the delicate tale of Meyer-Lavigne

As you might remember I was doing some work for the Danish design collective Meyer-Lavigne in the early summer months. I was writing an essay about the designers and their work for their new website along with a number of short introductory texts. It was such a pleasure to work with these two talented women and to get a peek into their playful and whimsical universe as well as their design related processes. Today their new website is online - and I like what I see.

Below is a couple of their new dream savers - Kawaii and Panda.

Here's a little extract from the website about the dream savers: "Dream Saver aims to make us want to save up for our most dearly held dreams. The saving boxes are of the old-fashioned kind: They only have one opening for putting money in - and for extracting it. Thus, it takes some effort to get the money out, just as it often takes an effort to achieve one's dreams and goals."

Mintstudio did the design of the beautiful website.

bathroom update

Sometimes I forget what I already did a post about. Well, this is our new bathroom - and I dont' think I have posted this much from it previously. On the other hand it doesn't matter that much - because I like this room so much and there is a really nice light in there. As you see in the photos we are very slow in finishing details - like hooks and little shelves and cabinets. But it functions, and we like it.

Maybe you recall that we had a lot of considerations about the floor - but after wathching Amour (and I hopelessly fell in love with that huge, beautiful and run-down Parisian apartment and the tiles in the hallway, kitchen etc.), we ended up with these classic and simple tiles in black&white.

*sisters*

look at the two of them - can't hardly believe all the changes that have taken place in just a little more than a year.

take a deep breath

We have passed another period of illness with Molly, and she has been giving me good company at home. Not that I'm not glad to have her around and observe all her little doings but it seems as if she has been ill on-off with colds, coughing and difficult breathing ever since we came home from our summer vacation. Nothing serious but enough to disturb her sleep (as well as ours) and to make her unwell and without energy, and I remember it was the same last winter. So after some considerations back and forth we finally decided to bring her to the doctor this weekend as she had a very difficult time breathing, and as expected we came home with a bag of asthma medication. It came as no surprise to us since both girls have allergies. I can't say that I'm relieved but the medicine has already helped her, and she has had two good nights of sleep, and has started talking and experimenting with words again. I keep my fingers crossed for a good period.

Photos are from the other day where she snapped Frida Viola's pink dog and didn't let go of it for the entire day.

By the way, as you might already have noticed I finally started pinning! I signed up ages ago but really didn't get into it - but then a little while ago I got caught and just as all others of you who are pinning I can only agree that it is quite addictive. Follow me at finurlignet - and do share your own or your favourite pinterest boards with me!
