroom Design
I am so happy and exited that my niece’s bedroom project is finally finished. This was an easy and fun design project to work on, since the major work was done by the painter who did the horizontal stripes on a very rough surfaced wall. Simultaneously, while the painting was under its way I workedContinueContinue reading “Teenage Girl Bedroom Design”
DIY Chair Slipcover
For a revival, many old or worn off chairs need a slipcover or an upholstery job. My chair was neither old or worn off, but it still needed a slipcover. I got this beautiful chair few years ago, and haven’t used it that much during these years; but, the moment I started using it, forContinueContinue reading “DIY Chair Slipcover”
DIY Succulent Centerpiece
There is a spot in my garden with a colony of succulents which are growing and spreading so fast. I love them because they are so sturdy and forgiving; you do not have to care for them at all and they still live and thrive. Since these plants have proved themselves for their sturdiness IContinueContinue reading “DIY Succulent Centerpiece”
Yufka – Phyllo Homemade Pasta
Around this time of year I usually get nostalgic about old fashioned type of food which my mother used to make when I was a child. Yufka is one of them. It is an Albanian traditional type of pasta made of eggs, flour and milk. Way back in my childhood it was sort of aContinueContinue reading “Yufka – Phyllo Homemade Pasta”
Painted Wingback Chair – Nautical Design
I wish this was my backyard so I would face this view every morning when I wake up. Sadly, it isn’t and I just have to keep imagining how it would feel to have a home with such a view. In a search to bring this kind of feel into my home I turned toContinueContinue reading “Painted Wingback Chair – Nautical Design”

Easy Spring & Easter Tablescape
These last few days spring was in the air, and today we officially marked the start of the loveliest season of the year. I love spring, and all the pretty colors that it brings along. Beside pretty colors, it brings joy, warmth, and most importantly restores my mood. Being in a good mood, and toContinueContinue reading “Easy Spring & Easter Tablescape”
St. Patrick’s Day Starburst
Sometimes I wonder if non-Irish and/or non-Christians have any business celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Well let’s be honest, like St. Valentine’s Day and, arguably, Easter and Christmas, we’ve secularized and commercialized what is really a sacred Christian feast day. However, I don’t actually think we’ve “ruined” the holiday. When people celebrate the secular side ofContinueContinue reading “St. Patrick’s Day Starburst”
Knotted Pillows & Tutorial
Throw pillows are everyones best friend – and with good reason! Vibrant throw pillows can transform an entire room’s decor and deliver a bold color statement. If such pillows happen to be vibrant and dimensional, like these knotted ones which I made few days ago, then they can have a double effect in any room’sContinueContinue reading “Knotted Pillows & Tutorial”

The latest post of the Style at Home magazine featured a beautiful kitchen renovation of a historic Victorian home in Toronto’s Beach neighbourhood. Designer Ingrid Oomen was faced with a challenge; to create for a client a kitchen, an eat-in area and a family room that were light and airy as well as family friendly,ContinueContinue reading “Industrial Bistro Kitchen”
Birch Bark Vase
The long hike we took the other day with my husband proved to be quite rewarding for me. Beside getting the much needed exercise and fresh oxygen I sourced, for free, the material for my next DIY project. In our 14 km hike route we came across so many fallen trees in their decomposing phase,ContinueContinue reading “Birch Bark Vase”
Valentine’s Day Breakfast
Everything started with crepes topped with fresh cream and strawberries which I made today for breakfast. I did not intend to make this breakfast as cute as it ended up to be, and let alone did I intend to have it outdoors. Surprisingly, after all the rain last night the day started with a clearContinueContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Breakfast”
Valentine’s Day Mantel
I am really not into Valentine’s Day, and I have never decorated my home for this LOVE-ly holiday; however, the blogosphere these days is full of Valentine’s decor ideas, so I thought I should add my two cents and pull something together for this day; something quick, easy and LOVE-ly which would be a postContinueContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Mantel”
DIY Moroccan Pouf
The poufs a.k.a floor pillows are the most versatile accessory ever. You can use them as extra seating, as a footstool, a side table, an accent piece and even a storage. They are small and don’t take up a lot of room and may add a lot of fun, and personality to a space. InContinueContinue reading “DIY Moroccan Pouf”
Lamp Makeover
This weekend, my old lamp has undergone another reincarnation. As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts here, this lamp has a certain sentimental value for me and I cannot threw it away, so in order to try to “fit it in” in the decor of our house, I am giving the poor lampContinueContinue reading “Lamp Makeover”
