Today I’m loving … these storage jar with lids painted with chalkboard paint. This way you can easily label and relabel the jars. It’s a simple diy project: get some jars and apply a coat of primer on the lids. Then apply the chalkboard paint and voila, your jars are ready!

TRUCK FURNITURE is an independently-run furniture store/label from Osaka, Japan. Owner Tokuhiko Kise and Hiromi Karatsu have combined sustainability with a retro feel to produce a gorgeous collection of furniture.
The TRUCK catalog, shot in the home of co-owner Tokuhiko Kise, has a cult following in Tokyo. It sure is a feast to the eye!
Unfortunately the images and catalog are from inspiration only as these beautiful furniture pieces are not available outside Japan. Perhaps this will change in the future…

For a bathroom I love the use natural materials such as wood, rattan, cotton and linen. The bathrooms featured in the images above and below are just perfect!
The images above are from M. E. Schoole but I can’t remember the source of the top image. Does anyone know?
Accessories to create a similar natural and serene atmosphere: copper hamam bowls, thick Turkish towels, cotton hamam towels, stool made from solid wood.
