I wonder how many people would fall for this solution. It’s different with the white glazed floor & the white-painted logs on the wall & ceiling. A lovely contrast to the dark brown kitchen. It is a bit daring to take it that far but you do get a liberating expression as you become the only one to have. If I like it? Yes, sure I do!

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.

I had a period when I used the dark blue colour almost as much as I use black today, that is to say, always. I felt a hint of that old feeling the other day when I bought two pairs of boots in suede, one black & the other in dark blue. On the way to work last week, I arrived a bit earlier & decided to take a stroll around the shopping centre. I saw a jacket in dark, dark blue. An instant love & from there to todays post, the way is rather short. Since then I have had time to be off couple of weeks to spend time with my sister & her husband, who is on a visit. There has been a lot of traveling to various favorite spots & with it, a lot of stops for shopping. One would think that the dark blue colour would be rather common. But no, not where I was, at least.
Anyway, I found a scarf in thin material but still with rough texture. Very soft in really dark blue shade & a couple of fine-knitted jumpers with stylish fit. One was striped of course. AND with that, I have now completed my shopping need in that blue colour.

Summer isn’t just about sun, warmth & hot long nights, at least not lately. We have had a fair share of rain in Sydney. In other states, much more unfortunately. That which causes joy for some can cause problems for others. With joy in this case, I can readily admit that I like the kind of rain that we have in Sydney. It’s not cold in any way, but when the rain falls, it falls a lot. Much rain, you could say. Sometimes, it falls for a short while, so that the air feels refreshed. Other times, it seems to be going on for ever. Not that it bothers me. There is no bad weather if you know how to dress, it all depends on the clothing you wear.
I bought a neat umbrella the other day, in suit-plaid-patterns – in different shades of gray. It took a while to find a stylish model with wooden handles & hefty design that can withstand resistance. AND that does not fall apart as soon as it begins to blow a bit. We have a number of countless black umbrellas lying in a basket in the hall for all visiting friends & acquaintances – who often want to take a walk in the pouring rain … when it rains, that is. They are not of the best quality, so we have to replace them every season. The umbrella syndrome, is either that it’s forgotten somewhere or that it breaks somehow. It is what it is … an umbrella!
By the way, it’s beautiful weather today – perfect & around 28 degrees. No umbrellas here today!

Glass has not always been something that I appreciate. I was early introduced to glass art & got some distaste for it for a while. I don’t know why really but I think it was too strong colours & complicated shapes that would not be explained. The design were meant to stimulate the imagination. It didn’t work on me unfortunately. That happened ages ago so that’s history now. Since then, I have discovered the style that suits me. I’m often drawn to a simple & relatively pure style. I prefer a simple & relatively clean design. I don’t like it too fancy or elegant.
The images I’ve collected below is a mixture of glass art, glass objects for everyday life & maybe something in between. Some of them reminds me of the early days when I was introduced to the art glassware – which I can’t find place for, in my heart, still. But that’s how it is sometimes. They have their fans anyway. The craftsmanship behind, regardless of taste, is something to admire anyway.
