Indoor Garden Living | (4)
Since I live in a flat in the city and no longer with my mum at the country I notice, how much I miss my own garden. Okay, I'm not really the kind of person who can’t live without gardening, but I feel more comfortable with a little green around me. The best solution is to arrange a small indoor garden! And with the help of those items from Impressionen I'm sure it will look great even before the flowers are growing ;) Link: { Impressionen }

Hausna*Art Art/Design, Living | (2)
In the art section of the "Wohnen&Interieur" exhibition I found some objects from a young Austrian who turns everyday objects into convenient seating furniture. I think nobody of us has used a dustbin like this before: Above all, the artist Markus Gamsjäger, works with metal and wood, but not exclusively: For more information visit Hausna*Art!

I'm thankful for every recycling tip I can get, because I think I might have not enough magazines for a whole wall (yet)! :) Link: {Oktavilla | via Stylefrizz}

My friends all have different opinions on cuckoo clocks. Some think they are old and boring and some love them because they think they are so romantic. To be honest I like the concept of the bird and the clock, but I don't like the country style of the ones made out of wood. Some people might have thought the same because I found some new, and pretty unusual variations: for example clocks made of paper (1,2)! How do you feel about cuckoo clocks?

Wohnen auf kleinstem Raum Living | (3)
In den 20er Jahren hat der Wiener Architekt Anton Brenner einen Gemeindebau im 15. Bezirk entworfen, den er selbst als "Wohnmaschine" bezeichnet hat. Dieser Ausdruck erlangt Gültigkeit, wenn man sich ansieht, wie die Vierköpfige Familie Brenner damals auf 38m² gewohnt hat: Die Betten konnten aufgeklappt werden, damit tagsüber genug Platz im Wohnzimmer war. Die Trennwände zum Schlafzimmer waren nicht nur starrer Beton, sondern wurden als Kleiderschränke benutzt. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Einbauküche, die so ausgeklügelt war, dass man selbst auf 4m² genug Platz zum Kochen hatte. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Idee, dass die Türen der Küchenkästchen auch als Tür für ...
