We won an IKEA contest!! yeeeepiiii!!!

Did you hear that?. My husband Jorge and I won a contest that IKEA is doing to promote the movie MAMMA MIA. We are going to participate in a ceremony along with other 19 couples, some will be renewing their vows like us and others will be getting married right there at IKEA Burbank in California. Best part of all we will get prizes and an IKEA gift certificate of $500, plus the preview screening of the movie and a beautiful reception. Wow, I can't believe, we won all that.

Now, even though I'm pretty sure I manifested this prize out of all my crazy furnishing lists and obsessing decoration ideas after we moved this past November. I'm now so confused to what to get, what room should I start with?, and how to combine design unique ideas with IKEA clever stuff ?. Help!!! .... I know it's only $500 but shouldn't I take advantage and decorate the whole house?, ok. I might not be able to do that but I will take advantage of the decoration drive I'm experiencing and make my house cute and warm once and for all.

I love "before and after" photos, so for sure I will be showing you some of those. The hard part of it is choosing all the prizes t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r, but somehow I will manage to use my female skills to ge away with what I want, that's what I'm hoping.

In the mean time, these are the photos that inspired me in my IKEA search today

This is how I want the living room set up, a TV stand and some shelves or cabinets above the TV, I like the bottom one better so far.

By the way I'm Dariana the youngest sister, chau

Mystic Tantra

We have done a few flyers and posters for Nandu who is a Vedic Priest and Master Healer from Mystic Tantra. We love to work with him, it always flows so well, specially since he is also a great photographer and he usually wants to include one of his pictures in the design. I'm always amazed by the picture and I ask him, did your REALLY take this picture?? Well, after a while I don't doubt it, I'm sure and I'm always looking forward to the next project with him. Here are the flyers we've done.

Eye Candy

Welcome! This is a little part of our studio, the craft area.

For us as graphic artists and as individuals that just LOVE everything visually beautiful it is very important to work in a place that we think is visually entertaining and beautiful as well. Sometimes time goes by and there are areas of our studio that we know need work but just can't get to it as soon as we would like until we say STOP! We have to do something about it! So we did, and my sister Dariana has the special touch for this, she becomes "organizadora" at that point and there is nothing to distract her from it. She recently organized our crafting area and it's looking awesome, cute and nice.





It's definitely inspiring lots of new and fresh ideas for new products!! And there is still more decoration to add!! This is just the beginning so I will keep you posted and share other corners of our studio soon!
