Bon Hiver

Oh the snow the beautiful snow filling the sky and earth below.
Over the house tops and over the streets, over the heads of people you meet.
Dancing flirting skimming along.
Oh the snow the beautiful snow how the flakes gather and laugh as they go.
Whirling about in their maddening fun it plays in its glee with everyone.
Chasing laughing hurrying by it lights on the face and sparkles the eye.
And even the dogs with a bark and a bound snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town is alive and its heart in a glow to welcome the coming of beautiful snow.

Bon Hiver

Light modern garden

I love old and rough..
But sometimes I experience something like this and it confuses me.
Beautiful!

Wabi Sabi Bathroom Inspiration

Wabi Sabi celebrates the “mellow beauty that time and care impart to materials,” as eloquently explained by Soetsu Yanagi.

some of the items you already cherish in your home could be quantified as Wabi Sabi, as are natural materials that are available through the hand of Mother Nature.

This bathroom from Notebook Magazine is an idyllic example of Wabi Sabi, with its aged wooden floors and the prevalence of weathered natural elements.

Vintage treasures

I have the pleasure of sharing peeks into the home and vintage treasures of Jess, from The Homebound.

For inspiration on renovations, doses of clever humor, and fantastic chalkboard paint ideas, The Homebound is the place to be.

And any girl who includes a vintage shop in her wedding registry is a fantastic chica in my book! Perhaps the best way to introduce Jess would be to share some of my favorite spaces in her lovely historic house.

Pairing a chalkboard panel with a clawfoot bathtub is so unconventional, yet so lovely together. I can imagine beautiful love poems written on the chalkboard panel.

Jess’ ingenious ways with chalkboard paint is the perfect solution to a home office’s wall. If I had this wall, framed to-do list and calendar, I know I would be exponentially more effective.

Gama Issa House

Gama Issa is a modern sustainable house was designed by Marcio Kogan located in São Paulo, Brasil.
The house which despite the concrete block which forms the house has a transparency between the garden, the parallelogram pool that runs along the house, and the interior of the house. Natural day light and ventilation are available throughout the entire house.

The wall that faces the courtyard consists of a two-story wall of glass panels that slide away in a nesting fashion to open the inside entirely up to the courtyard. The upper and lower floors are connected by two enormous, floor-to-ceiling bookcases.

Natural daylighting and passive ventilation are accessible in virtually every area of the home.

Olen tänään miettinyt maatessani olohuoneen sohvalla, flussan kourissa, kesää ja aurinkoa, josta ajatus siirtyi jouhevasti auringonottoon, terassiin, saareen, veneilyyn....

Kun flunssaisessa ja räkäisessä päässäni kaikki nämä yhdistyivät, tuloksena oli nämä kelluvat kodit.
Nämä, Saksassa kelluvat kodit ovat upeita. Korkealaatuista ja ultramodernia suunnittelua, ihmisille, jotka etsivät seikkailun lisäksi tyyliä sekä tasoa. Ei enää vanhaa kuunaria laiturin vieressä, jossa entinen merenkäynti on sanellut kaiken, viimeistä sisustustyyliä myöten.
kyllä kelpaisi hienommassakin asussa kannella lekotella, drinksu kädessä.

Mutta etsin lisää, jotenkin minun ranskalainen makuni, rustiikkinen mieleni kaipaa jotain, "rosoa"
puuta, vanhaa, kierrätettyä, romanttista.

Ja löysinhän minä.... :0)

 

Ylempi koti on tehty, kuten kuvasta näkee, vanhan junanvaunun ympärille ja kyseisen junan hylyn aikaa romantisoiden. Me likey!!!!

Alempi kelluva koti on restauroitu kaikella, mitä omistaja on saanut haalittua...  esimerkiksi laivaveistämöltä, ystävien aitoista, kirpputoreilta, jopa kanalasta.... holvikaari löytyi kirkosta San Franciscosta.

Luovaa, Hauskaa!!!! Kodikasta!!
