Rock and Roll elegance | Fashion - Tiger of Sweden |

I personally can't think of any other color being the coolest of all then black... Just like my blog and home, which are both all black and white whith different shades of grey. My wardrobe is overall black and white..... Ofcourse there are little touches of 'color' in my home, but nothing really present... Looking around from where I sit now "hanging on the couch" I can only spot a bit of gold in a concrete bowl and some color from books and magazines.

Same for my wardrobe... there are some faded blue jeans and one ore two blue tees.. but everything else in my favorite shades. I have a little Pinterest album that more or less shows the style I love most: Le Style  Anyway I guess that if you 'know' me a bit you'll understand why I love this fall 2012 Black jeans collection by Tiger of Sweden where I also found these images.

Design Trade Blogger Tour | Vitsoe

Day two of Design Trade Blogger tour started with our Styling challenge at VIPP, in case you missed it, see my pictures here: Vipp Styling Competition. And after a tour through the old silversmith Georg Jensen we were off for a working lunch at the Bella Sky Hotel where we discussed the plans for te forthcomming Design Trade Faire and our Blogger zone. 

Before heading of of to Host, the restaurant I wrote about when it opened here we visited Vitsoe in their new office with an amazig view over the roofs of Copenhagen. I made some picture of their Shelving system but I thought these pictures, which I found via Pinterest, give a better idea of the many ways to use the system. More info and ideas on the Vitsoe website.

Another Blogger challenge | Montana | Copenhagen

Montana has a beautiful showroom with concrete floors and an amazing view over the water. As you know I am not really into bright colours. But next to the colourfull chairs |the Tivoli chair reminded me of my holidays to Italy| and the huge pacmans on the wall, made out of the storage system, there was enough for my taste.

Chairs in beautiful whites and greys, I loved the mini sized Tivoli ones! And what do you think of this storage system in overall white?! There are speakers integrated in this storage which I think is really cool , because speakers are not something I like to have in sight all the time. At home I listen music through my telelevison because I can't be bothered to put the ugly speakerset back on...

After a nice chat with Joakim Lassen who took us trough the world of Montana and their latest design. He had a little challenge for us and asked us, referring to the 'The Bachelor' chair: “Who is Mr. Bachelor?” Emma (Emma's Designblogg) and me wrote a fictive story about 'our' bachelor and made a little styled corner with the chair inside the shop that represented our story. 

We chose the dark grey chair. And our bachelor to be a street photographer who likes to chill at home with a nice glass of wine before heading te streets again at night, to party with his hipster friends, ohh and of course he has a girlfriend who is a model! You know the general cool guy ;P We ended our visit with a nice glass of wine in te sun... Blogger life can be good ;)

The stables project | A converted horse stable

When I was a kid I used to ride horses every week.... I still remember going to the stables and how I loved to be there and feed and comb the horses. I was pretty small by then and my parents thought it would be great to just ride in the woods instead of going to a posh manege. And I really loved being able to sit on a tall horse right away, while my friends were riding on ponys! 

There was a little cord on the headset of 'my' horse, held by my teacher and I was taught to just look at him and do the same. It was all so natural and simple... I had my rainboots on and felt so free...

I had to think of this when I came across  a project called 'The Stables' located in Winchester, England. It is a private home made out of what was formerly a stable for racing horses. Ain't it lovely with the white walls and the old parts. How do you like it?
