And today, a pearl of the Arts & Crafts movement: Tim Oulton in London. Back when we set up our hotel THE STARNBERGSEE HIDEAWAY, we furnished it almost entirely with this brand – simply timeless and unique pieces. Everything is handcrafted with the finest materials.

Enjoy browsing – and if something catches your eye, feel free to reach out to me.

PS: For me, Arts & Crafts in today’s world means celebrating craftsmanship, authenticity, and beauty that stands the test of time. Another reason for „becauseofmyage“ – aging interior meets aging ladies 🙂

Less scrolling. Less noise. More pages.

I’m sharing 8 of my favorite summer reads in these photos — books that feel like cool shade, deep breath, and a glass of something sparkling. Some are wise, some witty, some a little wild… but all remind me that summer is giving my mind time to wander.

Because turning off the phone (even just sometimes) is a quiet rebellion.
It’s the gift of mental vacation — of letting thoughts unfold without needing to decide. Just feeling, floating, enjoying.

What I look forward to most this season?

Tell me: What are you reading this summer?
