A thing of beauty...
... is a joy forever.
I bought the most wonderful small pineapple glass jar from Pentik today.
I have admired cut glass carafes for a while so this one I could not resist
(although this is not any carafe). I like decorative patterns on all kinds of
surfaces. The jar is good for candies, accessories on the bedside table or
just as it is (it has a lid). Today's tip!
The other things in the collage are also my favourites:
Cognac-coloured leather chairs in retro-inspired style
Glass vase with bubbles and metal net
(a good alternative to Svenskt Tenn's bubble vase)
Summer green and striped vase
Own collage with pictures from corresponding webshops + Pinterest

Patterns + shapes
Own collage
Dagens inspiration. Är helt frälst i vaser med fina mönster, skålar med ovanlig form, udda stolar och ljuspunkter... Skulle gärna vílja hitta en liknande fruktskål som den svarta!
Oj, vilken värmebölja det blev plötsligt. Från kalla nätter till plötsligt 40 grader i solen. Värsta Grekland ju. Klädskåpet skriker att jag måste shoppa sommarkläder men det enda jag gör är ligger i solen och läser tidningar (och får massor med idéer)... I helgen tänkte jag bara koppla av, inga måsten efter hektiska dagar. Njuta av solen och se Eurovision. That's it!
Today's inspiration. I am sold on vases with nice patterns, bowls with unusal shapes, odd chairs and lights. I would like to find a similar fruit bowl as the black one!
Oh, what a heat wave we have got! From cold nights to suddenly 40 degrees in the sun! Just like Greece...The wardrobe shouts that I have to shop summer clothes but the only thing I do is lie in the sun and read magazines (and get a lot of ideas)... During the weekend I have to relax, no musts, after all hectic days. Enjoy the sun and watch the Eurovision. That's it!
Have a nice weekend!

Creative workspace
Workspace styled by Alvhem
I have worked too much lately so workspaces should not interest me at all right now. But just this picture that I saw today. It is quite nice. A creative, relaxing work spot with pink chair (brave decision) and a simple, white desk with black legs. The diamond picture on the wall reminds me of Kathapult's diamond posters. Have you seen them? Very nice wall diamonds!
What have you done today? We have had really warm weather now, and I enjoyed my lunch at an open-air café in the sunshine. Better times to come! *clap, clap*

Reset
Sometimes I lose myself in doing these mood boards. It is like relaxing therapy after a busy week. A time to reset and not think about anything at all. To mix colours and impressions. Just to please the eye and rest the brain.

Wooden Eames
Hey, have you noticed the new wooden Eames chairs? Plastic has this far been the only material due to the complexity of the chair's curves, but today's three-dimensional technology gives wood veneer more flexibility and thus Herman Miller can now rerelease a new edition of the chair in molded wood. The chair is brand new and available as of May.

Dining area
Fresh, classic kitchen.
All details in the dining spot are just great.
Even the recycled tin for flowers.
Simple but with style.

Smiling sun
A mood board with things that inspire me at the moment.
Healthy meals, coloruful pink flowers, curved taps and different shades of blue.
Jeans, rocking chair and the lovely plate with the smiling sun, which is designed in honour of
The plate would be suitable for tired mornings at the breakfast table, don't you think?
Hope you are all well. I have had some days with funny cultural events (concerts, stand-up comedy et cetera) as well as a relaxed weekend as counterweight to my long working days lately.
Detective stories, gym, friends and relatives.
Have a nice new week!

Recycled
French by Design postade igår en repris av det här fina köket som cirkulerade på nätet för något år sedan. Med all rätt. Ofta blir bilder slit-och-släng. Efter att ha cirkulerat hos alla på nätet blir dom uttjatade och arkiveras fint i någon mapp. Men den här bilden tycker jag faktiskt tål att publiceras igen. Under temat Tom Dixon lampor. För jag verkar ha blivit besatt av dessa. Nedan kommer en till återanvänd bild på samma tema. Fina lampor. Dom talar sitt eget språk. Och måste ju bara tillägga, hur cool är inte tavlan med badflickan i köket? En oväntad detalj men alldeles rätt. Konst öga där!
French by Design posted a repeat of this nice kitchen that circulated on the Net for some year ago. With perfect justice. Often pictures tend to be disposable items. After having circulated throughout the Net they become hackneyed and are archived tidily in some folder. But this picture is worth publishing again. Under the theme Tom Dixon lights. Because I seem to be obsessed by these. Below you see another recycled picture with the same theme. Nice lamps. They speak their own language. And I just have to add, how cool is not the picture with the bathing girl in the kitchen? An unexpected detail but completely right. Art eye there, I say!
Den här bilden publicerades också för ett år sen i någon tidning. Jag letade febrilt men just mars 2012 fattades så den ligger nånstans och lurar. Vill dock minnas att mannen som bodde här berättade att hans kompis gillade det renoverade köket så skarpt att han kopierade det rätt av. Soul brothers!
I morgon är det ledig dag. Super! Solen värmde riktigt skönt idag. Hoppas det håller i sej. Det blir konsert och att fira in våren. Picknick kanske? Take care, vi hörs!
This picture was also published some year ago in a Swedish interior magazine. I looked for it everywhere but March 2012 issue was missing so it is lying in wait somewhere still. If I remember correctly the story told that the friend of the man who lived here liked the renovated kitchen so much that he copied it entirely. Soul brothers!
Tomorrow is a free day. Super! The sun was really warm today. Hopefully it lasts. Concert is on my schedule and to celebrate the spring. Picnic maybe? Take care out there!
