At Bravo they have put their heart and soul into every unit, wall, and the resulting luxury and glamorous worktop end product.

Display collection based on a minimalist lines, smooth texture, glossy and matte surfaces, clean shapes and tones of black blocks, white, beige and gray.

High surface Cube is made of natural stone solid Samarcanda so they will be extremely durable and will still appear in top top condition much longer than the kitchen worktop is made from artificial materials.

Most children dream of a tree but house.Adults know the feeling of comfort which is why for most of it the idea of spending hours and hours in a wooden box "hung in a tree wood is not all that attractive. Here's where Bates Masi comes with it creatively tree-house equipped with all equipment and accessories a normal, land-applied "is home.

Eldigt och intressant

Det här hemmet såg jag för flera år sedan i någon av de svenska inredningsmagasinen. Kan inte minnas vilket, men bilden av den runda soffan har satt sig i minnet. Det är en inredning som håller än. Den är skarp och lyxigt avskalad men utan att för den skull vara tråkig som man så ofta ser, snarare är den eldig och intressant med sina orange toner. Lägg märke till hur snyggt det blir med ett mörkt golv i en så pass ljus lägenhet och hur häftigt det blir när man utgår från en tavla i färgsättningen. Bilder från fotograf Patric Johansson.

Melbourne, anyone?

Det här huset hittade jag via bloggen Desire to Inspire. Det är ett gammalt renoverat Victorianskt hus i närheten av Melboure i Australien. Huset är renoverat av ägaren som är arkitekt och enl försäljningsinfon andas huset europeisk 'grandeur'. Vilket man kan hålla med om, men det som jag tycker är speciellt med den här är att det är så många olika inredningsstilar, gammalt, nytt, natur, retro, 70-tal, 60-tal... ändå har man på något sätt lyckats få ihop helheten. Bilderna som här kommer i ett helt gäng, i sann Desire to Inspire anda, kommer från realestate.com.eu.

Badrum med bevarad känsla

Vackert 60-tals badrum med blågrön mosaik, putsade väggar och teakdetaljer. Kul att se att man har bevarat och förstärkt den ursprungliga arkitekturen istället för att renovera sönder. Bilder från ett reportage i Sköna Hem.

Stone Soup

One of our favorite things to make in the colder months is Stone Soup. I've always loved Marcia Brown's book, Stone Soup, & for years have been making real "stone soup"... first with with my little sister when she visited us (she's 15 years younger than me) and now with my toddler. Kids get such a kick out of reading the book and cooking along with it. (and you get labor for a fun meal!! :)




We pretty much use the ingredients from the book & then just add whatever vegetables we have around. ... It's all about using what's left in the fridge for us so we change the recipe up a lot depending upon what we have. (The recipe is for a large batch that will last you the week.) First we get out a big pot like they do in the book:



Then we add in 2 large cans of chicken broth. (This is the quickie way which we usually end up doing, but it's always a tad yummier when you do homemade broth.) Next comes "THE COOKING STONE." We just keep ours in the kitchen and it's literally just a big stone I found years ago. (We put it though the dishwasher & make sure it's clean of course before dumping it in to our food ;) This is usually the kids' favotite part so if you have more than 1 child, I'd suggest getting multiple stones so no one feels left out.



Then, get the pot to boiling & start with the salt & pepper just like in the book. Next come the sliced carrots & cabbage. (We never have cabbage around so I usually just cut up a little spinach or romaine or whatever we have so there's something to toss in on this page.) Then come the potatoes and beef ( which we usually substitute with pre-cooked chicken.)

Lately I've been adding yellow squash because it's in season (and so good!) and I always add in lots of fresh garlic. (Add in whatever veggies you can here!)


Next the book calls for barley and some milk. We never have barley either, so we use pre-cooked rice (add as much or as little as you like depending upon how thick you want it.) and then add in a 1/2 cup- cup of milk or so..

We've got some rosemary growing in the kitchen & lately I've been tossing a little of that in too... I almost always top with fresh chopped basil & some shredded parmesan cheese. mm mmm goodness!!!



Christian loves his "tiny bowl" and usually has 2-3 bowls at a time of his "special stone soup."



It's so great to see your kid chowing down on such a healthy meal asking for more carrots & yellow squash. He's so much more into the vegetables when they come in his "special soup" than when we serve them normally.



Like I've said before, I love having a weekly batch of soup around for lunches & meals... It's so nice not to have to think sometimes and to have a quick & easy meal ready... all you have to do is microwave it. Anyway, since I had this recipe post waiting, it was the perfect time to join Rhoda of Southern Hospitality's RECIPE PARTY!!! There are already so many great ones up there so go check it out here: http://southernhospitalityblog.com/recipe-exchange-pasta-allamatriciana/




Hope you enjoyed!!
