sunshine & stripes

Saturday morning, waking up with sunny stripes on the wall.

Working on a new knitting project, spencer with yarn leftovers.

spring forward

All that natural light throughout the house!

Spring is definitely in the air.

Can't wait to open the garden doors and live outside more.
Yesterday I've started to work in the garden for a while and pruned the ginkgo tree in our front yard.

Even though we have to be patient, before we can have breakfast in the front yard again.
Well, for the time being, we can start with a cup of tea with a warm woolen cardigan on the garden bench. Nothing wrong with that either.

captivating corner

While I am washing my hands, my eye catches the natural colors of the simple utensils and the light, in the corner of the sink.

I'm very visual and can be overwhelmed by a feeling of bliss all of a sudden, by the appeal of 'something simple'.

Our kitchen, an easy, real life space with stuff collected over time.
Kitchen utensils with functionality and personality;
The simplicity of two cutting boards against the kitchen wall.
A small twig, in a soda bottle, because it was just too small to join the magnolia bouquet.
and the shades of the tiles, which seem to change every moment of the day...

and I realise, I'm glad to enjoy the simple things.
(even though it is sometimes exhausting to see 'everything' and to capture the moment afterwards with my camera, haha..)

sunkissed friday afternoon

Though we were not treated to a solar eclipse in the morning, we had a sunkissed Friday afternoon.

Celebrate the first day of spring and enjoy your weekend!

a sudden spring sensation

Those flowers are on the kitchen table for almost the whole week now.
The afternoon sun is shining through the living room and it was so light, when I came home from work.

All of a sudden I was overwhelmed by a strong spring sensation, just looking at the very same flowers...
I love that feeling!

(and I had to capture the moment)

rock that wall

Morning sunlight in the kitchen.

The wooden blinds create this perfect light effect. Rock that wall!
