A lot of people ask me if my scandinavian background ever can be spotted in my work?
I do believe that the answer is yes.
I tent to like things very simple, clean, but never perfect.
Perfect is boring.
This is a table setting I did for a book.
Very simple with tea towels as napkins, a simple linen runner and flowers I found in the garden where we worked.
It does not always have to be so complicated.
I will leave you with that and wishing you all a fab weekend.

Accolades!

simply perfect!!!!

I really like the idea of picking simple flowers or things that are around. Not always plan and look for perfectness. I feel more satisfied of myself if there's a bit of improvisation... thank you Sweet Paul!
