I love adding some subtle Dark Romance in Home Decor! These Baroque painting Cushions are such beauties! Oh and you can totally convert the cushion cover as a (folded) clutch too ;)

Most of us are already getting Spring ready and so are our wardrobes! Why not our homes too? I love Home decor and love the various tutorials and amazing DIYs. I thought today would be the perfect day  to show you my favorite Spring Home Decor tutorials for getting interior Spring ready (to match that new seasons wardrobe of course)

Our Paris Home

Say Hi to our Paris Home! Well home for a few days! I stayed together with Yara and Cindy in an amazing loft in Saint Germain! The location couldn't be more perfect and the apartment was a complete dream! Renting an apartment over a Hotel is such a recommendation especially when visiting the Paris with more then just 1 friend! I really hope we can stay our next PFW at the same loft because I kind of became attached to it ;)

3 Weekend Worthy things To Do

1) Organizing your Closet

I'm not talking about a full-scale closet-operation but about placing favorite items for the coming week together on a rotation rack or on a shelf! Shoes, Bags, matching accessories, blouses, jeans etc. Some quality Closet time :)

2) Home Decor

And I'm not talking about a complete re-do here either! I'm talking about changing details; fresh flowers, changing the pictures in your Frames, re-organizing your display, book shelves and even pillows and rugs! No shopping needed (except the flowers)

3) Photoshop Actions

Maybe at first sight a bit weird in this list, but photoshop actions are really fun to play around with if you have some free-time on your hands!  

DeviantART has an amazing collection of free photoshop actions, giving you lighting effects, vintage effects and about every other photo editing effect you can imagine! But it takes time browsing around and not all actions will work or give an effect that goes with your photos!

Below is one of only a few actions I liked! Download it (here) and open it in photoshop actions (go to your actions > load actions) When you press the little play button it will automatically run the effect on your photo!

SHOPPING: Scotch and Soda

Remember that I mentioned Scotch&Soda a little while ago? (in this post here)

So I made my way back to the shop for some sale shopping and above all to come home with one of their delicious checked shirts! What happened is that I came back home with trousers haha, and of course now I regret not coming home with shirts + trousers.. (ohhh the pains of a shopaholic)

ps. Lately I'm into slight masculine home-decor details as well like using empty coffee cans as vases..
