Masculine
There is no major difference between men & women if we exclude the physical. We are relatively similar, which of course has been the great art of understanding since the dawn of time. What my guys thinks is neat, is according to my taste preferense too. Now I realize of course that we have affected each other because we live together. They have been brought up in an environment that I believe will accompany the throughout life. One tends to hold on to what’s one is used to from childhood, usually. Anyway, I’ve put together images that I think would fit well for guys, in any age. It’s typically my style so you won’t see nothing outside the ordinary. On the other hand, I’m just an ordinary woman 🙂

Daily inspiration, kids room
I can imagine that children would feel comfortable in this room. Floor space for games, sloping roof creating nooks, roof window with natural light, built-in bed in the corner with a small private room within a room & soft soothing colours. Nice that the ceiling is in untreated wood. The room has high cosiness factor. Nice place overall for children to live in. (I might have wished for more comfortable seating, large thick rugs & some cushions on the floor).

Bleak images, maybe
Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.
It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

Dinner time
The best way ever to entertain, I believe, is to get together over a meal, eat, drink & discuss. The meaning of life, human differences, world history or simple everyday pleasures. Talking points are important but more importantly are the group of people that you surround yourself with. Those who makes the difference – who makes you feel comfortable, feel good & warms you … in body & soul … including the dining area!
Cozy, comfortable, nice, pleasing – things that matters, sometimes more than the food you are served. Environments depends on what you prefer or are used to. It’s rarely about impression, in the true sense. It contributes to the atmosphere, of course. I would lie if i said that space or environment wasn’t important. But the point is that it’s more important with the people participating. The personalities that makes the event. From the topics of discussion, to the life they have lived, their attitude to things. A certain smile, a silence that is pleasant or a constant cackling taking place but that is contagious.
Amidst all this, the common dining area is also part of the whole. That which creates wellbeing, together with the aromas & flavors, lit candles plus mood lighting, AND the music. So, to sum it all up – space, enables the place & the individuals makes the event. I hope this makes sense in english 🙂
