Beautiful images from the Day Home Autumn Winter 2010 collection. Day: “Silhouettes have been a key inspiration in the collection. The thing about silhouette motives are that they are not only graphically beautiful , they also starts your imagination, and you actually see details that you wouldn’t have seen in regular sketch.”
Also their fashion collection (image above) is gorgeous.

Let’s travel to Brazil today! Above a remote stretch of Brazil’s Bahian coastline sits an enchanting fishing village called Trancoso. On the town’s historic green (the Quadrado) is a secret garden holding a luxurious hideaway; the UXUA Casa Hotel.
Nine beautiful rustic ‘casas’ are built and decorated in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, recycled and organic materials, and attention to detail.
Complemented by spa, restaurant, and beachfront lounge, UXUA sets new standards of rustic design & luxury.
Features include full kitchens, private gardens, indoor/outdoor living rooms, open-sky bathrooms, antiques and Bahian artwork, king-size beds, wireless internet, satelite television. Some casas even have private plunge pools, jacuzzis, or hanging terraces!
That bench (image above) seems like the perfect spot to relax on the beach, which is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. A full 60% of UXUA’s seaside property is reserved for the use of some other very important guests: the area’s sea turtles.
For more information you can visit the hotel’s website.
Beautiful interior images (by Rachel Withing) in grey tone colors! Similar hamam towels (as featured in the top left image) are available from Le Souk.
This beautiful white color scheme table setting is inspired by the wild flower Queen Anne’s Lace, which grows along the roadsides in summer. The table is covered in linen and white linen napkins are tied with brown + white striped ribbon.
The table setting was originally created for a wedding but I think it is suitable for any occasion!

Digna Kosse graduated cum laude at Design Academy Eindhoven (The Netherlands) in 2009. Since then she is working as a free-lance designer. I love her ceramics project ‘een menselijke maat’.
Digna: “People are consuming more and more. All materials and resources we are using, are not in proportion to our own bodies, and our size in relation to the planet we are living on. For a long time, the human body has been the measure for many things, f.i. distances and weights. In this project, my body becomes a measure for consumption.”
Digna measured all parts of her body in volumes (litres)and these volumes she has captured in a series of tableware. On every bowl, cup and dish an engravement is placed, that says which part of the body and which volume fit into it.
On this rainy Monday morning I am loving … this gorgeous bouquet of flowers hand picked and arranged by Ingrid from Wood & Wool Stool.
Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend!

New at Le Souk is this gorgeous Birdhouse wallpaper. This unique wallpaper will turn any room in your house into something special! The wallpaper is filled with sweet birdhouses and elegant little birds on a worn-out background. Fabrics from the remnant basket, newspaper clippings, and cheerful prints provide a decoration for your wall.
Tip: you can also mount the wallpaper in a frame, on cabinet doors and other kinds of furniture. Also great to be used for nurseries and kids rooms!
The warm weather that we are experiencing here is great for al fresco dinners. The outdoor area of this gorgeous house on the Italian island of Panarea is ideal for outdoor eating.
I love the rustic kitchen (top left image) and the beautiful ceramic plates and bowls.

Remember this summer cottage decorated in white and rattan? There are some more photos of this cute little house to be found on the website of Maison & Demeure. The gravel terrace (image above) is protected from the sun by simple white curtains. A tree log, painted with white lacquer, functions as a table.
The cabin is decorated with items from stores such as IKEA and beautiful objects found in designer shops and flea markets. The folding table, lanterns and straw cushions add to the tropical feel of the space.
