Decorações de Banheiros

O banheiro é um ambiente que não deve ser deixado de lado na hora da decoração. Com criatividade e bom gosto, ele pode se tornar em uma sala de banho e ser um ambiente convidativo e bem relaxante.

Mesmo sendo um espaço pequeno, não faltam maneiras bem diferentes de se criar um, desde o ultra moderno até mesmo os bem clássico. E para nos ajudar, existe uma grande variedade de peças e revestimentos com design cada vez mais arrojados e sofisticação.

So for me, September will be about doing 
A CLEANSE*

No dairy. No sugar. No alcohol. Gluten-free. 21 Days.

Proof that you can find an adventure as close as your kitchen

Nervous - yes
 Challenging - yes
Curious - YES!


Feeling 'clean' inside & out

Most of all, I want to see how I feel after 21 days
What I learn in the process

* I'll be following The Clean Program by Dr Junger, made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow

Tell me, do you have any adventures next month?

Inspirações de Casas Contemporâneas

O estilo de casas contemporânea está cada vez mais em alta, além de muito presente, tanto na decoração quanto na arquitetura. Suas característica são linhas sóbrias e mais frias, mas para dar um certo aconchego, entra um pouco de mistura de estilos.
Atualmente este estilo é o mais usado no mundo todo, pois oferecer praticidade permitindo a mescla com outros estilos, principalmente com objetos e móveis, que dão muita personalidade aos ambientes.
Para quem quer misturar estilos, mas tem medo de ousar, o ideal é escolher uma decoração simples e “clean”.
Uma das suas principais características são as misturas de materiais; madeira, vidro, materiais sintéticos, metal, todos em formas retas e simples e focados na funcionalidade e conforto.
Esse é um estilo que pode ser misturar com qualquer outro, gerando uma infinidade de novas leituras. O clássico, o retrô e o vintage são os estilos que mais aparecem, pois proporcionam um equilíbrio perfeito com as linhas retas e cores claras do estilo contemporâneo, mas também não podemos esquecer as peças étnicas e rústicas.


Aqui vão algumas idéias do arquiteto Robert Bailey Interiors:

Althorp House & Princess Diana


Althorp House, Northamptonshire


A girlfriend of mine just returned with rave reviews from the Spencer family home,
but I had to hurry if I was to visit this famous estate
before it closed to the public for the season
So off I went!




The Spencer dynasty has lived at Althorp for twenty generations
Not a museum, this house is has been occupied uninterrupted by a family since 1522,
making this house a home

Covering 14,000 acres of beautiful countryside in Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, and Norfolk,
the estate includes cottages, farms, woodlands, and even villages

Charles, 9th Earl Spencer (Princess Diana's brother) lives there today


Oaks & sheep line the driveway

Making their fortune as sheep farmers since pre-Tudor times,
the Spencer estate leases much of its land for farming today
In many cases, the same family has farmed the same land for generations

As you could imagine, the Althorp House holds many stories
including courtly balls, a secret marriage (1755), a small pox victim (19th cent), and 
royal overnight guests including William of Orange (1695), 
Queen Mary and King George V (1913)

One guide assured me there are no ghosts or secret passageways, 
but I was always on the lookout for a trapdoor or hidden panel :)

Prince William Room & Marlborough Room


Exploring the nineteen rooms and a few private apartments,
I found the house to be large and grand (as expected)
with an accumulation of countless portraits,
artwork, antique furniture, and books that spans the generations



Althorp Stables


The stables hold an award-winning exhibition celebrating the life of Diana, Princess of Wales
including the famous bridal gown, her childhood letters and artifacts, 
and details of her charity work

My favorite part was seeing some of her dresses displayed next to
photographs of her wearing them

She was definitely an amazing person with all she accomplished
What a difference one person can make
(and how adorable are her two sons?!)



A Sad Day: At rest on island, September 6th 1997


I saw a visitor leave flowers here...


Located beside lake


Although the 2011 summer open days have almost past, 
there are opportunities to rent out the house for a wedding or special occasion(!)
or visit when it is open next time (the more economical choice):

Althorp Garden Art Weekend (Sept 3-4)
Winter Warmers at Althorp (Nov 25-27)

It was definitely an unforgettable day
Thank you for coming along :)
