Daily inspiration, set the table

I like to tables in simple manner & not overburden with decorations. It’s not always easy to know when to quit. Many times, I think it gets too busy. Some decorations such as fresh flowers or candlesticks are in the way of conversations & eye contact. Understand me right, it’s certainly beautiful, but not always functionally. Taste-wise, I prefer tablecloths covering the entire table. Linen or Cotton fabric, with very simple patterns. (if some at al) It might not sound exciting but it becomes nice enough & makes the entire room with all invited, less stressed or busy. To exaggerate a little, on occasions like Christmas, works fine 🙂

Daily inspiration, relax

It has been a tough period with a lot of work for a while now. I would like to get away from everything & everyone, for own time without any obligation to anyone. To just relax & not think any thoughts (if possible). That’s not much to ask for, is it?

Wood logs

Wood logs, fireplaces & to gather around the fire with candles & blankets, that’s perfect at this time of year. Now, it’s not winter on my side of the globe, but I still associate Christmas with snow, winter & cold weather. It’s quite incredible how tradition & upbringing has such an impact. No matter how I try, I just can’t get in to the Christmas spirit. It won’t work in this heat.

Now I was actually more interested of stored wood than open fireplaces. I like when natural materials have a natural place in the home. It’s a bit of a luxury feel, getting to lit a fire & gather at home, with near & dear ones. Don’t you think?

Daily inspiration, side tables

I’m a huge lover of stools & small tables. We’ve probably had an abundance of them at home over time, I’ll admit. I find them so irresistible but also very flexible. I always used to buy when I happened to find one that I liked, bring it home, keep it unpacked, until I could find the right place somewhere. And over time, I had to stop doing that, which is understandable. So now I try to limit myself to see but not touch … thus emphasising try.

Daily inspiration, plants

A low at pot & green seedlings with succulents and a couple comers, is all it takes to create something simple & beautiful. Perfect eye catcher on the table.
