Globetrotter vibes

A bunch of lovely chandeliers and vintage suitcases cought my fancy today. I've been collecting vintage suitcases for ages because you can always store something in them and they add texture and some globetrotter vibes to a room.

Arts and crafts house

 I came across a lovely detached Thirties Arts and Crafts house in Brondesbury, London, today with some lovely quirky details. I dig the hot pink conversation sofa in the dressing room (which matches the headboard in the master bedroom), the playroom next to the kitchen and the china plates decorated with birds and flowers above the dresser in the spacious hallway. What do you like?

Funky armchairs

Photo: unknown

Good morning, folks! We have a day off in France today but it shall not keep me from blogging. These bright armchairs add fun and whimsey to every room. Think about having several in different bold colours around the fireplace. Which colour do you like best?

Form follows function

Form follows indeed function here with the product's smooth, elegant curves. Henning Koppel's designs look classy and timeless. Henning Koppel (1918 - 1981) was a Danish designer who worked, among others, for legendary silversmith Georg Jensen.

This post is for my blogger friend. R. because I think Koppel's design is his cup of tea. (I hope I am right).

Boho chic in Paris

A laid back boho loft in the Bastille area of Paris. A stylist couple converted a former factory (600m2 - gasp!!) and  initially decorated it in a more 'traditional' loft design (minimalist, industrial) before they decided to totally change their style and go ethnic and colourful. Bravo! This place oozes with happy vibes.

This morning my copy of The Meghan Method arrived. I'll write a review as soon as I've finished reading it.

Italian Impressions VI

Fleamarketing at Porta Portese in Trastevere, a hip neighbourhood in Rome. Be prepared to bargain hard and be tempted by what is on offer. The selection is wild and includes all price points and, how shall I put this, varying degrees of quality. In any case it is impossible to leave empty-handed, trust me.

Reader M. from New Hampshire wanted to see more photos of European everyday life (in this case: every weekend) so this post is for her.

 Oh, these chandeliers were so pretty. Next time...
