Hello dears! Almost every day of last week, I've been working on the small hotel renovation. This is a lovely opportunity to wonder around in the center of Nafplio instead of the suburbs... It's such a lovely town with beautiful buildings and views everywhere! So you get to see some nice pics of the town, instead of the usual background of orange trees !!
For those of you who missed that post, I'm just helping out Rania (my mother's cousin), to freshen up her small lovely pansion in Nafplio. She's a very pleasant and nice girl and even though I'm not an interior designer professionally, I was more than glad to offer some help!! This is the lovely neighborhood the pansion is located and we're currently working on the top-floor/attic.
A lot of the talking and arranging takes place at the corner cafe across the pansion to combine business with small pleasures!
And this is a typical outfit of the working week in an attempt to be stylish, comfortable and weather appropriate! (the last being a bit difficult since the weather has gone nuts....)
Outfit:
Skirt - Sprider stores
Top - Sprider stores
Jacket - Ysatis
Shoes - Urban Outfitters
Bag - Hondos Center
Earings - handmade (by me)
Glasses - Dior
Today was one of those days (we chose fabrics)!. But now, I'm back home and we're listening to my amazing man's record collection! Yes, that's vinyl, thank you very much!!
I guess that when it comes to the dilemma of free time vs. money, we choose the first!! See you all next time! Stay happy!
Oh Dimi- what a fun opportunity for you- My Mum is fixing up an old house in Canada and I would love to help her out- is a pansion like a mansion? I've always wanted to visit Greece and these photos prove hos beautiful it is- and you look beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteYes it is lovely! I'm keeping busy, that's something, right? Your mom is lucky, I love old houses! We wish it was a mansion, but a pansion is really a small hotel!! (this one has 6 rooms, I guess the word is french?). You're always welcome to visit and you now have a friend with a house here!! Kisses :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day and view. The cafe looks like heaven! I adore your look and the mix of warm and cool colors. It seems very comfortable and perfect for an outdoor cafe.
ReplyDeleteHi buddy! Nice post. Fun pictures. And, btw, I love foreign films!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kimmie and Shy! It was a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are adorable! Totally made me want to travel! And your outfit is so cute =)

ReplyDeleteThank you dear!! I love decorating! :)
ReplyDeleteit seems to be a fun creative work you're doing, and that view of town is interesting, I can only see them in the movies..i agree that free time is sooo good! I am enjoying it now...but ugh, I am also preparing for the big step in the future...purchased a bunch of cd's fr the 90's, i love the early h.s life music..
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in the same phase d.g., I totally understand!! Love me some 90's!!

I agree! I'm a coffee person, especially in the morning!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that place looks soooooo lovely and neat !! Now I feel like traveling to some cute, neat little town somewhere in Europe ! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a beautiful place I live in!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get on a plane tomorrow and join you for a cup of tea. That place looks angelic. I must go there.

Thanks darling! You're always invited!! That would be sooo fun!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love listening to vinyl!
ReplyDeleteThat street looks so amazing - I just want to sit there all day!
I have to admit I love Europe and old cities and do miss Munchen something awful. I did not get to visit Greece, but would so love to. I love these types of post ... they're real and have such awesome depth. I can just imagine how much fun you are having, discussing the changes and making choices. Hope your week is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI think vinyl is not compared to anything else dear Sheila!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy! And I've never been to Germany! It was a fun week!
Just discovered your blog and love it! Now following you xx
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so wonderful there!
PS I found you through Tinfoils Tiaras
If you have time come and say hello!

Thank you girls!! Welcome! I'll follow back! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous town! It makes me want to visit Greece someday. It looks sooo different than any place I've ever visited before.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Jenn! Nafplio is a beautiful and unique town. It's a mixture of greek, turkish and venetian influences with a very romantic feel! Come over anytime!! :)
ReplyDeleteΤην αναγνώρισα αυτή τη γωνία και ζήλεψα φρικτά!!!! :) Λατρεύω Ναύπλιο!!!!
ReplyDeleteΑγαπητό Ειρηνάκι έλα όποτε θες!! Σε περιμένω στη γωνία για καφεδάκι!
ReplyDeletethose glasses are beeeeutiful! and I have to agree, we are different shapes, but you are hot lady! you have a gorgeous figure, and I love the bohemian vibe you work so effortlessly :) sorry if I don't check back often enough! I am such a bad blog friend, forgive me?!? I have been working 75 hours a week :( it's so stupid! now what is this I am reading about a hotel renovation? that sounds like a TON of work, but so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Alex! The point is "different is good"!! I think I rock the bohemian due to natural laziness...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about commenting all the time! Blog friendships work in a different pace I think! I'm currently unemployed and although I'm working on my "housewife" skills, I decorate and make jewellery, I still have time to view a loooooot of blogs everyday! I don't demand the same from working people or people with families!
And yes, the decorating keeps me very happy, because I have a natural sense of balance and good aesthetics, so it's effortless when I get along with the client! (in this case - my cousin!Ha)
Take care - kisses :)
