FÁTIMA DE BURNAY

11.15.2013

It's time for my weekly blog update wherein I disclose what fun new ways I've found to put off finishing my damn bedroom. I have one of my co-workers coming over this weekend with her husband in tow to help me finally hang my drapery hardware. I Googled a DIY for this last weekend, the fourth weekend in a row I'd told myself "I can definitely do this!" and promptly freaked myself the fuck out. Dude, DIY-ing is hard. Nobody tells you that! Did you know that if I put this up wrong it could fall out of the wall? That it could end up being too heavy for the plaster or whatnot and tear everything down? Sweet Jesus! So, yeah, someone else's husband is going to come over and help make this happen and it's going to be amazing. Feminism!

On another wavelength, I was diddling around on Elle Decor España's website when I came across the amazingly textural/colorful abode of Fátima De Burnay. I actually blogged her living room last spring (third image down in this post), but had no idea where the image came from (damn it, internet!) In a fortuitous twist of fate, the whole apartment came back to me plus I found another peek inside her home on a totally different site, and now I'm obsessed.


That art! And the layers and the textiles and the colors! It's definitely got a feminine energy about it, but I think I'd feel perfectly at home here. I seem to wobble between slavish devotion to Scandi-chic minimalism and artsy hippie creative whatever (see: Erin Wasson). But I think this place is just so beautiful. It feels lived in—she travels, she eats, she entertains...I think that bathroom shot might be my favorite (the colors are great, but also those twin sinks have beaucoup industrial appeal.) I'll be sure to tweet and/or insta when/if my isht gets done this weekend, so stay tuned! Images via Elle Décor España and Germán Saiz for El País.

I came across the gorgeous home of Emma Persson Lagerberg (originally featured back in April by Swedish Elle Interiors) in the latest issue of the UK's Elle Decoration. I love it for more than just its monochromatic-but-wonderfully-textured bones. The attention to detail evident in the home's mish-mashed decor is so inspiring. Christmas lights strung from antlers, a disco ball in the living room, curiosités lining the window sill (the ceramic doll head, dinosaur figurine and miniature model skeleton really pop for me), not to mention the diverse selection of art. The home has a sense of humor and seems surprisingly warm and child-friendly. Speaking of: their kids are so cute! Nautical stripes? A bowler hAt? #dying
