Pool-life

I have checked in on family & friends on FB during the Swedish summer & all seemed to enjoy their summer, when the sun is up & working, which haven’t always been the case. Summer is over by now, back home. At the same time, we are heading into the first days of spring, in Australia. Not that we can complain about the winter weather – sunny, hot & truly wonderful, all in all.

We have pool thoughts in terms of our backyard. We have in any case come so far, that we’ve agree that it should be a tall form slender pool that’s ideal for swimming. We want to save some of the garden to fruit trees & greenery, of course. This is still in its infancy & a lot could happen before we take the first steps. So meanwhile, I’m enjoying all kinds of pools around the world, through some web browsing. Life can be so simple sometimes, right? Everything is within reach in terms of inspiration. These pools are more from a holiday angle but it’s nice anyway. That ‘s what pool-life is about, after all.

Daily inspiration, white kitchen

There is a lot going on in this kitchen. I like the white & fresh expression. Open shelves in combination with glass doors makes the kitchen area interesting. It’s exciting when you can see the contents inside even though it might require some structure for it not to be perceived as messy. The lower kitchen area in front gives stability to the room. (I only think it is too much with six pendants above).

Daily inspiration, hamburger

Now & then I get a craving for a hamburger – but it has to be homemade burgers with fresh bread, vegetables, onions & somewhat sour cream alternatively natural yoghurt. Or as the ones below – looks nice enough to me 🙂

Daily inspiration, plates,

Rough porcelain with texture & somewhat bleached or colorless may seem boring, but not when it looks like this. Is not it nice? It really makes a difference on a set table, with its simple expression.

Chandeliers

I’ve been up in the attic to look up our old chandelier that we bought when we were first married. What was for many many years ago. But these classic lights never goes out of time. This one is a classic chandelier, like the first picture below, but something simpler in shape. They can of course have incredibly different looks. The great thing is that they work in all areas of the home no matter what style it is.

My thought is to plug in our old one in the hallway which has high ceiling. But I guess that we have to have family council before we can take a decisions. Everyone has to have a point of view on what & why, if we are to change at home. Don’t know why we took that path when they were small, the guys. It’s not as charming now when they have the need to express what they think – all the time 🙂
