rooms to die for.

here i will share my favorite pictures of beautiful interiors with you.

aren't they gorgeous? i'm really considering painting my walls pink and make everything as classic and sparkly and glittery as possible. anyways, comment, guys :) xo

fashionable homes.

since we're just about to renew our apartment with my mom, i'm pretty much into browsing stylish fitments and interior stuff. 
i'm following this blog, Lofts, Homes, Building, Architecture like months ago, and i love the things they're posting! 
here comes a list of my favorite interior designs which are totally going to be an inspiration for us when furnishing our tiny but really cool apartment.

roomy, warm and elegant. i love the sofa!

how gorgeous is this!? really. i could totally imagine Jackie O. sitting here or something. i adore that fireplace and the lamp by the sofa.

this kitchen is dreamy. i love how the walls are so simply, still amazingly glamorous with all that shine and all. also, i love the huge platforms.

tiny and comfy, those bookshelves are cool and i love the brick walls paired with the huge windows and the simple bed.

noticed the pattern on the purple armchair on the left? gorgeous! also, the table is sweet, and brick walls + huge windows = awwww (again).

finally, the bed is beautiful, so as the chair by the table. i could never sleep in a room like that though, too spacious, too large.

these rooms all in all are fabulous, and i highly recommend everyone to visit Lofts, Homes, Building, Architecture blog sometimes, because - even though they're rarely posting - the pictures are beautiful!


also, i plan to make my room's basic colors light blue and brown. i'm not entirely sure about the exact shades yet, though i found some inspiring pictures.

i think the wallpaper and this something (that is like a bed, still it's something else...at least it must be...) in the picture is fantastic! 

 the curtains are cool, though it all looks too much like a hotel room to me.

i adore the wallpaper!

those curtains or what are those are sweet.

the bed. :)

what yo you think? that shades would you choose? other: what do you think about round shaped beds? i plan to have one... comment, please :) xo

the metropolitan building.

the lady whose place i was staying at while i was in New York City, showed me this building which i fell in love with right in the minute i stepped in. 

the metropolitan building is in Long Island City, Queens, NY, it was built in 1909 and used to be some kind of factory. 30 years ago on a hot summer afternoon, when Eleanor Ambos, a german lady found it, it was empty and strongly required a restoration. Eleanor bought the building in 2 hours after she first saw it, for cash. 

Eleanor was an interior designer and had an antique furniture rental business and she wanted to use the building as a storage place. the building had no walls inside on the upper stories, only huge rooms up there and tiny pantries downstairs. 

Eleanor stored her antique stuff there, but started to feel she had to do something with the whole interior, since naked brick walls were killing her. first, she gathered windows from the streets - windows people threw out when they were restoring their own apartments, etc. those windows became the walls of the Metropolitan Building on the inside - and they still are. Eleanor's friend, Marianne (the lady who showed the place to me) rented a room downstairs as a studio for herself, and they restored the whole building together.

Metropolitan Building is a popular wedding reception location, lots of photoshoots take place and parties and other events are being frequently organized there. let me say, i'm not at all surprised.

each stories have individual styles - one of them looks like Versailles on the inside, another has antique furniture but naked brick walls in it, and on the third story, there's a huge tub on the middle of the level, covered with golden mosaic tiles, in which they pour water and put water lilies on parties and other events. 

why do i write about a building? because i think this building is the most fashionable, most stylish one i've ever seen in my whole life. it screams STYLE really. see for yourselves.

...and a few photos from photoshoots that were here.
