Perfect organiser

We all need some sort of ladder to use at home, either to climb on & reach for things or, as per images below, to use for functional situations or simply to decorate with. Sometimes just to let the ladder just lean against the wall or big furniture. Now, I’m not referring to the traditional ladder only but more to the ones that are an extension of a ladder. To be used similar but with added value, so to speak. All kinds of designs works, of course. Short models, tall ones, the ones with a shelf or shelves, or with a back, so that you can lean things against or with a bag, for whatever you might need to use it for etc.

I have to admit that I actually like the ladder as it is. Just lean it against something & use it for temporary stuff to hang, lay books on or…with a bit of colour that is tailored to style & taste, you get your little (or big) ladder to fit in anywhere you please.

Daily inspiration, tiny figures

Small, simple things can make a big difference sometimes. As these little figures of various sizes, painted in different colours & with a mischievous smile – any time of day. Especially nice if these simple things are stones that you have picked yourself, painted them & found a little corner where they fit. Well done!

Warm decoration / 217

Daylight saving has made evenings brighter which of course is the point. However, our evenings are dark – all year round. Even in the summer, when it’s still slightly lighter than usual. In fact, it doesn’t matter, at least not if you are a lover of light in all its forms. I mean candle light, in this case. Perfect to use all year around & suits all occasions. Stylish lanterns do enhance as well as simplifies … not to mention safety, which always is important. Hot admittedly but still reasonably safe for kids, or if you accidentally fall over them. Candles makes the world go around, right? It’s easy to create a nice & relaxing atmosphere with candle light since they certainly makes spaces more beautiful. Same with people, we are more to our advantage in the glow of candlelight.

I thought I’d follow up last post about candles with this one about lanterns. I can’t claim that I’m a collector of those but I have some which I have grouped under a side table. I like the mix of polished metal, black steel & wood, in various sizes. – but most of all I like them with lit candles inside, so here towards the evening.

Simpler table setting & surrounding is preferred with a striking center pice like this / barabarakemp via Pinterest
