Comfortable

So today I felt for a post with some armchairs in different styles & shapes. That’s after a rather uncomfortable evening in a restaurant with great interior, great food & great people. It was decorated with small, small table, stools & armchairs with a mix of old & new – very nice & inviting environment albeit slightly dark. The thing is that it looked really nice which is a big part of an experience but once you’ve been sitting for a while, you feel it in your whole body.

The armchairs are too high for the low coffee tables or opposite & the tables are too small for more than two & you have to bend or lean to reach for things. It became way too uncomfortable after a while. It’s great with inspiring places & it’s nice when it looks stylish, cool or different. It’s just that I’m always impressed when it’s combined with functionality – when someone have taken the time to think through everything.

Daily inspiration, kitchen design

A cool kitchen which has a super thoughtful design with a lot of invisible elements that give a sense of something new & different. Industrial style with the right attributes & material selection. The brick wall does its part too. Design: Tom Dixon

Daily inspiration, stackable

I fell in love with this stool – in nice colours but also in white. Nice to look at, simple, stylish playful design & easy to move about as needed or set aside since they are easy to stack – simply lovely, like small tasty candies!

Daily inspiration, simple & neat

You don’t get that much colour when I post things about clothing. It’s usually more single coloured items but I guess that you aware of that by now. Here’s a nice image with a beige trench coat & scarf & black trousers with matching bag. The style I like!

Small houses

Houses, rooftops & one dimensional forms of houses, a bit old-fashioned in the shape, the type in the way that you draw when you are a child – it has always had an enticement for me. I don’t know what it is that makes them so cute. Older cottages generally look like that. Especially in fairy tales, if you didn’t happen to be a princess living in a castle. Small houses, something I’m fond of!
