Finding the perfect place

It takes time to find the perfect place, so I am very happy, when my paintings do :)

Kretsloppsparken in Gothenburg, Sweden

Kretsloppsparken is a huge thrift store with a cafe & bistro in Gothenburg, coordinated by a friend of mine, Pål Mårtensson, where you can find many vintage treasures or you can bring your old stuff, you do not need anymore. When Pål came to Florianopolis to a conference on Waste Prevention and Recycling, he brought an idea to create this kind of place also here. Fingers crossed...

Interiors I could live in: Emily Chalmers Loft

Emily Chalmer is the owner of an interiors boutique "Caravan" in East London. Her ex-industrial loft is full of various types of materials in many different patterns and treasures from flea markets. They are interestingly combined to create an original space of eclectic chic which I absolutely adore.
All these photos by Debi Treloar are from her book " flea market style ".

advice:

1. Beautiful things never go out of style!

2. Too much patterns confuse and irritate so it is better to link them by colour or similar motifs...

3. Domestic pipes and cables can be useful to store tools or to display beads and dresses...

4. Buying on the flea markets, jumble sales, village fairs or internet sites it is not only a money saver but first and foremost it is an opportunity to create a unique and cosy space that we can really call home!
