Wartburg castle overlooking Eisenach

The castle on top of Eisenach town was a place I wanted to visit for some time. While you could go very close to the top by car, it was nice that we accidentally walked through a steep hill in a forest to get to the top. The mere imagination of waking up to the perfect view in a bedroom here was fantastic.

But of course the highlight of the castle tour, which came unexpectedly at the very end, was the room where Martin Luther stayed in 1521-1522 when he translated the bible. I of course tried to breath in the same air as much as possible.

Baby furniture

I always wondered how one can manage to decorate a room while accommodating baby stuff. I would like to think it's not as challenging as I thought, if you try to buy wooden stuff with bright colors that are not pastel (Japanese favorite). Happy to find red and orange to be a neutral color between the adult stuff and baby stuff and across differing cultures.

 

Potential next purchase to-be sofa

Carl Malmsten's exhibit

 

There is an exhibit for designer Carl Malmsten at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde. His furnitures are seen everywhere in Sweden, in households, department stores, and even extravegant offices. I particularly liked this drawer which said was inspired by Chinese cabinets. It balances nicely in a toned down old school living room.

 

 

Carl Malmson also designed many other things such as typewriters and bags today (I just realized the Sandqvist bag lying on the ground next to me is by him too). He also has a school of woodwork where aspring young Swedes and others are making beautiful woodwork. He also founded a guitar making school. It's incredibly nice to see artisan work being succeeded to the next generation.
