One Room - Three styles

One thing I love to do is to move the furniture I have in my house from one place to another. At the porch I normally leave water proof furniture because it's  an open space, but sometimes I like to move some chairs that are on the inside to the outside. In order to accommodate more people I add an ottoman and an hammock,  leaving the room more comfortable. Adding some little details we can turn the space cozier .That makes a huge difference.

At night, when the wind is blowing gently, it's nice to have a  blanket close to us in case  we need it. You can also  change the flowers and put  them in a different vases  that will give  another look to the room. And a nice carpet will give you a final touch.During the day,when I have nothing to do,  it's nice to sit down , listen to the birds singing, feel the wind and see my lavenders growing  at the garden, the same lavenders I use to decorate my porch.

Souvenir to be remembered

These little wood boxes were made as a gift to a young couple after inviting me to be their made of honor. I wanted to give them something special , something made by me and to be remembered forever. I showed them some options and they choose for a little wood box with white ribbons and a flower with a pearl at the top. As you can see below the boxes reminds me a provencal style.

                

I did not know the way  the boxes would be organized but when I came into the room I had a pleasant surprise. The people involved in organizing the party made a good job. They put the boxes at the different antique tables all over the place.

Christmas' picture

A friend of mine wanted a picture of Christmas to hang it on the wall. The scene she imagined was a cottage with a fireplace and a comfortable chair, everything in brown. Another friend wanted the same, but in white. The options I made offered three situations: lights off, lights on just in the fireplace, lights on on the wall, ceiling and Christmas tree with the option of choosing which ones to turn on. At the Christmas tree I added  a Swarovski  star and silver balls . The results you can see below.

Escrever

When I make a picture I always try to add details similar to reality.  For example: cups in porcelain instead of resin, shapes and pillows in fabric, furniture and coo coo watch in wood and real mirror. Many things are made by hand like little flowers applied on vases , coo coo watch , lamps, ottoman and pillows. 

I always loved flowers on everything. For example, here in Brazil we have a leaf from a tree called "Folha do Planalto". They prepare the leaf in a bleaching process that takes of the green and leaves it completely colorless. Later on, they add some other colors, like pink or violet. After that, we use these leafs to create flowers like these:

After a month of work, I finally finished another picture for a little girl. I added some details to give it a realistic idea of her bedroom. And the most important thing: the owner loved it!

As a lover of arts and crafts, I decided to have a blog where I gather information about all kinds of handmade

art, especially Brazilian arts and crafts. This blog is a way that I found to organize everything I have created

trough the past years. I also intend to show everything we have of unique in Brazil, like natural materials. I hope you enjoy my blog and thank-you for spending your time reading it! The design process is always a joy to me.

To start I would like to show some  minidecorations that I made to hang on the wall of children's rooms, but before that we hang it at the maternity doors during the time that the child stays at the hospital.

 

 

To complete, I made some souveniers that can come along with the minidecorations.
