At the beginning of confinement, in the greyness of Mars, Maca Atencio imagined with her friend illustrator Lucile Lesueur des Coloriages to download on her blog.For the interior designer, which launched an online store of stationery and accessories with the illustrator, the color is second nature.The Shoebox house of Ville-Émard where she lives with her husband Esteban and their children, Nico, 7 years old, and Olivia, 4, takes up all the tones of the rainbow with a penchant for pastel nuances.
"I think this passion for color comes from my country of origin, Venezuela, where I have not been for nine years," she explains.She also finds herself in the way I get dressed and I cook!"The young mother is also convinced that a colorful interior helps to develop the imagination of her little ones.
Multivitamin inspiration
Instagram account @hey.Maca is a concentrate of multivitamin inspiration in decoration, travel and cooking.Her tens of thousands of subscribers and licked photos brought the content designer collaborations with Quebec and international brands.The success of her homemade DIY gave her the idea of organizing workshops in the studio she has been renting for a year and a half, in Saint-Henri.“And then the covid arrived;I had to cancel all the projects I had planned, "says Maca.
As she is a freelance freelancer, confinement has greatly shaken her activity.Between the home school of Nico and Olivia and her other mom's tasks, she continued to do what she did very well: take photos and relay them on her online platforms."For example, cooking super pancakes or composing beautiful bouquets of flowers, since we had time to do things at home," she explains.And, icing on the cake, she improvised an online sale of used clothing from her studio, the "Awesome Sales", with Josiane and Carolane Stratis.It also plans to enrich it with vintage objects for the house at the end of summer.
Lilas pantry
In parallel, Maca of course continued to skim Pinterest to continue the development of her pretty little house of 1000 square feet.Among all her achievements is that of the entrance to which she is most proud: a peach holder wearing a tablet.It is also delighted with the lilac pantry located below the mezzanine overlooking the kitchen.Plastic and cardboard packaging has been advantageously replaced by much more practical glass jars on a daily basis."People loved this creation.Some even asked me if I could do the same with them, "she reports.
This summer, she dreams of "revamping" the laundry area, too white in her eyes.She still has to find a favorite print which she will cut into vinyl using a machine in her studio, and will place on the wall.And to convince Esteban: "My husband has very minimalist tastes, we must make compromises," says this eternal lover of terrazzo patterns, which we find at the bend of a wall or a bench.

Terrazzo wall
Less permanent than wallpaper, the self -adhesive pads allowed Maca to create the Terrazzo wall of his dreams in the parental room.Here is the detail of its DIY accessible to all:
- Choose Terrazzo style vinyl stickers, for example at Station D, in a palette in harmony with the colors of the room.
-Make sure the wall is smooth.
- delimit a portion of wall to decorate, for example, a little higher than a chest of drawers or a table, and objects placed on this piece of furniture.Maca already had a wooden tablet that served as a demarcation.
- Determine the space you want between the self -adhesive pads (1.5 cm here).
- Admire the result!
