Fashionable Home

This is the home of Swedish fashion designer Naja Munthe. Again, the simplicity of the furnishings and colour palette are perfect. Some things that really jump out at me as great ideas are the low hanging pendant lights over the coffee table as well as the glass panelled windows that create the entry into the dining room! Stunning...I also love the wall of books in the dining room. Very original home.

Enjoy!

Danish Style

This cool loft in Copenhagen really sums up the Danish style for me. Clean lines, natural materials, modern but still with a warmth that comes through the textures used throughout the loft. Really gorgeous..

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Olive Trees & Myrtles

I am not a person that has a lot of house plants in my home but I do love the look of olive trees and myrtles in decor. I am always finding photos that inspire me and they often have one of these plants in among the vintage decor. I do have a couple of myrtles in my home and since I find them so beautiful I thought I would share a few....

Enjoy!

Loving these: Cloches

My house is filled with different glass domes or cloche as we say in French and I really have a lot of fun with them. I put all sorts of things under them from shells to plants and old books and nests. 

This one below is from the table in the shop this past month and I had filled it with vintage silver. I set the table with my ceramics as well.

Beautifully done with the ink and quill.

Pretty with some sheet music rolled inside..

This from Atelier de Campagne. Go visit their Facebook page for great ideas..

  

I am considering buying some for the shop with some pretty wood or mercury glass stands like these below. What do you think?....Isn't the jewellery gorgeous as well??

 

Enjoy!

Interiors: Layers of Grey and White

I have posted about my love for grey before but it is a love affair that continues so I need to share again....grey is not only perfect in the home but I love to wear grey as well. I have so many grey sweaters that my closet looks frankly ridiculous. (does anyone need that many grey sweaters). Grey, black, beige and white....pretty much like my decor. I love the depth of grey and how mixing different greys can look in a room. It is like white in the way that layers of different whites in a room can have so much impact. Take a look at a few spaces layered in grey and a few grey outfits as well....

 Enjoy!

Creamy Traditional Cottage

What really strikes me about this lovely traditional home in the English countryside is the wall colour. I love this shade of white! I have a colour like this in my home and it can look anywhere from very white to creamy yellow depending on the room and the time of day (the paint is Mayonnaise from Benjamin Moore). I painted the ceiling white and the moldings a different white (but with a glossy paint) and this plays off the wall colour beautifully. A touch of black here and there to anchor the room and you have a great looking space like the one below...

Enjoy!

Elegantly Styled Loft

The loft of Wolfgang Behnken, creative director at Young & Rubicam, is a beautifully elegant space. Most rooms are very simple with minimal furnishings but nothing is done without thought. Each piece is part of his many collections that not only include furnishings but books and art as well. The library is full and disordered but he insists that he knows where each book is and that he can easily find what he is looking for...a true artist himself I think....

Enjoy!

Interior: Black and White

This beautiful fisherman's cottage, totally decorated in black and white, is currently owned by an interior designer and an architect. They took this once run down beauty and completely renovated inside and out and newly landscaped the surrounding land as well to take advantage of the garden as much as possible. New furnishings combine with antiques and found objects to create a warm and inviting home for this couple. I love the relaxed feeling in this home...simple, classic and a great place to invite family and friends...

Enjoy!

Antique Mixes with Modern Farmhouse

This 19th century farmhouse is owned by the interior designer Darryl Carter. Not only did he design all of the interiors but many of the individual pieces of furniture and lamps as well. A wonderful clean space all dressed in neutrals with a mix of modern, antiques and rustic farmhouse pieces the flow of each room works beautifully!

Paola Navone Open Bedroom

I have shown this space before but never the bedroom portion of this incredible home of Paola Navone! I love how it is completely open to the rest of the home so you can see the dining room and kitchen from the bedroom.  The sink and bath are also open to the rest of the bedroom. Something you would have to get used to for sure however the room is really beautiful!

Enjoy!
