Bug Infestation

This is the only kind I would ever want. Found at a clothing boutique, Ivana Helsinki.

Loafing Cafe, London

I love the design, and the name, of this cafe in Victoria Park, London. You can see more photographs here.

What I love most is that the materials are, for the most part, reclaimed. It's a rustic sort of space but the chandelier and the white walls and brick keep it from looking like a barn.

Hotel de la Sorbonne

I found love the liberal use of color and pattern in the Hotel de la Sorbonne in Paris and I wanted to take time from my crazy schedule to put up some photos.  I think the pictures do the hotel more justice than any words I would write about them so I will let the images speak for themselves.

The Lobby

The Breakfast Room

The Guestroom Corridors

Their guestrooms are named by color.

Sunshine Lucy's

Sunshine Lucy's popped up near Davis Square some time last year when I wasn't paying attention.  I was walking to work last spring and I first noticed it.

The furniture is more expensive than your typical entry level furniture, IKEA and the like - but it's real wood so it will hopefully last longer.  Last week, when I was on an emergency coffee run to Davis Square I spotted these - there were nailheads everywhere.

 

I don't have any experience purchasing anything here so I can't vouch for them but they seem to be worth considering.

Happy Photos for Monday Morning

From an exhibit at a local art museum.

Brightly colored chairs, sparkly bags on a dizzy wall.  I have no idea who it was or the reasoning behind it but it did make me happy while I had my coffee.
