Lifestyle Photographer: Carolina Romare

Just loving these wonderful interiors shots from Carolina Romare. She is a lifestyle, interiors, food photographer from Malmo, Sweden. Her shots are light filled and with delicate styling and attention to detail. 

She says “I like the raw simplicity in things I see. Often I find myself thinking about how all objects and environments have a story to tell. Like a deserted house somewhere in the countryside or a 17th century armchair for example, I bet it’s got lots of secrets from various dinner parties and owners. It’s the history and stories that makes things truly beautiful.”

You can see her work in many wonderful Swedish magazines such as Skonhem and Lantliv.

Enjoy!

Vogue Living Australia

I subscribe to Vogue Living Australia. A truly amazing magazine with a really interesting variety of homes. They are always so different and often full of gorgeous details. I like the simplicity of this home...the clean lines, cool floors and the large windows creating an indoor outdoor space.

Just a quick post tonight. Had such a big day today! Hope your week is going great and hope Halloween was fun for the little ones!

Enjoy!

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!

Inspiration in White: Yellow Accents

The beauty of having an all white home is that you can choose any colour you want as an accent. I have shown you ideas for adding green and blue but yellow adds a real touch of the bohemian to a room. It feels younger and more edgy than most other colours and it takes a bold person to mix more than a couple of pieces of this colour into a room.....but the beauty is you don't need much to get great impact. I just finished a clients bedroom that is white and grey with yellow, gold cushions and it looks amazing! 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Swiss Cross + X

The Swiss Cross symbol is really showing up all over Pinterest and on many blogs thanks to the Pia Wallen blanket. Done in black and white it fits so well into a modern Nordic decor. I have also seen versions of this with a big X as well giving a sort of stark, cool design element in a room. Both the cross and X are being used on pillows, wall art, wallpaper and of course in blankets and throws. Doesn't black and white always looks so good in decorating...always sophisticated...

Enjoy!

Light and Bright

This is the home of the owner of Sukha in Amsterdam. She has a gorgeous shop that features much of what she shows in her home. Chunky knits, cotton and pale beautiful wood are shown in every room. So dreamy and casual, I just love it. This is a style of home I could live in....super easy, clean lines and natural fabrics. Typically Nordic and modern in the taste level but with a warmth and comfort that is so appealing.

I can see my own ceramics in a home like this with the organic materials and feeling of the line fitting in so well with this look. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Hats in Decor

Some of the most fun styling I have seen is when hats are used in decor. Naturally they are often placed in the entryway on hooks and are thrown there very naturally...other times they are really used as decor like in the dining room in the picture below. I don't just like them because of what they look like, although they look great...it is more what they represent. It makes me think of being outdoors, being in the sun, rain or even in the cold when you see a warm wool hat as you make your way into the house. It is really about warmth, fun, and style! They give a wonderful, natural feeling to a room and of course they are super practical to have hanging around!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Styling

With Instagram so popular you almost have to be a stylist to get your shots looking their ultimate best. I personally follow lots of photographers and stylists and each photo is like a mini magazine page. So beautiful!! I find bloggers are becoming amazing stylists preparing their homes for shooting photos for their blogs. I really love Dreamy Whites and how she styles and photographs her pictures. I also like to follow Stephanie Somebody and Nicole Herriot for wonderful photos on Instagram. Here are some styling ideas for your next Instagram photo whether it be at the dinner table, coffee shop or a detail in your home......

Enjoy!
