Storybook Home

This house looks like it is straight from a storybook with the thatched roof and wonderful garden but it is actually a 200 year old home near the border of Denmark. Beautiful flowers surround this property and open windows bring the fantastic light into the interior spaces. So pretty and feminine with a real Gustavian style in the rooms that fits perfectly with the look of this home. The house is so lovely with accents of red and green throughout and of course there is a perfect Mora clock in the corner of the living room! The painted floor in grey and white is a wonderful added touch. What a dreamy home don't you think?

Enjoy!

Blue and White Mix

These photos are all of one small room but there are so many fun ideas here! First, I love blue and white and have a lot of it in my living room. Second, I love the mix of patterns which start at the door with the two market baskets with blue stripes...so cute! Next, the pillows are just beautiful and mix and match so well, really creating a nice statement. The rug adds another pattern into the mix but its not too much at all. Lastly the quilts on top of the armoire with still more pattern...but it really works. The three tables, the two white and the metal table also look super. Take a look at a couple of other blue and white posts HERE and HERE.

White House by the Beach

This pretty white house has beautiful white concrete patios and shiny white wooden floors inside. There are no doors in the house except to the bathrooms leaving an open, airy space..perfect for this home as it is near the beach. I love the built in benches on the patio and the contrast of the white outdoors with the blue of the pool. Inside, the decor is light and simple but with big impact. Such a good idea to put the fur on the dining room chairs. Makes a statement and is cozy as well. Also the touches of blue throughout the home continue the theme from the outdoors.

Here are a couple of other beach houses to look at HERE and HERE....

Enjoy!

Whimsical Home

Gorgeous floors and ceilings make this home feel really special...wide planks on the floor in white and natural wood and white washed ceilings, I mean really what could be better. Well, how about a saddle hanging in the middle of the house of course! Lots of whimsy in this space and a real mix of elements with Lucite and wood mingling with vintage and leather. The home is really well styled and is owned by a well known Swedish design blogger. She and her husband did a full renovation on the house themselves and really personalized this wonderful space. I mean any place that has a big tree house in the back has got to be fun! Take a look at some other wonderful, whimsical homes HERE and HERE...

Enjoy!

Interiors: Lovely for Rent

 

I often look at homes on sites that are either selling properties or renting different homes for photography. There are so many creative beautiful homes on these sites and the spaces are often light filled with wide open rooms. I have seen some homes decorated in two or three different ways for different photo shoots and they look so original each time and the home takes on the feeling of the brand or product that is being shot in the home.

One of the sites I like is Light Locations. There are so many beautiful homes on this site and the decor is often simple and clean like this home below. What a perfect base to build on with lovely furnishings and of course there is the gorgeous architecture. Check that amazing mirror in the living room and the pale chevron floor in the kitchen..really beautiful! Here are One and Two more homes from Light Locations.

Enjoy!

Modern Family Home

This pretty Victorian home in London has been transformed into a modern, clean and spacious place for a family. I am loving the clean white on the walls and floors with bright pops of colour in every room. The kitchen has great open shelving and some homey touches to keep it from looking too stark. Antiques and chandeliers add just the right amount of contrast to this modern space . There is also lovely mix of textures with soft and cozy couches against marble and wood. Nicely done! Here are some other modern spaces here and here..

Enjoy!

White Country Collections

This white country cottage is full of the most beautiful mini collections.  I really like the collection of ceramic eggs, a mini collection of dogs, buttons and magazines as well as a collection of seltzer bottles, ironstone ale glasses and pitchers. There are so many mini collections throughout this pretty house! The dining room has a gorgeous kerosene lamp and a pretty spindle chair and the kitchen is featuring the owners collection of enamel ware plates and cups. What about the umbrellas in that amazing stand! Really a lovely cottage with so many great ideas to start your own collection. Myself, I collect ceramics and mercury glass. What do you collect in your home? 

Enjoy!

Industrial Vintage Style

I really like the mix of vintage and industrial style in this wonderful home in Normandy, France (an area that I love!) So many great things in these photos including the big clock in the living room, the light bulbs in a basket and take a look at the lighting everywhere...so clever and fun! Every room has something interesting and imaginative to look at...I think they love their home and it shows in the care they took in each room...what do you think?

Seaside Cottage

The Swedish nautical theme starts at the front door in this pretty seaside cottage, with a beautiful pale teal hat stand. The house, though mostly white, continues with shades of blue throughout the home creating a wonderful continuity. Shells, palms and driftwood add just the right touch to finalize the theme. The little desk at the bottom of the stairs is so sweet and all of the painted cabinets are just perfect in the space. The floor is a high gloss industrial paint adding a bit of shine to the surface and reflecting the blues in the cabinets and paintings. I love the look of a seaside cottage and this one is beautifully done. There are a couple more from previous posts HERE and HERE.

Enjoy!

Schoolhouse Vintage

This restored 100 year old schoolhouse is full of gorgeous vintage style! From the moment you enter the home the pretty black and white tile leads you into wonderfully decorated space. The kitchen with a Smeg fridge (check out these Smeg fridges) and stove and has a white and grey painted floor and many wonderful little details...look at the little decorative iron piece over the top of the window. Such a creative replacement for a curtain valence!

For me one of the best pieces in this home is the gorgeous cabinet in the dining room.....oh so beautiful! It is such a large piece with such a small, simple base with a shabby finish...just perfect!

Enjoy!
