Making Old Look New

The home of interior designer Hilary Robertson is all pale greys and pastels...very feminine with great vintage and modern finds. So incredibly chic and well put together this home in Brooklyn has a very individual touch brought together with a very sharp eye for design...love this place!

Enjoy!

Raw and Refined

You may have seen a few of these photos from Daniella Witte's apartment on Pinterest or Tumblr but I myself had never seen the whole home until today. Daniella is a photographer and her keen eye is clearly evident here in her own space. An industrial style that manages to feel very refined by combining rough surfaces with cozy furs, black and grey with warm woods.

Vintage Dream

I have so many blogs I visit regularly and they vary so much, going from modern Swedish blogs to French country blogs by wonderful bloggers in the US. (see my list on the first page to visit other blogs I love) One blog I have really admired is lille vildand at lillevildand.blogspot.no. The wonderful home of Jannicke, that is featured in most of the posts is so beautiful and the use of white throughout is so well done!  Take a look at this photos and go and take a look at this blog...

Inspiration in White - Chairs

Okay I am having a "chair" moment....or a "seating" moment actually. I am working on a project and am redoing some chairs and I am seriously obsessed with finding the right shape chair and the right fabric. I have been looking at chair after chair and I really love the old slipper chairs but can not find an old one to redo. I am also loving daybeds but did not find one of those either but found a chaise longue instead that has a similar look. I am having it redone now and will post the results when it is done. I have used some of the photos below for inspiration...

 

Enjoy!

Gingerbread House

I love this Gingerbread house in Sweden. The lovely intricate carvings on the exterior make this a storybook house that is warm and welcoming! The interior of the home has very light wall paper in many rooms that just adds to its charm!

Modern Barn

When I am doing research for this blog I look at a lot of houses of all different types from modern to vintage style and from barn to loft. Sometimes I come across a place that is done so well for the style and this is one of those houses. An old barn converted into a home with all of the modern conveniences but with all of the charm kept intact. From the interior to the gardens and pool area outside it is the perfect modern barn style home decorated with simple furnishes that allow the architecture and finishings within the home to shine.

Enjoy!

Vintage Country Home

This lovely country home is just full of vintage flea market finds! This couple put their collection of fun and cozy pieces together over many years....I love to see a room build over time when you find just that right item to go in a particular spot in a room....

 

Enjoy!
