Details from my home (Easter edition) / Detalji iz moga doma ( Uskršnje izdanje)

Details from my home is not a very frequent feature on my blog (for a number of reasons). For one, the decor in my home doesn't change that often. Moreover, I often include photographs from my home when I do book reviews or when my publish my art. So, you see bits of my home anyway. However, this Easter I did some home made decorations so it seems like a good idea to share them here. In addition, I wanted to show you how I decorated my Easter eggs this year. I tried many different techniques but my favourite one is a traditional one. This traditional technique  consist from decorating the eggs with plants ( the eggs are placed in a pair of tights to secure the plants in place) and then cooking the eggs in onion peels so you get this (in my opinion) absolutely gorgeous colour. If you want to see the results of this traditional method, scroll down.

Detalji iz moga doma i nije baš česta rubrika na ovome blogu iz više razloga. Prvo, dekor kod mene doma se i mijenja tako često. Osim toga, često objavim fotografije iz moje kuće kada radim oglede knjiga ili kada objavljujem svoje crteže i slike. Tako da ionako imate priliku vidjeti neke djeliće moga doma. No, ovoga sam Uskrsa radila sam neke dekoracije sama pa mi se činilo kao dobra ideja da ih podijelim. Osim toga, htjela sam pokazati kako sam ukrasila jaja. Probala sam puno različitih tehnika, ali najdraža mi ipak ostaje tradicionalna metoda ukrašavanja jaja koja uključuje prislanjanje biljaka na koru jaja ( biljke ostaju na mjestu tako da ih se stavlja i zaveže u par najlonki) i kuhanja u kori od luka koja im daje (po mome mišljenju) doista prekrasnu boju.

DIY PROJECT OF THE DAY: 

How to refresh an old basket? 

My husband wanted to throw this old basket into garbage, but I decided to turn it into something useful. So, I painted it  white acrylic colours and used it as a piece of decor for this Easter. I don't plan to get rid of it. I'm sure I'll manage to find some good usage for it in my new home.  When it comes to seasonal decor, I think it's always a good idea to try to incorporate it into our homes. 

                                              

NAPRAVI SAM PROJEKT DANA

                                                          Kako osvježiti staru košaru?

Moj muž je htio baciti ovu staru košaru u smeće, ali ja sam je odlučila pretvoriti u nešto korisno pa sam je obojala s bijelim akrilnim bojama i upotrijebila ju kao komad dekora za ovaj Uskrs. Ne planiram se nje riješiti. Sigurna sam da ću joj pronaći neku namjenu u novom domu. Kada su u pitanju te sezonske dekoracije, mislim da je uvijek dobra ideja uključiti ih u naš dom.

                                           

                                                    How much seasonal decor is enough?

You really don't need to have tons of seasonal decor. Sometimes a few small things are enough. The trick is in knowing to work with what you already have. However, there is nothing wrong in having tons of seasonal decorations if that is something you truly enjoy. Some people are very enthusiastic when it comes to seasonal decor and I actually think that's very sweet. Still, you shouldn't feel pressured to be one of those people. When it comes to decorating your own home, you should really think about what makes you happy. It's your home, you know. You don't have to put out a single Easter/Christmas/whatever decoration if that is just not your thing. 

                                                  Koliko je sezonskih dekoracija dovoljno? 

Zapravo vam ne treba hrpa sezonskih dekoracija. Ponekad je par sitnica dovoljno. Trik je u tome da znate upotrijebiti ono što već imate. No, nema ništa loše u tome da imate hrpu dekorativnih sitnica za svaku prigodu ako je to nešto u čemu stvarno uživate. Neki ljudi su jako posvećeni sezonskim dekoracijama i meni je to iskreno jako slatko. Svejedno, ne biste trebali osjećati pritisak da budete jedna od tih osoba. Kada je u pitanju ukrašavanje vašega doma, morate stvarno razmisliti o onome što vas čini sretnim. To je vaš dom, znate. Ne morate izvaditi ijednu uskršnju/božićnu/bilokakvu dekoraciju ako se vama to ne sviđa.
