Inside a downtown Athens Loft

Hello and have a nice month! Have I told you how much I enjoy Home tours? Today I decided to post an old project, into which I ran accidentally yesterday (dated on 2012), yet very genuine, concerning a renovation of an abandoned neoclassical building in Athens. Natalia Kokosalaki was brought on to successfully renovate this space according to her client' requirements. 

I envy those talented folks that have this amazing perception of space, and manage to create a cozy space by combining contradictory elements which yet work harmoniously together giving the viewer a satisfying sense of belonging. 

Enjoy!

10 DIY ADVENT CALENDARS

As we are getting further to Christmas, I have been searching for the best ornaments to decorate our new house. Under this spirit, I have decided that this is a great opportunity for me to spend some creative time with my girls and design our advent calendar! As a kid I remember my father was bringing us chocolate filled advent calendars, which we adored! However, I prefer that my girls would not eat one chocolate for 25 days in a raw... instead, we could design an activity advent calendar and fill it with small "surprises", a nice idea to get the family doing things together during the holidays. 

Therefore, I searched the web to find the perfect DIY advent calendar and here is some inspiration. Have a gander at, and help me to decide:) :
