True words by Aunt Johanna

Came across these inspiring words today at a lovely life. So true...but how do we fix it?

Also, quite ironic I copy it in here, eh? ;)

Well put Johanna...

The same stuff?

At the risk of stepping on some sensitive toes, I can not help but to take up this subject. For is it not?That we bloggers tend to write about the very same things exactly the same time? If it is not the fashion bloggers that everyone has gone mad in the same shoes as it's decor bloggers who wants to host the same home. I'm certainly not better yourself, not by a long shot. I have never claimed and never will but sometimes I get so dull and a bit empty. Orka show just that home again as well.

A very typical example of this kind of thing is when one of Scandinavia's best inredningsstylister and my former teachers Lotta Agaton posted a post about an incredibly good home belonging to the owner of the trademark by North photographed by Heidi Lerkenfeldt last week, it did not take long before it almost everywhere in the Nordic blogs. And it's so often! Many run as well as after the most prominent and publishes nearly identical blog post. Not to mention decorating magazines! I really wonder how many times you really have to see the same home in newspaper after newspaper buying home for pretty good money. For this story, I would also add that this particular home was published in Elle Interior for almost exactly 2 years ago and even then figured it a bit here and there, I was at home on the couch and craving, blogged and dreamed of doing the exactly the same at home.

In order not to let too bitter, it's fine in this boogie that it is a bit liberating to something really nice keep year after year without having to get tired, but we need to see the same thing over and over in a bunch of different blogs that actually have about the same readers? Is it me who is whiny, perhaps? I do not know! But what I do know is that it was exactly for this reason, I and Amelia got the idea that maybe you could start producing inspiring material not seen anywhere before. Something new on our way! Obviously, mixed with goodies from others but right now I'm tired of old news. But you wait a week just so I'm safely back on the same train again.
