soft light




i like the light in most of the rooms in this house. in the bedroom there are three small windows, but there's always a soft light mornings and afternoons.

but my favorite is the living room. the light through the big corner windows pouring in from noon till the day ends. it's magic. from the harsh midday sun to the soft afternoon light and then - as the grand finale - the golden light of the sunset with a view to deep red sky or purple and yellow clouds.

-----------------------------

i bought the pale pink dress in tlv this week when i decided to forget my concerns for a moment and went to have brunch with D. i really like the color and the lightness, but i wasn't sure if i could wear it, though, unless i worked up a serious tan. today i put it on and i think it worked just fine. anyway, if i am not wearing it it will look nice right there in the light.

the candle holder is ikea. i love it, the simplicity, the shape, but it's not really season for candles here. in fact i think a candle standing there in the sun a full afternoon would melt. i once had an entire box of 50 white candles from ikea melt into one big block after i left it in a sunny corner of my previous living room.

have a beautiful weekend, my friends :)

ps: to those of you who read my posts earlier in the week i would once again thank you so much for your feedback. things have calmed down and so has my mind. i will keep you posted.

  7. light is so important. we have too small windows in this house. one of the reasons i don't feel completely at ease here.i can't stay away from the candles. at night, when at least here it is still a tiny bit chilly, a light a few. the dress is pretty.
    have a lovely weekend.

  11. I love love that candle holder. I've got one in black and I bought a white one for my brother. And the light, at dinnertime the sun shines through our kithen window. I stand there chopping onions, cooking. It's magical. And also, what a great thing to appreciate the smallest.
