Double Height and Mezzanine

 

There’s something about double height spaces that make them look elegant and classy. And add a mezzanine to the space and the result is amazing! Unfortunately, I don’t have such a high room (only 3.2m) to be able to do it at home, but I'm sure I’ll have one or both, when building someday the house of my dreams :)

Here are some inspirations!

Which one is your favorite?

Hay algo en los espacios de doble altura que los hace ver elegantes! Agrega un mezanine y el resultado es espectacular! Desafortunadamente en nuestro hogar no tenemos espacios tan altos (sólo 3.2m), pero estoy segura que el día que contruyamos la casa de nuestros sueños haremos uno o ambos en alguna habitación!

A continuación, unas fotos que me inspiran!

Cuál es tu favorito?

Jest coś o podwójnej wysokości pomieszczeń, które czynią je elegancki wygląd. I dodać antresolę do przestrzeni, a wynik jest niesamowity! Niestety, nie mam tak wysokiego pokoju (tylko 3,2m), aby być w stanie to zrobić w domu, ale jestem pewna że będę miał jeden lub oba, kiede będzie zabudować kiedyś dom moich marzeń :)

Oto kilka inspiracji!

Workspace: Designs and Tips

I’ve come to realize that husband and I CAN’T share a desk. I need my own workspace. And I’m not saying it’s because he’s messy or something. I can also have my own mess sometimes. But I like having things a bit more organized and clutter free.

Ever since I wrote my What to do with an Old Door post, I want this so bad:

_____

Me he dado cuenta que mi esposo y yo no podemos compartir un escritorio. Necesito mi propio espacio. Y no lo digo porque sea desordenado o algo. Yo también tengo un desastre en el escritorio a veces. Pero me gusta tener las cosas un poco más organizadas y libre de cosas innecesarias.

Desde que hice mi post sobre cómo re-usar una puerta vieja (What to do with an Old Door) me he enamorado de esto:

Uświadomiłem sobie, że mój mąż i ja nie mozemy podzielić się biurko. Muszę miec własne miejsca pracy. I nie mówię to dlatego że on jest niezorganizowane, czy coś. Mogę też mieć własne niezorganizowanych rzeczy czasami. Ale lubię mieć rzeczy nieco bardziej zorganizowane i wyłącznie z rzeczy naprawdę potrzebne.

Odkąd napisałem Co zrobić ze starym drzwi (What to do with an Old Door), chcę coś takiego:

Anyways, even if you don’t really need an office space, I still think it’s a good idea to have a small space for your own. It may be to design something, write blogs, check your bills and finances, etc.

Here are some tips:

De todas formas, incluso si no necesitas un espacio de trabajo, creo que es bueno tener un lugar para ti. Asi sea para escribir blogs, hacer cuentas o diseñar algo.

Aquí un par de consejos:

_____

W każdym razie, nawet jeśli nie jest potrzebny przestrzeni biurowej, nadal uważam że to dobry pomysł, aby mieć małą przestrzeń dla siebie. Być może zaprojektować coś, pisać blogi, sprawdź swoje rachunki i finanse itp.

Oto kilka wskazówek:

 

Keep it clutter-free. Keep things simple. Only have things you need on your desk. It will create a more relaxing space.

Ten sólo lo necesario.

Zachować tylko niezbędne rzeczy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use an inspirational board, or just a board to pin up papers. It’s good to look up at things that inspire you and feed your creativity. If you have no need to get inspired, why not have some family photos or just important documents you must have in your sight?

Ten una pizarra llena inspiraciones o papeles que necesitas mantener a vista.

Użyj tablicy inspiracja.

 

 

Have a comfy chair. Will you be spending hours there? I bet you don’t want to stand up with a sore back. Invest in a nice and comfortable chair. Your health is always important.

Ten una silla comoda.

Mieć wygodne krzesło.

 

Good lighting. Always natural light will be a plus. But if you don’t have a window close to you, get some light fixtures or lamps. Working on a not well lit place will damage your eyes.

Buena iluminación.

Dobre oświetlenie.

 

Have things you love. Having things you love on sight will make your workspace a “pleasure” space. It will take your mind off work for a few seconds :)

Ten a la vista cosas que te hacen feliz.

Mieć co kochasz.

Shoes by Architects

Almost all women (and men: my husband) are obsessed with shoes! I personally need to wear high heels almost all the time.. mainly because I’m short.. and well, I like it. High heels always give you a better posture and make your legs look better ;) Anyways, some people prefer them flat. When it comes to designers Im sure almost all will agree with me and LOVE Christian Louboutin, YSL, Jimmy Choo, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden and much more..

But what happens when an architect designs a shoe? Is it good? Bad? Take a look!

Julian Hakes, a London based architect, designed these pair of shoes with no foot plate. What do you think?

 

Personally, I think Zaha Hadid should stick to architecture. Don’t mess around with shoes. Please. (that’s my opinion)

 

Rem D. Koolhaas, in my opinion, does a nice job. I would definitely buy them.

 

 

Here’s Tea Petrovic’s design. Doesn’t look confortable at all. Gives me the impression that those wires will cut through my skin! They are interesting though.

 

Marloes ten Bhömer, also from London, did these. Looks kind of like origami.

Which design is your favorite? Mines are the ones from Rem Koolhaas and the one with no foot plate was very interesting!

Decorating Your Bedroom on a Budget

Would you like to give your room a make-over but don’t have enough money? That was my case when I re-designed my bedroom. I wasn’t happy with how it looked like and didn’t feel like it was my “sanctuary”. You all know that your bedroom is the most important place at home… its where you start and end your day, and a place to recharge energy. So being comfortable in it is important! Remember to have in mind the BEDROOM BASICS!

All you’ll need is a bit of creativity, dedication, time and of course money… hopefully a small amount ;)

BED

You don’t really need to buy a new one to re-vamp your room. You may just use your imagination and have a DIY headboard and change your bedcovers. I like to focus a lot on the wall behind the bed, make it work as a frame (your bed will be the picture). In my case, I filled that wall with different picture frames.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WALLS

If you have a small room, the walls will be the place with more area to decorate. Here, you can use wallpapers, picture frames, mirrors and wall stickers, this will give a nice look to it. Try using contrasting colors. It will give life and dimension to the room. And, as I said, wall stickers can make a change without having to change the wall color.

 

FURNITURE

Rearrange it. You’ll see the huge difference it will make. It’s a great way to give a fresh and new look. The best thing: It’s FREE! ;)

 

PILLOWS & RUGS

Have many. It will give a cozier look and, as I mentioned in an older post, it’s a great and less-expensive way to splurge on designer items. Placing rugs on the floor will also help revamping the new look.

What do you think about it? I’d love to read your comments :)

PALLET = unique furniture

This is just AH-MAZING! Who knew you could to so much stuff out of simple pallets? I mean, I knew I could make a cute table out of it, but never really thought more and come up with this ideas (because come on! For sure I would’ve had come up with those designs :P hehehe). Pallets are sometimes found around as trash and sometimes you can buy them cheap at some warehouse, and the things you can create are really worth the time to put the design together.


Hope you have a nice Friday! SIIII! Finally FRIDAY :)
