Black, blacker, blackest

It’s time to post something in black because black is so refreshing, beautiful & inspiring. I prefer the crispy expression where black is an addition – without that it dampens the overall feeling. I find that it can become a bit too gloomily. But I guess that it’s about taste & preferences too. It need not always be dark & gloomy with black as a supplement, as an important part or as a whole. I like the black & white contrasts as in the first image from a Swedish bloggers home.

Don’t get too depressed by all black images now – it’s engaging, I promise!

XL Pendant lamps

I have tried to find the time to call an electrician to replace the ceiling lights in every room through the house – but it always ends up on the to-do list. The old ceiling lamps are still there, after the previous owner. The more time passes, the less we think of them, unfortunately. While I’m waiting to summon up time & energy, I thought it might be nice to take a look at some different design & inspiration. Moreover, we need to agree on what we want in the family – before we can contact the dear electrician. Sometimes it is bothersome with democracy 🙂

Mattresses

Mattresses, why? Well, it reminds me of childhood, all the nights spent at the cottage, in the caravan, with friends, at summer camp, etc. They can be used for so much. Also easy to stow away. And of course, easy to change the look with fabric, if you feel like it. Useful in the teenage room with several layers to make it more comfortable or on the settee or wooden bench – why not directly on the floor with a nice cover on.
