I always dreamed of having a log cabin somewhere in the mountains of Quebec but that was not to be. My love of cabin decor however has lived on and this space really has the best of this design. Gorgeous and rustic with all of the modern touches necessary to make it comfortable. A big kitchen with a wonderful adjacent family room. A gorgeous bathroom and a view outside that is sure to relax the mind and cure the soul!
Enjoy!

Check out these pictures of the restaurant Höst by the architects Norm out of Denmark. I love how they used reclaimed wood and woolen blankets to create a warm and inviting environment. Who would want to leave this place? What the designers did was mix the feeling of eating outside on a Scandinavian farmyard with an urban, more minimalist decor. They also produced a line of tableware for the restaurant as well as design custom tables and seating.
The cuisine uses traditional ingredients of Nordic cooking made modern and new. Very much like the design of this wonderful space.
Enjoy!

This is the home of Annabelle Kerslake who is the editor of the on-line magazine Fete. A wonderful open plan space offsetting dark furniture with white and cream. I love the Victorian letter holder that has a card from a photo shoot for the magazine as well as the silver stag head. A bird decal on the wall above vintage books is another of the cool fun elements in this home. The bedroom of Annabelle's daughter is especially cute with the white and pink striped tent over the bed and the ruffled bed cover makes this space perfect for any little girl.
So many beautiful details in this home and I think that is what makes any home so different and special...
Enjoy!

This lovely apartment in Sweden is full of collections, antiques, vintage finds and lots of humour! I really love the stork that you can see in the living room. Take a look at the collection of teapots above the armoires and in the glass case are the collections of sponge pottery and small animals...
Enjoy!

I love the extra details you see in certain homes...you know all the forgotten areas that we don't bother to decorate but in certain homes the decor goes all the way... to the stairway! It is a really area of opportunity because it is usually near the entrance of the home, takes up a large amount of space and can look so cool without spending a lot of money! Just adding some paint or a cool runner can make such a difference in the look of the stairway and can complete add great impact. Take a look at a few that I found for you!
A really cool runner in bright colours adds fun to the all white entry.
Painted blue and cream runner looks so good for a little French look.
A bright orange runner on white but with the added orange stripe up the wall.
Another blue and white painted stair but with a wide stripe.
All white stairway is always good!
French numbers! Love it...
Pretty pale blue..
Numbers, numbers..
Enjoy!

This farmhouse located in upstate New York was first featured on Decor 8 (love Holly's blog. Just bought her book) for Rue Magazine. The photographer Emily Gilbert (first of all she is amazing) really captured the spirit of the family that lives here...of course this type of home is really the kind that I love.. vintage collections (the zinc watering cans are great) and a mix of various styles that together create a wonderful and comfortable space.
Enjoy!

This is the home of actors Corbin Bernsen and Amanda Pays. A super comfortable and eclectic home that the couple, along with their four boys, have decorated themselves. Vintage flea market finds mix with new items from Pottery Barn and West Elm.
I really love the kitchen with the reclaimed barn wood cupboards and the metal school chairs. The concrete counters look fantastic as do the lights and backsplash tiles from Morocco.
Great hits of colour throughout the home make it a really cozy space..
Enjoy!

Beautiful home in Milan with amazing skylights and floor to ceiling windows that reflect white washed wood ceilings and floors. The beautiful doors in the living area lead to a large terrace outside that is really a wonderful place for family or entertaining. Things I am loving: Shots of colour in the Smeg fridge and bright books and the tulip table and chairs in the dining room. Also loving the sink on the wooden shelf in the bathroom! Isn't that perfect for a smaller space...
Enjoy!

This is the home of the wonderful Swedish stylist and blogger Lotta Agaton. She clearly has the most amazing personal style and her home reflects that completely. It is incredibly simple but each piece is so interesting within the space...black and white and a mix of textures and materials. Love it!
Go and see her new website by the way. So inspiring!!
Enjoy!

I love this style of decor and show it fairly often on the blog. So beautiful with the grain sack chair, the slip covered chairs in the dining room and the canopy over the bed. All gorgeous touches that make this home really special. It is so easy to add a few of these elements into a home and really change the look. Of course having a Mora clock in the entry and the gorgeous layered console table are also great ways to get the French Country look!
Enjoy!
