Bleak images, maybe

Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.

It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

Daily inspiration, coffee shop furniture

This picture that I found online, I believe is from a new place in Melbourne. What I like with it, is actually the whole environment. It’s mainly the light but also the brick walls that are painted in white. The table with black base & wooden board. Those classic chairs that has been painted in pale pastels & the untreated floor. I also like the built-in wood shelves with the few things that has been stored inside. They are more apparent with the white wall behind, in the background. The pendants, they become like the icing on the cake.

Waste wood or …

They are there, visible, but still, they don’t take up too much space. They’re quite common & widely used in various environments. If you are interested of home furnishing & like to keep up with parts of the development, then you can’t have missed them. What is this all about? What is it I’ve seen so much of in recent times? It’s nothing special really, just these pieces of wood furnitures that looks like driftwood or wood residues.

They can be used in the livingroom or bedroom. On the patio or infront of the fire place. They function everywhere. I’ve seen them in different shapes, either natural, redesigned or painted. I must say that I prefer them in white or black, of course. They could look really great depending on where they are used. It depends on the color & the room / space in which they end up in. But, isn’t that’s the fact with most things. Things in the right place will always come to their advantage, in one way or another.

Daily inspiration, outdoor furniture

Coated steel tube furniture in vibrant colors with a fence in the background in a beautiful turquoise-green color. The shadows reflected makes the picture more intriguing. It feels warm, sunny & inviting despite the steel pipes. Because I know that they aren’t that comfy after a while. The combination of colors to the white table, with the fence in the background – isn’t it nice?

Daily inspiration, sandwich

I had a day off today & met with an old friend for breakfast.

It was nice & relaxing, with a short walk after the breakfast where we shopped a few girlie things, to her adorable daughter. It’s sunny & warm in the sun so we spent a couple of hours on my porch & talked about everything under the sun. I thought this lovely image would suit to “today’s findings”.

The dark surface of the table, the plate of green design & the arrangement of the sandwiches with a wooden stick to hold everything in place. Love it!
