Nordic Inspiration

If you read my blog on a regular basis you know how much I love Nordic influence in design. The clean lines, simple styling and of course the use of white in Nordic decor inspires me enormously. Well imagine when I opened my Est Magazine this month to see none other than the The Nordic Issue.....love, love, love. Here are a few photos from the issue to inspire you and you can go here to see many more!!

Renovated Brownstone

This month Lonny Magazine features this gorgeous brownstone completely renovated by designer Katie Martinez. Very chic yet comfortable for a family this home strikes the right balance with a touch of modern and vintage. Loving the lamps in the kitchen with the dark island and white cabinetry....and of course the gorgeous backsplash and counter...one of my personal favourites. There are many more pictures on the Lonny website so pop over to take a look.

Beach House Beauty

Such a cute beach house from Domino Magazine! Designed by Anna Burke, it has just the right amount of vintage, rustic charm mixed with a cool Palm Beach vibe. Of course the all white palette with accents of blue and white is one of my all time favourites, so this strikes a perfect note in my books. Love the high ceilings in the home and especially in the kitchen area....with these amazing lamps over open shelves it does not get any better!

Domino does it again for me! Always one of my go to magazines for inspiration!

Lonny Magazine Re-launch

It has been since December that Lonny Magazine stopped publishing their on-line magazine and I thought that was the last we were going to see of it. I was receiving their emails and went often to the site but new editions of the magazine never came out.....but to my delight this month they re-launched an updated magazine and website. I saw mixed feedback about the site but I have to say I like it. I found it is easy to navigate and the content is interesting and the homes gorgeous. Of course for me Michelle Adams, the former editor now at Domino, brought so much style to the pages of Lonny, but I am happy that the magazine is back and that it is still inspiring me with new ideas in decorating and design.

Check out this wonderful home of designer Susan Greenleaf in this months issue. Welcome back Lonny!

Simply White and Bright

So love this home from Domino Magazine with white on white walls, floor and ceiling...so gorgeous! What makes it so great is the the punches of colour throughout this amazing white space. The kitchen is perfect with the big island on wheels and marble backsplash....What about the coffee table in the living room? Really like the way it has been styled with the sheepskin. 

I am off to Chicago for a few days this week. If you have any suggestions for great restaurants or places to visit please let me know!

Domino Magazine: Colour Issue

The latest issue of Domino Magazine is all about colour and boy is it gorgeous! Of course, where there is colour there needs to be lots of white because colour always looks best against the crispness of white walls and fabrics. I love the way colour is used in these rooms...great wall art, bright printed cushions and rich carpets.

Super stylish rooms and accessories are featured throughout the magazine...as you know it is one of my favourites...and even better now you can download the new app! Yes, you can download the app onto your ipad and browse the articles and shop away...yes you can buy so much of what you see in the mag..on the website..just search in Domino Magazine in iTunes.

Vogue Living

I have already talked about the magazine Vogue Living but this March issue is the best yet! A wonderful mix of really incredible homes from around the world photographed by the most amazing photographers. (This spread is from photographer Michael Wee). I subscribe to Vogue through Zinio which I love..just get it in my in box and off I go. I do still like to read the paper version of many magazines though...something about the touch and feel of the paper that makes me happy (same for books!).

I love the home below as it has the elements I look for....modern with a mix of rustic vintage giving it a warm, cozy lived in feeling but with so much elegance. Beautiful!

Domino Magazine Archives

I was going through the Domino Magazine archives on line today and found some of my favourite photos that influenced my decision to change my decor from pale pastel and white to all white. I used to buy every Domino magazine and pour through each page. I am so happy they decided to bring it back into print! I remember seeing the photo below of Tom Delevan's home and fell in love! It was a small picture and I went back to it many times. So simple but beautiful. I find all of the rooms have really stood the test of time and continue to look great today....filled with well chosen pieces, all it takes is small changes to update them.

Kinfolk Magazine

I am sure most of you have discovered the magazine and website Kinfolk but if you haven't I suggest you check it out. Kinfolk describes itself as a blueprint for a balanced, intentional lifestyle...full of gorgeous photographs and wonderful ideas and articles it feels like a very cool hipster/artist entertaining guide to me. The magazine is printed on wonderful matte paper and has a book like quality to it. I usually buy it at Anthropologie but you can subscribe to it on the website....which in itself is sooo well done. Gorgeous short videos with so much feeling and creativity...I am gushing now..but so thoughtful really. Kinfolk also curates an international series of events hosting between 12–30 dinners and workshops every month with a shared theme (Flower Potlucks, Campfire Cooking and Butcher Block Parties). Some of these can be seen on video on the website as well. My intention is to go to one in the next year! Take a look at some of the gorgeous photos and videos here...

Enjoy!
