Woody Allen's apartment NCY 1972

Living room, and part of the large rooftop country garden.

"In a typical seriocomic aside, he once told The New Yorker, 'I think I can say, though this is not for publication, that I have the most beautiful apartment in New York' ."

From Architectural Digest, Nov/Dec 1972.

I Love Recycling design!

Here's some of my favorites:

Victoria Ladefoged

Dolls made of old fruit boxes

HEAT NASH

Coat rack made from thelephonewires!

Fixture created by lighting designer Heath Nash from remnants of plastic bottles.

Heath Nash makes cool things. By using the right materials and knowledge – wire and plastic – combined with typically South African skills and contemporary design, he makes ‘other people’s rubbish’ into beautiful and functional art. I discovered his work at Design Indaba in 2006

CH Birdlamp Table

I found these lamps yesterday at ESKE and I really like Matheiu Challieres design!

 I love the Zebra Finch bird and my mother used to have 14 of them!

(It was after I moved from home... and maybe that’s the reason why I still love them...they can be quite noisy...)

Valentine's Day

collage GMH 2011

To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,

All in the morning betime,

And I a maid at your window,

To be your Valentine.

Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,

And dupp'd the chamber-door;

Let in the maid, that out a maid

Never departed more.

—William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5

Happy Valentines Day!

Sunny Sunday

Shopping day!-Kitchen lamps from MUUTO and door handles from MILLA Boutique

Today we found exactly what we was looking for! At House of Oslo, Milla Boutique (I love that shop!), Illumms and at the great shop for door handles R. Bergersen AS. So now we are getting a few steps closer to end the mayor kitchen makeover! Three black E27 MUUTO lamps will fit perfect to the light almond pistasj-green doors and two black MUUTO UNFOLD pendant lamps will lighten up upstairs in the office area... I am SO looking forward to live in a normal and “new” house soon!!
