ceramic love - trunk vase and stump mug

.
beautiful unique pieces, 

pure and raw, 

made by hand in a very small scale...

Oh how I fell in love with these beautiful ceramics designed

 by Jinjin a Japanese ceramic artist when I visited the inspiring blog of 

Sonja Maria Rettensteiner a while ago and read her story about 

her discovery of this talented street artist in Paris. 

It's so great when talented people work together and 

create an amazing and inspiring story...

Definately on my wishlist: Trunk vase and stump mug

read all about the story here and be inspired!

Kitchenlove - KALVIA

  

I love the way Ikea focuses on new kitchen designs and kitchen life in general.

This time Ikea has worked with fashion designer Martin Bergström and

 I totally fell for it when I saw the amazing pressimages! 

The result of this collaboration is KALVIA, where six different designs

 from Martin's paintings (abstract, bold patterns) have been printed

 directly on our high-quality kitchen cabinets in six different sizes

The perfect contrast with the stunning countertop in walnut with a

classic herringbone pattern really made me smile!

styling love

already saw a sneakpeek of the equipment at instagram this week

this stunning apartment in Stockholm

caught my eye straight away

 when I visited the Fantastic Frank this morning

just love the tastefull and creative styling (these still-lifes), 

the natural colours and soft tones in contrast with the subtile black touch , 

 the great eye catching details and the warm atmosphere... 

Inspired again by the great work of talented stylist Josefin Haag

outdoor ideas II

like I said last week I really love this time of the year

when we see all these great outdoor ideas in the magazines and in the blogosphere

My personal taste and choice is to keep it very simple

and to create an inviting atmosphere (see here) 

In my garden you will find wood, black pottery, natural tones,

soft cushions in greyshades and a lot of green ofcourse 

I guess that's why I was attracted by the creative ideas

of Pella Hedeby found at the livet Hemma site 

with some great simple details and an important and inspiring 
role for the glass greenhouse cabinet

 Hindo by IKEA and a quick but very stylish DIY idea...
