Think out of the pot

The leather pot that holds my ivy is a favorite. Kept it outside during the summer to get a more wonderfully worn look. It worked. Leather is a lasting material and when in a good quality will just look more beautiful with the years.
I love that.
Pots in ceramics is expected but a pot in leather is thinking out of the box or...out of the pot so to speak.

Inspired lighting

The making of:
Mounting the undercover lamp just like sheet rock, with only the electricity cords as the exeption.

After spackling and the firs coat of
basic white paint it looks good.

Up and down light in the same light makes for good atmosphere lighting.






Fringes did wonders and was the idea of Lighting Designer Svante Petterson whom I worked with to do the lighting for this TV project for Äntligen Hemma DIY show at channel 4 in Sweden.

Fringes make the light much softer. Here its also used as a decorative effect.

The right type of lighting at the right place.
What do you need ?

The lamp embedded in the wall and with the right wall color.

Creativity

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep.

This friday I would love to get this handmade floor lamp made from recycled copper pipes.
Found it at Grandpa, but it has been made in 5 ex and they all sold out. I so understand though.

Skulle gärna gå och skaffa mig golvlampan på bilden på Grandpa på Södermannagatan på Södermalm i Stockholm som jag känner väl då min lägenhet jag flyttade från till huset här vid Uttran låg där.

Rather have a Giraffe than a Grasshopper :)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend
