HALF KITCHEN IS ON

Home. After more than 8 hours work. Building my kitchen.. Gosh, how can it be so complicated?? After all, I spent a pleasant day with Chri, dad, some beer and popcorn! :) But building the kitchen was more complicated than expected! We successed building just half of it, will continue tomorrow with -hopefully- the rest!





Keeping u posted!

MOVED

Done. Yesterday we could pack ALL of our stuff -including cat- and left our former flat. I've been looking forward the whole summer to move into the new place but leaving the old one was pretty sad! I loved the place an we spent there more than 2 years! We had so many things to move and fix that I didnt even realize we actually did leave the place! :(

Beside, I'm staying at Dad's, with Dad and bro. Living with 2 boys, worse thing!!

At the moment our new place is a construction site-slash-warehouse: contractors are goin back and forth every day (luckily we have a 40sqm flat! Think if we had, like, 100..!! Mad!) and it's packed with our stuff, and kitchen and bed! We and contractors can barely move... O_O

Keep u posted with works!

WORK IN PROGRESS

I'm exausted! But today was a great day: I got up at 6:45 to go to my new place and supervise contractors' work on my new wall, and meanwhile they were ripping, painting, nailing and whatsoever, I went back and forth with a cart moving almost all the boxes left at my place. I walked all the way from the old flat to the new one, cause it's appr. 1 km between them and it would be much more complicated to load and unload the boxes onto and from the car, let be find a parking place.. So I walked the whole day throught the city center pushing a cart but looking at shop's windows and bumping into a lot of people I knew!

I also spent some time at the new place to paint some scrap wooden panels dad gave me, just to see how the effect would be. The idea is to cover one of the living room's walls with it, this would be the desired effect:



Do u like it? At the beginning I intended to place them in the bedroom, and horizontally, but that simply doesnt work.. Panels are not long enough and the bedroom is already too crowded with bed, air conditioner and a master wardrobe..

Wall works will proceed on monday, electrician will also come on monday to make some changes at the electricity panel and tiles are due to be on kitchen wall by tuesday! Pics will follow! :)

I find all this so funny and exciting!!!! :D

FALL?

Today is raining here in Trieste.. Actually quite a relief from the sick hot of the latest days! Is this a sign that fall is on its way? I'm looking forward for this summer to end, I love summer it's my favourite season, but not especially THIS summer, which was either wet and cold for a long time and insanely hot the past 2-3 weeks, beside my apartament will finally be ready and we can finally move in!
I'm meetin up with dad in 20 minutes to buy some wood panel, which will be applied on our bedroom's wall, witg this "shabby-chic" effect:





Do u like it?
Of course pics of the new place + works in progress will follow! Looking forward!!! :)

YELLOW DRESS

Hola! I just got up, me and Pucio, who seems to be ubiquitous :) are planning some home furnitures! Outside's just too hot so I'm planning to lay on my ass at least half a day! :D Beside, I have things to do: must plan these funitures so I'll know exactly where the wall must be placed and must send the "project" to an architect friend of mine who is going to take care of it!

 

Yesterday I went out with Fernanda! God I have to take a course in portuguese, the language is just too much fun I love it!! We had a great night as always but we had to retreat home quite soon due to some storm rain :(

This is how I was dressed! I love this yellow dress from H&M!

Have a great day everybody! :)

GOSSIP GIRL: YES AND NO-S

Lately -beside pack and organize all of my crap- I've been watching a lot Gossip Girl in the evenings, I bought the first 3 seasons on Amazon some while ago. I must admit it, it's endearing, but I expected so much more, especially from the characters!! Before watch it on TV I used to read the books of Cecily Von Ziegesar, and the characters were so much more captivating: Serena was described as model-beauty, the kind of one you stare in admiration when they walk down the streets, and lil Jenny Humphrey was a curly brown-haired wild chick with boobs so big that embarassed her, Vanessa was bold, Serena's BIGGER brother Eric (non smaller..) was out to college and was as fascinating as her, and Eleanor Waldorf was a fat wreck-mother who re-married with a certain Cyrus Rose, who Blair hated, and who had a son, Aaron, who hooked up with both Serena and Vanessa...

OK they changed the story a little, that's fair, but according to me they weren't able to keep the fascinating features of the characters, who made every single character just itself. I found most of them empty and only full of dramas..

I also found them pretty ugly.. The only ones I liked were Blair (superb Leighton Meester and SOO alike Blair's book character), Lily van der Woodsen, Chuck Bass - even if a little different from the book's character, Nate Archibald and Jenny Humphrey -even if very different from the original character I really liked Taylor Momsen. I liked so and so Dan Humphrey, too similar to Seth Cohen from the OC, and I really disliked Serena! This chick Blake Lively totally lacks of charm, and I even disliked her actress's skills...

One character I really liked was Georgina Sparks: mysterious and charming, who best than superb Michelle Trachtenberg could play that role? I started to love her when staying up all nights watching Buffy! :) If anyone could play Serena Van Der Woodsen in respect of the real character that could have been her!

What do you think of GG serie? Did you read the books? Do you like all the characters?

LEXINGTON

Date fixed!!! Finally I got the appointment with the notary for the last signs and contract, on the 30th! After that date, depending on how tiles and wall works go on, I can finally move in in my new apartment!

I'm organizing and moving lotsa stuff right now, jeez how much crap I had!!! I threw in the garbage a whole part already, and lotsa other stuff were sorted out and are going to my best friends: I'm organizing a bingo night-slash-pijama party at mines next Friday, where I put all the -nice- stuff I don't use (or never used..) on a bingo and we are going to play while we drink the enormous amount of every kind of booze I still have at home from past parties and God knows where.. :S

I also wanted to share with you a very cute home design brand I just discovered: Lexington! I walked by a friend of mine's shop yesterday on my way home, and found everything adorable! J-U-S-T the style I wanted to create at my place, and beside other, as lovely, she was selling also this Lexington brand. Some pictures I found on their web site:



If you are in Trieste, stop by my friend Emanuelle's shop, Jardin Privè on Via del Canale Piccolo, walking distance from Piazza Unità, the main and beautyful square!

SOME HOME INSPIRATION. WHITE WHITE WHITE.

Aahh sorry to be more and more lazy in updating this blog! This is now the usual starting sentence of every post.. not a good sign.. I'm looking forward to move in in my new hole ehm I meant place ;) to finally settle down and start typing regularly again with my brand new silver Mac from my brand new white sofa :D

Time is now finally coming, I should be moving in beginning of september, and this also means that I am at my busiest now, it's finally about time to buy furnitures and not just plan it, but for the very moment I have to still hold it for a while and wait for some stupid paper to finally sign the mortgage contract and get the apartment! :)
Meanwhile, here the style I like at the moment, I'm doin a lot of it lately, I mean browsing home design magazines and iPhone pages :)





A mix of luxury from the "beachy" style of Hamptons and a touch of scandinavian clean white typical from the beach areas of southern Sweden where I used to live!

What do you think?

I'm so excited! :) For the moment for me it's just to go home and pack / organize things.. boring!!!
