Nestled In

I love the first weeks of autumn when new lovely colors start appearing in nature. This is how the Rowan looked like at the beginning of the summer, this (above and below) is how it looks like now. See more pictures here.

We bought this beautiful Blonde Redhead gig poster from The Small Stakes months ago but had trouble finding a frame for it. Last night we decided to forget the frame alltogether and we hung it on the bedroom wall with a paper clip. The colors in the poster go really well with the color of the wall.

Here is a close-up of the poster. Love those little buttetflies!

Here is what we brought home from our impulse trip to Ikea today. The succulent, a white Kapa plant pot (close up above) and a Jorun cushion cover (below).

These days our livingroom is very green+white, my favorite color combination. But I just realized now looking at this picture that this corner of the livingroom is mostly stuff from Ikea! The sofa, the small table, the rug, the plant pot, the plant, some of the picture frames on the wall and the lamp and the chairs in the background. All from Ikea! We love Ikea but we don’t want to decorate our whole home only with Ikea. We do have a lot of other stuff too, mainly trift store finds and furniture we have inherited from relatives, but looking at this picture you would think that we only own things from Ikea!

The vintage Arabia leaf bowl looks great next to the new pillow.

I’ve had kitchens on my mind lately. Here are some great inspiration pictures from Domino Magazine if you’re thinking of planning a new kitchen or re-doing your old one. Or maybe you’re just dreaming about planning a new kitchen like I am!

I found photographer James Merrell’s beautiful work via fellow Finnish blogger Ripaus Inkivääriä. Here are my favorite images from him, all very inspiring. I hope you enjoy them too!
