Meet My Happy Sponsor: Freundts

For quite a while we have seen the trend of using vintage letters - sometimes illuminated ones - in interior decoration. Now finding a really cool vintage letter can be a tricky task - you need to visit lots of flea markets, vintage stores or surf the web for hours. And even once you've decided to settle for a new made letter instead of a vintage version, you often end up finding super expensive examples. In this is where my new happy sponsor Freundts comes into play.

Founded in 2005 by Sabine and Yves Freundt, the Hamburg based online store has gained quite a reputation as an ideal source for vintage and new letters, vintage rarities, kitchen accessories and more. Up to now Freundts is the online store with the most extensive range of letters for interior decoration I have found so far. You can find every letter in various sizes, colours and shapes, illuminated and non-illuminated, vintage and new. Moreover, you will find pretty signs like the famous ampersand, stars and entire words. But their range encompasses more vintage finds and other kitchen utensils. A real treasury!

Whether you decide to hang one of those pieces, lean them against your wall or style them on a console or shelf - the vintage touch of every piece is exceptionally cool and true eye-catcher. My favorite pieces are the bright blue and yellow letters and words like the blue "Co"-sign. 

What do you think of vintage letters in interior decoration? Do you have vintage letters at home? I have a small vintage wooden G but I think I need another letter from Freundts!

Oh, and just so you know: Freundts sells internationally and if you want to know and see more check out their website and their Facebook site.

Happy decorating & happy weekend!

5 Happy Inspirations: One Must Dash!

Today I would like to introduce you to my latest 'Happy Sponsor' - One Must Dash! The funky online shop for art prints and more home accessories is the concoction of two happy Swedish girls who share a passion for the same kind of humour and interior design. And their great humour shines through from start to end - even the name 'One Must Dash' sound like 'One Moustache' and thus a few products play with the hipster symbol of moustaches.

Their funky world is marked by a Scandinavian mix of white, black and grey hues and make bold statements - be it a graphic pattern or a funny quote. So do you still have that blank area on your wall that would need some embellishment? Why not checking out the funky and witty selection over at 'One Must Dash'? I've compiled my five favorites here. Which ones do you like?

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Happy Sponsor: Home Accessories by milanari.com

Today it's time to present you one of my very new 'Happy Sponsors', the German online shop milanari.com with a beautiful selection of furniture and home accessories. milanari.com is pretty new on the German market and covers a wide array of interior styles: from vintage pieces, over colourful accessories to modern furniture. The two charming ladies and owners, Jutta Syben and Nicole Mahnel, founded milanari.com in Munich and what I love is that their passion for furniture and home accessories shines through - they pick every piece by themselves and thus create a personal marketplace for happy homes, don't you agree?

For this blog post I've compiled some of my favorite finds from milanari.com and grouped them into 'interior personality' boards - being a guy I've opted for a 'masculine' typology, but of course this applies to all you beautiful ladies out there, too!

I am the kind of guy that easily gets lost in online shops with home accessories. I browse, get inspired and eventually I discover something new and beautiful that I want for my happy home. So let's do a little guessing game, shall we?

Here is the little guessing game: One of the above depicted home goodies from milanari.com is now in my home. But which one? What do you think? I am curious to see who knows me that well by now to guess right!
