Visiting PG Foodies

They started by writing a food blog, today they run a renowned Prague café, a newly opened bistro, and they live more than one life. Petr and Gábi. Food lovers who are not afraid to experiment, explore, and transform their passion into something we can now taste. We asked the founders of Etapa and Šodó about their shared home, its transformation, and their must-have cookbooks.

Your apartment is beautiful. Can you tell us more about how you found it? It might surprise many, but we found it a few years ago on Bazoš. How long did it take you to truly feel at home in it? As soon as we finished it, got the gas stove working, brought in our mattress, that feeling of "we're home" came right away.

The most comfortable way to relax on the sofa is in the company of soft cushions and a throw.

What do you think makes a home?

Plants.

And how does it smell?

At our place, it smells like our dog, Jonáš.

Do you have any favorite home fragrances or candles?

I love heavier scents and I most often return to the PF Candle Co. brand, which has both scented candles and diffusers. When do you spend the most time at home?

In the living room, which is connected to the kitchen. It's large, airy, and gets the most daylight. style="text-align: center;">The kitchen with the dining room and living room form a cozy space full of wood, plants, and books.

With what three words would you describe your home?

Cozy, chaotic, yet airy.

How often do you change, move, or rearrange things at home?

Very often. We love change. Every month we change something, so our apartment is constantly in motion.

Which piece of furniture did you search for the longest?

The oak bed. A beautiful clean design from the dearest BUDU. class="">

An oak wood bed dressed in Old Memories, Quiet Jungle, and Monochrome Melange collections.

Did you make anything in the apartment yourselves?

Just a few drawings. And Petr's mom sewed us a tent that hangs above Beátka's bed.

How did your home transform after Beátka was born?

It became more colorful. We started to feel the need to surround ourselves with more colors that are vibrant and evoke a sense of playfulness and joy.

What do you think makes every space cozy?

A plant, a beautiful lamp with the right bulb, and a soft .

And what should everyone have at home?

Tough question. Probably a quality mattress and bed linen. After all, we spend about a third of our lives in bed.

What evokes the feeling of freshly made beds for you?

Childhood. When my mom would cover me with a cool blanket. And also summer at grandma's. src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0927/6765/0123/files/blog_NaNavsteveUPGFoodies_9.webp?v=1753705943">

"A plant, a beautiful lamp with the right bulb, and a soft blanket."

Bed linen made from Tencel Lyocell fibers and cotton. It's love at first touch.
