outdoor inspiration

                                               
Today’s post is inspired by the beautiful weather we are having here in Tuusula.

Here's some gorgeous outdoor areas.

Space Planning for Open Floor Plan Living – on a budget

                          
Small open floor plan living requires thoughtful space planning. Especially if you have a limited budget and
you want a functional, stylish and comfortable space. The home is modern and lively and shows that with some time, creative thinking and a little elbow grease you can attain the stylish contemporary home of your dreams.

Resting Places

                                      

“Perhaps love is like a resting place,

a shelter from the storm,

it exists to give you comfort,

it is there to keep you warm,

and in those times of trouble,

when you are most alone,

the memory of love will bring you home.”

John Denver

The French like to live

                                
Loving the grain sack cushions; the gold letters on black background; the faux bird and cage; vintage toys and industrial chair; touches of red on grey.

This is not flashy, not even that pricey, more a collection of articles that are loved for what they are, warts and all!

                           

Provence chic

                          
I just love these photos featured in a French magazine, of a beautiful house in Provence. Love the colours, the choice of materials, the blending in of antique furniture without feeling stilted. La belle vie!

Muslin curtains around the bed feel soft.

 

Wonderful enfilade here, with the blue grey of the farthest curtains echoed in the painting on the wall.

This rounded ceiling is typical of the position of an old bread oven. Here

they've used it cleverly to house kitchen cabinets and a delightfully irregular wall of plates.

 

What a bold bed, heavy draperies, silk cushions, opulence!

 

This picture being slightly out of focus seems to add to the

intimacy, and the gentle effect of the colours.

 

Another great enfilade, love the wooden mounting over the doorway.

Rough and industrial loft

                                                              
Lately I have been experiencing a bit of lack of inspiration, the reason why I haven't been blogging as frequently.

But today, my lovely readers, I do have something special to post. I found the images of this fantastic industrial loft in my archives and had to share them with all of you. I really love the loft look and especially a worn out and beaten up brick wall. It gives this place instant coolness, don't you think? I wish I knew where this place was so I could pack my bags and move in. Right now! Excellent place!!!

Purple to Pink – Colour Inspiration

                                          
The caring pink derived from red and white, and the meditative purple mixed out of warm red and cool blue certainly add interest and that special vibe to a room.

Definitely beautiful, even I don't care much of pink
