From Place To Space: Cape Cod


By now, I hope many of you got used to our little inspirational trips on Mondays. To keep the tradition, let's buckle up and head off to a new destination where we'll discover nature, sights, food and interiors. Today we are visiting one of the most beautiful corners of the United States - Cape Cod. I spent beautiful, sunny autumn days in Cape Cod. Staying in a local cottage satisfied all my cravings for coastal interior design and decoration. Blue hues, handmade quilts, cushions with local toponyms, stripes, wood as dominating material and a very relaxed and laid-back lifestyle made this vacation unforgettable. 


Traditional clam chowder, bike rides in beautiful nature, long beach walks and sunbathing plus a vibrant nightlife combined with beautiful coastal New England homes left such a good impression on me - and I am sure I'll be back one day. 

Have you been to Cape Cod? If so, did you like it and what left a strong impression on you? Happy new week, friends!

5 Happy Inspirations: For Little Sailors


I guess everybody knows the magic story of Peter Pan. The story of a mischievous little boy that never ages. Sometimes, I admit, I am a Peter Pan myself. A boy within who wants to fly and sail away. And truth be told, being a child within is essential - to keep us open-minded, to embrace the world and remember the simple things that used to bring so much joy and happiness in our childhood. What were/are you? I was and still am a little sailor. Sailing the world, inhaling the salty sea breeze, and feeling the unlimited freedom of the seas. Well, living close to the Alps requires enough fantasy and some little tricks and tweaks to bring the coastal feeling into my home. But that's where home decoration comes in handy, right? So, here are five happy coastal inspirations to sail the seven seas right there, in your home!

1. Sailor + Regatta Navy Duvet by Unison - ideal to dream of nautical adventures.

2. This worn sideboard by Kare Design looks like Captain Cook's booze storage.

3. The bathmat by H&M Home adds a coastal feel to any bathroom.

4. West Elm's geometric vase collection is perfect to highlight a little beach inspired corner in your home.

5. Ahoy there sailor! Anything to add? The perfect tea towel by Unique Boutique for little sailors.
