Inspiring rooms #2

Freunde Von Freunden is one of my favourite websites to check out. I really look forward to their updates and today I am particularly inspired by this room! In fact I would love to live here. It’s the perfect mix between light and dark colours and beautiful furniture.

Inspiring rooms # 2

Summer is almost here

It’s heating up in Hong Kong and it’s time to pull out the summer shoes. These clogs from Céline are a few years old (2006), but they are just as cool this year as when I bought them. And the yellow colour makes me feel particularly sunny, summery and happy!

Mido Cafe

One of my new favourite places in Hong Kong. Mido Cafe in Yau Ma Tei. The design it seems has not changed since it opened in 1950. The food is ok and very reasonable. But mostly, there’s just an amazing feel to the place. Check it out if you’re ever in Hong Kong. 63 Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei.

Campo de Fiori, Rome

So, I was thinking about pizza the other day…. The best breakfast pizza in the world (in my humble opinion) is found here. At Forno Campo de Fiori in Rome. And let’s not forget, it also has the most amazing market…

Friends x Lamma

An afternoon with good friends ended up with the most delightful gift for our terrace: a driftwood table. The wood was collected on a walk to “our secret beach” and made on our terrace by Michael and Glenn. They are also part of 2 Years Ahead where you can see more driftwood projects. Thank you!

Pappa!

My parents’ birthdays are a week apart. Neither of them are around, but I never forget their birthdays. Today would have been my dad’s turn. My amazing and wonderful dad would have turned 70. Look how cute he was in 1950 when he was only 7!

10k Buddhas Monastery

Yesterday we visited the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monestary in Sha Tin here in Hong Kong. It’s a lovely place to visit. Amazing views of Sha Tin, monkeys (some quite angry) and ok Chinese vegetarian food (as long as you look past the quite controlling waitress).
…and I was dreaming on renovating that incredible old colonial house there.

Which finger?

I could quite easily put this on my wishlist! An amazingly cool ring by Roman jewellery designer Delfina Delettrez. She has talent in her genes being in the illustrious Fendi family. Now I wish I had visited her shop in Rome last time I was there…just to look of course.

Up against the wall...

Don’t we all feel like this some days? Interesting quote though. It was the name of an anarchist affinity group based in New York City in the mid-sixties. The phrase was taken from the poem, “Black People!” by Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones): “The magic words are: Up against the wall, mother fucker, this is a stick up!”
This artistic version is by Argentinian artist Rirkrit Tiravanija that was on show at the Hong Kong Art Fair 2012.

Annika is tired

…she’s always tired… She sleeps all day long. But then again, she is a cat, and cats do sleep around 15+ hours a day. Apparently they sleep to conserve energy for those stints of running around the house while us humans are asleep. And of course for hunting. Something Annika does not do. (But Jeffrey does. He caught a bat a couple of days ago…)

A visit to HK Farm

Yesterday our homeschool group went on a visit to HK Farm in Nga Tau Kok. And what a visit it was! I just love that place. The people, the vibe…so inspiring! So cool in fact that we will be going back to help out soon. Thank you to Michael and Glenn for telling us their story.
