Bricks

Here in Australia we have an endless number of houses built in masonry in different styles and in different colour variations. From the red, to white, dark brick as well as black. Incredibly beautiful houses from the mid-1800s, to the new modern buildings. The materials range from polished white, rough brick to a combination of modern wooden & old brick. I appreciate when one attempts to retain the old house & adds to or builds with the new. Two eras that interact is always charming.

I have not always been fond of bricks but it has slowly crept on, like falling in love, with the fabulous surroundings that influences. Especially restaurants & coffee shops around Sydney’s suburbs. Take a look & see what you think!

Daily inspiration, dark kitchen

I am always wary of dark environments. It can drag down the experience a bit, if it’s in a small area also. This is a very neat kitchen that’s well thought out into the smallest detail. Great materials – wood, metal & mosaic with a lot of black – roof, walls, details & the rug on the floor. Nicely done!

Daily inspiration, summer feel

An image that creates a lovely summer feel. A cozy corner of the sofa in a pleasant turquoise colour with a mix of cushions, striped blanket & a bright yellow floor lamp. Nice also with a white curtain in the background.

Things

Don’t you wonder over all the things we surround ourselves with, sometimes. Or the things we collect, or simply don’t have the ability to get rid of, or rather, don’t want to get rid of. Loads of things – the linen closet, china cabinet, a full wardrobe or a bookshelf full of books – or other things. We all have a preference for different things. We buy, we inherit, we get, we make, we collect & so on.

I have a fondness for textiles, right now bed linen & a big love for books. For a long time, it was wooden toys, cartoon movies, & certain plastic figures that my boys collected. Anyway, it’s rather fascinating what & how much stuff we gather over time. Things that may have no economic value, but of great importance for us, mostly because of the emotional significance.

Daily inspiration, kitchen again

I seem to have a penchant for kitchens right, or rather, have had it quite a while now. The kitchen is the heart of the home after all. I like this interior with concrete floor & the white base. It’s often very neat with bare details like the metal frame, which creates a border of the kitchen space. It becomes an airier impression as well, without a lot of top cabinets – simple with a shelf to gathers the everyday things that’s often in use.

The black colour on the cabinet doors is repeated on the chairs & ties together both spaces. I would have used a rug to soften up the space, but the tablecloth takes care of that instead. A really nice space!
