How about this for a bathroom floor??

finland home

Beautiful scandi, minimal and vintage mix home from Tintin in Finland. Not a huge space but i love the style, use of light and cosy simplicity, good storage too.

about time

I really LOVE vintage wall clocks, mainly variations on the starburst are my faves. Not allowing myself to buy anymore though as i already have about 4, no harm in admiring though.....
