Apartment Affection #3
White! So fresh and cute.
A 69sqm apartment, perfect for a single person.... like me.
The prints are perfect.
I would need a bigger desk, but this will do for now...
Love the size of the bedroom, plenty of closet space and a full body mirror...
Smitten with this fireplace...
Kitchen big enough, though I may have to add an island...
Then I take my coffee and cake to the balcony...
If you look over you can see the cafe life...
Instead of drinking your filtered coffee you decide to run down the stairs for your proper mochaccino...
And there you are, amongst the cafe people..
Where you might ask??
Sweden.
And yes, its for sale.

And the clocks are part of the penthouse...
360 degree views
And don't forget to look up...
How much you wonder?
23 million.

Apartment Affection
My affections for apartments run deep and I delight living in the middle of the city. I lived in a hotel/apartment building for many years and I became enamored at the lifestyle that followed. I don't know what it is, the cafe/bar convenience on the first floor, the room service on the days when I was staying in (usually with a cold), the kept surroundings without lifting the broom... the warm hello at the entrance? Oh la la... I guess its time to go back to the city.
So, with this particular affection of mine I've decided to seek apartments throughout the world and share them with you here, once a week.
Lets start with Geometrix Design which held my interest and left me a little breathless...

Scarlett
If I don't see Scarlett around for a while I start looking for her. Suddenly I spot her and get closer.. quietly...
She is sound asleep, I shall not wake her. But she is so cuddly and cute... I go around..
And yes sound asleep on her tail, a little bit of her tooth showing.. oh she is adorable...
Oh sorry, darling, did I wake you?
And that's how I spend my days sometimes.

Well, I didn't know, Lagerfeld designing for Coke..... the Light one, was that on purpose??? (My preference is classical Coke, but nobody asked me)
The above is the ad for it on a bus stop in France.

Chilly chills
The weather is getting chilly and I'm reaching for my fluffy socks. Someone out there should start making sexy lingerie out of flannel, I'm sure its doable. However, for the outerwear these are just fine...

A Tree and a Chicken
Patrick Roger, French Chocolatier, has a real size chocolate Christmas Tree in his chocolate factory. Beautiful. I want one.
Click on the video for a nice walkabout inside his chocolate factory. Now I know how they wrap those single bites of chocolate.

And to ruffle your feathers, from 49 Euros, they can make great table center pieces. Why get everyone just an egg this Easter when you can get them a chicken?!
