...




This weather gets me melancholic and poetic. Sad and happy at the same time. Kind of like it. I have not done anything lately and it feels good. Even though I have bad conscience of this laziness, I will take everything off it, because it is only few days and we are all back in the rat race...  Maybe a long walk in the woods today and deep breaths.




Inspiration | Gitte Kjaer






After Christmas is fun to start thinking about next year. We have big plans for it, but one step at a time.  I will tell you more when the time is right. Today I have been just dreaming and looking for some inspiration pictures. These beautiful pictures by stylist Gitte Kjaer really caught my eye.  Lovely colour palette and compositions. Have wonderfull reat of the year!

Joulun jälkeen ajatukset siintävät jo seuraavassa vuodessa. Suuret ovat suunnitelmat, mutta mennään nyt päivä kerrallaan. Kun aika on oikea niin kerron suunnitelmista täälläkin enemmän. Sillä välin voin uppoutua unelmiin ja haavekuviin. Niihin parempaa paikkaa saakin hakea, sillä kauniit värit ja täydelliset kompositiot löytyivät stylisti Gitte Kjaerin sivuilta.  Mukavaa loppuvuotta kaikille!

Dollhouse by Boomini

This wooden dollhouse by Boomini is just so adorable!
If my girl would be little again:)
All furniture is made of wood and plywood, painted with watercolors, which are safe for children. Kids can play with it from all sides at the same time. Check out also the bigger dollhouse from boomini´s site.

Aika ihastuttava tämä Boominin vanerinen nukkekoti!  Väreinä huonekaluissa on käytetty lapsille soveltuvia vesiliukoisia värejä. Se on kooltaan suuri ja mahdollistaa useamman lapsen yhteisen leikin. Kannattaa kurkata sivuilta myös kerrostalon omainen nukkekoti.

For christmas

Bloggers tour in Berlin

Our Bloggers tour went to Berlin a week ago in collaboration with Visit Berlin. We stayed in this cool Michelberger Hotel were the rooms were big, lobby cosy and Mojitos tasty!

On our first evening we had dinner at Cookies Cream restaurant.  It was a fun experience with a gourmet vegetarian menu. And you should take a visit to just see were it is located ;)


http://www.fashionforhome.com/
On the next day our first meeting was with  Fashion for home. The brand is quite new and was founded  by Marc Appelhoff and Christoph Cordes in 2009. They make made-to-order, high-quality, designer furniture that is smart for every budget and looking after the environment is one of their top priorities.  We were so happy to start our trip from their showroom. There was this delicious breakfast waiting for us and  after a few cup of coffee and a little chat, we were spread into two groups and were given a task to style pictures by using furniture and accesories from Fashion for home.
I was in the first group and did something minimalistic together with Allan and Gerard.  The second picture was made by Igor, Anna, Desiree and Emma.


After the styling we said goodbye to Fashion for Homes showroom and headed to have a lunch with Etsy Berlin. They had wonderful office with funny details here and there. 

Later in the evening we had a quick visit at Frantastic Frank Berlin and after that we were invited to have a dinner at SUPERGRAU. That place was a amazing. One another more and more beautiful design products. I just could not take my hands of my camera and I almost forgot to eat. Furore lamp was one of my favourites from that shop. Also the Expose shelf and Hangar wall lamp were so great designed that I almost bought those to myself.










 On the next day we had our guided "green design" tour, with Visit Berlin and our guide Miriam from Go ART!  It was about aspects of Berlins creative, eco, fair,  sustainable lifestyle, art and design, concepts stores and meet the people beyond. The tour was wonderful and we visited some nice places like: Green Living,   Noodles Noodles & Noodles corp, Aedes, Imago camera and  Voo store. But again there was this one place were my eyes hands and camera were like glued together. It was called Manufaktur HEER. HEER horsehair mattresses and leatherworks are all produced exclusively by Daniel Heer. The place was just so wonderful with all the metal tools, fabrics and leather pieces showing on the table. We were able see the material and production process behind each handmade piece in the collection.

SOUVENIERS


I had the most wonderful time in Berlin last week. I was there with my blogger friends from our  Design Bloggers tour group.  I will soon get back to you with further information and highlights from our tour.  Untill then here is some pics that I took at home. My weird souveniers like silver ball, metal plates, silver and gold tape ect.  I had no idea that there was this awesome DIY store in Berlin called Planet Modulor. You can just imagine how crazy I went in there ;) It really is heaven for all of you diy girls and boys out there!


Viime viikolla tein pienen visiitin Berliinin yhdessä Design Bloggers tour ryhmämme kanssa. 
Palaan matkaamme tarkemmin vielä myöhemmin. Sitä ennen muutama kuva oudoista tuliaisistani joita raahasin mukaani Suomeen. Kuten hopeinen pallo, metallilevyjä, hopea- ja kultateippiä ja vodkaa (vain sen etiketin takia,heh) Menin aivan sekaisin Planet Modulorissa. Visiitin arvoinen paikka kaikille tee-se-itse ihmisille.
