It has been raining for 20 days in a row in Guangzhou, and it is finally sunny today. Unfortunately, the business trip didn't catch up with the good weather, and it rained for several days in Fuzhou.
So, today I want to share some wonderful things I have encountered in my recent life to "purify my mind" and dry my moldy heart after the rain.
(Example statement: This article does not contain any soft commercial promotion)
Small things that make people feel good.
Recently, I added three new "little friends" that I like very much. These are all things that Coco likes:
Three lions crystal ball
A few days ago, Tristan suddenly said he would give me a present and opened a heavy little box. Wow ~ Ms Chanel's crystal ball!
Carrying three lions on your back is like carrying a full moon on your back. The texture in the crystal ball is very special. When you look at this photo, it looks big. In fact, small can be wrapped in the palm of your hand. It's not big, but it's quite powerful.
A few years ago, I visited Ms. Chanel's apartment at 3 1 Partner Street in Paris. I can't forget the lion crystal ball on her desk, which was customized by jeweler Robert goossens for Ms. Chanel on 1953. This is a small replica made by goossens later.
I asked her: How did you come up with the idea of choosing this crystal ball?
Her answer, which I didn't expect, cheered you up and made you more inspired when writing.
Two days ago, Tong Tong and I had a live broadcast. She mentioned that she put a few things in her study that she felt very powerful at first sight, so as to "borrow money" and make herself more refreshed when writing. Among them is this crystal ball. 1030 10 when we filmed her house in the first issue, we specially filmed these "gas gathering" things.
Unexpectedly, Tristan planted a seed in his mind on the spot and wanted to send me a copy to write more manuscripts.

Playground ceramic tungsten wire
light
Recently, a small lamp was added to my house. Here, it is the little "Coco love, no head" light below.
My home and company have a corner dedicated to all kinds of strange gadgets. My friends call them "naive planets". The new circus leader said with a smile that he was very happy and would be led by a naive team in the future.
This is Wang Da R's June 1st gift. When he gave me this lamp, he also quietly gave me a blessing: "I hope to add a beam of light to the playground of your life." Give this sentence to you too ~
Medieval vase
Two weeks ago, there was another cute girl in the vase army at home.
Does this look familiar?
At the end of my birthday present in March, there was such a small picture. Coincidentally, its fate is exactly the same as the crystal ball in front of it. It floats on the sea and was recently received.
This vase has a lovely name, called "Guagua Bottle".
A: Yes.

Experienced Fenton Fenton
Elon vase series, some people say its base is like a pumpkin)
",but his family stopped production in 2000. Now authentic vases and porcelain are old things. If you find one, count it (Lily was very thoughtful to help me find this vase) ~
There are almost 10 vases of various styles in my home. They are metal industry style, retro and exquisite. But there are no lovely players, which just fills the gap ~
As you know, the overall color matching of my house is relatively heavy, and the dark green wall absorbs light. Although I like it very much, I always feel that it is not bright enough. This little vase is as crisp as the blue sky after the rain. It looks very refreshing and is a very good lighting item.
Li also said, I think the medieval atmosphere of this small vase matches my home very well. I hope I can feel healed every time I see it, and my mood will become relaxed ~
When the flowers bloom, the fragrance will come naturally!
"Monroe nods" ornament
Li also gave me a "Monroe Head", which she saw on the Internet and bought casually. It feels good to be remembered by a good friend all the time ~
Black coat, retro umbrella skirt, black sunglasses. She said she thought of me at first sight. Img src =' 3359P3。 Toutiaomg.com/large/tos-cn-I-tjoges 91tu/sibrl293um35na'' Just touch the skirt.
I started to nod, feeling that I was saying "welcome home", so it was very suitable for the porch ~
There is also a decoration in this group, which she collected herself, which is a bit like eating fat.
(But later, the more I watched it, the more I felt that the rainbow was big, so fat. Hahaha)
This proud little expression is so cute.
A book about the beauty of houses.
When I wrote my annual plan before, I said that I wanted to read more books on design, housing, art and space this year, hoping to bring some different perspectives to my housekeeping trip.
Among the latest books, if you want to choose one, it is the best one.
Yes, I chose this "Residential Reader" written by Nakamura Yoshimitsu, a Japanese residential designer. _
Some books on architecture and design have a high threshold. Nine times out of ten, they need to be read attentively, and some of them are mixed with a lot of terms to look up word by word, otherwise they are easy to understand.
And this book is easy to read even if it has nothing to do with architecture and design (such as me). Nakamura Yoshimitsu's writing is straightforward, interesting and warm. Sometimes he makes jokes, but there is no academic sense in his mind. With a large number of photos and lovely manuscripts drawn by him, the pictures and texts are illustrated. It will be finished in an hour. Of all Nakamura's works, this one is the best to read. _
In addition to designing his own house, Nakamura also has a very successful column "House Tour", which is to visit many beautiful spaces and buildings around the world-classic works and private houses of architects, big houses and small homes, and some interesting living spaces with characteristics. This book contains some of his "housekeeping essentials". _
In addition to the introduction of space, there are many feelings about "what is a good house" as an observer and designer. Many people inspired me:
For example, he mentioned "the spirit of the earth". When visiting the summer house of Gunnar asp Lund, a Swedish architect, he said that when he went there, he felt the unique temperament and invisible power that pervaded a certain place, which was called "the spirit of the earth" in the architectural world. _
When I think of my "suburban village house", because the decoration has not been finished, I often get "soul torture" from my friends: life and work are inconvenient, there is no room for appreciation and no liquidity, and the project is still so big. Why are you so irrational? To tell the truth, I have never regretted it, but I still like it every time I go.
After reading this passage, I finally know the reason. When I decided to buy this place, I should have heard the silence of this place ~ _
Another example is a room. Nakamura loves to design this one-bedroom apartment, because this kind of house can give people the closest feeling of "being under the same roof" and "being in the same space".
He likes to use sliding doors in his own design, so that the air can flow freely in the house and people can feel the suddenly enlightened atmosphere. _
He also mentioned that designing a house requires "playing with your heart". If the house is too detailed and practical, it will become a box, which is too boring to play with.
Life also needs a little fun. It is very important to play with your heart, which represents the inner excess. _
The book also talks about the choice of furniture, leaving a place for children to play their imagination at home and so on. Very recommended to friends who like home architecture.
A drama that is a little sad and a little warm.
I don't know if you have seen this drama. My Liberation Daily was ignited some time ago, and many people call it a "healing drama that people in the workplace must watch". _
At first, I wondered why the title was "Liberation" because it was quite puzzling.
It turns out that the "social fear" in the three companies didn't want to participate in various "fun parties" (similar to interest groups) and formed a "liberation fun party" by themselves. At first, it was just to meet the HR requirements of the company. I didn't expect all three of them to be "liberated" to some extent. _
The plot sounds like a workplace drama, but it's not. A suburban family can no longer live a dull daily life. Going to and from work, falling in love and falling out of love, drinking and chatting, voicing with friends, and complaining with family ... The look and feel is a bit like the Japanese drama My Story is Long recommended last year. _
The three brothers and sisters work in Seoul during the day and return to Gyeonggi Province at night. In the original words of the play, they live in "egg yolk (Seoul) outer ring protein (Gyeonggi Province)", much like the migrant workers who live a twin city life around us.
My elder sister, who is nearly 40 years old, has done the same monotonous work for more than ten years, madly falling in love, but never got the result; My younger brother is a clerk in a retail company. He has no car, no house, and no big plan for his life. If you are dumped by your girlfriend in Seoul, you will be stabbed as a "hillbilly". Little sister is a little transparent in the workplace. She was intentionally or unintentionally excluded by her boss diss and her colleagues and was not respected. ......
Everyone in the play is very tired and wants to "liberate" from their own lives. _
When I watched the previous episodes, the barrage kept spitting. It's so depressing
Several protagonists in the play have their own frustrations, and day after day, they go back and forth and can't find an exit. Like a drowning man, he can't breathe, but he doesn't know how to breaking the surface. _
But I feel so healed that I can't even bear to look at it.
There are many mourning scenes in the play, but overall it is quite relaxed and warm. People feel that no matter how hard life is, as long as they have the courage to love, they can still see the entrance of that light. _
Everyone has a "hard" life, but everyone does not rot all the way to the end, but tries to live while mourning. _
If you have five minutes of happiness a day, you can stick to it. _
Isn't that what real life is like? Even though it makes people feel sad most of the time, it is those warm moments that support us. Another play I like very much, Melo's Constitution, has a line: "Isn't life like this? With a little memory of the good times, I will survive most of the inevitable hard times. Although I can't deny this, I really like to create that little good time now. "
When watching the drama, I thought of Mika Nakashima's song "I once wanted everything":
"I once thought of death because I lived too seriously."
The reason why I feel very tired is probably because I am still struggling and want to pursue beauty. _
Many of us may have been living an ordinary and dull life, and will not be "liberated" overnight, but only find some warmth in life.
A project to improve aesthetic feeling
During this time, I have been watching one or two episodes of PianKe before going to bed every night, and I feel very cured. After listening to it before going to bed, my heart calmed down.
This program is quite old. The first season came out on 20 15, and I just finished watching the first and second seasons in three seasons. But I just saw it for the first time a while ago. I thought it might be a little boring, but I didn't expect to stop at first sight. Even a layman like me, who can't draw and has little research on art history, can easily read it. _
Each episode is short and easy to understand, and each episode has a theme, which lasts for ten to thirty minutes. Teacher Chen Danqing told many interesting stories while talking about pictures. _
His expression is also very imaginative and vivid.
For example, he talked about the studio of the impressionist painter Basil. He said that this painting is like a morning, who is here and who is talking to whom. The sun is shining outside the window, and the sun is very good. Everyone is in a good mood, which is only the confidence and hope of young people. This is a wonderful day that every one of us has experienced. _
Because of this strong sense of picture and the appeal of expression, although I don't know much about many artists and works introduced by him, it doesn't hinder me from watching them at all.
For example, he said that Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" (this year's Spring Festival Evening dance "Wei Qing" was inspired by it). Such a magnificent masterpiece, even Song Huizong was shocked by it, was actually painted by the juvenile Wang Ximeng, who was only 18 years old. _
Chen Danqing said that only 18-year-old Wang Ximeng could draw this painting. No matter how old he is, he can't create such amazing masterpieces. It is because of ignorance, ignorance and ignorance that we are so bold, naturally creative and appealing. _
He also talked about painters we are familiar with, such as Van Gogh. But his angle is strange. He called Van Gogh a "fool". _
He himself especially likes Van Gogh's early work "The Fisherman by the Sea", even an unfinished small painting with thick lines and no facial features. _
But Chen Danqing said that's why Van Gogh was so powerful. It is easy to draw skillfully. A little talent and practice make perfect can do it, but not everyone can do stupidity. _
Seeing this seems to remind myself: don't lose the spirit of "stupidity"! Inexperienced, innocent, that kind of energy ~
I often feel "Oh, so that's it" when I watch it.
It is not that he provided a specific evaluation of a painting, because there is no "standard answer" to the understanding of art, artists and artworks. More importantly, after listening to his explanation, I felt that my cognition and thinking were opened and I found many new perspectives on things and problems. This is also the initial intention of teacher Chen Danqing to do this program, which he specifically talked about in the second season. _
It is worth mentioning that the music of this program is also very good. I played the opening song at the beginning. The music and ending songs in many movies are also very pleasant to listen to, and they cooperate well with narration and pictures.
