This was just so very nice that it had to be posted immediately. Parisian bedroom with pivoting window, featured in the stylist Hans Blomquist's and photographer Debi Treloar's book The Natural Home (2012). Lovely!

Perfect tones

 

My latest Pinterest inspiration. Somehow all matched so good together so I just had to cut and paste into a collage. Kitchen inspiration in a nutshell. I love the pink flower in the old pot mixed with the modern white Danish bowl and the pale blue marble kitchen.

Finnish designed tableware

1 Iittala, Sarjaton 
2 Marimekko, In good company
3 Marimekko, Tasaraita
4 Marimekko, Pallo
5 Iittala, Mariskooli
6 Iittala, Teema

When I buy tableware it is almost always, without hardly any exceptions, Finnish design. Iittala, Arabia and Marimekko. Simply because I think there is nothing else that compares to them. I have the whole white (+ black, too) series of Teema that I think is perfect to use either as it is, or, randomly mixed with other items and colours that fit my mood that day.

The first glasses I bought many, many years ago when I left home for studying were the Kaj Franck glasses in different colours. Nowadays I think they are a bit too small, but are perfect for children and I would never ever give them away for any reason, although the colours are not exactly what I would buy today.

When I was younger Mariskooli was not very popular. I referred to it as something that grandmothers had jelly fruits in and liked. But yes, I changed my mind. It is perfect for serving cookies, candies, nuts or jam!

And not the least. I find it just a perfect idea that Finnair and Marimekko have started a cooperation. Finnish design and tableware on Finnish flights, that's just obvious and the way I think it is ought to be!

Kitchen items

Some kitchen inspiration. Perhaps it is too late for Santa, but I picked some things that I like.

As you see I love Svenskt Tenn patterns (of any kind) mixed with black and white.

Christmas decorations

Stilleben shop has opened a new web shop and they have a lot of cute things for your Christmas tree.  Take a look at the nice and cosy Christmas decorations (2, 4-6)! Wooden hearts and owls, stars and funguses.

There are also some new Christmas items in Iittala's webshop. I picked the  frosty lantern and stylish glass balls as my favourites (1,3). The glass balls belong to Iittala's new series "Sarjaton".  I like the pattern looking like a forest.

1. Snow lantern, Fire, Iittala

2. Wooden hearts, Stilleben shop

4. Lars Rank's star, Stilleben shop

5. Pi Bjørg's fly agaric, Stilleben shop

Wintry shopping list

Some shopping tips for cold winter evenings. The new candlestick by Georg Jensen is just absolutely gorgeous, isn't it?

The knitting trend also influences me somehow. Hmm, I just have to think if there is any relative who could start knitting something for me... I have no patience for it, so that's out of the question.

I also found this Greenlandic woman cushion at By Nord's website. The hood just makes it look so cosy!

During the wekeend I have decided to start planning Christmas gifts. At least it is a good ambition. I don't like to be in the last minute. But it is easier said than done.
