My latest buys - Gold imperial glasses

I just received these gold beauties a few days ago. The above picture I took with my phone, is where I have my plates, glasses, vases and bowls. The gold glasses are vintage Sohi imperial Culver glasses that I purchased on Etsy and Ebay. Just amazing! Can´t understand why nobody makes these kind of glasses any more, they are so gorgeous. I found a lovely article about them here on the blog Tatter and Frey She has a lovely Etsy shop with vintage items to decorate your house here.

The other glasses more to the right are Vintage Culver glasses also but with a geometric pattern.

This collection is drop dead gorgeous. I am addicted now to start collecting more myself.

But I am already happy withe the ones I have and they look so good on my shelf!

Baby news update

Dear all, thank you for the patience! Today the 29th is Oliver´s 6 months milestone.
He is such a happy baby. Above picture big brother Matteo is giving a kiss.
So how is it to have to little ones you might ask? Ufff their a handfull, that´s why my lack of writing posts on my beloved blog. In the beginning there was some jalousy but now that Matteo is more involved in helping with baby Oliver he doesn´t show it that much. Matteo even advises me when the baby is crying I must check if Oliver has his pacifier...
Matteo starts talking better and better. Today when we were making a stroll in the city he was sitting on his daddy´s shoulders and he saw a short haired dog walking in front of them. Matteo said: daddy daddy, I can see the dogs butt, do you see it too?
I was just out of the blue, and I just had to laugh.

Note:
Dear Dad, happy birthday tomorrow the 30th of June! Love you
kisses from the 4 of us
xoxo

Happy Mothersday

Dear Mom, I love you. You know I do and I know I cant say it enough times.

Also to all the other mommy´s on the globe, soon to be mommy´s and the mommy´s of sweet furry four legged animals.... HAPPY MOTHERSDAY

office chairs

The Everygirl

I am in need of new office chairs and I have been in love with white office chairs for a while. I have found one in particular that I love, but also comes with a expensive pricetag. As I need 4 chairs so that will be a no go.

I do came a cross a knock off version with a better price tag here at decosillas

OR

another option will be a reproduction of the Eames chair, I love the original Eames chair, but for the office I need wheels. The idea to sit on a hard chair without any cushion, makes me rethink that. While brouwsing on the internet I found a company who produces wool felt cushions for these type of chairs

.

Really like them in pink or black.

It´s a fifty-fifty situation. Wich option do you like most?

Emil Stejnar Starburst Chandelier

I am officialy an owner of this beautiful chandelier. I picked it up after doing some research on the internet. The seller, Edwin, had this one for sale as he already has a few of them installed in his house. I have been in LOVE with this vintage chandelier since years. Above picture is the clothes designer Betsey Johnson.
I am imagining various option where it could be. Maybe above a bar extension of a coocking island, or above our bed or dining tabe. Endless possibilities.
This lamp was designed by Emil Stejnar in 1950.

Many of these chandeliers are for sale on First Dibs

 This image comes from my most favorite blog Made By Girl, Jen the author visited the Kate Spade Boutique in NYC and they hace these chandeliers in their window display.

I wanted to thank Edwin for selling this chandelier to me, he was very patient as I could pick it up 2 weeks later. Edwin is a graphic designer and his wife Angelique is interior decorator. I have to say, it was one of the best decorated houses I have ever seen in my life! If you need a graphic designer or interior decorator, don't hesitate to contact them. 

Fish scale or scallop

Dear Hettiie and Jessica, thanks for motivating me and get me back to blogging. As you know my new experience of being a mom of a 2+ year old and a 4 month old baby had me very occupied. As we might move to a new place, lit up the fire of my desire to decorate a new place.
I absolutely love the fishscale pattern in tiles and pillows especially.
Something that caught my eye is a marble fishscale backsplash for on the kitchenwall.

I want this for my future house.

Gold scallop fabric from Caitlin Wilson is already on my wishlist. Have to wait untill the kids are a bit older so I am not affraid for dirty fingers or pensil stripes on my pillows.

I admire this 93 year old lady, she is the proof that style doesn´t age. 
Good advise: She prefers to have one simple black dress and a lot of accessories, that way you can create many different outfits.
