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, by the pool

Not that I think it works with a sofa, especially with white cover, by the poolside. But it sure looks both nice & relaxing. It’s very beautiful with coral-blue water, the white wide sofa & orange coloured cushions. With a broad sun hat & an iPad close at hand, it would probably feel as if it’s close enough, the best thing you ever can buy for money, with the risk of sounding superficial. Who said you can’t buy happiness 🙂

Container living

Every time I drive past the airport, I see the huge container hangar where the containers are stacked on one another, in endless rows. It looks like an exciting landscape of orderly rows of giant iron boxes. I think it looks extremely appealing, can’t help it. Every time, the thought occurs, that I would like to live there … which impossible of course. At least right there. But it is possible to live in a dumpster … or whatever name that is appropriate. They are suitable both as workplace, a home, storey building, kindergarten & so on. Or even a mobile home, why not!

Here are some great solutions that are interesting in many ways. The possibilities are endless & it shouldn’t be too expensive, for those interested. What do you think?

Daily inspiration, cafe life

I sometimes stumble upon certain images that I fall for, just because I’m in the right mood or because it feels right at the time. It may be its simplicity or the beauty in some details – pictures that are appealing in one way or another. Here is one that just feels right. Enjoy 🙂

Have a seat

Many seating, long tables, couches along the wall & some space around, does the trick for simple socializing. I like when it is plenty of space without the feeling of a cramped environment. It’s simply nice with floor space, when possible. It is not always necessary with enormous rooms, either. You can always refine the use to suit the purpose. If you have a dining area, let it be a dining room & make space for many. Put two tables together for the space & mix different chairs to make it less formal. Try to keep focus on the main function to avoid a messy impression or environment.

We all have things that requires storage, which also should be easy to use when necessary. Everything doesn’t need to be visible. Especially when there are loads of clever usage of walls for open or closed storage. Also stylish beds, sofas, bookshelves & patio furniture to use for convenient storage. Endless possibilities, if you so wish. I will not dwell on the subject, but more show attractive solutions with long seating. Whether it’s sofas, dining table or the like. Just because I am so childishly fond of that.
