Serious chic style in this black and white Scandinavian home with gorgeous moldings and amazing windows. Little pops of color here and there make this a home I could totally live in.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Beautiful home from Residence Magazine that is super fresh and modern. I am love with these Moroccan carpets that have this minimalist Scandinavian style. I decided I had to have one in my own home so I went and bought one at West Elm and put it in my office and I love it!! It adds such a great touch of warmth and really makes it feel so much more current and new. So fun to add one new element to a room and feel such a great change. Don't you just love decorating! What fun..

So love this Scandinavian apartment! So inspired that I can see doing this in one of my clients homes. The couch is just perfect. Modern but still comfortable and the coolest of lamps beside it...also the coffee table is just so perfect! I would love to have one of these cross blankets from Pia Wallen... they are really beautiful don't you think?
Hope you are having a great week. Check out these Scandinavian beauties HERE and HERE..
Enjoy!

If you love Scandinavian design then you must know about Emmas Design Blogg. I have been following Emma Fexeus for awhile now and she has the most amazing and paired down style I have ever seen. Thanks to the wonderful Est Magazine we get a sneak peek at Emmas new book called Northern Delights and if these pictures are any indication, the book looks to be very inspiring.
Love the very rustic feeling of the bedroom and the oversize black lamps in the dining room. Her advice is to get rid of the clutter to let your pieces show to their best advantage. Not so easy to decide what goes and what stays but it looks great when it is done!!
Enjoy!

A wonderful Swedish Style home today that hits all the right notes! Beautiful Swedish style pieces combined with French flair.
There is a lot going on in this room but it still works because of the delicate furniture.
A great paint color on the walls and the rug has just the right blend of tones to fit with the rest of the room.
Good storage and a fantastic piece of furniture!
Love the detail over the door.
A lot of detail in every room including the kitchen.
Just one of the bedrooms, there is another on the home page not to be missed! I really love the small chair/daybed.
Enjoy!

I always feel a little sad as summer comes to a close. Our winters here are long and hard and during the summer we are outside as much as possible. We sit out on the porch in the back looking at what new flower has come up and just generally enjoying our garden.
Every summer for the past 14 years we have vacationed in Maine (unfortunately not this year) and one of the things I love about Maine is the big porches on so many of the houses. I love it when there is a wrap-around porch, and I see the people that live in the house sitting outside watching the world go by.
Do you have a big porch on your house and how have you decorated it?
I love blue hydrangeas. Reminds me of Cape Cod!
Talk about an elegant patio!
Vintage all the way.
That is just like Maine!
Bright white with the black contrast and a pop of color, perfect.
Simplicity at its best..
Enjoy your weekend!

The owner of this wonderful eclectic apartment is a photographer and interior designer, Benedikte Ugland. This very personal space is decorated with great details such as raw concrete, modern plexiglass furniture, vintage and industrial pieces. I love the contrast of the black flooring and counters, against the white walls and tiles in the kitchen.
Who says you can not mix styles! What do you think of this space?
Enjoy!

I have been doing pottery on and off since I was in school but a few years ago I decided to take some classes and get a bit more serious about it. Where I live in Montreal there is a pottery studio 5 minutes walk from my home that has wonderful, experienced teachers and students. Well I went for my classes and I fell in love. I fell in love with the art and the process of doing pottery, on the wheel and building them by hand. It is such a time consuming endevour to make one small pot.... make the pot, trim the pot, dry the pot, bisque the pot, glaze the pot, into the kiln it goes again and then the full on anticipation of what can happen to your beloved pot (it never turns out how you thought it would!!)
I have been off this summer and have been in the pottery studio everyday. I love to work at this craft and I love to be around other artists that do it too. I admire great potters here in my studio and out in the world so today I am offering you a few photos of pottery that I love and a photo of mine as well.
