Flooring

We’ve usually had wood floors in our homes over the years. Always in light wood too. The last house we lived in, we painted the floors white. Gloss lacquered white floors throughout the upper level. Really nice but oh so hard to keep clean, especially with a black labrador. Black lacquered floors are also extremely appealing. But I must say that I probably prefer hardwood flooring if there is to be painted surfaces. It’s important that the wood slats are visible through, to avoid a flat & bland expression. Painted & lacquered concrete is not to bad either for that matter. The limit for me, is probably black or white. Although I think it is neat with green, yellow or red floor, I find it hard to see that I could cope with the colors in the long run. Here are some variations of flooring solutions – with not overly strong colour choices.

Daily inspiration, black & white

Sometimes I see a picture that I find nice. Next day or next time I see the same Image & I find it absolutely wonderful. It changes from one day to another. Maybe, you need to see some things several times to react. As some movies that feels like, oh well. Then when you later on sees them again, the feeling is completely different.

This was not the case with this picture, it was instant love!

Daily inspiration, less is more

Less is more is an old expression but timeless in itself. We could all have a need of reviewing our belongings & think about what we really need. I am not the one to give advice or tell people what to or not. It is just an appealing thought to use what we truly need – which is a challenge in this era of commercialism.

Daily inspiration, beige bedroom

I like this styling of the bedroom. It’s white with beige on beige which makes the room quiet & peaceful. It works well to all the wood too. Very pleasant & easy to absorb. If anything, I might find the headboard slightly too high.

Nook / 221

Up early today, awakened by my youngest who needed to fill up his car – so I went with him to the gas station, around five minutes drive & walked back – took 25 minutes in the early sun. It’s refreshing to see the neighbourhood wake up & start the day. For once, I felt refreshed & energetic. I managed to fix some stuff at home, in the early morning. It has been a lot of work lately – late evenings, early mornings, a whole lot to fix on the home front plus the heat that takes some energy too. Now it’s fine weather & around 27 degrees – perfect.

Whatever weather, inside or outside, it’s always nice with small nooks where you can retreat, read, take the time to think over things, listen to music or just relax. Moreover, it’s cozy & inviting plus tat it’s a perfect place for short naps too. That’s one of the nicest things & a luxury too, to be able to take a nap during the day. Also, it’s a perfect place in Christmas time – to curl up in peace & quiet – that’s cozy indeed. Sometimes when our boys were small & still were in need of an afternoon-nap, we ended up in arguments about whose turn it was to get them to sleep. We finally agreed to take turns, for family peace, if nothing else. Those were nice times, indeed.
