Ewa of Gdynia, Poland owns the cutest little bar/bistro called Kropka and sent us some photos. More proof that the Polish design scene is not dead! I just love every tiny inch of this place – the colour scheme of black and white with yellow accents, walls of pegboard, Scandinavian-esque furniture outside. I would absolutely stop here for a sandwich. 🙂

And a couple of money shots 😉

Can’t get by without it and there is nowhere better to feed my addiction than a hip hole in the wall. Coffee and a dose of cool. Nice Day, a 7 sqm down a laneway in Auckland’s CBD by Material Creative.

OK. OK. It’s a produce store, coffee stop, sandwich purveyor (sister store to Pope Joan) and not a domestic interior but look at it. It’s yellow. I’m still on my colour campaign as you can see. Besides I’ve always had a fantasy about living in a coffee shop. All that caffeine on hand! Hams and Bacon by Figureground.

Time to take some inspiration from our favourite Finnish interior architect Joanna Laajisto and one of her latest projects, Story, in the Old Market Hall, Helsinki. There are so many ideas to steal from this space. Love the lighting including the old fish trap installation, the colour combinations, the paint with trim finishing part way up the wall, the vertical herringbone tile and the brass kick plate to pick up on a few. As much as the photos really, really make me want to try a meal at Story, they make me start rethinking my kitchen even more.

Heading out for some well deserved Friday night drinks. The hair comes down and the heels go up. Just because it’s time to party after a hard week at work doesn’t mean the design inspiration has to stop. There are plenty of ideas to steal from Singapore based The Stripe Collective‘s redesign and rebranding of Oxwell & Co. Striped back to the bare bones interiors, split treatments on the floors, Victoriana chic and a dash of quirk. Join me for drinks?
