colourful

A few weeks ago, I interviewed the talented and lovely Emilie Cacace for the equally lovely No Magazine. It's sparked an attraction to rich colour, tapestry, embroidery and traditional handicrafts. Emilie's blog is a rich source of the aforementioned, and while I dress reasonably simply, I want my home to feel warm, lived in and full of colour. Recently, Siri posted this shoot from UK Vogue January 1973, which were shot in Algarve, Portugal. 

Below are some images I found on Keep Feeling Fascination which were sourced from World of Interiors, they are "Lukeriya Nazarova, who resides in the village of Bolshoi Kunale in Siberia. She is a babushka who was once a performer during the Communist period touring the world with the Red Army Choir, serving the USSR and winning many medals. Rugs from Central Asia that can be found in Siberian bazaars cover a pair of chairs and a couch, blue walls and ceilings serve as a backdrop for floral table cloths and rugs knitted by Lukeriya, mementos and photos are pinned to the walls, and bright flowers sit in vases, further adding to the liveliness of the home".
