Living with nature

Although I have many more spring and easter interiors in my waiting list for posting,

I could not resist sharing these pictures with you as soon as I discovered them.

Laurie Owen is a south african designer who uses natural materials

to create peaceful interiors.

Some nature inspired findings to create the look, all from La Redoute:

Heaven

Cherry blossom season

This picture feels like I'm dead and gone to heaven...

It reminds me of Kavafis' poem,

"Eternity":

Do not be deluded by words.
No life is taken. Know that no one was ever born,
nor does anyone die.

Με λέξεις μη γελιέσαι. Καμιά ζωή δεν παίρνεται.

Γνώριζε πως ποτέ του μήτε γεννήθηκε κανείς,

μήτε κανείς πεθαίνει.

Sleeping beauty

...γλυκά θα κοιμηθούμε σαν παιδάκια που όλη τη μέρα εκλάψαν και αποστάσαν.

Αυτή η υπέροχη φωτογραφία φέρνει στο νου στίχους από τον "Ύπνο" του Καρυωτάκη.

Spring's first day

Ρόδο άλικο του ανέμου και της μοίρας,

μόνο στη μνήμη απόμεινε, ένας βαρύς ρυθμός,

ρόδο της νύχτας πέρασες, τρικύμισμα πορφύρας

τρικύμισμα της θάλασσας...

Ο κόσμος είναι απλός.

Les iles de l'enfance

Dorment sur l'eau du Temps,

On ne saurait y revenir

Qu'avec des pas d'enfant.
