The design options displayed in this kitchen include a magnificent industrial stove which surprisingly doesn't seem out of place in a room whose robin's-egg blue and eggshell white coloring give the whole space a delicate, feathery weightlessness. Observe how naturally the size and bulk of a stainless-steel commercial stove fits right in, suggesting that the sheer bulk of large appliances need not limit the design concepts used.
This lamp belonged to my grandparents. I don’t know a whole lot about it other than that they bought it in the 1970’s and it was very expensive.
One of our cats knocked it over and broke it into about a million pieces.
My grandma was a neat lady. And she never would have thrown in the towel, or thrown away such a nice lamp over such a minor detail as it shattering into thousands of tiny bits of sharp pottery.
Grandma was an admirer of the concept of Kintsugi, and she passed that appreciation down to me.
The idea that the things we go through and the scars we collect are part of the story and beauty of it all is comforting - especially in an ever-more airbrushed world.
I am not skilled in traditional Kintsugi. But I’m happy with my personal interpretation, and I think Grandma would be too.
I kind of want to make it an ornate fringed lampshade, too … what shape though? 👀
