So pretty.

 

Everything that comes out of the Netherlands looks good. Or at least, so it seems. (Sorry for the lo-res images, but I couldn't resist posting :)

Sasa clock by Thorunn Arnadottir

Beautiful and poetic conceptual design by Thorunn Arnadottir. From the designer's website: "The time is read from the color coded necklace. Each bead represents a 5 minute increment. As the wheel turns, every 5 minutes a bead drops down the cord. Orange beads represent hours, gold and silver beads represent noon and midnight."........"To "stop time", remove the beads and wear them proudly, as a statement that you are in control of your own minutes.
The clock is manufactured and sold by Daniel Estes Designs

In my mailbox today!

Remember the post I made with the lovely collage by Liesl Pfeffer back in July? Well, this collage is now waiting to be framed and put on my wall! The print was sent to me by Kristina of Up your wall, an internet based gallery where you can buy really nice and affordable prints. The reason I got the print was that Kristina found Liesl through my blog! I love to connect people in real life, that's the best feeling in the world, but I never thought that this blog actually could be a place for that too! Love the print and good luck with Up yor wall, Kristina! Thanks a million!

A house in Norway...

I'm not from Norway but still I get homesick watching these pictures. I think I need a house. By the ocean. Just like this one.

Copenhagen mural

This is a house in sankt hans gade (in the heart of Nørrebro Copenhagen) with a great mural. I think it's so well done, even the frames of the windows have the same coulour as the wall! I pass it by frequently since it's my own neighbourhood and everytime i think of how I would love to see more of this type of facades in the city! I am going outside now to enjoy the beautiful weather, since the man is home sick and needs to sleep.

Alex Kopps

Alex Kopps is a San Fransisco based artist who works with mixed media, painting and installation. Found his work via Mint and the gallery shot (middle pic) looks very interesting. They remind me of a trip to Cartagena in Spain many years ago where all I can remember is alot of halfway torn down houses where the interior walls were visible with all of their old tilings and wallpapers. I would love to see an exhibition with Kopps' 3D work, until then, I enjoy the work on his site.

Just perfect!

I know that posting something from Design*Sponge may seem a bit like old news to many of you, but I could not resist to post this one. The pics comes from one of the excellent sneeks peeks of blog, probably the best one so far if you ask me! It's the parisian home of Ombline de Kersabiec. The colour scheme is just fantastic, a perfect blend of pastel, neon and neutrals! And the home has just the right mix of industrial touches and soft elements to really really appeal to me. The raw walls, the naked light bulbs, the geometric kitchen. I love it all!

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.

The lousy decorator episode 1

Thought I'd try to finally get something up on the walls and I got this really nice poster from my friends Hanna and Sofia at Vintage plant. I framed it and thought that it would look really nice in the livingroom next to the sofa, and it did. For 5 minutes. Then the whole thing went down and scared me to death, now I have shattered glass all over the floor. I think I need a cup of coffee.


Even Barbapapa felt like hiding....
