Mazzo Restaurant

Greetings design lovers!

I found some amazing pictures of a famous restaurant in Amsterdam called "Mazzo".

The interior of this restaurant has an industrial look to it, and I love the contrast of the bright lights - it reminds me of a New York Broadway flair. It almost has a "rough" looking appearance but the pictures of people eating and the small pops of red create a warmth to the space and make it very inviting! And apparently the food is fantastic - which is a bonus as well!

You can check out Mazzo's website by clicking here. The restaurant was designed by a company based in Amersterdam called "Concrete" - you can check out their website here and see what other projects they have done! They're quite impressive!


Enjoy the photos!

Unique Bookshelves!

You can find some pretty awesome looking bookcases out there. I happened to come across a few for you all to see! The bookcases I have posted below are quite diverse, but I think they give perfect examples of how much creativity can come from such a simple concept - holding books! I hope you enjoy what you see!

String Gardens

I came across this really unique idea and had to share it with you gardeners/plant lovers out there...


These plant arrangements are called String Plants - this concept was developed by Fedor van der Falk, who was influenced by the Japanese botanic hanging gardens, which are made to look as though there is no gravity holding the plants down.



Check out the rest of these really cool pictures!

Light Up Your Summer Nights!

In honour of the summer nights that will (hopefully) be gracing us with their presence very soon, I wanted to show you all some great ways of lighting up your back gardens for all those deck parties you're going to be having! Or for the nights when you just want to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

I think outdoor fireplaces are so great. They bring a beautiful natural light to any area and for the more chilly evenings, they bring some heat as well! They're also perfect so the nights when you're a tad hungry and want to make some s'mores!

 I absolutely love these globe lights. They're not just used for lighting pools - you can use them anywhere...tree lights, table lights, deck lights - whatever you want! What makes them extra awesome is that now they are available in solar power. They're also available in different sizes and colours!

 I had never seen a outdoor lamp like this before so I had to add it to the light collection! It gives a very modern flare to any outdoor environment.

You can find these globe laterns anywhere! And they're so beautiful if you hang them outside and spread them out around your garden!

These umbrella lights are a pretty neat idea. They direct the light source to one main area, which is perfect if you're outsides having some drinks and relaxing!

I have an addiction to twinkle lights. It's fine. I deal with it...and it's not like I hide it or anything. I've talked about it a bunch of times before and everybody knows about it, so that's just how it is. There will always be millions of twinkle lights in my life and I'm totally fine with that.

Twinkle lights are amazing for all seasons and they fit in beautifully everywhere. They bring a breathtaking magical atmosphere to anywhere you place them and I absolutely love that. I thought the mason jar idea was super cool so if you love twinkle lights like I do, you should definitely try that one out!
