Mattresses / 181

Hej dear friends,

Time for a new post & today it’s about mattresses…what?
Yep, I think I’m longing for a rest or more correct, a looooong holiday. This, even though the sun is shining & the weather is nice. But since I began a new job quite recently, the highly anticipated leave will have to wait. I’ll have to content myself with a little rest once in a while instead & what could fit better than thick, comfortable mattresses, right?

Mattresses, you might be thinking, what now? Yes, you are right perhaps. But I’d like to add that mattresses, which in itself are thin & flat, actually can look infinitely different. I might even claim that they can be exciting … that is, in purely expressive terms & material selection. And just think, where & how they can be used, practically everywhere, really. Childrens room are given, guest room, on the porch or balcony, in the living room … well, just simply choose what suits your need, indeed.

Single / 180

Hej friends,

Single is not as in single – it’s about single beds. Both expressions are charming or less charming, depending on desired situation. I adore single beds, they make me think of childhood, relatives, anniversaries, celebrations, summer stays & holidays – all at once. We always had people staying over & once they left, next were on incoming. Not always a pleasure back then because you had to leave your beloved room to share a small narrow single bed with one of my siblings – since it was expected. Not always easy to understand as a young kid. Had no the desire to do that either, as I remember it. But that’s history now, what remains is nice & funny memories from that time. That’s usually the case, you remember the good stuff & forgets the dull ones, right?

My growing up is a major reason why we are living a similar life today as then. With lots of beloved ones who’s visiting & remain a long time. My boys love it & life becomes a little more festive that way. However, they need not to experience the “single” situation. Well, that’s the kind of thoughts that went through my head when I searched for images. Images really influences the brain positively… a good reason to believe that beautiful & inspiring pictures makes us to better people.

Masculine / 168

Hej dear friends,

My youngest left us yesterday to spend three weeks in Sweden. That’s the first time ever that he is away for that long. It feels strange & a bit empty inside. Something essential is missing. I want my baby back but I’m sure that he is enjoying his journey to the fullest. It’s a big thing to travel to the other side of the world, when you’re 17 years. At the same time as it’s a very useful & beneficial experience. So I felt that I had to connect this post to my son & his first step, into the adult world. His first big trip & first time alone from home.

It’s a masculine theme today. At least the way I see it. Not everyone would agree with me, which is fine of course. We are all individuals with different liking & taste. It’s rarely about male or female, rather, more about personality. Still, dear friends, I believe that these images are more attractive to men. However, it’s not either or. Just a gentle opinion.

Why don’t you take a look & make up your mind. Masculine or not, I hope you will enjoy the moment.
