Vintage inspired illustrations by ARMINHO

Beautiful illustrations and notebooks coming out of Arminho studio, in Porto. Raquel and João are the creative minds behind Arminho and they take their inspiration from vintage objects, books and illustrations they find at flea markets. They use the technic of letterpress printing which makes their production completely handmade. I am specially loving the geology chart (I'm a geologist after all) and the cooking books. That would make a beautiful gift. Have a look at the whole collection on their website and etsy shop

Estou a adorar as ilustrações e cadernos lindíssimos da Arminho. A Raquel e o João são as mentes criativas deste estúdio, situado no Porto, e a maior fonte de inspiração para eles são os objectos vintage, livros e ilustrações que encontram nos mercados de antiguidades. No estúdio usam a técnica de impressão tipográfica (letterpress) o que faz com que a produção seja completamente feita à mão. Gosto especialmente do geology chart (não há nada a fazer, sou geóloga) e os cooking books. Uma excelente ideia para prenda. Para verem mais produtos visitem o website e a loja etsy

Beautiful in Gothenburg

Stadshem, Photography by Jonas Berg

I am loving the muted colours in this Gothenburg home, for sale at Stadshem. I specially like the kitchen and the fact that the owners went with the bold choice of combining white kitchen cabinets with black appliances. I think this is becoming a trend in Scandinavian homes and I really like it. I am also loving the abstract art on the living room. It reminds me of the beautiful Waves print by Kristina Krogh.

Estou a adorar as cores neutras deste apartamento em Gotemburgo, que se encontra à venda no site Stadshem. Gosto especialmente da cozinha e do facto de os donos desta casa terem decidido combinar armários brancos com electrodomésticos pretos. Parece-me que isto se está a tornar moda nas cozinhas Escandinavas. Também gosto muito da arte abstracta na sala. Faz-me lembrar o maravilhoso print Waves da Kristina Krogh.

Another Fantastic Frank house, too good not to share. I love how the decoration is fresh and youthful, the amazing wall art display, the somewhat bold choice of colour for the living room and just the quirky little details everywhere. This house reminds me that the best interiors are the ones that reflect the owner's personal style.

Mais uma casa Fantastic Frank, que tinha de partilhar. Adoro a decoração fresca e jovem, a coleção de quadros e como estão dispostos, a cor fora do comum da sala e os pormenores peculiares que se encontram por todo o lado. Original sem ser forçado. Esta casa relembra-me que os melhores interiores são aqueles que refletem a personalidade de quem lá vive.

I am loving this beautiful Stockholm home (for sale here) and the muted colour scheme together with the brass details. It feels modest but well thought and put together. So lovely.

Estou a adorar este apartamento em Estocolmo (à venda aqui), as cores neutras e os pormenores em dourado. Esta decoração demonstra alguma modéstia e contenção combinada com detalhes interessantes que tornam a casa mais acolhedora. Gosto muito.

55 Kvadrat, Photography by Janne Olander

With Spring, IKEA Portugal has launched a campaign that instigates costumers to embrace and celebrate their balconies as opposed to enclosed them and make them a storage area - something that unfortunately is the norm here. At my home I do not have a balcony but if I had I would take inspiration from this beautiful space I found at 55 Kvadrat. I love all the different textures, colours and plants that make from this tiny balcony a glorious welcome to Spring. The rest of the house is pretty cool too specially the wishbone chairs in white.

Com a chegada da Primavera, a IKEA lançou uma campanha designada "mais varandas, menos marquises" - coisa que infelizmente se tornou norma aqui em Portugal. Na minha casa não tenho a sorte de ter uma varanda mas se tivesse iria retirar muita inspiração desta casa que encontrei no site 55 Kvadrat. Adoro as várias texturas, cores e plantas que fazem desta pequena varanda uma gloriosa saudação de boas-vindas à Primavera. O resto da casa é muito bonita e despretensiosa e gosto especialmente das cadeiras wishbone em branco.
