I found out about Swedish stylist Sasa Antic from Anna and thought I’d share her delightful portfolio with you today for a little Friday inspiration. I’ve had a very full day as I attended an art exhibit and had a doctor’s appointment (yay! clean bill of health!), then I went for coffee with two friends and I’m finally home after this full day and well… I’m tired! But of course there’s no way I can skip a day of blogging as there is always so much that I’m finding to talk about here, I have about 12 things in queue already to write about next week! All I can say is that I’m so grateful that I love decorating and design as much as I do because writing on this blog is never tiring or draining for me – even after a long day it’s a source of comfort, inspiration and joy for me to sit here before you, a lovely friend waiting for something beautiful to see.
I was thinking about my blog the other day as I just celebrated my 4th year of blogging full-time and have now entered my 5th year. As you know, the 5th year of doing anything consistently on the web is to be counted in dog years, so if 1 year for a human is for a dog 7 years then I’ve been blogging for 35 years already. I do web math this way simply because things start to feel really old and boring online after mere weeks, never mind months and YEARS. Truth is, if you can keep blogging after 4 years of it like me, I assume I’ll be doing this for many more years to come. I can’t imagine my life with decor8. And I want to thank all of you who visit me and read my RSS feeds each day and I’m very, very happy that you tune in and show me a good amount of support, friendship and that in turn, you share your opinions and finds with me to via your emails and comments here. I digress… back to the lovely work of Sasa Antic who has, by the name, the most unusual and cool name don’t you think?
Sasa is props and set designer/stylist for prestigious clients like H&M, Ahlems, IKEA, Glamour, Elle Interior and Family Living magazine and it’s no wonder why as you view her tear sheets and photographs in her portfolio. She’s extremely creative with great vision and demonstrates patience, a thorough understanding of composition, and is obviously an expert at spotting trends and knows how to best highlight them in a way that meets her clients demands while still remaining current in addition to allowing her artistic interpretation to shine through. What a delicate balance! And such lovely inspirational work.
Enjoy!

Happy 4 years Holly! Your blog is always a delight which is why I keep coming back.

Beautiful- the light, open style is inspiring!

Hey Holly! Do you mind if I ask how you started blogging? I read your blog almost everyday, and I’ve been thinking of starting a blog myself.. But I just can’t figure out what I would start with.. I’d really like to do a cooking blog. Any tips for how to get going? How much time to invest at first?

Have a wonderful weekend:)

What a gorgeous portfolio, i love every single image.
Holly, this post is so sweet. You’re so right about how, when it comes to the web, things get tired in such a short amount of time. You should really oat yourself on the back that after all of time you’ve devoted to decor8 things just keep getting better. I certainly do hope that I’m visiting decor8 everyday for many more years to come.

Hy Holly, congrats on your blog, I<3. I would suggest that Saša Anti? is a man, and name is from former Yugoslavia, either Serbian or Croatian and common in those parts.
bye bye

Awww, such great images to take with us as we head into the weekend. I’ve great plans to begin a master closet reorganization and the photo of the boots hanging on the wall like artwork are inspiring me to try to do things a little differently as I rearrange and organize.

Saša is very inspiring as a person as well! But one thing: it’s a man, not a lady :)
I made a post about him a couple of days ago; http://hello-tiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/stylisten-sasa-antic-stylist-sasa-antic.html

Hi Holly,
I’m a new fan of your blog. I have to change my apartment at the end of the month, and this pictures are a very good inspiration for all my projects. Thank you!!
January 10th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Hi Holly,
Not sure what you are struggling with (its personal I am sure), but I hope your quiet restorative weekend helps you sort out your goals. I want you to know that you (not just the pictures you show) are an inspiration to me. I am an infant in the blogging world having only been doing ti since Oct. 2009, but it didn’t take me long to figure out who does it well (you). And you are nice too. All the best, Lynn
January 10th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Thank you for posting! I enjoy your blog the most of any I’ve found so far and you are consistently putting out inspirational posts. I am very glad it isn’t tiring and that we can expect more to come. Well done and Carry on!

It’s interesting how Saša (pronounced Sasha, usually a nickname for Alexander) is a male name in Eastern Europe (at least in the former Yugoslavia) but female in Western Europe.
Great portfolio!
