A gift from mom

Got this from my mom! It's a small concrete lamp designed by Tove Adman, and it's called "uppnosig" (cheeky) Love it!

Claire Richardson

I know I keep going on and on about how much I long for spring but this winter has really been something out of the ordinary. So far 2010 has been a great year for me after managing to get over the bump that was 2009, and now, all I need is some sun and warmth. In the meantime I like to look at photos like these below, by talented photographer Claire Richardson. So delicate and summer-like! Found her via tiny k.

Kitchen shelf

Cute kitchenshelf from India available at Grønlykke. If it wasn't for the price (1850-2200 dkk) I would buy it now. Somehow it just puts me off when you know that it's probably sold for less than 1/10th of the price in India. Where does all that money go? Not to India, that's for sure.

Small exhibition at Cinnober

My favourite bookshop here in Copenhagen is Cinnober. They have the best supply of wonderful illustration, graphic design and architectual litterature and everytime I go there I want to buy it all. Cinnober is located in the centre of Copenhagen, close to the shopping street Strøget so if you are in town you should definately pay it a visit! Starting on tuesday the 2nd of february they will be selling some of my limited edition prints and I'm very happy to be in such good company!
How to find the shop here!

Cloudy and a cold

Today I am very slow. I caught a cold again and keep sneezing and coughing and freezing. You know what it's like when the inside of your head just feels like a big lump of cotton. You can't think straight. Found these beautiful illustrations by iranian illustrator Yoota Azargeen through this blog. Pretty much illustrates my day.

Fnubbu in our house!

The very talented danish designer Signe Møller Jensen with her brand Fnubbu actually has her studio and shop at street level in MY house!! She does some really beautiful work and I love peeking through the windows while waiting for my boyfriend to get ready when we are going somewhere ;) I would wear this anytime!

I miss summer!!

When I saw these pictures over at Sara's blog I began longing for summer even more. They are probably from some old lady's house in the countryside of Sweden and they remind me so much of my childhood. My grandmother's brother Sven lives in a house very much like this!

Move in with me!

Alphabet

Found this beautiful alphabet by designer and artist Peter Grundy over at equally beautiful blog All the mountains. I'm actually pretty tierd of all the alphabets made out of this and that, but this one really caught my eye. Love the colors and the details.

48m2

Sometimes I feel like there is stuff EVERYWHERE and everytime I open a drawer or a cabinet things FALL out. Living in a small apartment is sometimes a bit of a struggle especially if you are a collector (of everything) like me. Then you fall over photos like these below. This apartment in France is only 48m2, same as ours. How is that possible??? My next place will be an industrial loft with no furniture, I tell you!

Everyone wants the same type of unusal things (Alla vill ha samma typ av annorlunda saker)

In '97 the swedish singer Wille Craaford had a small hit with the song "Alla vill ha samma typ av annorlunda saker". I never particularly liked this song, but the refrain comes to mind sometimes when I think of things that EVERYONE seems to want, including me. When I look at the pictures I'm about to post of things that I like all I can think of is.... How boring am I??
