Chrissoveloni Palace

One of the most beautiful building in central Bucharest is Chrissoveloni Palace. It was revived and turned into the largest bookstore in Romania.

The building belonged to a famous family of bankers and was restored by the only heir remained alive.

Chrissoveloni Palace was built in 1860. It has hosted the most powerful Romanian banking family. Here there were sleeping quarters and administrative offices. After the financial crisis of the '30s, the building was transformed into a popular bazaar and later the communists have turned it into a shop called Familia.

After few years, the architectural jewel was won in court by the heir, Jean Chrissoveloni, and he had only one desire - to convey it to the culture.

Thus appeared Carturesti Carusel bookstore.

 10,000 books, 5,000 music albums and movies, an art gallery and a bistro are placed on the 6 floors of the Chrissoveloni Palace. 

In this beautiful place you get the "book, music, tea and trimmings" - this is the slogan of the bookstore.

The place is now a culture carousel, where even if you're not an erudite, you can spin and forget the noise of the city.

Only one hairy customer waiting reopening the club.

Crazy traffic

Bucharest is a crowded city. At the peak hours the traffic is infernal. What can you do in a traffic jam? You can do some pictures, especially if you have a glass building reflecting the traffic.

Fence with magnolia

Spring comes shyly. A stroll through the elegant neighborhood Domenii from Bucharest is always a delight. 

First, I saw the fence. It is elegant and different than any other I've seen.

Then I saw magnolia that blooms.

Nostalgia

I told you here about the story of murals from Gara de Nord metro station.

Today I present to you another mural. I think the right name is Nostalgia: the women with retro hairstyle, the velocipedes and the car.

Mon Chic Jardin

"Mon Chic Jardin" is a flower shop. I was surprised by this nice arrangement in front of the flower shop.

Fences with curls

Spring came with rainy days. If the sun isn't on the sky we found the sun on the fences.

I found these two fences on a quiet street with old houses.

The fences were curved in the shape of a stylized sun. I think the neighbors were in love with this model. Fences are not identical but are similar.

Evolution

During the event - Bucharest metroArt, the artists from "I love Bucharest" changed the atmosphere of the metro station Gara de Nord 1.

They painted more murals that combines elements characteristic of interbellum Bucharest with contemporary visual elements.

The carried out works have changed the austere atmosphere of the metro station and created a visual identity for passengers. This is a special reference point in our daily journey.

Small cute ponies

Here is a place of leisure in a mountain area.

We stayed here to have a lunch and then we visited the surroundings.  Besides restaurant they have a green area for recreation. They have also a few ponies for the amusement of children. It was nice and relaxing.

I am a blonde girl and I like being caressed.
