Smoke and Toffee

.
a catalogue filled with this beautiful color scheme,

influenced and inspired by the pale colors found in

flower bouquets and botanic plants and how

the colors change as the flowers and foliage mature...

Even though Summer has not really started yet in the Netherlands,

I love it when the new autumn/winter catalogues are presented...

Inspired by the stunning Smoke and Toffee tones of the

Tine K home A/W 2016 collection...

Ikea x Hay - the movie

I was pleasantly surprised last month by the news about

the exclusive collaboration of Ikea and Danish design company Hay.

Ikea and Hay will work on a brand new collection of interiors

that fits in small spaces and that can have various functions.

Last week I have admired this stunning teaser movie that has been released

to show the materials to be used in their upcoming Ypperlig collection

that will be released the second half of 2017.

Can't wait to admire it!

movie found via Dezeen with thanks!

Bamboo, rattan, sand- and earttones and a few green accents...

Already spotted the inspiring outdoor styling ideas to create a

Mediterranean atmosphere in the latest issue of VT wonen magazine,

but when the photos and ideas also came in my mailbox this week

(at the last VT wonen newsletter), I got sense to get started right away and

create this amazing summerfeeling in my own garden!

Notebook love

Who doesn't love a good notebook?

Well I admit I have a huge addiction for minimalistic and stylish ones!

I always have a notebook in my handbag but also a couple at home.

Mostly to write little notes and ideas but also to use them in the stillifes
that you can find in several corners of my home.

So when I read the words "I just love notebooks" at the FB-site of
Triple Pink a few weeks ago my attention was caught immediately.

Triple Pink is a dutch brand founded by creative designer Stella Maye.

In her shop you will find Leather bags, accessories,
fine jewelry and stationary. Not all products are designed by Triple Pink
and when it comes to products, as the notebooks,
that Stella Mae really likes herself you will find it in her shop!

So what do you think of my latest purchase?

The cover of this treasure (by Backstage)
can be used both sides: one side is black, the other craft.
Inside you will find blanco paper alternated with some craft pages.

Do you like beautiful notebooks as much as I do?
