Vintage cocktail chair


Lately I'm kind of obsessed by this type of '50s cocktail chairs. They look so nice and adorable! Ouh, must sit so comfortable, with that big big cushion, seems like you will sink in it when you sit on it. Unfortunately they're quite rare I think, I don't really find much of them on the internet, and I also discovered that they're quite expensive (and actually I don't have any space left in my room, but that's not a big issue, I want them so bad I could easily make some space :D). Kind of a shame that I couldn't find any pictures of the chair when standing in a nice living space, maybe that's another reason I should buy a pair of these!

Norway/Sweden


Back from holiday in Sweden and Norway. Had a lot of fun, especially evening swims in the lake nearby. Our little house was really in the middle of nowhere, very quite and completely surrounded by nature. Of course this also meant that we spent a LOT of time in the car everyday, to get to places where there was something to do.


We also went to Oslo (for my birthday) for a day, a little bit short, what a BIG city! Or maybe it just felt that big because we were already not used to it anymore, after a week of separation from everything.. I was sooo looking forward to find some nice design shops -I love Scandinavian design!- but at the end of the day I only saw two or three little shops and not really what I expected, quite disappointing. Maybe I needed to plan it a little more, look them up on the internet before we went to Oslo.. Now back in Belgium, happy to be back -to be able to look things up on the internet, to talk to friends again- but a little bit missing the beautiful landscapes (and actually the beautiful weather too, it's raining in Belgium) and the peaceful, quite little villages.
