I have already showed you the artist Lisa Grues studio, today I´m taking you to her home, that she shares with Denis and their son Mika.
I went there on a rainy but warm day. The GPS on my phone guided me through the streets of Copenhagen and had me stop in front of a grey door in the middle of the city. There was no buzzer so I called Lisa  on her phone, and she came to let me in.
It´s alway very exciting meeting people like this. We have usually never met before.  And Lisa and I talked about this on our way up the stairs to her home. I wont describe Lisa´s home in words, instead I want you to click an image to start the slideshow and see for yourselfs.

Just click any photos for a larger version and description. They are best view in full size.
And also check out Lisa´s site Underwerket here and her blog here don´t miss her shop here!

All photos by me, Jenny Brandt. If you do borrow them please link back.

After I photographed Lisa and Denis home Lisa took me to her studio. See it here!

So I promised some more pics from the X2 Resort and a lady keeps her promise!
Now we allready moved on to the island of Koh Phangan.
The internet is very slow but I will get back to you all soon with some longtail cowboys,
shacks on poles and rickety bridges.

But first the X2:

We stayed in a small garden villa. Big windows and big sliding glass doors.
I love big sliding doors. When inside and outside can become as one!

There is also a huge over the top villa with pool. I sneaked in and took some photo’s for you!
Big enough for two couples and outside swimmingpool and a tub.

Above the pool by night and the reception area.

To connect all the different villas there was a wooden landing between patches of green.

And a smaller pool villa – I sneaked in there too just to give you the feeling of it!

Hotel sheets are the best. (No Beppe is the best.) But hotel sheets makes the sleep such a bliss.
I want that at home as well! The well ironed and washed feeling of sheets.
Like the ones I have been saving since the 70′s. They are still the best.
When the cotton are on the final hour…

We have been staying at the X2 Resort in the island of Koh Samui in Thailand.
It’s part of Design Hotels and is an orgie of huge palm trees, wooden elements and lots of sweet concrete.
For me it brings back memories of Brazil. The arcitecture mixed with nature.
Here are some details that I really enjoy.
Tomorrow I think I will show you the bigger picture.

Detail from the shower which has a backlite- it creates a dramatic effect I think is stuning!

Imagine a house without windows or doors – just open space.
Growing up in Sweden that’s unthinkable.
I love the way that the legs of the tables in the restaurant bend in different ways.

Concrete jungle!

The curtains are all made of heavy linen. And about 30 cm to long. Loving it!

Even if the power is cut you can do it in style.

Sitting on the lo watching the bamboo garden. I wanna do this in the country place in Sweden.
No magazines are needed with a great view.

Around the pool there is a normal plastic drainage. Just smartly covered up with stones.

As if the pool wasn’t enough. A bath in plain air. And the vivid art the moist makes in the concrete.

It’s nice to stay at a place a bit more minimalistic than what I normally enjoy at home.
