SPRING AT THE DOOR !

My favourite season ! Maybe it's because i was born in spring but i feel different from the other times.
Because winter is gone,the sun starts to warm us,we can walk outside and see the nature is changing color from brown-dark green to all colors of flowers,the sea is becoming blue from gray.It feels like we didn't have any oxygen since last summer.
For me our houses have seasons also.If i had chance i would decorate 4 bedrooms for every season.Because there are styles,colours,objects which matches with seasons.With little tips you can change the season and the athmosphere of your house.
I always love country style and if i had 4 houses for 4 season; spring house would have country style !
The bright colours,flower patterns,soft color palette,forms of the nature,fabrics with lace..
But we have only 1 house so the job is adding the spring effect to your permanent houses.
If you have bright colors and simple furniture it'easier for you to combine but if you have applied a strong style and have dark colors it's harder to add the spring effect.
Main material of country style is wood.Main pattern is flowers.Most of the bright,pastel colors.The theme is nature.If you keep the nature,you can catch the style !
At this category my first stops would be: English Home,Laura Asley,Marks&Spencer,IKEA,Zara Home
designberry'm !

This ex.living room has all pieces of country.The old form sofa,flower pattern wallpaper,white-wooden coffee table,bright colors(pink-blue-white) flowers.This decoration needs to be created.

 This living room can be modified.Because the wall is plain beige,plain white sofa,wooden table..
With adding colorful cushions on the sofa,different wood frames on the wall,straw mat table lamps..
If you have this kind of convertible decoration,you are very lucky to have different styles !

Using the strong patterns and colors in details doesn't show messy !

 You can add a side couch./IKEA

Put colorful cushions on your sofa !

Change your curtain into white tulle-curtain.You will have more natural light inside,
the space will look wider and luminous.

Make your walls framed! Different size and shape empty frames looks very natural and gives
romantic effect.

HAPPY WOMAN'S DAY !

I don't pay too much attention on these kind of days but sometimes we can see the benefits of them.For me and also for many people around the world ;the meaning of today is focusing on the issues of the women.Unfortunately,"VIOLANCE" is the first at the list.For women is easy to understand the other women but i've found a very well done video which is taken in Turkey for men to understand the position of the women in life.Maybe this can show and make them feel something !At the video it says:
"Have you ever thought how it feels to be a woman ? "
Happy Womans Day !


FOUR WINDS RESIDENCE by TASYAPI-ISTANBUL

Today i wanted to give some information about the project that i am working on.I will share the details and the photos with you.I am working on this project since 2 months and it is still under construction.Due date is 2013.The land measure of about 44.000 square meters with 4 buildings which have 44 floors above ground and with 3-4 floors underground parking place.Social club,some shops,swimming pool,fitness,spa,playground,residence facilities are all included and the rest is green field.
4 types of apartments:2 bedroom,3 bedroom 4 bedroom and Penthouse which is 655 squaremeters.
All the apartments have sea view after 9th floor,thanks to the design and positioning of the buildings !
Btw the prices are so high , starting from 834.000$ ! Good choice to live in but not  good for investment !

General view night/day

Site plan of the blocks in front(sea part).You can see the buildings are not positioned
90 degrees to have a sea view also from the back !

On saturday we had chance to go around the building site and we went up until 14th floor.It was my first experience around and inside the site.I should say it's hard to work at site in winter because it was freezing up there:) Thanks that i am an interior designer not an architect! :)
