The IVAR cabinet from Ikea {the same one I bought for my TV}, seems to be one of the latest pieces launched by the swedish company, that best lends itself to being hacked. The simple shape and the basic material give the freedom to add colors, new legs {like I did} and to create the composition that suits better your home.Here… View Post
Today I heart this #28
I love this project!A 16 square meters room that before was dark and a total mess, it’s now functional and bright and includes the parents bed corner, the office area and the lovely baby room. Isn’t it super clever?What a difference a glass window/wall and a bookshelf well positioned can do! Adoro questo progetto!Una stanza di 16 metri quadrati che prima… View Post
DIY :: cloud placemats
As I said yesterday, I bought a third item during my last visit at Ikea.When I saw the cork placemats AVSKILD I immediately thought to use them to create an easy diy. I’m playing a lot with new shapes lately and the cloud was both the logo of my first blog, back in 2009 {before IDA interior lifestyle} and a… View Post
New Ikea #IDAstyle
Last week I’ve been to Ikea with my friends Anki, Giuditta and Lonneke {plus all our kids!} for a spontaneous meetup. I was curious to check the new TILLFÄLLE collection {here} but I’ve been a bit disappointed, only few products were present and not even gathered in a specific spot, but spread all around the shop. The lamp I was interested in was not… View Post
Talking about the resolutions

Pantone 2016 @Happy House
I didn’t had the chance to talk about the Pantone color of the year yet.The unusual fact is that for 2016 the colors are in fact two: rose quartz and serenity, a delicate shade of pink and a dusty light blue.Serenity looks a lot like the color I picked last summer to paint the wooden part of my fireplace, and… View Post
DIY :: painted basket and pom poms
I noticed that recently I’m adding more and more pink, maybe to compensate the testosterone from my boys 😉The last example is this easy DIY: I’ve spray painted the seagrass basket I bought years ago to cover the red band that doesn’t fit anymore with the rest of the palette. I chose a very delicate shade of pink and I… View Post
