I’m too busy taking care of other business right now so blogging has sunk a few spots on my list of priorities, sadly. But my eyes always wander all over the net looking for wonderful stuff, so let me just give you a mini-report for now. I will be back very soon with some reviews on recent cd releases and some other cool things.

Trailer for ‘A Single Man’
You know those ads for designer clothes and perfumes, those that look so very stylishly theatrical? Well this is a movie trailer that looks like an ad that looks theatrical! No wonder really, considering that the movie is directed by Tom Ford, of all people.

Liu Bolin – ‘Transparency’ artist
I found this amazing artist’s pictures through V1kram‘s blog. Yes, it’s painted!

Sondre Lerche – pictures by Isabell N. Wedin
Sondre kindly mentioned photographer Isabell N. Wedin on Twitter in regard to the new pictures used for his latest recording, ‘Heartbeat Radio’. I’m planning a little review later on.

Etsy shop: Elizabeth Wren Vintage
Ever since I started watching Mad Men and long before that show even started I developed an uncontrollable desire for 60s items. In those days there was such an incredible mix of quality products and pure, pure kitsch. But both very easy on the eye! Elizabeth Wren dug up some interesting vintage items.

If you think of a great place to live wouldn’t an all-American bungalow, including a porch and the works, be on your list? It’s on mine for sure!

Jessica and Erik from Portland, Oregon bought a 1920s bungalow earlier this year and have been renovating for a fair few months. What’s interesting is that their keen eye for vintage details helped them draw a line between what needed to be stripped, fixed or preserved. This resulted in a very delicate balance between the old and the new, blending the two seamlessly together and making for a warm and welcome home. Here are a few before and after pictures:

Check out Jessica’s blog, more before and after pictures and other loveliness on Jessica and Erik’s Flickr account.

What a relief, I can finally drop some Etsy love on everyone again! It seems that autumn has already set in around Europe, so this inspired me to look for those few items that could make the transition a little easier.
