Something in rattan

I was looking around for a laundry basket the other day. We have a stylish thing in black & white at home, with good handles that’s roomy inside. It has now become a bit flimsy & worn so it’s about time to trade up. Rattan wasn’t top of mind & probably not the type of material I generally would look for, although a chair or chairs,would suit me fine. I’ve always liked rattan in the summer, in the garden.

My mother in law had period when she painted baskets in a typical blue colour from her childhood. She then decorated them in a white pattern that became her signum. I had these baskets everywhere, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, garage, playroom & the backyard. I was quite tired of the blue colour & rattan, for quite a while to come, after that. Natural materials are nice in general & rattan has the advantage to age neat & becomes more beautiful with time. I am hereby healed from past experience & ready for this beautiful material … colorless, white, black or with some color of some sort.

Woodenhead / 215

I figured I would stick to the theme of wood again today. However, more generally & more mixed, not just black & wood together. Wood is just so nice & appealing. Besides, I’m in the mood … right now wood is up to date … in my world. In our new house where we recently moved in, the whole kitchen area is in birch. We have painted the walls in white. It flows together into a bright & pleasant whole with furniture in birch & white. The house is about 100 years old but has an extension made ​​in the present. The old part has darker wood & details from that particular time. I’m glad it has been preserved. When you go through the small house, it feels as if you’re going through two different eras. It’s nice to think about those who have lived here before - the difference from then to now.

I wonder what they would have thought, about the developments & the improvements that has happened since then. Not to mention the neighbourhood that  has gone from a few streets into a giant suburb. Well, it is as it is … I’ll keep my thoughts to myself instead. Let’s go back to the theme of wood. Here we go…

Basket love / 129

Hej friends,

The whole last week felt like a weekend, it’s a wonderful feeling, worth all money in the world. I went to a new hair dresser even though I’m little reluctant to switch to a new person, just like that. I’ve been to the same place for a few years now. It’s a busy there & you have to book way before. The reason I’m changing is simply because the concept of time does not exist there. What would usually take around 40 minutes ends up with around 2 – 2 1/2 hours or more, almost every time. It’s a lot of activity going on – talks, discussions, debates, opinions so they tend to forget to work at the same time, too busy to keep up with things happening around. Don’t get me wrong, they are all so sweet & nice. I just haven’t the patience to sit & hang around. Especially as I expected it to take a certain time & have other things to do afterwards.

Yes, I sound boring but that’s the fact. First you have to wait once you arrive, then get your hair washed, then wait again, then move over to a chair, wait, get your haircut, wait, get your hair dried with some waiting between again … talk, talk, talk & finally time to pay & then thanks & exhausted. Although last time, I overheard a long discussion about baskets. These were apparently new range / assortment somewhere. It got me thinking around this subject, so here you are, some nice images of baskets … to use wherever it suits you:)

PS.

It has been wicked easy to manage my hair & the hair dresser was sooo gooood, especially that it happened quickly, without frills.
