Quote for the weekend

“You can’t calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.”

your Coffee shop outfit + Coffee table decor

• Like what you see in the photo? For a similar style, check out unique ethical clothing from this brand.
• Have you heard about the famous “Japandi” trend? It’s a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian design aesthetics and you can bring it home:
  • For Japanese vibes, we recommend vases like this porcelain one (made in Japan) ($32), one of these Japanese-made teapots, tea cups and saucers, or a Japanese washi-LED lantern.
  • For Scandinavia, check out one of these Scandinavian-inspired rocking chairs or Scandinavian-inspired Skol counter height stools; any of these items might help you start your Japandi home “coffee shop” decor 🙂
