Illustrative

From time to time I get stuck sometimes for prints & illustrations with simple, graphic & sometimes almost childish motives or traits. There’s something about them that makes them more personal & appealing. Not that I don’t like big well crafted paintings & artwork … but it’s maybe more about the innermost inspiration for the simple, somewhat cartoon & occasionally unfinished. Sometimes it can get to be black & white, sketched & maybe with an accent colour.

Other times it interesting with a lot of colour … but still on a limited scale & in collage form, perhaps. Such as further down on this post with the colourful postcards or posters, but still with the childish playful style. Illustrative, simple, cartoon sketch or animated graphic image that takes its place, regardless of size & fills the home with joy.

Daily inspiration, baby cradle

This beautiful piece of furniture would be a safe buy – if we would have been in this wonderful situation. We have that period behind us, but it’s a beautiful piece of furniture – a baby cradle in light wood.

Daily inspiration, pasta restaurant

I am always on the look for nice restaurants & coffee shops – more so than boutiques, actually. The attraction is the architecture, the decor, the menu, the food,aromas & atmosphere. It need not be expensive & exclusive either. A combination of all this makes a place interesting, nice & welcoming. Well selected staff does the trick too.

Necessary piece of furniture

The sofa is probably one of the most necessary piece of furniture in a home. The everyday activities of various family situations are significantly different from before. When I grew up, the couch was somewhat of a status symbol & absolutely not available for us kids to sit in. It stood there & dusted, between visits from friends & acquaintances. The few times we got to sit on the couch felt like something very special – and woe, if we accidentally spilled anything. It was equal to a death sentence.

Today there is a huge range, incredible comfort, varying prices & quality – not to mention removable covers. No worries about white sofas, it’s just to take off & throw in the washing machine.

Daily inspiration, floral

I must say that I am a bit confused. Wherever I look, I see flowers – not just any, but more the rosy, floral & illustrative shapes. I’m not particularly interested in floral although I never say no. I think that everything works when it is in its element. I like this pattern with a bit childish idiom. It’s this type of floral patterns that pops up so often nowadays.
