Once this old chair was green.
After a long time in the garden, the paint was peeling off.
For the time being the seat is unpainted, slightly sanded and stamped.
Until we have figured a new color...
Early in the morning I got a surprise from Fermob.
A big box all the way from France.
A while ago I got an email from Emmanuelle of Fermob.
Because many of my [fermob] photos were featured on their website and casting campaign, I could simply choose which color Surprising lounger I would like to have.
Well choosing a Fermob color isn't that easy ...
I decided to choose linen.
The chair is now in the living room and the kelim pillow from Marrakech has found it's perfect place.
The industrial design of the chair and the traditional woven pillow are a striking contrast.
Merci beaucoup Fermob!
Fairy tales do exist.
Chilling in the riad is a true relief after the complete chaos of the city.
Verveine or mint tea?
this morning I've been running
with many layers of clothing,
woolen hat & gloves
and yet I still was cold
once home
I 'curl' myself into the sheepskin
and I'm surrounded with woolen blankets
I want spring!
Fortunately, summer is back! Today is the perfect day to get my hanging chair from the attic. Yesterday I suddenly remembered it, when Nina presented the Moroso chair and this is what I found at Anthropologie. I do not know if the anthropological summer egg is comfortable, it looks very inviting to me.
Since I've no appropriate tree to hang the chair, there is a swing hook screwed into the door frame. Just a perfect place for lazy summer day.
Everywhere in the house there are piles of books and magazines. It seems every month rises a new one somewhere. On one of the many tables, desks, floors, benches, kitchen window sill and now even on chairs.
I'm not a fan of bookcases, except the vertical bookcase Sapiens designed by Bruno Rainaldi, the Letters bookshelf by Pieter de Leeuw or the Selfshelf by Skylla. However they do not offer too much storage space, which is not effective.
I remember a picture of books that were stacked on color on a huge table and it looked great. Maybe I should give it a try.
It was not easy to get this IKEA PS Vågö chair designed by Thomas Sandell.
A typical case of love at first sight. It's perfect for outdoor use and came in the colors black, white, green & orange.
Unfortunately the easy garden chair disappeared very quickly from the PS collection and I occasionally searched on the web for a secondhand chair.
With spring approaching, I ventured once again an attempt to obtain this classic design. I finally found one and was also fortunate, it was in my favorite color and accompanied by a matching footstool. Yay!
This morning the big package arrived and the plastic seating surface was rather cold when I made a test sit, so I put my sheepskin Ludde on it and enjoyed the new Vågö while reading the newspaper.
Now the seat is moved to the backyard and I look forward to the spring, for it's a perfect chair to 'sit and hook'.
