Fun Young Boys Bedroom Ideas

If I can say anything about a young boys bedroom, is
to make sure it’s fun because we all know boys love to have fun and he love to
play the day away. If it’s not fun it’s not for a young boy. Can you imagine a
place where he can easily find his trucks, balls and the rest of his fun toys?
How about a room with different colors other than the normal blue? Remember a
boy loves different colors

Nautical Theme for Boys Bedrooms

Let’s get all on deck immediately before its
time for the crew to take off on board the ship. I love the idea of a Nautical
bedroom theme for the young boys in your life it really gives them the idea of
being the captain of their own ship. Can you imagine the imagination your boys
will have dreaming of riding out storms of a body of water but yet he’s the captain
that brings the ship to shore?

Former Bakery in Sweden

Good morning my friends. Had a good weekend? We went to the beach yesterday and saw 4 or 5 dolphins playing and jumping in the sea. So lovely!
And, here were are again, having a look at this sweet home in Lundsbrunn, Sweden. It is 100 years old and used to be a bakery. These photographs mostly show different nooks and corners of the house rather than the whole rooms.

Oscars Great, Good and Bad Carpet!

As I'm watching the Oscars here is the red carpet round up!

***

Enquanto estou a ver os Oscars não resisto em vos deixar aqui as minhas primeiras impressões da 'red carpet'!

1. Gwyneth Paltrow - Elegant and stunning like a Greek Goddess. Loved the tailored look.

2. Cameron Diaz - Gorgeous and Sexy and even the ruffles work on this dress.

3. Maria Menounos - Beautiful shade of minty green.

4. Mila Jovovich - elegant one sleeved dress. White dresses can easily look like wedding dresses but this one elegantly escaped the label.

***

1. Gwyneth Paltrow - elegante e deslumbrante como uma deusa grega.

2. Cameron Diaz - Lindo e Sexy, até mesmo os folhos resultam neste vestido.

3. Maria Menounos - bonito tom de verde menta e elegante.

4. Mila Jovovich - um vestido branco elegante. Vestidos brancos podem facilmente parecer vestidos de noiva, mas este escapou elegantemente ao rótulo.

1. Berenice Béréjo - Lovely shade and beautiful details from Elie Saab Stunning Collection.

2. Sandra Bullock - I do think top could have a better fit but I always like black & white .

3. Octavia Spencer - Gorgeous dress for a size plus lady. Great choice!

4. Michelle Williams - I don't love the model but I do like the (not red) but coral shade.

***

1. Berenice Béréjo - Lindo o tom de menta maravilhosos detalhes neste vestido da fabulosa coleccçao de Ellie Saab.

2. Sandra Bullock - Eu acho que top poderia cair um pouco melhor no corpo dela, mas eu nunca resisto a um vestido preto e branco.

3. Octavia Spencer - vestido certo para uma senhora de números grandes. Grande escolha!
4. Michelle Williams - Eu não amo o modelo, mas gostei do facto de ser coral (e não encarnado).

1. - Merryl Streep - I admire this lady and she is a champion of Oscar nominations but why would she have to be dressed as the bad Oscar statue lady.

2. Kelly Osbourne - I mean this girl hosts a style show!... What is that 2005 dress and that dreadful hair .

3. Rooney Mara - Bad fit! That is what happens when you pick a dress on Oscars morning!

4. Stacy Kéibler - She is stunning, gorgeous and has an awesome body but this is the good Oscar statue lady dress. Did they hire her to be standing beside the statue outside the Theater!?!

***

1. - Merryl Streep - Eu admiro esta senhora e ela é uma campeão de nomeações, mas porque é que ela tinha de ir vestida como a versão palhaço pobre da senhora estátua do oscar?!?

2. Kelly Osbourne - Mas esta rapariga não é comentadora num programa de estilo e moda?! ... O que é este vestido de 2005 e o cabelo pavor!?

3. Rooney Mara - Muito mau corte! Isso é o que acontece quando se escolhe um vestido na manhã dos Oscars!
4. Stacy Keibler - Ela é deslumbrante, linda e tem um corpo impressionante, mas se o outro era a versão pobre esta é a versão palhaço rico da senhora da estátua dos oscares. Será que eles a contrataram para estar de pé ao lado daquela estátua que está fora do teatro!?

I loved this years actors testemonies, the art deco pannels on stage,

and the music throughout the show

I love the Oscars.

Até Amanhã

So Canadian, Eh? interview

Hi Everyone, Barb over at hodge:podge asked me to be a part of her "So Canadian, Eh?" series and I was thrilled! She doesn't mess around when it comes to who she interviews so it was a little nerve-racking to say he least. She is one of the sweetest people I have met since I started blogging and is always there for any DIY advice I might need. Pop over to her blog and check out my interview. Thanks again Barb for including me!

Fur for the bedroom

I know it's crazy, I live in a hot and humid climate but I can't help but think about a fur throw for the bed. Maybe it's because it's so hot outside, I have the cold air conditioner blasting inside.

I love the look, the feel and the cosy aspect of them.

So chic....

I do love it but I think I'd need to be in a colder climate to have one on my bed!

The Oscars nominees for best Art Direction and set decoration *** Nomeados para o Oscars de Melhor Direcção de arte (Cenário)

Tonight nobody will keep me away from the couch because I'll be watching the Oscars and see who gets this one!... It’s no coincidence that four of the five were also nominated for Best Picture, because compelling design and great film making go hand in hand.

I bet you don't know the names of the set decorators nominated.

***

Hoje ninguém me arranca do sofá porque vou estar a ver os Oscars e quem leva para casa este! E não é coincidência que quatro destes filmes estão também nomeados para melhor filme, porque design de talento e excelente realização andam de mãos dadas.
Aposto que não sabem os nomes, que estão por trás dos cenários nomeados.
