Sometimes I wonder if I may have been hanging around in this craft & design community for too long... Like when I see something beautiful but can't remember if I see it for the very first time or already have seen it everywhere in magazines and on blogs. Or when I look at some beautiful images in my huge and ever-expanding image folder and have no idea if I've already posted them once or only have visualized posting them (yes, some sort of 'already posted' file would be practical in this case!). And then I wonder if when I, as the blog writer, already don't remember whether I've posted certain images or not, then who else will? Could I just start posting things from my archives without anyone noticing? And yes, then sometimes I get a little cynical about this huge image overload that we're pumping around the blogosphere on a daily basis, and about our search for new and original things while sometimes we don't even know anymore whether something is fresh and original to us or stuff that can already be found in our own archives... (and when I say 'we', of course in the first place I mean 'me')
But I guess I'm still more an enthusiast than a cynic, so I'll post these inspiring photos that caught my eye today in my inspiration folder anyway. Feel free to let me know if I've posted any of them already before! (and you get bonus points when you can tell me in which post exactly... ;))
I always love the look of those vintage brown leather sofa's like the one above in a further modern and minimalist home (I know this one is a well-known vintage design, but I forgot who made it), but I'm not sure I would feel very comfortable having a leather sofa like this in my home. Strange, cause I'm not a vegan and not even a vegetarian, but somehow this feels too much 'animal' to me, no matter how much I like the look. I never consciously decided to, but somehow so far I've always chosen fabric-covered sofas and chairs for my home. So though I'm absolutely not dogmatic when it comes to leather furniture (I think if you wear it you can also sit on it), somehow I often don't find myself drawn to it. Probably one of those subconscious things...
