Circle LoVe + Breakfast for LuNcH

 "what is life but a circle?"

 "the circle of life"

 and such expressions are heard quite often,

 aren't they?

 I won't examine whether they are true or not,

 even though I can totally resonate with them... 

  I'll just share my

 love for geometric shapes

{especially circles ~> check here!}

 & 

 show you how to incorporate them 

 in every day decor and objects,

 using as an example this shot

 snapped this morning 

 from our gallery above

{our current home has a loft character,

therefore the space is open,

just for the record cause there are often

inquiring mails about whether I climb

on a ladder to take such shots!}

Circles and Curves easily bring movement

and a sense of softness, calm & tranquility

in our environments

while pairing them with clean, straight lines

and other shapes like squares & rectangles

creates a balanced feeling

... add some texture by natural materials such as

bamboo & jute

and voila!

your space gains some interest and character

even when few colors are used

in the picture above, you can peek into:

 Ivy blanket, consisting of different sizes of crochet circles,

{source & details here}

 fresh flowers brought home the other day,

the new basket made of white plastic,

 which gives shelter to bread in the mornings {and not only!},

my favorite bamboo trays

&

 a darling of a paper box,

which carried mostly delicious pieces of {almond pie}

from Kaffeemacherei,

where btw you can have an encounter

with my {paper boat garlands},

exclusively made for the cafe's "vip corner",

while you enjoy being there...

... so, the morning here was literally spent

chasing all the sun rays that shine in our space,

{since 7:30 am.... completely forgot about sleeping in with such glorious weather!}

in my effort to capture as many pretty moments as possible 

before we move...

the {clarity of the blue sky as seen here} is something really worth of mentioning

these days, as honestly, it is rather unusual that such

gorgeous sunny days occur here in autumn

pure bliss...

have a delightful Saturday & happy October everyone!

 ~ ~ ~

... and because this post was written in the morning

and still has remained unpublished till now, 

 here are a few shots from our breakfast for lunch

the dining table has moved again to the living area

in front of the big window,

as both styling & photographing work

for a client's project take place there,

and we simply love sunbathing

while dining... well, at home.

now where did I put my sunglasses?
