A week or so ago, Henen wrote a post about how to go urban cool and decorate with a piece of London. This urban coolness is really hot at the moment! And has indeed been for quite a while. I love splashes of this kind of decor. I got a New York graffiti building – cushion for our sofa when we had just bought it (can be viewed in this post, the leftmost one on the sofa, fromTeo Jasmin).  And I wouldn’t say no to the garvey chair pictured above, from the news shelf at Anthropologie. A cool piece of furniture! Cloaked in upholstery printed with the names of New York City subway stations. It’s scuffed with an antique finish, and it’s low. Yummie :)

Urban coolness and city charm need not be only New York or London. Anthropologie news are also these nice cushions below with the streets of Paris and streets of Brussels:

…and I wish I could tell you about all the cool and charming Stockholm items, but sad to say: I haven’t seen any. (and as a side note: I swear they would be white anyway..=)) hope I’m wrong)

I just have to re-post this interesting wall paper piece I stumbled across over at Apartment Theraphy. It’s for doorways – unused doors I presume, a handle would certainly interfere with the picture – and it features ‘old parisian metropolitan’s stairs’ (above), Montmartre’s stairs and stairs from the Catacombs, an empty dressing, escalators, a vintage iron store front, a castel corridor, a mesy book stack…view full range here. The idea is funny I think, although not all too often useful if not you remove some skirting and put up door moldings on the wall -  install a faux door. That would make this an exemple of framed wall art…! Anyway, for the one who has shut a door whose crossing serves no purpose – this should be excellent inspiration.
