Art and shiny things…
Japanese minimalism, with earth tones and rounded corners. There’s something so restful about this room, it exudes a natural ease, stripped of effort or technology, almost as if it’s bleeding into the greenery outside the door. Would you live here?
I’m also in love with this Traditional Masai Choker from West Elm
Not to mention the gorgeous (if overpriced) Persian rugs in West Elm’s Found Shop

The minimal, streamlined look of this room, and the quirky touches with the hangers on a wood chain and gold-tinged rug.

Tonight’s post oddly enough is about cups.
French brown coffee cups with yellow dots (via RueDesLouves)
And a marbled sake cup set from Leif.
You know, the older I get, the less I like marble and stone – my tastes run now more toward wood and brick – but these sake cups are genuinely lovely. Which do you prefer?
“It seems like we constantly live in the future, always out of step with our present, always one season ahead. Always needing some new thing or the other in order to have the perfect life/ perfect home. I completely understand that is how businesses have to work and I love the home catalogs and have hoarded many but as you go about your day, I want to leave you with a gentle reminder: your home is about you and the people you share your life with. Yes, it should be filled with beautiful things that give you pleasure every time your eyes fall on them. You marvel at the colors, the textures, the prints and patterns, the skill of the artisan. But it isn’t only about objects and things. As clichéd as this may sound, it’s about love, beautiful thoughts, kindness and compassion. Of being aware of your blessings. I don’t mean this in a naive, feel good, one size fits all way. Don’t you think every kind thought, word or gesture makes your surroundings more beautiful?”
