Frigjort og åpen planløsning

For et deilig sted, det primitive trepanelet mot det florlette tekstilet, som fungerer som romdeler mellom badet og resten av boligen. Liker den åpne planløsningen, men kan være greit å kunne trekke for av og til så man får litt privatliv. Bildene er via Architect-cafe som står bak prosjektet, funnet via Dornob.

What a cool place, the primitive wooden panel and the soft curtain, that works as a divider between the bathroom and the rest of the house, make a wonderful combination. Love the open plan, but see the convenience to pull for now and then to achieve some privacy. Images via Architect-cafe, (the architects of the project), found via Dornob.

Do you ever think of just packing everything up and moving to a different country?

I think if I had my choice I would move to Spain or maybe Italy. Their way of life just seems so agreeable. On the one hand it wouldn't be that hard, I do have an EU passport that allows me to work anywhere in the European Union but I can't speak Spanish or Italian to save my life. Recently, I've been catching up on Jordan Ferney's blog posts about moving her family to Paris, France. Like many of us she had a dream to live in another country and this year she made that a reality. When I read about her schedule (she and her husband still work American hours meaning from 6pm-1am France time) I was even more enamored of her lifestyle. It's really inspiring to read about two people making it work and her photos of her life in Paris are just as you imagine it would be.

Of course, it's often images like the ones below that have me hankering to move to Europe. All of these interiors are by Spanish designer Lazaro Rosa-Violan. I am absolutely in love with everything he and his firm Contemporain do. His knack for layering objects and styles is simply sublime.  And once again, I'm kicking myself for not going with the encaustic black and white tiles in our kitchen – see the first image.

Where would you move if you had the choice?
