New Scotland Yard Hotel

 So I have promised you London. I have even created a separate sub page for it... It's about time I write something about it;) With restaurants and hotels reopening slowly I hope to be able to start visiting places again. I find walking around London and popping to bars and pubs an endless source of inspiration. Today I'm going to show you The Great Scotland Yard Hotel  that made a huge impression on me when I visited it... just before the lock-down.

Win Win Way Out

 So my little rug fixation continues... For those of you who know me... you know those can last... Remember balloons? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) ;) I'm actually about to finish on the subject. With Antonio Santin and his "Win Win Way out":

More about rugs...

 So you know how when you do your google search and you come across something incredible... it's not exactly what you're after atm...? But it's too good to just close the tab? That happened when I was working on my "big come back" ;) With Farid Rasulov.

Did you miss me...? ;)

 Can you get back to doing something after four years break? Well before jumping straight into it, I feel like I own you a bit of explanation there... But I am not sure I can provide one;) I vividly remember feeling personally neglected whenever some of my favourite bloggers would vanish like that... And there is that pinch of guilt when I get a notification of someone new following me on bloglovin... Anyway, I hope you're not too bitter with me.

 The truth is, November 2016 was when I moved to London, taking what I felt was an opportunity of a lifetime(it wasn't;)). I will probably mention my London adventures in the upcoming posts. But my guess is you're not here for my personal or even work life. And if you are here to read about design... there is now so much more that I can share... Even though I wasn't writing I thought a lot of what I would blog about... For instance I have discovered american furniture designers that should go into design icons... for some reason never heard much of them before, back in Poland. At Academy of Fine Arts it was all about the European masters... Like Arne Jacobsen... Who is still in my "drafts"... And I feel like now, after seeing live his St Catherine's College in Oxford the post will be so much fuller. I will be able to show you my favourite hospitality interiors after actually visiting them... which is so much better then just re-posting... There are all the amazing exhibitions...That would go under "art" label... well that's on hold... And there is the whole new world of furniture, lighting and finishes that I came by in the past few years... Which gets me to why I actually stopped. Looking from the time perspective I think I was just overwhelmed with everything I have discovered. And there's the fact blogging is really time consuming... Now, three months into my furlough I feel like I finally can make the time... especially as  my #coronaabs are still not showing... why don't I focus on something that I can actually enjoy? ;) Also, being stuck at home I feel like I'm forgetting the language... so I'm going to try something I always wanted and have the English version of my blog. Well... I also don't have polish keyboard... and I am not the admin of the PC I'm temporary using. Excuse my grammatical mistakes... I will get there...
 After this lengthy introduction, there is the pressure of picking the subject for my first post after the break... And I am going to go with rugs... But not really. The ones I have in mind are more of art pieces... or design objects. And it feels like I should start with Debbie Lawson.
