ecological living – style without compromise

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!

Brooklyns General Store

The Brook Farm General Store...I would love to have one in my neighbourhood! Come over the Atlantic and build one here too!
Love the soft colors and that seems the natural handfeel and feelgood-ness about it all!

For the new born..

..and if there were one for adult size I would sure get one! Does not take up space at all and its just so smart and cool modern scandinavian looking ( you know what I mean ). Plus it rocks gently and that might help you some if you been wrestling with some sleepless nights. And you can bring it with you on travels too! A perfect all in one bed for the first months of your baby.  From Mawok.

Anyhow just got back from some 2 weeks of vacation in a sunny Stockholm. We did some days in the outskirts of the archepelago, visited Dalarna and the lake Siljan and also had one night at the Marina Tower hotel thanks to my beautifull friends. If I have time soon I will show you pics.

Something about those Brazilians…

and their playfull apartments that just make me awwww. They have a natural talent for mixing old with new, soft with hard surfaces, color and texture that is to me a pleaure for the eye.  And just ideas like using for storage old plastic fruit and veggie boxes and put them in a 60’s inspired shelf furniture…so like it!I can imagine the room getting filled with beautfull people, a mojito in their hand dancing softly the rythms of samba. More of the very interesting  historical background of this modern Brazilian design concept and photos ( yeah! ) is here.

Print your own fabrics!

Pinning hecticly over at Pinterest I happened to stumble over Spoonflower. Basically 4 amazing people having one amazing idea and making it come true: design and print your own fabric and have it delivered to your home in 2 weeks, no minimums asked  There is  different qualities to choose from – many of them are ecological – and you can browse through the library of prior clients who has had their own print be immortal on fabric and maybe choose something from there if you aren’t yourself feeling very creative. I who am in the fashion and textile industry feels it is a marvellous thing what they have accomplished and they do make many dreams come true in the hand craft community. Below are some of my favorites but there are so many more!
