Dyeing Clothes Without Water + Where Do Your Charity Donations End Up 
Hello, how are you?
I’ve been spending the week trying to get settled into my new flat. We really didn’t have much furniture as a lot of it was rented in our last apartment. So we have been searching out vintage and secondhand furniture shops here in Berlin. This one is my favourite, mid-century Danish furniture that is lovingly restored. However tempting to buy out the whole shop, we settled on the chairs in the picture above. (Image via Vintage Galore)
