A Basket for my Snugglies - Ένα Καλάθι για τα Χουζούρικα μου

1/28/2016

106 Comments

 
I know that it's been chilly out there for most of you and even thought I live in a coastal town near the water, it has been chilly for me too.  When I have a moment to relax, I like to snuggle on my couch with a blanket and my pillows.  The problem is I have nowhere to store them when they are not in use. This old basket looked like the perfect candidate for storing my snugglies.  But first it  needed a makeover.

 
Ξέρω ότι κάνει πολυ κρύο για τους περισσότερους από εσάς, και  ενώ  εγώ   ζω  σε  μια παραθαλάσσια πόλη κοντά στο νερό, κρυώνω και εγώ. Όταν έχω μια στιγμή χαλάρωσης, μου αρέσει να φωλιάζω στον καναπέ μου με μια κουβέρτα και τα μαξιλάρια μου. Το πρόβλημα είναι ότι δεν έχω πουθενά να αποθηκεύσω τα χουζούρικα μου. Αυτό το παλιό καλάθι μοιαζει σαν τέλειο υποψήφιο. Πρώτα, όμως, χρειάζεται μια ανανεώσει.

The Accidental Tri-Colored Table - Το Κατά Λάθος Τρίχρωμο Τραπεζάκι

1/18/2016

116 Comments

 
As many of you may know having kids can be quite the challenge. They run, jump and do all sorts of  things that would make me pull a nerve in unwanted places in my body.  For them it's all in a day's play.  But my furniture takes a beating. Now for many years I had a trunk for a coffee table - the one that was recently given a new life here.  It was solid and it did not budge. But after a while, I wanted to feel like a normal human and have a "real" coffee table. So I  turned it into a tri-colored coffee table.

Όπως πολλοί από εσάς γνωρίζετε, να μεγαλώνεις παιδιά είναι πρόκληση. Τρέχουν, πηδούν και κάνουν ένα σορό πράγματα. Γι αυτά είναι όλα ειναι παιχνίδι. Αλλά τα έπιπλα  έχουν διαφορετική άποψη. Τώρα, για πολλά χρόνια είχα ένα μπαούλο για τραπεζάκι σαλονιού - αυτό που πρόσφατα του έδωσα νέα ζωή εδώ. Ήταν σταθερό και δεν κουνιόταν. Αλλά μετά από λίγο, ήθελα να έχω ένα "πραγματικό" τραπεζάκι σαλονιού.

A House full of Treasures - Ένα Σπίτι Γεμάτο Θησαυρούς

1/14/2016

89 Comments

 
The other day I had the pleasure to visit a friend of mine who lives in a very old farmhouse.  In fact, she told me some parts of the house are about 250 years old.  And her house is full of rare treasures.  She was kind enough to allow me to photograph these beauties. 

Τις προάλλες είχα την χαρά να επισκεφθώ μια φίλη μου που ζει σε  ένα  πολύ   παλιό αγροτικό σπίτι. Μάλιστα, μου είπε πως κάποια μέρη του σπιτιού είναι περίπου  250 ετών. Και το σπίτι της είναι γεμάτο από σπάνιους θησαυρούς. Είχε την καλοσύνη να μου επιτρέψει να φωτογραφίσω αυτές τις ομορφιές.
