Crazy Times...

Is there any other subject lately anywhere? The Coronavirus has been on the news for weeks but as it is spreading and thousands of new cases are coming in every day, life is drastically changing for everyone.

The world never felt this united, everyone is affected by it, everywhere people are talking about staying at home, social distancing and quarantine. The numbers are now growing at a very scary speed, while China seems to have it under control, Italy, the USA, Spain, and Germany are now in such growing numbers that health care systems might very possibly collapse.

Staying at home is just the only way to try to straighten the curve so that the health care system can manage the sick.  Being stuck at home for weeks especially in cities is kind of a jail experience, but it is a small sacrifice compared to what some people are selflessly enduring right now.

In that sense, we are very lucky. We are usually a lot at home as we work from home. We have a garden so if rules get stricter we still can go outside without seeing anyone. The doggies are great companion, and we create create create to keep our minds sane.

As our ateliers are in our new home but our home itself hasn't moved yet we are not in a perfect state. Money has run out and things are too crazy to finish our move now so we will just have to wait for things to calm down.

With even less time outside than usual, I made this lamp that took me an entire day till midnight and then some more hours the next day.

It originally was a crystal lamp but it was missing pieces. The crystals will come handy in other projects. I used vintage lucite leaves for this lamp. We bought these many years ago and who knows what we were planning with them because we bought tons of them and hardly used them.

I'm never alone at home :)

p.s. the mirror used to be a clock, a (plastic) copy of an old French type, it was a curb find in Amsterdam many years ago, I turned it into a mirror, always love to turn 'trash' into treasure. The clock part I used for another project.

So after many hours I absolutely love how this lamp turned out.

While the world is upside down it is good to put energy into positivity, creativity, and (fur) family to keep us sane.

I'd like to hear how you are spending your days during these crazy times? How are you feeling about what is happening?

Stay safe and healthy everyone, we are all in this together, the world is smaller than we thought after all.

The lamp is available at StarHomeStudio.

Get the Look Vol.6

It has been a few month since I posted a Get the Look post, and in the mean time a few inspiring pieces were added in our decor shop.
The picture above is of course very appealing to me with both a big map and a globe light, love the butterflies too. We have a few vintage maps in the shop and a globe light too!

What a way to welcome your guests, or to come home. Not everyone has the luxury of spacious hallways but I like it when there is more than just a pile of shoes to welcome you. A chandelier gives a luxurious vibe and of course is handy to see where you are going to. I think our vintage chandelier would look fabulous in a hallway, or any room for that matter :)

Macrame was so 1970's but it is back in a big way, and some are really huge and amazing.
While I like doing it I don't think I will be knotting curtains, it might drive me crazy/ier and we can't have that happening :)
So a smaller macrame project but with shells, of course.

 I love everything of this house, especially the mid century chairs (although white wouldn't be my choice) and the bronze bird statue. We have a very colorful mid century chair in the shop, and there is my driftwood bird statue, maybe not so elegant, but I like him, he has character :)
