Guest Star

I'm still in awe after seeing my good friend T.'s incredibly stylish new place. And yes for all you single ladies out there, this is actually a single guy's flat. Amazing, right ?

I love his wonderfully minimalistic decor ! Of course it would be even more perfect with a few more plants... and cats ;-)

No. Just kidding. Sadly my photos don't do this place justice.

I don't usually post pictures of myself or my friends, but I had such a fun evening, I can't resist adding this last one (Plus I don't look like a total twat for once).

Thanks T. for a truly lovely time !

How many...

... Jason Munn posters can one decently own and still lust for more ? Want, want, want, want !

Drooling...

Hall stand still

Pfffff, trying to find motivation to get going with the hall paint... I wonder how some manage to find the energy to paint a whole house ?

I confess, I have been a very lazy fat cat this weekend. Bad fat cat ! BAD ! No progress to report.

But cruising the Ikea website for some inspiration, I stumbled upon these.

Alex drawer unit (with 9 drawers) - 99 EUR.

I am thinking that this would be a perfect fit for the messy walk in closet in the hall. If I get two, they would hold all my shoes perfectly, plus some other nick nacks (like scarfs, mittens, umbrellas, etc.)

This fella is definitely getting a closer look during my next big blue & yellow visit. Although I am also thinking that 200 EUR (for two) might be a bit pricy...


Maybe this version would be enough ? It's still 100 EUR though, but I kinda dig the casters - very practical for cleaning up all the cat fur bunnies hiding in that closet...


Look you can even get it in black ! Hhhmmm.

One thing is certain though. I am definitely getting one of these "Hang it all" thingys. But no way am I spending 200 EUR for the Vitra version - those guys are fucking insane when it comes to pricing !


Instead I spotted a nice English bloke selling knock-offs on ebay for 35 GBP + 10 GBP shipping. Now that I can live with.

Plus you have to admire this guys balls - ranting on about how his hangers are indeed knock-offs, but really GOOD quality ones as opposed to the cheapos from China. Now that's the spirit !

Charley Harper

Uh-Oh ! I am totally obsessed with The Art of Charley Harper. As my obsession grows, my productivity at work declines. I can't stay away from there trying to decide wich prints to order.

Here are just a few of my favourites - and that's only amongst the open editions.

Ikea Wish List

Do you ever daydream with the new super cool Ikea shopping list button ?

Now, for my living room (in my dreams also newly painted !), I'll take :

Aspvik wall unit - EUR 79.90
Ikea PS Karljohan side table - EUR 59.90


Koldby cowhide rug - EUR 199

To keep my "feetses" warm for the upcoming cold...
A couple of Ludde sheep skins - EUR 39.95 - for me and the cats

And then of course some lightening...

Maybe the notorious Ikea PS Svarva - EUR 99.90

Vistofta table lamp - EUR 19.95

Ljusas Ysby lamp - EUR 79.90


Kulla table lamp - EUR 59.90

More anti-cold measures Ikea PS Stoff - EUR 19.95
Ikea PS Vadmal - a mere EUR 29.95 for pure wool !
Ikea PS Sticka - EUR 49.95

And last but not least Jorun cushion - EUR 4.99 - wow for that price definitely my absolute front runner !


Ikea Stockholm cushion - EUR 14.95 but it is HUGE Ikea Stockholm Blad cushion - EUR 14.95 - again huge, but all that white might prove difficult with two black cats...

Hhhmmm, a total of EUR 800... how did that happen ?

Btw - all that black & white stuff, I would never have considered that a few months ago. But this is what happens when you become an avid reader of Door 16...

Lusting for...

this fabulous rug called "Brocante de Salon". Imagine that, your very own private living room flea market !

Ahhh, very chic. This makes my thrifty heart beat faster.

But alas - sooooooo expensive ! And soooooo unpractical with three cats leaving their fur all over...
