On A White Cloud

What's better than spending your Sunday morning lounging on this comfy chair with your paper? The design of this slick Spinnaker chair, inspired by the marine world, reflects the beautiful curves of the cruising spinnaker sail — hence its name.

Leisurely stunning

For me Sundays are about kicking back, relaxing and enjoying a good read with a nice cup of joe on hand. Well, I think I found the perfect magazine for you to read. At Your Leisure is a labor of love project from j3 Productions. This magazine — or ”zine” as they rather call it — it's their version of those old handmade independent publications from the 80's and 90s we used to love. Their mission is just to inspire, pay homage to those that inspire us, and also showcase those individuals that live what they love and the creative spaces they call home.

Into the woods

If you're adventurous at heart and always wanted to know what it feels like to sleep in the middle of the woods, now you can head to Sweden's boreal forest and stay at the magical Treehotel. Inspired by the film documentary “Trädälskaren” (Treelover) by Jonas Selberg Augustsen, the seven room-size structures are if nothing works of art. They were built and are run daily with ecological values in mind. The Bird's Nest, one of my favorites, plays with the contrast of a rough exterior and a very slick modern interior. And if you're wondering, people can access it through a retractable staircase.

Whatever your style is, I'm sure there's one out there for you. Happy Sunday!

Step out!

Woke up this morning and when I stepped out to take my Frenchie out for his early walk the cool breeze made me realize that summer days are almost gone. So my friends, go out an enjoy the rest of the warmer days. Fall is almost here. Happy Sunday!
