Hang some old crates on the wall- great way to display your kitchen collectables

or farm house auctions.

Bring the nature inside and create your own light fitting with beautiful branch. You can also do it ECO way and hang small glass lanterns from the branch and light up the ambience with tea light candles.

Aqua- the colour of clarity

Today I feel like aqua...the colour of open communication and mental clarity.  Just focus on the color aqua,feel calm and ready to face any challenges!

Black Star Studios in Invermere

I came across this neat art studio during my recent adventure to Canada. This little gallery is full of unique& handmade pieces from a diverse group of artists. I had a chance to talk to one of the founders, Cajsa Fredin, who loves to combine old&new&metal art, (see the chair below).  Thanks Cajsa!!
