TV INTERIOR DESIGN // PARENT TRAP

La vigilia di Natale in tv hanno trasmesso uno dei miei film preferiti "Il cowboy con il velo da sposa" ("The Parent Trap" titolo originale). Mi riempie sempre di gioia vederlo perché mi ricorda quando lo guardavo da bambina, il film è comunque molto più vecchio, esattamente del 1961.
One of my favourite movie, "The Parent Trap", was broadcast the Christmas Eve. It fill me with joy every time I watch it because when I was a baby I always watched it. Anyway this movie is much older than me, is from 1961.

I vestiti, la doppia recitazione di Hayley Mills, gli scherzi al campeggio estivo, il ranch californiano, la villa di Boston... insomma mi piace tutto! E voglio condividere con voi un po' di immagini. Cosa ne pensate di questo salto indietro nel tempo?
The clothes, Hayley Mills double acting, the tricks during summer camp, the californian ranch, the Boston townhouse... in short, I love all of it! And I want to share with you some pics. What do you think about this jump to the past?

DIY // OTHER DECORATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS

Due case, due centri tavola, un unico filo conduttore: le pigne. Quest'anno ne avevo una scatola piena e le ho usate ovunque :) Spero vi piacciano i miei diy!
Two homes, two centre-pieces, one main theme: pine cones. This year I got a box full of them and I used them everywhere :) Hope you like my diy!

BLOGGER HOUSE // ALEX AND THE WAVES

La prima volta che ho visto il blog fotografico di Alexandra me ne sono innamorata. Usa uno stile che mi rispecchia profondamente. Non smetterò mai di farle i complimenti!

Tra le foto pubblicate nel suo sito non saprei quale scegliere come preferita, una comunque è sicuramente questa:
The first time I saw Alexandra’s phlog I fell in love with it: her style reflects myself perfectly. I can’t stop congratulating her!
It’s a quite hard job to select my favourite photo among those she’s posted on her blog, but this one is a possible choice:

Potrete quindi capire il mio entusiasmo quando Alex ha deciso di condividere con noi la sua nuova casa.
So you can understand how excited I was when Alex told me she wanted to share with us her new house.

Sono stata colpita dallo stile Haussmannien dell'appartamento, tipico della Parigi fine '800. Adoro le grandi vetrate, e le antiche decorazioni che ben si sposano con un eventuale arredamento contemporaneo.
I was really impressed with the Haussmannien style of her flat, the symbol of the late 19th century Paris. I love big windows and ancient decorations, even when matched with contemporary furnishing.

Cominciamo quindi con l'intervista e le foto!

Let’s start with her interview and pictures, then!
