winter delights...
well its looking pretty stormy out the window today, and unfortunately, for us summer lovers, winter is just around the corner. however, there are a few delights that the winter months bring... open fires, hot chocolates, big snugly woollen jerseys and snugling up under the blankets... this beautiful blog i discovered this morning typifies the scandinavian lifestyle and the way they embrace winter time... how scrummy does this look?
junk and disorderly
i love trawling through this place... look at these little gems i came across this morning, nothing junk or disorderly here!

japan...
Like the rest of the world, Japan has been in my thoughts since its terrible earthquake and tsunami on Friday — if you'd like to help, I encourage you to donate to the Red Cross in your country.

31 blair road, singapore
some of my favourite buildings and architects are in singapore. here is one i just discovered this morning on architizer ...
i just love the way the historic and the modern work together and compliment each other. Many historic elements were left untouched in the 306 m² space, retaining the site’s historical essence and providing a quaint contrast to the unit’s modern interior.
What distinguishes this conservation house from most others is the unorthodox first floor layout which places the kitchen and dining space right at the entrance. This was done in light of the fact that most parties centre around the food, and this arrangement allows guests to casually mingle with their hosts as they cook.
Since the house was meant for rental, a neutral colour palette was used to suit changing tastes between individual tenants. Bamboo is a recurrent theme throughout the house, from the forecourt garden to the sand-blasted motifs within.
31 Blair Road is an innovative response to the constraints of conservation building, successfully marrying the old with the new to create a charming living space.
