industrial + vintage + chic = perfection!

It is a rare occasion when truly inspired design comes together to create near perfection in styles so diverse. This beautiful home outside of Barcelona (home to the likes of architectural genius such as Antoni Gaudi) combines historical integrity of the building with distinctly vintage touches, modern lines and materials, with just the right amount of chic glam.

Not only are the common spaces something that I would see in my dreams (yes, I am absolutely in LOVE with this home!) but the children’s rooms are particularily adorable – appropriate for the pint-sized members of the family yet in perfect harmony with the style of the rest of the house.

I don’t know about you, but this stunning home has completely inspired and challenged me to find new and beautiful ways to combine styles that often seem entirely seperate of one another.

{inspired by} a love of sweets

Landing somewhere between whimsical design and Willy Wonka’s Factory, this ‘Candelier’ from Jellio is sure to delight gummi bear lovers of all ages. Get your fill of these sweet little bears with a whole lot (3,000 to be exact) of hand-strung hi-gloss acrylic ‘gummis’.

If the $2,400 price tag is a bit steep, don’t dispair – you can get a battery-powered GummiLight (pictured below) for just $125 and still get your fill of penny candy-inspired illumination!
