Shopping

Shopping now & then is rather nice., especially if you’re on the hunt for something you need. Otherwise, I find it enjoyable to just to wander around, look, compare & take in things around me. Also, its fun with all the visual exposures of various trademarks & solutions. The way the creativity has been used to inspire us customers.

Sometimes, I have to admit, I don’t always get the idea behind. But if it’s aesthetically pleasing, it works anyway. You don’t sell more just because there are lots of products on the shop floor. It can sometimes be overwhelming. Carefully selected & coordinated range – it has to start there. A desire to inspire!

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 🙂
