This post continues from this one.

To visit Sous Sol we had to just cross the street. Maria Velizioti and Yiorgos Andritsakis while renovating this space, they found out that apart from the two rooms in front, used previously by a painter of orthodox icons, there were more rooms in the back as well as a small yard.

Last week I learned about the existence of two very interesting groups of people: Alternative Tours of Athens and by local Athens.
 

ATA is organizing tours of special interest such as architecture, photography, biking etc. in order to help you know the real Athens and discover its hidden treasures. If you are not the type of visitor that will be satisfied with merely the usual sightseeing tour or if you live here but feel that there is still much to learn about your own city, ATA are your people.

More palettes

This weekend didn't have any crafting at all nor any home improvement work  since we had to attend two kids parties plus we are still looking what  woodstove to buy. We 're heading to the middle of October and I am afraid the first colds will find us unprepared. So Saturday morning we were on the road to find the stove. All of the shops selling heating stuff I have visited till now are just a step above a warehouse as far as it concerns decorating. But one of those I visited on Saturday was a very pleasant surpise. So I raised my mobile and took these shots to share it with you. Following the trend that uses palettes to make anything you can imagine, it proves that even a store can look pretty and appealing with little money and a couple of good ideas. The lovers of diy among you could possibly find some good ideas here to steal.

So here's my own addition to the endless list of diy projects with palettes on the internet:
