Some people has a great feel for how to put certain styles together – simply based on their taste & not according to fashion.

So today I felt for a post with some armchairs in different styles & shapes. That’s after a rather uncomfortable evening in a restaurant with great interior, great food & great people. It was decorated with small, small table, stools & armchairs with a mix of old & new – very nice & inviting environment albeit slightly dark. The thing is that it looked really nice which is a big part of an experience but once you’ve been sitting for a while, you feel it in your whole body.
The armchairs are too high for the low coffee tables or opposite & the tables are too small for more than two & you have to bend or lean to reach for things. It became way too uncomfortable after a while. It’s great with inspiring places & it’s nice when it looks stylish, cool or different. It’s just that I’m always impressed when it’s combined with functionality – when someone have taken the time to think through everything.

I am a lover of small simple arrangements. They’re easy to replace & modify according to taste, as well as each season. It’s important to not overdo it. Also to not get so excited so it’s & all over the place in the house. It makes the home personal if it’s done right. Still life tells a story about who’s living there & about their interests. I think that it helps to create order & structure so that the gaze flows more smooth throughout \ the room. If nothing else, you’re creating beautiful & aesthetic pieces of art to enjoy, for everyday use.

My sister & her husband has recently left us after five weeks visit. They moved to Los Angeles six years ago & it’s now time to move back home to Sweden again. You have to show your favorite spots, which means a lot of different locations across New South Wales. There’s a plethora of farms, villages, communities with diverse range of markets & shops, to hyper-modern shopping centres. We were not looking to shop, I’ll have to admit. Especially because they already had done their shopping before they left LA & sent these with remaining household possessions.
In all cases, when visiting small cute communities, with sunshine & comfortable warmth, then everything looks appealing, somehow. Even things that you usually don’t look at. Believe me, you feel inspired, influenced & charmed by the attractive surroundings & the nice weather. You are never so keen on coffee as when you’re traveling around like that. Coffee & a small cookie or something sweet to nibble on, or an icecream or two. After a number of visits to different markets, second hand stores & retro decorated cafes, I have almost had enough of old cans of different kinds. It becomes so when you blazes through all these different places. Some things have a tendency to recur.

Hej friends,
I went back to work recently after a long break. It has been pure pleasure to have time for nothing & everything, to be in charge of my own time – no appointments, schedules or any musts. It’s a very inspiring & relaxing way of living. But nothing lasts for ever & reality catches up sooner or later. On the other hand, I’m very grateful for having had the opportunity to take a long break. It’s unusual to be able to forget all demands & requirements which constantly exist in our everyday life…& do what I want to do. Well, I guess my darling have enjoyed it to the fullest too. A clean house to come home to, laundry taken care of…meals ready…to simply just sit down at the dinner table, with welcoming candlelights, without having to think about things that needs to be done. It’s been a blessing for the whole family.
I very much enjoyed my time at home. Something I wouldn’t have believed if someone had told me that some couple of years ago. I’ve learnt to value my time & each precious moment. I’d like to think that this break has helped me to fine tune certain things that was in need of development. I guess that time will tell.
So dear friends, to celebrate a new stage of life, I’ve done a post about work spaces. I’m afraid that some of you might think that these are out of time & out of place. Rightly perhaps, but I guess that this style is always going to be appealing to a number of people. I might need to follow up with a modern version for all fo you who don’t 🙂
