Vintage Industrial Mix

This former country store was transformed into a very interesting home for this lovely Swedish family since 2008. They loved the fact that it was large, unusual and quirky and I have to agree! So quirky and certainly charming as well. I would say it is still a work in progress but is full of so much potential. They have a wonderful mix of industrial and vintage styles with a lot of Swedish style thrown in which we all know I love!

Enjoy!

Festive Home + Entertaining

I love this video on entertaining from Kinfolk Magazine and West Elm. So pretty and some great recipe ideas as well. (I don't know about you but I have not stopped eating for the past four days!) I have also included some lovely photos from Kinfolk magazine. I love the styling and the photography from this magazine.

Christmas in Little Italy

This swim wear designers beautiful loft in Little Italy in New York ( from Rue Magazine) is full of fun and quirky details that really give this home so much charm. I love the vintage finds combined with contemporary pieces making it such a personal space. The Christmas decor with branches by the fireplace and in the dining room add real drama to the loft and the garland hung throughout adds warmth. 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Christmas Tables

I am starting to think about how I will do my table this year for Christmas Day when the family comes over. I always do an all white table (of course) but this year I really want to add something different. I am not sure what that will be ( I will take a picture so you can see what I decide) but I want to add red or bring plants instead of flowers onto the table. Anyway, I have been looking for inspiration and I thought I would share with you what I found.

Enjoy!

Light Filled Studio

A former barn this property has been converted into a studio for photography. I have often seen these images on tumblr and absolutely loved them. There seems to be such a relaxing feeling to this location and it would make a wonderful spot for a full time home!

Enjoy!

French Country Christmas

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse in France is the perfect backdrop to an all White Christmas. Lovely architectural details such as the paneled walls and beamed ceilings are well paired with the furnishings and accessories in the home. The sparkle of candlelight against the mirrors and the glass add warmth to this elegant setting. What a wonderful home to celebrate the season! Love it..

Enjoy!

Lonny- Soho Loft

This gorgeous loft in Soho was designed by Jarlath Mellett a former clothing designer. Mellet says he approached the design of this loft from a fashion standpoint paying close attention to fabrics and even the stitching details. Using a mix of vintage and modern pieces and mixing wonderful textures make this space feel like it was put together over many years. Keeping to neutral tones the designer was going for an earthy and romantic feel and I think he achieved it!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Holiday Doors and Windows

I love these windows and doors (and a couple of blackboards ) with a beautiful touch of green in a wreath or a bunch of pine boughs. It is so easy and fun to add a touch of the holidays with a wreath hung indoors or outside. Add a bow, some pine cones and a few berries and voila! So many creative folks out there!

 

Enjoy!

A Twist on Traditional

This gorgeous home has a very traditional style but is made new with modern and vintage furnishings. This is such a good example of mixing styles in the right way and creating a very warm and inviting space. I really love the pantry space near the stairs with a hit of red and the rough tiles and table. I also think the kitchen are is so well done alternating the modern counters with barn lights and table. A fabulous outdoor space is an added bonus for sure!

Enjoy!
