White and Colourful Vintage

I don't normally put homes with a lot of colour in them on my blog but I find this lovely house very inspiring. The white exterior and the all white interior with the colourful vintage furnishings is so pretty and feminine I had to share! I love the use of the pink and turquiose together and the mix of vintage fabrics all with different florals or patterns.

The renovated exterior of this home is so amazing with the balconies all around the house and with those amazing dormer windows. You can see the way the dormers are used in some of the other photos. A big couch sits inside one of them and the big white bed sits in the other making great use of the architecture of the home. You can see there has been a lot of care put into the upkeep and renovation of this home while still keeping its original character and charm.

Interiors: White on White

Simple and chic white on white decorating in this home in England. All of my favorite elements including pops of colour with a mix of vintage, barn and Swedish style. Take a look at the child like art throughout the home that adds a really whimsical element and a touch of humour to each room. When I see a home like this I remember the importance of layering different white and cream colours into the space to ensure you have depth and don't forget about different textures as well.

Enjoy!

Vintage Industrial Mix

This former country store was transformed into a very interesting home for this lovely Swedish family since 2008. They loved the fact that it was large, unusual and quirky and I have to agree! So quirky and certainly charming as well. I would say it is still a work in progress but is full of so much potential. They have a wonderful mix of industrial and vintage styles with a lot of Swedish style thrown in which we all know I love!

Enjoy!

Rustic Country Christmas

This creative home has so many interesting displays and uses each element in a new way that Christmas decor never looked so fun! From the hats displayed on the wall in the form of a tree to the framed wreath on the stairway I am inspired to try some of these super ideas in my own home!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Christmas Tables

I am starting to think about how I will do my table this year for Christmas Day when the family comes over. I always do an all white table (of course) but this year I really want to add something different. I am not sure what that will be ( I will take a picture so you can see what I decide) but I want to add red or bring plants instead of flowers onto the table. Anyway, I have been looking for inspiration and I thought I would share with you what I found.

Enjoy!

French Country Christmas

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse in France is the perfect backdrop to an all White Christmas. Lovely architectural details such as the paneled walls and beamed ceilings are well paired with the furnishings and accessories in the home. The sparkle of candlelight against the mirrors and the glass add warmth to this elegant setting. What a wonderful home to celebrate the season! Love it..

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Holiday Doors and Windows

I love these windows and doors (and a couple of blackboards ) with a beautiful touch of green in a wreath or a bunch of pine boughs. It is so easy and fun to add a touch of the holidays with a wreath hung indoors or outside. Add a bow, some pine cones and a few berries and voila! So many creative folks out there!

Norwegian Beauty

This little jewel of a home in Norway is not full of expensive furnishings or fancy decor but still manages to be creative and inspiring. I think adding reflection in a home is so important and they do this so well with all of the lovely glass chandeliers. The touches of grey throughout the home in the couches, the wording on the furniture and the throw on the bed add a wonderful contrast in every room and provide continuity as well.

Pale Grey and Wood

This beautiful pale, pale grey home with the warm herringbone wood floor is just a stones throw outside of London. I love way the silver touches and mirrors have been added throughout the space to give that little bit of bling and reflection. The dining room is obviously a really large space and they have filled it well with the two gorgeous tables. Then of course the entry...well it is so perfect with the table and display of the bottles.....love it all..

 

Enjoy!
