Asian inspired wallpaper

Below image is the front cover of Elle Decor here in Spain. The storage furniture is apperantly from IKEA and then they just covered it in this amazing asian inspired paper. Also love the stripes chair and all the hyacinter ( have no idea the name of that flower in english…).  We allways need flowers in a room! But sincerly i would not like to live in a house with that humed struck wall.. but I have to admit it looks nice on photo.

Anyways what i wanted to get to was that brilliant idea of doing the wallpaper thing on a furniture. We have seen it so many times but this to my taste is one of the better. Now to the problem: where to find wall paper like that?

Some new ideas…

…for Sam’s room and all his books. I just adore the fresh energetic orange color. And instead of having an ordinary bookshelf this to me brings more light and air to the space…no? More movement…

Part from that this kids collection of toys is pretty awesome! Just look at the starwar guru, the yellow globe, the dinos, the almost eames chair or is it an eames chair with other chair legs? The bunker bead is pretty cool too!

Finally!

Finally finished…gosh I have been waiting for the creative nerve to kick in and this weekend it did. Finished the bedspread wih recycled fabrics for my sons bed. A bit too late though since the bed has grown. But i don’t care.
I also almost managed to make myself a bag and know Im doing some cute knit hats for the fall that finally seems to be hitting Barcelona too!

If I had an office…

…then it would look something like this.
Lots of light – its vital! White walls and vintage storage objects, colorfull details as using old tomato cans and decorating them with wall paper, a MAC and my 2 sowing mashines.

I should also get my dads old typewriting mashine where i used to write my school papers on for writing thank you cards to those who order my Blueberries & Milk dresses.

and I need a huge table for cutting and patternmaking…And music! Tom Waits, Johnson ,Frankenreiter etc etc…

And all my office supplies I would get from the GREEN OFFICE SUPPLIES website.

A wall of creativity

Desperatly looking for the shack of designer Isabel Marrant and Jeromy Dreyfuss in France with no luck. Where did I saw it today? In what blog? I was sure it was the NY times…but anyhow NY times allways has great slideshows of homes and now I found a photo of this so perfect in every way childs room. The whole wall to paint on, the light coming in, the use of antique furniture..the lamp and one of my all time favorite interior item: the globe. The color of the walls and the geographic patterned carpet makes perfection.

…but i still wonder: where are all the toys? the mess? … the crayons for making those drawings. I know I know its a photoshoot but still.

Have a lovely weekend! I so need it!

New sporty fresh fall look? Yes this is for me!

The bags are so huggable – especially the pink shopping. Can i just have it at home like a pillow or something? Love the label to: sais how fish nets in gr was recycles to make the fabric. Super!

and here we go! One of these will be my new sneakers for fall. Or all of them…depends on my wallet.
Organic cotton, chrome-free suede,recycled rubber sole,organic cotton lining and insole recycled from mattress foam…and the design is really really nice.
All from Spanish Ecoalf.

Vivienne Westwood’s statement

When going through all september issues yesterday I found this publicity for the splendid dame Vivienne Westwoods accesories. What a contrast! The rebellious lady is still going strong with her political statements of what needs to be adressed and talked about…loudly. If you look closely on the bottom of the page its sais: Leonard Peltier is innocent.

I did not know the story. If you are interested you can read it here.

My new dress!

Yep last night I got creative and I made myself a dress. You like it? I am happy with the result and I think I will do some more…Got some compliments for it when wearing it yesterday too so at the end of the day I was rather proud and ready to sow some more!  Anyhow  tonight i will let my overlock rest -  after everyone has gone to sleep I will be up reading Lonny !
