Hollyford Sofa from Thonet


This is the classy Hollyford sofa from Thonet. My clients and I are looking at a pair of these for their Living Room and to cover in fabric rather than leather. Nice lines and so classic.
Photographs via Thonet.

New stuff.

H&M kann anscheinend Gedanken lesen
und hat einfach mal alles reduziert, was ich mir
sowieso kaufen wollte, wo mich jedoch zuvor
der Preis ein wenig von abgehalten hat.
Danke dafür, die Ausbeute seht ihr hier
(und dabei wollte ich vor London
eigentlich nicht mehr soviel shoppen...
najaaaaa, eine Ausnahme darf man ja machen
und London ist schließlich erst im August!)

Words, words, words (oh yeah, and Wine...)

A couple weeks ago I was asked to take part in a fundraiser called Wine & Words for my former theatre company. Wine and appetizers were served and local actors and local celebrities read excerpts of new works from Canadian writers and playwrights.
It was so stormy that night! The rain just wouldn't stop! But there was a great turnout nonetheless! That's Winnipegers for you! We'll go to work in a blizzard, a little rain won't stop us from going out either! haha!
It was a great evening! I had such a good time I brought my camera and forgot to take pictures. There were just too many familiar faces I hadn't seen in so long. I had a lot of catching up to do!
Anyway, luckly I have a friend who is always taking pictures. So he just sent me his the other day.

Here's part of the crowd enjoying one of the readers (can you spot me in the front row with my cream hat on?)


Here is me reading. (I took off my hat to read so people could see my face).


Once the night wound down, there were still opened bottles of wine to be finished off. Me and a few other stragglers helped with that chore. Then we were off to a friends house to continue with the festivities! I think we were singing a Beatles song at this point. Well I was laughing. Everyone else was singing.


I think this was taken at about 3am. So I figure I'm looking not so bad! haha! Actually I look pretty tired...


This is the closest thing to an outfit shot for the night. Minus purse and shoes. I really love the combination of greys, cream and nude.

Was schenkst du?

Jedes Jahr das Gleiche. Im Sommer stehen unglaublich
viele Geburtstage oder andere Feierlichkeiten an,
bei denen man natürlich nicht mit leeren Händen
dastehen will.Ich durchforste dann wochenlang die Läden,
auf der Suche nach dem perfekten Geschenk
und am Ende läuft es doch wieder auf das gleiche hinaus...
Jetzt habe ich aber eine wirklich coole Möglichkeit
entdeckt, etwas Außergewöhnliches zu schenken.
Auf Jollydays.de kann man besondere Erlebnisse verschenken.
Von Bodypainting bis zum Fallschirmsprung
gibt es dort wirklich alles in sehr verschiedenen Preiskategorien!
Besonders cool finde ich u.a. die Baumübernachtung, Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Inspiration - Tilty Barn by John Pawson

The minimal kitchen.

This is Tilty Barn in Essex, United Kingdom and the conversion was designed by John Pawson, a favourite architect of mine, in 1995.
I was using the kitchen as an inspiration for a job that I am working on, however, I had to share the rest of the house.

Outfits: Work Wear

I wore this to work today. As you can see it's pretty tame compared to the stuff I used to wear to Ricki's. My office is business casual, which is fine. And the office is too cold to wear a skirt and we are required to wear closed toe shoes. I'm still trying to figure out how to infuse a little vintage style into my work wear. So when I saw this blouse on a sale rake for $10 in a boutique this weekend I couldn't resist! (See? More blue!) I love the embroidery on it!

Isn't it adorable? It is the most lightweight cotton. Perfect for summer!



And as usual, Dave couldn't resist getting in a few of the shots. I think he just likes being included in my blog!
It's a good thing he's cute!

Lobster ravioli

After watching so much MasterChef I've come to realise that I am missing a lot of the basics when it comes to my cooking arsenal. I can make rice - and I know how to make pastry - but these guys are doing things like making pasta from scratch, or knowing exactly which herbs and spices are missing in a korma (I don't even think I can name 3 spices that go in a korma - let alone identify the taste of 5 missing ones.) In order to be a good cook, its important to know about the basics - like making pasta or rice.

So here we go - making pasta from scratch. I got some frozen lobster tail from the fish markets for the filling - you can't seem to find fresh live lobster like I can in ny. One of my clearesy early cooking memories is watching my dad chop up live lobster - he's chinese so he doesn't bother with the boiling it alive first. He just hacks it up to pieces and the grey matter inside the bits of shell twitch for awhile long after the thing's dead. Quite fascinating really - but probably not something I could stomach to do on my own - I'll get the frozen bits thank you.

Ingredients:

Pasta:
2 cups flour
3 eggs

Filling:
200 g cooked lobster meat shredded
200 g fresh ricotta
1 cup diced shallots
1 tbs sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:
150 g tomato paste
1/2 onion diced
100 mL cream
1 tbs dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Put flour and eggs in a food processor and pulse until combined. Scoop out dough and knead on the bench until it forms a tight smooth ball. Cover with glad wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. You can prepare the filling ingredients during this time.

Combine lobster, ricotta, shallots and oil in a large bowl and mix well. Set aside for stuffing the ravioli.

Roll out about 1/2 of your pasta dough to a 1.5 cm thick rectangle. Normally, to get the right thickness and consistency, you would pass this through a pasta maker a few times to flatten the dough. I, of course, do not own a pasta maker to I did my best with a rolling pin. Fold the ends up into the middle, turn 90 degrees and roll flat. Repeat about 6 times.

In the case for ravioli, the rolling pin can work because you can cut the dough into smaller pieces and rollit quite thin, essentially each raviolo piece out one at a time. You would definitely need a proper pasta maker for anything long, such as fettucine, linguine or lasagna sheets. Hang your pasta out to dry over the back of a chair or an aluminium covered clothes drying rack.

Extract the white of 1 egg to close your ravioli. Cut circles out of each piece of pasta and pile lobster filling in the middle. Brush the edges of each ravioli with egg wash and seal with fingers.

Boil a large saucepan of water to cook pasta. While you're waiting you can start making your sauce. Brown onion in a fry pan, add basil, tomato sauce and cream and about 100 mL of water. Let simmer to reduce sauce.

Cook your pasta in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. Serve imnmediately with sauce.

Inspiration - Soho Grand Hotel, New York.




Here is a classic vintage-style bathroom from New York hotel, Soho Grand.
This was sourced via Remodelista who have a 'steal this look' chapter on this bathroom. Check it out here for ways to copy this bathroom for yourself.
Interiors were designed by William Sofield and the cool wallpaper is by New Yorker magazine cartoonist, Saul Steinberg. A nice design collaboration - who would have thought of including a cartoonist into the mix.
