Flowers

 

Weekend is here and I have visited the flower shop. Seems that I cannot get enough there, so much nice stuff that I do not know what to choose. I want it all!  This time I was about to buy boxwood but the right size for my balcony was sold out. I have to wait...So this pot and flower and some other flowers and branches, too, followed me home. And the more I went out on the balcony, the more I started to picture one flower pot  here and one there and one boxwood here and one tree there, vegetables and herbs and yes, finally a complete garden in there...! Green everywhere! Oh... I have to get some sleep and calm down. I do not know where this interest in flowers and garden has come. It is new!

 

 

Have a nice weekend all!

Sweet Saturday

You see. At my place cats and birds are best friends. I love my new poster from Aprill Aprill! It is made by talented Johanna who always inspires with her originality and creativity. I like her style!

On the balcony Eero Aarnio's Puppy is still waiting for some company. At least for some flowers...?

This sweet Saturday I have been to a spring concert with my mother. A choir was singing everything from Cohen to Mozart. And we enjoyed it!

My favourite seasons are here!

Happy Easter

 

Happy Easter! I am busy eating chocolate, meeting family and friends and enjoying the free time. Here is a sneak peek from my shelf. I photographed a lot more but those went to the trash bin. Perhaps another day!

 

The sunny side of life

The birds are singing and I have been thinking about how to furnish my balcony and outdoor areas in general. The ideal would, of course, be to have several groups around a house as none of the chairs really fill all purposes in one go, but if you cannot, it is already a lot trickier. I would like to be able to eat breakfast and lie down and sunbath (with legs and everything) as well as lean my head when sitting! And if you put also the criteria nice and comfortable to this group, you see what I mean. Here are at least some nice findings, if you reduce some demands.

 

And all lovely flowers. I would like to have a real mix of colourful flowers.

Nature's and summer's gift!

Lamp love

 

Tom Dixon launches newcomers to the Beat collection in April.

Table and floor lamps.

 

Also the pedants will get a new shade - grey with silver plate inside.

 

I see a new hot trend coming... What do you say?

The black newcomers spoke to my heart.

 

The lights will be shown at this year's Salone Internazionale del Mobile

trade fair in Milan from 8 to 13th April.

Sooo happy for the sunlight and that my holiday starts tomorrow!

My head is full of ideas and inspiration...

 

Good night!

Here comes a late mood board...

On the menu

 

 

I wish I could order some inspiration and creativity from that menu!*

Because today I am just so tired...

 

A quick mood board with my new shoes as well as some colour + black and white inspiration.

 

I am thinking so much nowadays of what to start illustrating and how, but I never get it done.

Always something else on my mind. Hopefully soon!

Should I make more detailed illustrations or simply graphic ones?

 

The last picture illustrates that my spring holiday begins soon.

I saved my winter holiday for spring as it is much more fun to be outside then.

One week to go!

 

 

Good night fellows!

I have a new favourite blog.

Inspiring!

Blue porcelain

 

1-2-3-4

Today I am inspired by old tableware. When I first saw blue porcellain on the House of Philia blog in January I put my head on the side and thought... No, I do not like this. But how come? You see it for a while in the blogosphere and suddenly you find yourself looking for blue porcellain on the flea market. I would not buy any new pieces as I think this is at least for me a temporary fad, but a cake plate or something from the flea market would surely follow me home. This time I did not find the correct pattern, though, only other things in blue porcelain, that is, a plate from the Norwegian ceramist Kari Nyquist (see below) and... note to myself. Do not think too long. Of course someone else found the hiding-place under the other ugly plates and it was gone. Only afterwards I realized that this plate was made by a real known Norwegian ceramist.

If you like newer patterns, the plates for Arabia's 140th anniversary are a good choice, too. I only now realized that the "sun plate" that I also admired here, is now sold out. What a shame...

What are your opinions of old tableware? Do you also come to think of old memories, like grandma's plates with pattern? Blue, green and brown plates? I just picture them in a lilac arbour on a sunny summer day. I have to find a cake plate!

Now it is Sunday and I will be busy doing nothing. (Listen here. And...I thought that this song was much more modern than the other one that won). Which one do you like?

Have a nice Sunday!

What are your plans for the day?

Spring mood

My dreams have come true. It is spring in February! This is something extraordinary and has never happened before. So a really big change compared to some weeks ago when I wrote this blog post. So no snow anymore and the birds are singing. No one could be happier than me. You could mildly say that I dislike winter and freezing. I celebrate this with a new spring mood board. In black!

I really want that leaf decoration...

Danish treasure

 

Oh! It has been a while since a home inspired me this much. I think it is unique.

Absolutely my taste. So much small details to look at.

I like when it is like this. When you come home to someone and it takes time to

look around and be amazed about all small things.

 

What I like most?

First of all the lovely Danish teak chairs in the perfect brown nuance.

The mixed collection around the table with brown and black chairs of different shape.

The black Tom Dixon lamps.

The shelves with all kinds of small birds and colourful spines.

The cosy collection of vases. Danish, of course.

The great variety of wall art.

And do you see the black lamp with holes in it? 

I would like to call and ask them, what in the world is this? It looks so nice!

I also like the magnetic, black, tidy noticeboard from the Oak Men

with all kinds of interesting cards.

The plant. How cool.

Even the cake is artistic with figs and pomegranates.

 

A perfect syled home. Real aesthetes.

Or I think it is not styled. It is done with the heart.

Here live Anders Norup, jewellery designer for Handcraftedcph, and Nina Lund.

  

All this I found via the lovely blog Boligcious and their recently published online magazine Boligcious Lookbook. Created by talented Malene and her staff.

Take a look here and get inspired you, too! I will be on the lookout for their next issue!

Thanks a lot!

The sun always shines on TV

 

Oh yes. It is so easy to live here and now when it is -20 °C outside. I really try to not dream ahead to the spring and world of tulips... Where there are no tights and no static electricity in your hair and everybody is happy and strolling around at an easy pace, enjoying the weather. Because now the streets are quite empty. Sigh...The year's coldest months are here. The only one that is outside now, is the weather itself. So we leave you alone weather; have fun out there. We do not need you. We can be inside instead (and look at the sun through the windows). So let's escape reality to the world of pictures...

Tulips and vases / Encouraging words/ Glitter and glamour / Menu candleholder

The more I see Menu's wall candleholder, the more I like it. But it requires its space. So you do not run into it. With your electrostatic hair.

And psst... talking about the weather. A trip to memory lane, here, where I did not care about any wall candleholders, but posters of Mr Harket. Sweet days.

Have a nice Sunday! Is it warmer at your place?

Love at first sight

 

OoH no. My heart cannot handle these. It almost stopped.

If I open the window and wish hard...?

St. Knut's Day

 

Tomorrow is Tjugondag Knut (see here), that is, if the Christmas trees and decorations have not been taken down by now, tomorrow is the last day. Hurry...!

So I must be the last one blogging about Christmas now, but perhaps you forgive me if share my own pictures now? Better later than never... Hope you like them! I would be so glad to hear from you!

Joanna and personality

The interior architect and designer Joanna Laajisto's home has circulated around the blogosphere this week. Usually I am allergic to posting things that is everywhere but the photos that I liked most this time were usually not shared by the bloggers. So here they come!

 

You see the black wall lamp? It is her own design. Called Edit.

 

I liked her expression that she willingly helps with interior planning (bathroom, kitchen and storage), but that the decoration must be done by the inhabitants themselves.

 

So true. Personality. You cannot buy personality.

 

And the Aalto stool never disappoints. So simple and with so many different faces. But always right.

 

The cushion. It is nice. Vintage-style.

 

I cannot say anything about the inside. But I have always liked the magazine covers of Kinfolk.

I would love to have them on my sofa table!

Artistic enough!

Wish you a happy weekend!

 

 

With flowers in my hair...

 

Jag är fortsättningsvis så galen i dessa lampor som visades i Plaza Interiör 9/2013. Hanna Wessman har stylat den nyproducerade lägenheten i Stockholm med vackra tyger, design, vintage prylar och... dessa lampor. Lite som Dagg vasen men i taket... Jag hoppas att hon inte lämnade dem i lägenheten. Once in a lifetime fynd!

Annars väldigt i spring mood just nu. Ingen snö och så får det gärna förbli.

I am still so crazy about these lamps that were shown in Plaza Interiör 9/2013. Hanna Wessman has styled the newly produced apartment in Stockholm with beautful textiles, design, vintage finds and...these lamps. Looks a little like the Dagg vase. Just that it hangs from the ceiling instead...I hope she did not leave the lamps in the apartment. A once in a lifetime finding!

Otherwise I am so in spring mood right now. No snow and hope it remains like that.
