Get started!

How many times haven't I thought of starting something? And how many times haven't I started something without finishing it? When you have ideas and the will to do something - do it!

Get started!

Inspiration White and Blue

The view from the sunbed during my hard days in the sun at the roof top includes the swimmingpool and some plants in giant cobalt blue pots against white walls. My first thought was related to those Greek white washed houses with blue doors, built closely to each other. White and blue is such a timeless color combination and it always works. For example white and blue Ming vases are a perfect extra detail in your home, especially when mixed with mordern furniture.

White and blue together, isn't it just beautiful?

Champagne Beauty

I don't have any special reason for publishing today's post, I just found this picture and got inspired. One look at it and I immediately felt the taste of a cold bubbly champagne, the feeling of luxury silk and expensive jewelry. Take a look you too and maybe you will be extra chic tomorrow...

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:

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

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.
