:: WOODY the Christmas Tree ::

Uh, it`s a long time since my last post, but that`s what happens when you`re busy. It`s really not usual for me, that I don`t have time for blogging, pinterest and all the other internet fun. I kind of miss it, but from time to time, life hits me really hard and I have to work on other things a bit more.

Today, I`ll introduce to you one of the projects we are working on right now and that`s "Woody the Christmas Tree". Woody is made out of a spruce wood, so it`s natural and very stylish. There are two versions of it, Woody Natural or Woody White, whatever goes best into your space/place. 

We made a FB page for it (here), so please don`t hesitate to give a big like to Woody and share the news. 

If you are from Celje or Ljubljana, you can check out Woody White in stores of And by Andraž, along with the recycled ornaments made by moi. :) 

Of course, you can also have a Woody of your own, just write me an email, so we can discuss the details! ;) 

Xo, Maja

:: PATISSERIE LOLITA ::

Yesterday I spent the morning in Ljubljana and I already forgot everything is closed untill 9/10am, so I was just walking around the streets for a bit, and then went to Lolita for a cup of coffee and a delicious cake. I was the first customer, which was funny, but also good, because I had a chance to take all the photos I wanted with no interruptions. Yey! :)
Anyway, I love the place, I always stop by and I definitely recommend it to you too! You can only hope to get a free table and in the worse case scenario (when all the tables are full), just take some cake with you and eat it somewhere outside next to the river, or perhapes take it home to make someone else really happy.
On their page they wrote: " If you will enter into Lolita˝s environment, you will succumb to its charms. You will be seated in a warm sofa, staring you through the large windows and follow the movie that city center will play for you.. It will smell of almonds, chocolate, fresh biscuits, vanilla, tea and coffee. You will not want to go, until you try this precious cakes that you will be offered." and I totally agree with that! 
I just wanted a coffee, but ended up with a coffee + delicious cake! What can I do, I love cakes. :)
Lolita was designed by architectural office Trije arhitekti with Jagoda Jejčič.

:: CULTURE EXCHANGE :: |Cafe & Bike Shop|

I already talked with you guys about our Novi Sad roadtrip in this post, where I mentioned that we found this amazing cafe, that I wanted to make a special post about it. 

Cafe/Bike shop - simple, yet astonishing. What`s there not to love? :)

So, I googled a bit more about it and found out they`re even cooler than I thought. According to the their website the team has 7 members. "It`s a group of talented, multi-cultural, and multi-ethnic young people and families brought together through their faith & in the hope of creating a better world."

While taking a coffee break there, we were lucky enough to meet Ana. I asked her about spending the New Year`s Ewe in the Cafe and she gave me her number. We called about 18pm on the 31st and we got a green light (even though we were sure it`s way to late), so we went there and had a blast with karaoke, cool people and great atmosphere. Thank you Ana for being so kind and letting us in! ;) 

Anyway, what exactly is Culture Exchange (http://cultureexchangeserbia.org/#home)? 

"Culture Exchange Serbia is a volunteer and non-profit association dedicated to inspiring others to step out and change their life, their communities, and their world for the better. We actively engage in grassroots projects to raise awareness for the benefits of multiculturalism, tolerance and understanding between all nations. Young people from Vojvodina and all over Europe have participated in our cultural and humanitarian initiatives."

Check their website and read all about it.  If you feel like supporting their work click here, I`m sure they`ll be more than happy/greatful and you will feel better as well. :) 

p.s. : The bikes <3 

p.s. II : Only last three photos are mine and the rest is from their facebook page.

*the only photo I managed to take for the New Year`s Ewe & even this one is blury. :) 

:: CHRISTMAS TABLE SETTINGS | INSPIRATION | ::

Holidays are getting closer and that`s why I have to hurry up with all the ideas about the Christmas posts that are piling up in my head for a while now.  Oh, I`m so happy pinterest exists! :) 

My favorite would be the white/gold inspiration + I`d add a touch of red for a color contrast, just like this garland on the first photo. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? 

xo, Maja <3

:: DIY TIN CAN ORGANIZERS ::

If you produce lots of tin cans, don`t throw them away, cuz they can be really useful. Today I`m showing  how you can use them for organizing your working space and for the next time I haven`t really decided yet, because I have quite few ideas.

Have a great weekend!
xo, Maja <3

You will need : 

• Tin cans
• napkins with motives you like
• glue (for napkin technique) + water
• brush
• & good mood

:: DIY OFFICE/WORKING TABLE ::

So here is one of big DIY`s that was going on the last two weeks. We are in the new apartment almost for a month now, but we didn`t have any working space, so we got an idea, to make it by ourselves. The first thing was this table, which I have to say that all the credits goes to Jaka (bf). :) 

We also decided that if there`s anyone who really likes it, it is possible to order it, just write me an email or contact me on FB and we`ll discuss details.

xo, Maja

You can also separate the desk from the "boxes"

:: INTERIOR DESIGN - HOME TOUR ::

I found this on BOLIG magazine, where I dont understand a word but I love to browse through the photos! :)  It`s a great resource for finding some inspiration/ideas for adorable interiors and home tours.

The one I`m showing you guys today is fresh and clean with accents of bright color against white.

I`d say it`s perfect, cuz I really love "all white" combinations, but on the other hand I`m also a color freak, so this combination is win win for me! :) 

My favorite part of the house would be the wooden floors and I think I`m in love with that mint/pastel green smeg refrigerator! :) 

xoxo, Maja  ♥
