Balconies

We usually pull off on our bikes to explore various suburbs now & then. There’s always a lot to see & discover & lately I have noticed various residential buildings with balconies of all kinds. (not that I haven’t seen balconies before but anyway). Some of them do not even look useful, others merely because it contributes to the architecture & some, far too large for the building itself. It seems to be very popular with balconies with translucent glass, in most newly constructed areas. I am not thinking of apartment building but private houses.

Well, I guess it’s ok, I’m just not particularly fond of them. But no matter what size really, there are so many good ways to decorate the space so that fits any lifestyle or need. There has never been so varied & well designed range – economically, expensive, sparingly, for a small area, or spacious, by all means, it’s just to review the surface & decide what you want. As for balconies, yes, there is something special about them. What do you think?

Daily inspiration, camping

I can’t say I am fond of camping. I would not be able to keep track of spiders & insects, which would keep me up all night, unfortunately. But still, this looks very nice out. A small but open area with fresh air & everything you could possibly need – a bedroom with a bed, candle lamps, rugs, some chairs & an open fire. Even a small window at the back.

Black lodging

It struck me the other day that it’s not particularly common with black houses. Thus black façades, the very dark soot-blackened façades. Can certainly be found here & there in specific areas. Properly done, it is really beautiful with black buildings that stand out in the public visual noise. Some buildings & houses can get a majestic dignity. Black houses beautifies wherever they turn up, whether it’s in town, the countryside, along the coast or in isolated areas. Let us see what you think. I am very fond anyway.

Winter lodging

A fun & appealing idea with the muffin for hungry animals. Whether it’s winter or summer.

Let it snow

It is beautiful when snow falls with heavy snowflakes, the kind that stays & squeaks under your shoes. When the ground gets covered & the air very still & all sound muted – then it’s magical. The best that was, as a kid, were to lie down on the back on snow & make snow angels. We did actually this, all the way up in adulthood, only for the fun of it. To sit indoors & look out on the glory in the protection of the heat when it’s below freezing outside, it is an indescribably pleasant feeling.

Maybe not as appealing when it’s time to shovel away the snow to get to work or school, but you get use to it. Winter, cold, snow & ice – that’s something I miss around this time of the year.
