today...

...i received six interior books from Japan, Tokyo. They are from PAUMES a french gallery and shop. The books I bought each invite us into 25 creative homes of artists, designers and architects in Paris, San Fransisco, Copenhagen and London. I will post pictures from the book as I find them around on flickr and maybe in magazines or on the internet. Here is a small taste:

take a sip...

...of this lemon soda. It is very easy to make lemonade. For 4-6 glasses boil 2dl of water and melt 200g of sugar in it. Cool for 4 hours. Mix with the juice from 4 lemons or 12 lime, 1l of sparkling water, icecubes and slices of lemon/lime. 

If you feel like getting tipsy, then use Cava instead of sparkling water;)

*the recipe is from the book Funky Hverdagsmad
*the picture is from food stylist Linda Lundgren

I like...

...designer Kirsten Friberts 44m2 home. It was shown in danish BoligLiv in oktober 2009, you can see all the pictures here. Here are my two absolute favorite ones. Genius idea painting the wardrobe and the floor the same color, and what a color!

a lovely bookshelf

I found the picture on Boligmagasinets homepage. Great idea placing some of the books with the front out, in that way you can also hide some of your less pretty bookshelf belongings behind the covers.

sweets from Ikea

deadgood design...



...is the name of the team behind this love seat from their Deadgood Love Collection. I just loooove it! 

have to...

..add something to my (long) wishlist. And it is a artbook with a collection of japanese woodprints made by the artist Hiroshige Edo (1797-1858). Not only are the prints in the book breath taking, but the whole book is made of this amazing and ultra thin ricepaper that just is a experience in itself. The book has japanese binding and comes in a bookcase.

Here are two of the 120 pictures:

take a bite...

...of these crispy crushed potatoes with fennel and garlic. Use 1kg of small potatoes. Boil for 10min until tender. Heat 1/2 and 1/2 of olive oil and butter in a large rosting tray in the oven at about 180*C. Tumble the potatoes in and crush gently. Add garlic cloves (leave them unpealed). 

Roast for 1 - 1 1/4 hour. Add fennel seads or something else for the last 20min of cooking. Scatter with lemon zest to serve.

wood, stone and steel


Here is a taste of rosegugginheimer architects amazing works. A vineyard in Massachussets, USA built in 2007. The interiordesigners are shelton, mindell & accosiates, New York. 

The book "Interior Now" writes about this house: The interior is what connects the architecture with the landscape. Wood, stone and steel combined with the context of sky, sea and grasses comprise the palette of the interior. 

Enjoy! 





this cushion








is from Day Homes summer collection. It is made of bamboo and would look great in a 44-shades-of-white home;)

well...















...I guess I can't hide my love for Marimekko. 

a sweet treat...














...for the eyes. This is the home of a designer-couple in Amsterdam

take a bite...




of this crab and cherry tomato pasta with lemon and basil. To serve 4 you need 400gr papardelle, 300gr cherry tomatoes, 2 cans of crab meat, zest of 1 lemon + the juice and basil. Add a little or serve with cheese if you feel like it. 

Bamboo...


...is one of the worlds most sustainable materials, and is now being exploited by designers for its light weight and versatility. The french brand Ekobo is one of those, and you probably know some of their work. They have beautiful handmade and stackable storage, and my favorite is the pictured 'Combo'.  
 

Kille Enna's...





...new book "Smag" is out in stores now. Kille is an inspirational young chef, who truly has a passion for her work. To every recipe you can feel, that there is so much more to cooking than just adding the ingredients.

asian fusion



























this house belongs to Antoinette Aurell and Rirkrit Tiravanija and is lokated in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Especially the kitchen is just beyond stunning. Unfortunately I can't find a picture of it, but you can see a glimpse of it in the background and imagine the rest....until I get a scanner that is, because this house is pictured from A-Z in my new book Interiors Now from Taschen.
