It’s here! After month of curating, Igor, Ricarda and myself, we could hold in our hands the new interior design book we developed together with German publisher Callwey named Wohnideen aus dem wahren Leben.
The three of us took part as bloggers in the first edition showing our homes and have been invited to be jury members this time. It’s been a fun journey, and I have truly enjoyed that little side project.
Last week, we were honored to hand over the corresponding awards for Best Creative Project, Best Individual Style and Best Interior Blog in Munich (Germany). Kimberly, Anastasia and Mette deserved so much the corresponding awards, and it’s been a lovely ceremony.
Since Mette had been a monthly guest blogger on Eclectic Trends with her monthly and amazing DIY projects, I was specially proud to announce her as the winner of the first price (I really LOVE this pic of the two of us-it speaks a thousand words). It was such a grateful task since she did not know anything. When the announcement was made, it felt like a won that award myself:)
But let’s talk now about the 15 bloggers coming from different countries in Europe. Honestly, I believe this edition is a really great book covering seven chapters/trends which are GOLD, RETRO, MINIMAL, VERTICAL DECORATION, TROPICAL, COLLECTORS, and BOTANIC. There are many different styles what makes the book so interesting ranging from Scandinavian Minimal and Vintage to Mediterranean Contemporary.

People like you inspiring me! When I started blogging few months ago I had ups and downs and i stopped blogging for a while. Then I have started reading other blogs again. Seeing the passion, motivation and incredible creativity- it made me to start blogging again! I only been blogging for several months now, and I don’t own amazing house ( I rent a small apartment -fully furnished with furniture I cant change- neither I can re-docorate) so I am trying to do my best to make my home place feeling like home on a budget. Despite not having own apartment I can show, I am still trying to keep going and not losing passion. Winning this book would give me another source of beautiful inspiration. I own few books already about interiors and I daily read them, watching stunning images. I don’t speak German but I have German roots ( my mum speak fluent German, perhaps she can translate it to me haha) I have met the lovely winner Kimberly few days ago, and she is a trully winner! She so deserve it! Her home is incredible, her style is unique and she is a genuine amazing person! Congratulation for you as well, beautiful and again tryly inspiring story! I wish I can make one like that one day!All best, Anna
I would love to get this book!
Moving to London a few years ago was my “open gate” to the world of interior design from all over the world. You bloggers with your different views, approaches and tastes do influence our projects and help us for a better involvement of trends and way of life. Thanks to you we have a huge window on what HOME might mean to all the people out there. Keep on your great job!
First of all, I would love to congratulate the whole team for this lovely project. And second, I’d love to have that book!!!! Thanks you extended the period… Best wishes, Gudy!!!!
