From Place To Space: Venice Sneak Peek

What better way to start a new week than lingering on with memories of a dreamy weekend getaway? Well this was my sort of recipe to kick off this new and pretty busy work week. I arrived back yesterday late night so today I will be only sharing a tiny sneak peek of my last travel experience - a weekend trip to the Italian city of Venice.

Next Monday I will be back with a full round-up of my Venice weekend trip. I have quite a few Venice travel tips for you - like a fantastic hotel right on the the Canal Grande, a marvelous restaurant serving traditional Venetian dishes according to recipes from the 17th century and a must-visit café. For now I will only share a few snapshots from my trip to Venice. I hope they will make you smile and look cheerful at the new week. 

Stay tuned for more & happy new week, my friends!

Happily Ever After: Photographer Sivan Askayo

A few days ago I chatted with Sivan Askayo on Twitter and Facebook. We talked about the colour grey and its use in interior design, its excellent feature as a backdrop for other colours, and eventually I told Sivan that I am planning on painting a few feature walls in two grey hues in my home. That is when Sivan told me about her 'happily designed' bedroom with a grey wall and sent me a few snapshots. Yesterday I got my walls painted (what a chaos in my small apartment) and I thought it's a good starting point to share Sivan's pictures here before I prepare my own home story.

Sivan Askayo is an Israeli travel photographer and writer currently based in New York City but soon to  head off to Tel Aviv. I admire her work and loved seeing her collaborate with Sister Magazine. Actually, when I went through her portfolio on her website I wondered what it must be like to be a travel photographer and writer - I mean imagine, your job would be to travel the world, discover the beauties around the globe and report them in words and pictures? I wonder: Is it too late to become a travel photographer?

Happy Friday, friends!
