Pins of the Week: Wooden Chairs

The look of these wooden chairs in the dining room and kitchen are really super. I love the pale wood with the black and white contrast. The mix of black and rattan seating or raw wood with black seating it is really so impactful! All of this against stark white walls...so well done.

Have a great weekend!

Black and White Scandinavian Style

Serious chic style in this black and white Scandinavian home with gorgeous moldings and amazing windows. Little pops of color here and there make this a home I could totally live in.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Black, White and Pastel

Love this look with the sharp contrast of black and white with the softness of pastel. Just a touch of pink or grey added into a black and white space or even when dressing up and outfit can change the whole look.  Don't you love these pastel dishes with the black bowls in the collection...really I just need to try this with a few pieces of my own ceramics collection.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Pins of the Week

I am starting a new Friday night series showing you my weekly favourites from Pinterest. I try to pin everyday and I pin everything from fashion and food to the best homes and decor ideas. So reviewing those for a Friday night feature will be great fun for me and you! This week I seem to have been on a black, white and camel pinning extravaganza...well to be honest I tend to pin these colours fairly often....but I found some really gorgeous homes and fashion ideas this week. Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

Isn't this heart sweet! Love the mix of chairs!

Inspiration in White: Industrial Lighting

I was looking for a new light for my bedroom and I came across a great store with the most incredible industrial lighting. Really large vintage lamps that you would find in an old barn or warehouse. As I was looking through Pinterest tonight I saw the same kind of lighting in many kitchens and dining rooms. I just love the look and the impact of these large lights, usually in pairs, in stainless, grey and of course black. They give a great edge to any kitchen or dining room and work with many styles but are really perfect in a modern look....and off the subject of lights...what about that black Smeg fridge! Oh my....

Interiors: Black and White + Brights

Such a cute apartment all done in black and white with pops of bright green and yellow. Even the little garden table in the brick backyard is a bright spot to sit and enjoy an early morning coffee. The best part has got to be the bedroom though....such pretty wallpaper in a leaf and floral pattern and a wonderful bench at the end of the bed styled to perfection! I would love to try one wall of paper in my bedroom as I am feeling ready to change the colour of the room.. What do you think?

Stylish Open Plan Apartment

This wonderful open plan space has lots of great elements. The concrete floor has such a fantastic glossy finish, beautiful beams all around the apartment and white, white everywhere. What could be better! The owners of this apartment in Copenhagen are both in the fashion business and you can see their good taste throughout the space. They have used really perfect classic pieces that will stand the test of time matched with great modern design.

Fresh in Stockholm

Lots of things to love in this Swedish apartment, from the colorful Eames chairs to the cool artwork on the wall. The bedroom is so great with the prints on the walls and the little twinkle lights strung across the them. It feels so nicely styled and really fresh. A nice compact kitchen looks through to the dining room and the living space. Cute little twin bed with the desk...I think I would work and nap in this room quite well!

Enjoy!

Toffee, Black and White

I have posted about how much I love the look of black and white before and I have even talked about how great brown or wood looks with black and white......but toffee...well that is a really beautiful colour. The warmth of this tone...it really is very special...It can be wood, leather, copper, fur, artwork....really the list is endless. Here are some great inspirations.

Hope your pre-Christmas celebrations are going well! We have had parties and guests over so much this past week I feel a bit behind in my own Christmas prep and in my posting too! It is so fun though to have friends and family near us and I feel so grateful for all that I have. How are all of your pre holiday activities going?

Nordic Holiday

These lovely photos are from the home of Skonahem Magazine blogger Anna-Malen. I love the feeling of this home and how such simple looking Christmas decorations can look so good! She has added lights around the armoire and mirror and some twigs in a vase with a few decorations here and there. Have you noticed this year how many Christmas photos have twigs in a vase with decorations on them and mini trees in containers. I would say this is a real trend for this year. She has made her home looks so holiday season cozy with a little fur on the couch or chair and lots of candles. Perfect Nordic Noel!
