Words for your wall

I am collecting quotes. They get framed and put on my walls. I see them everyday, maybe I do not read them every day but they are hanging there and a quick look on them and I get reminded about those things that engage me, encourage me and are important in life. Latest out are these:

Four Friday Favourites

This week I have been to several furniture stores - I am in need of a new dining table and can't decide.. A round modern one or a square more classic one... or maybe a square modern?? Or a round classic? Well you see, as ambivalent as always.. My four favourites are these:

Saarinen "Tulip" Table



Ikea brown black table "Bjursta"

Four Friday Favourites

It's spring!! At least today. The sun is shining and it feels like it would soon start to bloom ?? No?? Not yet but I am in a good mood and up for mingle and a drink or two! This Friday I want to get dressed up and go to cocktail parties. I don't mean to encourage people to drink alcohol but have a look at these pictures and admit that you get thirsty??

Four Friday Favourites

I am about to finish something and hopefully soon begin something new. What could be a better start than leave the cold and cloudy Luxembourg for sun and palms and extraordinary architecture?

This Friday I am inspired by beautiful and impressive buildings that I have seen on my trips to Abu Dhabi and maybe will see again...very soon... here are my four favourites:



Emirates Palace


Grand Mosque


Yas Hotel



Hyatt International
(correction: the building is still under construction and is expected to be finished during 2011)

I must also give cred to the stylish layout! Have a look and you will save the link among your favourites - I promise!

Inspiration Dining rooms

Here are some inspiration pictures on different dining rooms.. I prefer comfortable chairs and a round table and dark woods. It's supposed to be cozy and functional - a place where to spend hours and hours with delicious food, nice music and good friends.

Brad Ford

The american interior designer Brad Ford has a sense for mixing woods, different fabrics and plants in a great way, his style is easy to adapt but still so original. In the first picture below I especially like the fur on the leather day bed - a perfect match of different materials.

Discreet accent colours and again a nice mixture of wood, leather and soft fabrics.
