perfect home no.3 ** savršen dom br.3 fabulous trullo


Have you heard about trullo? It is house with conical roofing, traditional for south-east Italy and may be found in towns Alberobello, Locorotondo, Fasano, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Ceglie Messapica. Trulli were generally constructed as storehouses, built without any cement. This style of construction is also prevalent in the surrounding countryside where most of the fields are separated by dry-stone walls (the same style of construction can be seen in my country too...and I am fascinated by its durability)
In Alberobello atop a trullo's cone there is normally a pinnacle, that may be one of many designs, chosen for symbolism. Additionally, the cone itself may have a symbol painted on it...which may include planetary symbols, the mallocchio (evil eye), the cross, a heart, a star ....

balkan breeze ... soulful grey

Hello everybody...it's time for new Balkan breeze ...and this time I've decided to feature one masculine and very stylish apartment I fell inlove with several months ago. This is apartment in Belgrade, located in area I am personaly attached to - Konjarnik...because I used to live there for several years. It was the best time ever.
Anyway, the apartment we're touring today belongs to young and successful graphic and industrial designer, so he implemented all of his knowledge about the form, colours and proportions in it.


passion finds.. dressing table

One of PassionDecor readers asked me if I could find some inspirational photos of makeup and dressing table. The thing is, she asked me long time ago on PD facebook page...ang I just saw that yesterday..silly me. Please guys...whatever you want to ask me, write me an email...I'll be more than happy to help in any way.
Here are some photos I found inspirative and beautiful.


Opt for narrow console table with drawers,and you can never go wrong, especially in small space.

home tour.. vintage cottage

You know when reading a good book written long long time ago, or just having that vintage feeling...there's always a mansion or castle in it, with gorgeous gardens and landscaping? And where is a mansion, there is at least one guest cottage.
That was my first thought after seeing this lovely, comfy and fresh little cottage...spotted on House of Turquoise
Photographed by Janis Nicolay and featured in Style at Home magazine, this cottage was designed by Colleen Sawatsky, owner of Vintage Home.

Don't you love the art above the sofa? adorable...
