A touch of pink and gold

A Norwegian living room. Pink and gold look modern and fresh here. The space has great lamps, don't you think. They add a certain je ne sais quoi touch.

Spring bouquet!

It looks like as if spring has finally arrived in Western Europe! This coming weekend we switch to summertime. When you live in central Paris you have to go out and buy nature, so here are a couple lovely spring bouquets.

Let's celebrate 150 years Italian unification


Today is the 150th anniversary of Italian unification. Thanks, Signore Garibaldi! My dear friend R., an Italian expat living in Paris, forwarded me this link to the cute brooch book. It measures approx. 3 x 2cm, is made from recycled paper and has a leather cover I thought it would be the perfect present for Italy lovers today.

How very Marcel Duchamp

I think this lovely decorative stand which reminds me of Marcel Duchamp's artwork needs no explanation.

Modern & small


We are starting the week in Paris. Since small is the new big and I am somewhat obsessed with small spaces today I wanted to share with you a 35 m2 studio in my home town. Putting the kitchen in the center and adding glass walls is such a clever use of space! Hiding the washing machine in a tiled cover under the bathroom sink is another chic solution. Of course, I love the Panton chairs, as always.

After the wildly popular first instalment of storage solutions I am back today with more ideas. Since we tend to have little space in Europe we need to think about finding stylish solutions to store our stuff (or, ahem, recycle/upcycle/throw it away/donate to charity).
