Few days ago I made some pictures for a client. I bought some flowers, but since the palette was mostly red/orange/yellow, I had to buy something with these colors.And {a part from yellow} I kind of hate these colors in my home, they make me nervous and I find them irritating. I so decided to use my pale pink vases… View Post
New kitchen ideas :: kitchen wall file #1
After all the works and efforts we put in the kitchen, I thought it was finally done. But I was wrong and I think it’s time to open a new file.The little breakfast corner is now used mostly from Enea, and in this period of his life is starting to eat by himself {at least he tries!}, so you can… View Post
A new king in the kitchen
I’ve always been the one in charge to prepare the meals, but it’s almost a year that Alberto replaced me {I have to thank Enea for that}. And I don’t complain, au contraire! He always liked to cook, but since I work from home, it was more easy for me to prepare while I was waiting for him to come… View Post
Five crochet projects I want to start right now!
If you crochet or knit, I think you will understand me: every time I start a new project my mind is already thinking what to make next. Sometimes the “need” is so powerful that I abandon what I’m making to start the other project. Is it the same for you?And the fact to own a yarn shop is not helpful:… View Post
Knitted bunting #IDAstyle
My knitting skills are very {but very, very} far from perfect, so what’s the best thing to do if you want to improve? Exercise! I made this nice bunting because you know, they are never enough. I want to make a longer one with brighter colors to place it outside. And I’m already working on a new one to sell in… View Post

Last week, with my parents I went to my favorite flea market.It’s a nice pastime, especially during the rainy days! I was looking for a nice flowerpot for a new plant and I found a terracotta one, that I painted using the pink spray paint. The other purchase is a little wooden carved bird: I fell in love for the… View Post

Last week I made a warm and soft cardigan for Enea, a variation of this pattern.I’m very pleased with the result, I wanted to make something that he can use as a jacket this spring. I was in doubt about adding a hood, but I think I will leave it like this..it’s so nice I’m tempted to make one for… View Post
Dreaming of… a tropical cushion
More than ever the tropical trend is everywhere lately {I already told you about it here}. If you like this style and you want to add some colorful piece on your home, but you don’t feel so brave, why not to choose a new cushion? It can be the focal point of your space: just add one and pair it… View Post
February flowers
Last week my parents visited us to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Not a lucky week, as Enea was a bit sick because of the new teeth. But Saturday I had the chance to spend the all day with my mom: we went to Sissy Boy for lunch and we walked in every shop she liked. Alberto and Enea joined us for… View Post
Nordic Love #5 {Ikea hack} :: #idastyle
Se mi seguite da un po’ sapete bene quanto io ami Ikea. Ci vado almeno una volta al mese {è a 20 minuti dalla Happy House per buona pace del marito!} e spesso mi trovo con le amiche per un caffè e per sbirciare insieme le nuove collezioni. Ovviamente non se ne esce MAI a mani vuote, ma questo è… View Post
