Interior. Travel. Food. Fashion. Architecture.
Well placed
Well placed window, large and spacious with a wonderful view & lots of light
Always current
Can’t get enough of classic black & white. Always current regardless of style & expression.
Renovation
Renovation of dilapidated pig-sty built in 1780. Nice to give an old building a second chance.
Clothesline
Creative & unique way to do art ⭐️
Vegetarian
Vegetarian food in Madrid. The first restaurant we visited. Passed by & went back & ordered a quick lunch. Nice place, lovely atmosphere & staff. Lots of green & delicious food with different varieties of vegetarian options but also regular dishes.
Stockholm | Sweden
In Kungsträdgården in stockholm, the cherry trees were first planted in the 1950s as a gift from the Japanese government to the city of Stockholm. It’s a folk festival every year when the cherry trees burst out & for a few short, intense days at the turn of April – May the crowds are large & there’s pure joy in the air.
Essentials
Wardrobe essentials for a laidback & smart fashionable look. Staplers in black & white that can be combined endlessly.
Vegan future
More information about vegan food & how meat actually affects the environment to a very large extent, is needed to encourage people to try & change their eating habits, for the sake of the future.
Life
Life seems to be about wanting more, striving for more, wanting life to contain lots of New events & new activities. The quest to experience & look ahead. But maybe life is about the present, the moment & the time we have on earth. To just be & see it as a luxury.
Social media
The social media platform has become an important forum in our social life. The introduction of video on platforms has given everyday users an opportunity to further connect with family, friends & followers. It’s hard to remember a time before we took pictures of the food before eating it, to get the perfect overhead shot.
Monochrome
Monochrome, 2D- cafe in Singapore with a minimalistic interior in black & white. It’s stunning but a little bit weird (in a good way) at the same time.
Living bright
Living with white & light decor doesn’t have to be so advanced or difficult – it can look both beautiful & calming as a whole. Nothing that interferes with the experience.
National Orchid Garden
The National Orchid Garden is on the same location as the Singapore Botanic Garden & you could spend a full day here. A real treat & amazing displays – they have to be seen to understand the effort that has gone into curating them.
Sydney travel
Nice to be back in beautiful Sydney, with amazing weather & the best locations you can imagine. And friendly people everywhere.
Flower Dome
The Flower Dome in Singapore, is the largest Greenhouse in the world. Beauty & diversity of plants & flowers from all around the globe under a single roof. A suspended walkway 22 meters above the ground offers a spell binding view of Singapore & the lush surroundings. Spectacular & innovative – it’s certainly one of the icons in this city.
Colours
It’s daring to use strong colors & color combinations. This is graphically appealing & very harmoniously executed.
Sultan Mosque | Singapore
Sultan Mosque is a must-see if you’re in the historic Kampong Gelam district. Masjid Sultan, as it’s also known, is a prominent mosque in Singapore & one of the country’s most impressive religious buildings & designated as a national monument.
French-American sculptor
Niki de Saint Phalle, French-American sculptor, painter, filmmaker & author of colorful hand-illustrated books. She was well known in Europe, but her work was little-seen in the US, until her final years in San Diego.
“The French-born, American-raised artist is one of the most significant female & feminist artists of the 20th century, and one of the few to receive recognition in the male-dominated art world during her lifetime”.
Crocheting
Often amazed at how creative & talented people are. @virkase is wonderful with her imaginative crochet on Instagram ⭐️
Simplicity
Turn-of-the-century environment, wooden floors, stucco, apartment with rooms in a row, light walls, simplicity.
Art Exhibition
Asia Pacific’s biggest art fair in a decade is taking place at MBS Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore. A meeting point for collectors, buyers & art lovers.
A great opportunity to engage with over 160 of the world’s leading galleries. And enjoy exiting & thought provoking art.
Winter land
Beautiful with a white interior & even more beautiful when inside & outside merge into a white winter landscape.
Black & white
Out with Christmas & in with a slightly toned down but graphic replacement in black & white.
Beach time ☀️
First day of the new year, out on the beach, as far east as you can get on Sentosa island. Pleasant warmth, a little breezy for once & pleasant atmosphere. Singapore at its best.
Website
Website: javligtgott.se – where you’ll find lots of tips & ideas & a compilation of many nice menus & recipes to be inspired by. Especially relevant for the New Year’s menu. These dishes were brought up to New Year’s last year.
Creamy artichoke soup with fried oyster wedges. Potato gratin, minced meat, garlic broccoli red wine sauce. Crisp forest berry pie with shortcrust pastry, whipped cream with vanilla ice cream.
Asian modern art
Zhang Hui i- a Chinese Asian modern & contemporary painter that’s been included in exhibitions throughout China & Europe & has established herself as an important figure in the contemporary Chinese art world. The characters in her works are all childlike & lovely, with dark skin & a round face, all glowing from her childhood memories.
