Swedish Interior

This lovely Swedish home has an unusual mix of colour with the brown and white. There are wonderful wood accents but the brown against the white is a great contrast. Not something I would do in my home..I prefer wood with white alone..but still very beautiful. Don't you love the living room fireplace! So gorgeous..really a very special piece that adds great impact to the room. I also love the moldings in the living room and dining room...The kitchen is super modern but fits well with this mix of vintage and modern finds. Here are a couple of other Swedish homes here and here.

Enjoy!

In the Details..

Such a pretty apartment with gorgeous fir floors and incredible moldings....this century old apartment has all the details to make it special. I especially like the kitchen which has a great modern light fixture ( I had never seen these fixtures with a bit of color) and love, love the map on the wall. They always looks so good used in home decor (see more examples of it HERE)! I also like the black and white striped carpet on the floor. I added a stripe carpet to my living room and it adds wonderful texture to the space. Nice neutrals with a pop of colour here and there make this a fun little apartment.

Enjoy!

Swedish Home and Garden

This house in Sweden has such a great interior but the exterior is really a special. The house is over a hundred years old and nicely renovated but it is clear the owner has a really green thumb because the grounds and gardens are just lovely! I am loving the greenhouse with the table set for company and the gazebo near the pool area is so great...not sure about having a duck in my pool but it makes for wonderful styling of the photo!! Swedish style through and through this home with pretty pale white washed floors and white couches...Have a great weekend!

White in Sweden

This is such a great apartment in Sweden. All white with many of the traditional Swedish touches....gorgeous tiled fireplace, all white wood floors and wonderful moldings. There are several features I really like in this apartment and the first is that every room is off the central hallway. I also love the barn doors that separate the office and living room and did you see that cool trompe l'oeil of the door. Soo cute. The oddly shaped kitchen has also been well done and did you see that interesting fan over the stove? That is new for me I have never seen anything like it! Of course I like Swedish style so much and have blogged about it many times. Here are a couple of other posts with Swedish apartments HERE and HERE...

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Kids Rooms

When my daughter was growing up we went through many decor changes in her bedroom. She would get tired of the decor at about the same time I would and I pretty much let her have her way when it came to picking colours and decor after about the age of 7 (just some small help from mom). The one difference for her was she loved colour..of course! Don't all little girls love colour? So her room went from yellow, to pale pink (the princess phase), to blue, to pink again (her bohemian phase) and now to...you guessed it...white! Now, at 19, she loves all white and has done up her room in an industrial style with white, black and natural. I love it and it looks great with the rest of the house. I prefer white rooms even for young kids because I think there is so much you can do with colour in the accessories. Here are a few that I really like in white and some great bright colours...

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!

Interiors: Great Design

I was doing my usual read of one of my favourite blogs, Decor 8, and I happened to see a photo that led me to the website of Piet-Jan van den Kommer who is a wonderful designer of furniture and interiors in the Netherlands. I simply adore the work I see in his photos. Very simple designs made with wonderful materials like concrete, steel, stone and leather, that together create such beauty...wow really...look at how the materials are mixed in this design.. and I especially love the bathroom vanity. So much space and the counter is just beautiful...well done!

Here are a couple of other designers that are wonderful to follow..ONE and TWO..

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!

Modern and Simple

Gorgeous modern home that keeps it really simple and clean. This place really sticks to the essentials with no fluff at all. The square lines throughout the apartment are broken with the three round fixtures above the dining room table....so cool....as well as the round tables in the living room. It is really clever how view is shown to its best advantage with furniture placement and the use of warm woods throughout this home keep it from getting too sterile! I do think a little art on the walls would add to the space but I still really like the simple beauty of this space...Here a couple of other modern spaces you might like HERE and HERE..

Enjoy!
