Pretentious perhaps / 213

I can’t make up my mind about skin / leather such as cowhide & the like. I don’t think that I’m fond of them – only to be used as a decoration in the home. The reason being that the animals need them more than we do. It might for some, sound a little pretentious but there are actually other options, in my opinion. I can’t say I mind others using them, it’s up to each one, of course. I understand the attraction as well as the aesthetics of it but still can’t bring myself to it fully. But so what, it’s not a big deal really.

Anyhow, it ‘s interesting how different it can look in different environments. As always, when you mix materials, colours & furniture in a good way. If you then use your creative side to bring on your own touch … well, then, just occupy the place & enjoy. No matter if it’s pretentious with cowhide or not!

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.
