A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to start a new project Pantone related. After my #MariasPantone series I stopped using them for a while, but still enjoyed having them at home. If you follow me on Instagram you know by now that I am a huge fan of facades, specially those colourful ones. I've posted so many pics of beautiful doors, windows and building, but London has definitely the best doors ever. I love to walk around and find a street where all its doors are different colours, almost like a crayola box. So I decided to start matching them with my Pantone cards. Here is a little peek of the behind the scenes of how I create them. For those of you how asked me if I carried around with me the Pantone cards all the time, the answer is, yes! Only when I know I will be taking pictures and will have time to explore around. When spotting a beautiful colourful door the next step is to choose which the colour that bests matches the door, and this can take a while. Some times there aren't any colours to match the door, so I have to go to the next one. It is so much fun and I really enjoy doing this series, if you haven't seen it yet, check our the hashtag I created for it. Have a lovely day! Love, Maria

A swampy green exterior, tiled counters, and more contribute to this Victoria, Australia, home’s nostalgic vibe while still feeling totally modern.
I have always loved the tiny, original workers’ cottages in suburbs like Leederville, Subiaco and Fremantle. But although I look at them from the outside and admire their quaintness and charm, often I think that I could never live in one – I presume that they must almost always be way too small and cramped inside. Well this worker’s cottage is proving me wrong. Formerly a poky one bedroom worker’s

A friend, a coffee, a cake, and some conversation: when you 'fika' in Sweden, it’s more than a coffee break—it’s about connection. This white oak floor is so popular in modern Scandinavian homes, it seems fitting to honor it with that name. With wide-planks, a soft blonde tone that just brightens up the oak’s natural color, and an even grain dotted with occasional knots, this floor strikes the perfect balance of a modern look with a subtle connection to the forest. No random lengths. Each plank is 7 ⅜” wide and 89 ¼" long. Enjoy the look of long, full length boards throughout your floor.

Hello friends! As the kitchen reno continues... we had a snowball project come up that I was actually pretty excited about. The flooring we replaced in the kitchen goes all the way to the front door (the flooring is Ah-mazing! I can't wait to show you). But our old front door was metal (and quite boring) so we couldn't cut it down to fit the new flooring. We looked at the price tag of a new front door and were floored (pun intended) by the fact that they are sometimes thousands of dollars!?! I remembered I saw a huge selection of front doors at our local home supply store (Construction Junction) - for $35-55. Done. I thought it was worth a try right?
