The Swedish design studio Form Us With Love designed the Ogle pendant lamp already ten years ago. Produced by Ateljé Lyktan and launched in 2010, the lamp has sold in thousands ever since. I can totally understand why - this has been one of my favourite lamps for years.

Obviously, the Ogle Mini goes directly up on my wishlist :) Le studio créatif suédois...

If you haven't had enough of brass yet (I haven't!), here's a nice and simple idea for making your own bed headboard. Choose a large brass sheet that is slightly wider than the bed, then match with trendy muted pastels (like the green shade on the wall here) and soft textiles in linen and wool to add warmth. See more pictures here. Si vous en avez pas encore assez du laiton (moi non!), voici une idée simple pour fabriquer une jolie tête-de-lit. On choisit une grande tôle en laiton un peu plus large que le lit, puis on...
