Oh, how Pinteresting Wednesday!

 

It’s time again. Wednesday is here and it’s Happy Pinning Day! Actually I’m a bit late, but it’s still Wednesday.

As done in past weeks I picked another fun home interior topic. Today's theme is about coffeetables. This has been a difficult piece of furniture ever since for me and there are so many factors that you have to consider to get a lovely setting. I actually have to admit that I was never contend with the different coffeetables we owned in our apartments. They were either too big, too small, too high, too low, the ones with a glass surface got too dirty quickly…you get the picture. It’s a disaster!

As a second component you have to take the style, size and layout of your sofa into account to have a harmonic setting. Whether it’s a L-shape or a straight one and how the table fits into the picture.

Anyway there are some combinations of coffeetables and sofas that really rock and which are decorated absolutely cute and individual. Here’s what I found.

So these are my favorite coffeetables that I found on Pinterest. A lot of inspiration to find the shape, size and style that I like for my future home.

Be sure to check out what the girls from the hob had pinned over at the link up party Michelle is hosting at The Vintage Apple.

Wishing you a great week.

Cosy Textures: Part One {Fake Fur}

 

To improve my cosiness indoors especially when it gets stormy and rainy outside I thought about my most wanted textures and fabrics used for my home. This post will be the first in a row about it and I plan on some more on the following Tuesdays.

Fake Fur is such a incredible material. You can snuggle up and it holds you really really warm. It’s so soft and sometimes it tickles your skin and you feel so well wrapped up. I would never wear real fur when it comes to clothing, especially fur coats are so horrible not naming the use of endangered animals for this stupid things!

Anyhow real sheep fur for instance is a thing I’m fine with and can handle (can’t tell you why, don’t blame me, feels more natural as we use the wool as well) but that’s all.

I have gathered a collection of different fake fur style decorations for you to have a closer look at the texture und use for being cosy.

Next Saturday there will be another texture post about the fun texture of knitted materials. Stay tuned and have a cosy weekend!

Cocooning

A huge trend that I recognized the last years turning up and getting bigger and bigger especially during fall and winter season is the cocooning.

And what is it you’re asking? Well imagine you’re a little caterpillar snuggling up in soft and cosy materials having a great time and hanging out just like pupated . You’re waiting to turn into a beautiful butterfly after retreating from the busy world outside recharging your batteries.

Now and then I need this little time out for myself. Don’t get me wrong I loved to got out, meeting friends and party but honestly as much as often as I enjoy being social I like to stay at home with my husband having a cuddly evening, treating us with delicious food, lighting candles, sipping some wine or tea and read something or watch a good movie.

When I’m on my own I really like to do some beauty rituals, taking long a bubble baths, manicure, pedicure, facial masks…the whole program. It’s just a girl thing. Do you agree?

Have a cosy weekend and do some cocooning to recharge for next week.

Oh, how Pinteresting Wednesday!!


Hi girls, it’s another Wednesday today. The week just went zoom and we’re currently in the middle of it lately.
As I tried to spend most of my spare time in bed these days to catch up on some sleep from the weekend - every good party has to be paid in some ways – my favorites this week are cosy beddings and headboards.

The bedding and headboard of your bed can change the whole look and atmosphere of your room. I’m always impressed of the (mood) change a room goes through when you put on new clean bedding in varying colors and patterns, not to mention textures. For fall/winter I like some microfiber or flannel to cuddle op while for spring/summer I like cotton and sometimes satin.

When it comes to headboards we are normally a bit restricted by our bed frames as it’s normally attached to the whole bad and can’t be replaced that easy. But if you’ve got the opportunity, it’s a great way to change room decors.

Everything Etsy

I have to admit something! I fell in love with Etsy this weekend.

I have never considered it as an online-shop I might like to shop at as I thought crafters were just from the U.S. and shipping would cost a fortune…it appears it doesn’t. So here I went browsing the Etsy network and picked some of my favorites for a cosy home to share with you.

You don’t know Etsy? Well, it’s an online market place for handcrafted and vintage treasures from sellers all over the world. You can find art, clothing, jewelry, beautiful things for your home and a ton of knick-knack and get lost while exploring.

I picked a few of my lovely finds and put them together in a collage to show you what you can find on Etsy.PicMonkey Collage3 Pillows / Diamond / Legwarmer / Scarf / Fridge / Board

Have you found anything gorgeous over at Etsy recently? What is your experience? I’d love to hear about that.
