These Things No.62

this is a home edition of These Things – a Home Things, if you will. at the moment my mind is quite preoccupied with making our place look nice. we live in a one bedroom flat in Sea Point, a suburb of Cape Town on the Atlantic seaboard – literally steps away from the promenade. this area has been having a revival of sorts lately, with new coffee places and restaurants popping up almost every day. and i can see us living here for a long time… as long as we never needed a bigger place (cough-kids-pets-cough).

i have some home improvements in mind that i am hoping to share soon (having our balcony room redone, for a start) but in the meantime i am always gathering inspiration from around the web. you know me… gathering, gathering.

first up, the new bedroom collection from Douglas and Bec. i love that round headboard… it’s scuh an old-school shape – but done in such a new, fresh way.

these blankets by BFGF are so great. i would want to just frame them and hang ’em on the wall:

very much into this shoot for Calypso St Barth shot by Dabito & styled by Justina Blakeney:

the FLIP shelf by Munk Collective. i like the pink one as a bedside table:

the Canyon series of ceramics by Red Raven Studios:

i love the Open Road Armchair – a collaboration between between furniture builder KKDW and leatherworker Canoe:

i love these two apartments styled by Minna Jones for a new development in Helsinki:

for residents of Cape Town (and beyond), Bofred is a cool new furniture shop:

the Levis x Pendleton blanket (i’ve always wanted a Pendleton blanket…)

speaking of blankets, i love these blanket throws by Dot and Bo:

love all these rugs from UO. top to bottom: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
