Amish barn living

While reading the New York Times  today, I found this great article of a couple who eleven years ago bought a farm only 15 minuts from downtown Pittsburgh, USA, and turned it into a relaxing place for their family and friends. The place is full of beautiful spaces and spectacular views. Read the full article here.

DIY: lacy storage and room divider

If you have an Ikea's Expedit shelf as a room divider, you may want to do something about some of the "backs". I love this idea from Seletti. You can do something similar using old lace curtains or crocheted pieces as a semi-transparent back. Do try this at home this summer.

Mini tagines for your table

More from TIne K: this time hand painted mini tangines. Cute. If you use them for salt or sugar, I guess a cork in the top, will  help keep humidity out.

Get the look - Natural Elegance

I love the relaxed feel in this Atlanta home. The grey walls, the soft colors, the natural materials, the artwork. I could move in any day. All pics from the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.

Industrial Chic + Celadon = Perfect!

In my previous post I confessed (yet again) my love for all things celadon green. It is a special soft green, carefully balancing on the fine edge of being boring and banal or subtle and elegant. 
Celadon Green was a rather common color in the 1930s, forties and fifties. Here in the shape of an old chair (from Modern50). 

Lovely Linen

Who can resist linen? It may crease easily, but who cares? It just gets more beatiful with each wash. Pure Wabi Sabi. These lovely linens were photograped by Trine Thorsen, who else?
