Pale Grey with Modern Vintage

Oh this is such a great little space! It is one of those homes that when I go to write the title of my post I could use a list of words because it is such a mix of styles! Modern, vintage touches, a little shabby thrown in, industrial....and it is all good together. I love the light in the dining room and the pretty colour and cabinets in the kitchen. The super shiny floors are amazing and the bedroom looks so dreamy! I have been seeing a lot of this style of flooring similar to what is in the bathroom and in the entry. I showed it in a bathroom post here...really looks great.

Enjoy!

Super Apartment in Sweden

Such a cute apartment in Sweden with wonderful and interesting details! The kitchen is so great with the high back splash of subway tile and the eat-in area. I love the hanging lights throughout the apartment...gives it a modern feel for not too high a cost....so easy to add these to any home. Great floors boards and what about that incredible wallpaper! I just love the look of it in an all white home..with that wonderful wall of colour in the dining room. The mix of chairs and the shot of green to coordinate with the wall is really fun. I love to add a bit of the unexpected in to a room and I find that is a bit of what we see in this apartment....

Enjoy!

Hudson Valley Farmhouse

This 19th century farmhouse located at the foot of the Catskills was given a wonderful renovation into a simple, open, family friendly home. Wonderfully spacious with fun little nooks and cozy spots to curl up all done in varying shades of white and grey. Vintage pieces combine so beautifully with new and modern items all with clean lines and a distinctive Scandinavian feeling. The living room is one of my favourite rooms...I really like the white fireplace..I have never seen one like that! I also really love the camp cots as window bench..so cute and a great place to take a nap or read. Very nicely done!!

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!

Simple Beauty

Well it is back to work tomorrow...hope you had a lovely weekend! I had a great one...today my daughter and I went to the Botanical Gardens in Montreal and saw the International Competition of Living Sculptures called Mosaicultures. Really it is beyond words..I will put up a couple of pictures tomorrow but if you are following me on Instagram you can see a photo on my feed here..

Now lets take a look at this wonderful, simple home that has some great details...first take a look at the wood floor! Love the wide planks on the ceiling as well and the bathroom has a super looking wood counter. Not sure it would be that easy to take care of but it looks great. I also like the pale green on the outside windows. Very soft and fits with the style of home and the surroundings very well don't you think?

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Bathrooms

You know what..I have never done a post about bathroom inspiration....at least I could not find one! I am going to redo my bathroom this winter and I am looking for some new ideas. I am pretty sure how I want it to look with grey and white tones and a grey wood vanity with a marble countertop, but I love looking for fresh ideas and there are so many gorgeous bathrooms on Pinterest. I wish I had a huge space but I have a rather small main bathroom so it will need to make a statement! It is so fun to have a big tub and a walk in shower like some of the photos below. So dreamy and romantic aren't they? What would your dream bathroom look like?

Enjoy!

Danish Delight

Beautiful summer house in the Danish countryside totally redone in gorgeous white decor. So many cute details like the Smeg fridge, the collection of jars and bowls on the kitchen shelves and the pretty purple accents throughout the house. The balcony is sooo sweet with the lamps and comfy relaxing spot with lots of cushions. I mean other than the little bit of an accent this is really a white on white home from floor to ceiling....but with the different textures and varying whites it feels really fresh I think. 

Take a look at homes with Danish design HERE and HERE....

Enjoy!

Pretty Pastels

I am really crushing on all the pastel colours I see on Pinterest these days! So great in a white room for a bit of subtle contrast and mixing all of the different pastel colours together looks so great. I especially like the brighter yellow with the pale green and pink. I have a very pale blue bedroom with neutral tones and white and I really love the softness of the look but it is really the only room I have a bit of pastel in my house. It would be simple to add though in a table or a lamp and I think it would pick up the look of the room especially if you keep it to a modern look. Of course pastel and shabby chic go together and always look great but shown as it is below is very new and fresh!

Enjoy!

Black and White Scandinavian

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!

Swedish History

This great Swedish apartment is located in a building over 100 years old. Wonderful open plan and meticulously renovated it really looks like a wonderful place to live. Decorated in a young and fun style with little touches of red throughout to give a pop of color. I really love the lamps over the dining room table and the cool floor lamp in the living room.

I would love to visit Sweden again and really get to see some of the country. I went for work once and flew in and out so quickly that all I saw was the inside of the office and the train ride to and from the airport. I loved the people I met though and I feel a real connection to the Swedish style. Someday..

Enjoy!
