Heaven in Greece

I was just working on a blog post for tomorrow when I came across the heavenly home of Greek interior designer Marilyn Katsaris on Yatzer. OMG I think I'm going to pass out. It's understated and simplistic perfection. Here is a little peek. 

A glimpse of paradise

We've had terribly cold weather here in Ottawa for the last few days so I think it's time to take a little trip. I'm thinking about a riad in the Medina of Marrakech. Problem is if I ever visited this home I'd without a doubt NEVER leave. Every detail is simply stunning. This is what paradise looks like in my dreams.

Mural love

We received an email a couple days ago that without a doubt had to be shared with you all: "I'm Lady, an advertising creative from Manila and an avid reader and fan of your blog. You've featured our cat Kitty Bang Bang once on Monday's Pets on Furniture. For the past year, my boyfriend and I have been constantly inspired by your featured interiors to improve our new home. Having an artist father, I've therefore asked him to paint a mural on our dining room wall, to break the sparseness of the space." Oh, to have an artist for a father! This mural is fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing Lady!

Me, my home, my cats and a mag

One day a couple of months ago I received an email via Flickr from a stylist (Mihaela Radu) who works for the Romanian version of House and Garden magazine called Casa si Gradina. She really liked the photos of my home on Flickr and wanted to use some in the magazine. I was given not much else in terms of details and I had no idea what photos she selected. WELL, turns out it was a whole bunch of photos...enough to fill TEN PAGES of the magazine! A reader of our blog and fellow blogger Annamaria Chitan graciously offered to send me a copy of the magazine and I received it this afternoon. There is an entire story about me living in my home with 6 cats and what I've done to fix up my home on a budget. Some of the photos chosen are not very recent (ie. kitchen without proper dining table) and OMG an entire page of a photo of me, but I ain't complaining. It's so cool to see many of my photos in print. :) So here it is:

What a trip

I really don't quite know how to start off this post....except to say that this would make the cutest little summer hideout EVER and I bet this place would make you feel like a gypsy.
