Worn beauty / 156

Hej friends,

I am very much into vintage right now. I guess I’m influenced by all the markets I’ve been visiting with friends & family. I like the atmosphere, the feeling of excitement that creates, all individuals visiting or selling, the smell, the music, the diversity of supply, the sense of the bargain in the air, well, you know…it’s fascinating. I am quite smitten by all the stuff that have their own story, that have been someone’s beloved item, which will now be sold to & go on to new adventures. It’s also exciting that someone else can see the beauty in things that others has got tired of. It’s like a public festival & who on earth would say no to such an exciting experience. Well, I guess there are some since we all are different with different needs, expectations & interests. Fair enough. Let’s just rejoice over diversity & everyones freedom to choose. So, if you are interested in worn beauty, please scroll further…

As times goes by / 82

Hej friends,

I spent some time with a few friends looking through old magazines. It struck me that sometimes it’s quite difficult to guess the period of time by the images. And these are new magazines including some that are just a few years old. Those we were looking at were reflecting the 70′s & styled, down to the smallest detail so that both the clothes, makeup, hairstyles & props was identical to that time period. I sometimes find it hard to keep track of whether it’s a picture from today or a genuinely old one. How will they be able to know later on then. Maybe a silly though perhaps but I do sometimes wonder though. These fashion images were seriously difficult to discern. Comparing them with photos from much older magazines & in that the hair styles & make up was similar, we were only able to guess. I’ve picked a few images that might be old or just looks old…you decide, as times goes by:)

Skinheads / 79

Hej Friends,

Leather is a fantastic material & with right treatment it will last a life time, at least. When we had small children, people would always recommend leather sofas to the living room, because it was so easy to clean. There’s loads of stylish sofas in leather. Our first furniture was actually leather sofas. We were convinced by family & friends that leather was a wise investment, as it would become a life purchase – as was the common approach in the good old days. I don’t know, we were never totally delighted in them, hot to sit in after a while & did not feel kind to the tiny soft bodies of our children. They were stiff quite simply. But one thing were certain at least, they are truly sustainable.We gave them to my in-laws who installed them in the reading room in front of the fire place…& they still look like new. The thing is that they are much more comfortable to sit in today, twenty years later. Amazing! Maybe, I’m thinking, maybe, I should take them back:)

Anyway, I pulled together some images in leather/skin as todays theme,

Manly men / 50

Hej friends,

I’m thinking of men! while it’s a bit cloudy outside although the sun has begun to shine through. So why men – well, I got huge response on one of the post I made a while ago. It’s raining men. I’m happy that that went down well but I’m not going to blog purely about men, sorry. I’ve gone halfway & chosen to keep it within my interests, so todays post it’s about … interior men might like or appreciate. I have to generalise a bit – to not be perceived as prejudiced, it’s a balancing act. It’s like believing that all women like pink, which of course isn’t true at all. Let’s take a look & I can only hope that my male readers will take it in the right way.

Here you go then, dear manly men:)

Dark brown wooden floor, leather couch & a hint of a hunter with the skin blanket, which I hope is fake / Vart nya hem

Place of work with a sense of order & structure. Grey tones with black table & dark brown wooden chairs / Decor 8

Leather again – why’s that.Frayed & worn leather armchair with rivets & the sport bag with leather details / Cox & Cox

It doesn’t have to be leather of course, it could be like this - monochrome-living with a white base / Family living

 A small beautifully set of shaving stuff / Glen Proebstel

 Black brown drawer, mahogany brown cupboard & a convenient clothes stands / Pinterest

Oops, where did he come from - this cliche image of men. I’m innocent / mmmica

Nice set up with the sofa, low coffee table, rocking chair & cushions & rug / Nice room

 Neat, simple & uncomplicated kitchen with an open solution to the living room / Love Nordic design
