Not to be missed: A feminine glamorous apartment in a historic art noveau building

Posted by MAKMU ta On Monday, February 27, 2012

This dream apartment belongs to decorator and TV presenter Ana Antunes, and is located in Chiado, Lisbon's fashion district. I feel like this apartment speaks to the girly girl in all of us who wants to feel luxurious and pampered in every room of your house. Tiffany blues, mirrored furnishings, pastels, and opulent decor are found throughout this stunning space.

The deep, tall windows in this room are to-die-for.

If you couldn't tell, Ana loves all things Tiffany blue.

I always try to use decor that has special meaning to me, just like Ana has showcased one of her mother's paintings here.

So true and so simple "Always believe your instincts and emotions.  If you love something a lot, stick with it because you won't get tired of it easily"

I've made the mistake of really liking something "of the moment."  Even though I might sincerely like the look, I don't always wait to see if I like it for an extended period, enough to make the commitment to it in my home.



Love all the artwork throughout her home.




What do you think of Ana''s home?

A personal announcement, and beautiful pictures from Barcelona

Posted by MAKMU ta On Tuesday, February 08, 2011

Hi all - so for those following my Europe trip, this will be the last post for Spain. I have many more countries to share with you, and next up will be Italy! But first, lets say goodbye to Spain with a hodgepodge of images from beautiful Barcelona.

And my personal announcement? On Feb. 14th I am leaving for Spain to live with my boyfriend until the end of June! Don't worry though, I will still be blogging with the same consistency, just 6 hours ahead of you guys on the east coast. After June, depending on where/if boyfriend goes to grad school, I will announce my new home, which will probably be somewhere on the east coast.

Okay, here's a little review of the 9 weeks I spent backpacking through Europe. I've now covered Spain in previous posts.

The countries we visited include Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.

Here is a round up of posts from my travels throughout Spain

•Introduction to my European backpacking trip and a list of places we visited
• Galicia - Baiona and Isle de Cies
• Galicia - the coast, some charming vineyards, and Pontevedra
• Santiago de Compostela and gorgeous hidden beaches
• Gorgeous mountain lakes of Picos de Europa
• Stunning mountains - Picos de Europa

Now for saying goodbye to Spain with the last of my Barcelona images -


The colorful, delicious markets...

The work of Gaudi everywhere, such as the Casa Amatiller


Stunning ceiling


Reminds me of Morocco!



In Park Guell, you can tour the house where Gaudi lived. Gaudi did not design this house, it was originally owned by his father.



What a humble bedroom!


Most of the house is used to showcase his hardware and furniture design, which you'll see below

LOVE this door know.



Do you have a favorite place in Spain - or a place you've always wanted to see?
