bits and pieces









i planned to take a photo of my today's outfit 
and post it
..
then i planned to show you 
how beautiful mother owl is
(but was scared not to overload le blog with all the owls
.. rest of the world may not be as obsessed with them as moi)
..
instead
i'm going to share with you
few details of my temporary home
..
every room in the house
have differently stenciled walls
that's a traditional wall decoration in this part of the country
in serbian and hungarian houses
(and probably all the others as well
this is a part of the country with very mixed population:
serbs, hungarians, slovaks, croats, romanians, rusyns and many other nationalities live here)
..
and that mix of nationalities
is clearly not afraid of pattern mixing

  1. You mean that's all paint, not wallpaper? Goodness, how much time must have been spent doing that! Much better than the boring beige walls you find in temporary homes here.

    1. yup, it's all paint.. and it's actually way easier than it looks like - it's made using special rubber roller, that has stencil on it (and you are supposed to fill the roller with wall paint, and than slowly roll it upwards).. with traditional style being 'in' lately, everyone is looking for those rollers in old attics :)

    1. o da, bilo bi bas lepo da sam u grckoj, mada nije ni ovde lose, kao sto vidis.. ja sam ovakve zidove prvi put videla pre nekoliko godina, kad sam prvi put bila na terenu i odusevili su me.. a ovi su nekako najlepsi od svih koje sam do sad videla

  9. I love how those mixed patterns always have something in common between them. It's not what I'd do on my own but oh my, wonderful inspiration!
