A typical cafe or restaurant chair that I really like. The shape / form is reminiscent of old times while being right in time, all the time! A lovely colour too & totally irresistible.

In the good old days
It is nice to visit old relatives who have retained their old furniture. It feels like you are stepping into another time, another world. There are frames with photographs arranged everywhere. Glass bottles & glass vases in amounts plus a lot of old books & heavy draped curtains. Not to mention sofas or armchairs. It’s absolutely adorable. Quite simply because you don’t throw things purely because they have aged, as they are still fully functional. Something that we ought to embrace more.
Here are some images that I have put together, that reminds of old times, if I may put it that simple. Furniture, gadgets, textiles & old pillows with prints, picture frames & so on. I am especially fond of the last shot where contemporary furnishings have been blended together with the old desktop – new & old come together nicely together into a whole. Really nice!

Daily inspiration, colourful styling
Blue, such as the blue basket on the table, was once a favourite colour. My mother in law bought baskets in different models & painted them in this typical colour that was associated with a particular landscape in Sweden. A base colour, which was similar to the blue, shown in the picture, with white simplified floral design. I think that’s why I fell for this styling – except that it’s inspiring too, of course.

Daily inspiration, leather handle
I have seen many fine details of late – both in terms of interior design, architecture, furniture etc. That’s what happens sometimes when you take the time to observe stuff & places around you. Something that has become popular is to create your own handles using leather & fancy screws. It gives a personal touch & a sense of wellbeing.

Wooden seats
We’ve become very fond of this type of stool, especially since we moved to Australia. My youngest son has the ability to find these at flea markets & second hand stores … and always to a ridiculously low price – a talent, for sure! I like the rustic look & they are surprisingly comfortable. They are also very flexible & can be used for so many different purposes & functions.
We came across two high black stools on a market, which I am fond of now. One is currently in use as a side table for a table lamp next to the couch in the TV room. Another finding is a chocolate brown low wooden stool, that is currently being used as an extra pallet on our patio.
Really nice combo with the oriental rug & leather sofa / etsy.com
