An Italian evening…..

09/11/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

since we are back from our Italy vacation we are still in the italian mood which means pasta and wine all the time 😉

So we decided to invite over our neighbours and friends for some of the specialtys we ate down there. I decided to go with an Italian table decoration theme in the typical colors red, green and white.

Table Decoration:

So we had filled olives and mushrooms and stuffed wineleaves and Ciabatta with brushetta as a starter. I also made and Aperol Spritz as Aperitif.

For the main course we had noodles with a tomato sauce, artichokes and shrimps. And of course lots of parmesan cheese on top.

The desert had been an Italian panna cotta with a raspberry sauce, fresh raspberries and mint leaves.

The guests really liked the food and the combination of it so the evening was a total hit. The weather also was great. I first thought about serving the food inside because the nights were pretty chilly the last couple days but ít was a really hot day so eating outside was the better option.

I always liked and still do to host theme dinner parties or events like that at all. It is always nice to sit together with the people you like a lot and chit chat and have lots of great food and drinks.

Wishing everybody a great Sunday.

Take care. See you. Love K.

We are golden – current decoration trend….

08/19/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

as I am doing some research on lots of decoration articles and ideas – because I am setting up and decorating my office space (finally) – there is one color that pops out the most at the moment – GOLD

I don´t know if it is because of the season or just because it is trendy right now but I have never seen so many decoration items in gold. I do like it a lot so it influences the color theme of my office the most. In the meantime (before I am revealling a new room of my house) I am showing you some of the items I have purchased yet and some I am still thinking about.

Gold is a great color to combine for example with black to make it look mysterious and interesting or with white to give it a fresh and sparkling look.

So here are some pieces I picked out from different stores:

Candle in a pineapple (isn´t this such a cute thing – they also have pears)

Vase (nice for flowers or even just alone)

Mirror (looks like the sun – a nice eyecatcher instead of a picture)

Frame

Wooden picture (I love the font and the dots)

Wooden picture ( not really with golden color but still a nice change to the other items)

Bowl for sweets or just as decoration

Little golden wire balls

Candlestick in an old golden color

Bowl

Set of 3 little candleholders

Wishing you all a nice day and happy shopping.

Redecorationg always has been such fun for me. This is one of the things were I can be sooo creative and there are tons ideas popping up in my head.

Take care. See you. Love K.

Showing further parts of my house….

08/03/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

today I am revealing another room of our house –

– the LIVING ROOM-

It took a little to get this one ready. It has been the most used room so we had to do a lot before I could take some pictures and show it to you (and I almost waited 3 months for the sofa to arrive).

There was a crack in the sealing which had to be fixed first and after that we painted everything white and also had to get the rest of the bottom bars and mount them but here we are now…..

The center of the room is – of course – the sofa. It has to be cause it is the biggest item in there. The color is just gorgeous – it fits with grey and also with brown.

Around the couch is the dining table – a high shine white one for four people (you could also fit 6 people). I do have white chairs around the table wich I like a lot because it is so versatile this way. You can almost use every color for decorating the table you like.

There are several shelves for photos and decoration items and a glass cabinet for all my wine and champagne glasses and decanters.

I also purchased this firceplace – isn´t it super cute. I put some of our best pictures upon it. The wooden wall behind it is an adhesive wallpaper on a thin acrylic glass plate.

The bricks on the wall are actual real stones – we left them cause they are pretty cool and they match with the shabby chic theme which gets us to the next pieces of furniture.

The coffee table has this shabby chic design which I like a lot – also the clock above the fireplace. The pattern is so lovely.

That´s all for my living room so far. I hope you enjoyed this little sneek peek in my house.

Planning on doing another room – stay tuned.

Totally into packing and planing for my summer vacation at this point.

What are your summer plans ?

Take care. See you. Love K.

Coffee Table Decoration Ideas…..

07/18/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

I always loved – and still do love hosting all kinds of events like a brunch, a dinner or just an afternoon coffee meeting. Last thing we had yesterday. I had my whole family over for coffee and of course for some delicious cake to show them the new house we are living now ( – for gods sake it is already done). I had been thinking a lot upfront about the table decoration and I decided to go with an outisde theme as we were sitting on the patio. As I had this nice coffee table cup and plate set I decided to got with the colors green and purple – an awesome combination I did never recognice -but these colors rock toghether.

So here we go – this is everything I used ( got the flowers and the lavender from the fields behind the house and our garden)

So first of all for the drinks – besides the regular coffee I had some refreshing sparkling water with slices of lemon for this little lemon scent in the water and as an apperitiv for the guests after arriving an Jules Mumm with Acai flavor – a brasilian berry.

I made two cakes ( we were eight people – so I was afraid it wouldn´t be enoug to eat) – the small one was a sand cake and the other one has been a Pina Colada cake with pineapples and some rum. Yummy 🙂
