David Mallet is a famous name in Paris. Not only in Paris. Many Hollywood stars are using the services of David. Davis is a hair dresser. But no just a regular one. David Mallett is widely considered to be the best hairdresser in Paris; and, to his clients, he is the most trusted. 

His creative vision and technical innovation have contributed to some of the most iconic images in fashion advertising in the past two decades.

Interior designer: Ruth Káradóttirs - Island

Today I would like to tell you about an Island designer - Ruth Káradóttirs. Her interiors are inspired by Island nature. White an more white. 

I have found an article telling about the work and inspiration of Ruth. I love to read what inspired an artist. What makes him think of certain things and where do they get their inspiration from.

The house from 1968 is located in Breidholt which is one of the oldest suburbs to Rejkavik. White is the continuous color choice, only broken here and there by a little gray-brown elements like wood and concrete floors and wooden terrace outside.

 I prefer the natural materials and blends like the raw materials with more elegant says Ruth. Nature's own materials tend to only become more beautiful with age. And so do I like nature's own color scale set by the multifaceted nature of the picture here on the Island, from the snow into the lava, the hot springs and mountains.

- The light is very important to create the right atmosphere and it is one of the most important I try to create even for my clients, explains Ruth. Since we live so far north of here on the Island, we are fortunate with a lot of light, especially in summer when it is bright around the clock. But in winter it is only about six to seven hours a day and these conditions are important to take into account when building and planning their home here

Hotel suggestion: The Greenwich Hotel in NY

Today I came across this very interesting place. And you would not believe if i say this is hotel! And not just somewhere, but in New York!

I must say I find this atmosphere so magical, almost like form a fantasy movie!

The hotel in located in Greenwich street in NY.  If I see it correct it not too far away from WTC area. So, quite close to the sea area. 

i must say if I once make my dream come true and go to NY, I will definitely consider spending couple of nights here, even though you should be prepared to spend couple of hundred (say almost thousand) of dollars per night. 

But for the price you get a unique interior, warm atmosphere and no room looks alike.

Discover yourself the magical world of The Greenwich Hotel in NY

Spotted: cool shelving idea

Today I have seen a really cool and creative idea for your shelves. For example for your spices?

Just take a chalc paint, attach the shelves in the same color to the wall and display eye-catching items :)

So easy, but so great!!!

House for sale: Amsterdam apartment Scandinavian style

If you see this house you would think it came out of a interior design magazine. 

But it is just a house for sale in Amsterdam. I adore the taste of these people. I guess they are involved in interior industry, as you really have to know what you are doing to be able to put this together. 

Using the most beautiful designs of the last years to create the clean, beautiful lines like that. 

I love every single part of this apartment. 

I believe  the price was something like 450.000,- euro. 

LOVE!
