Pretty bright white and light filled Swedish home that has so many great elements. Loving the view from the living room into the dining room and black and white sitting room. The modern kitchen and black and white tile in the bathroom are perfect!
Enjoy!

The East Village loft of designer John Derian was a makeunder project and not a makeover. His desire to keep the original patina of the place is evident in the walls and floors of this former garment factory. Rather than taking the typical approach of removing and replacing the old he has done a fantastic job of lightly restoring and even leaving certain elements that give this loft such character. The antiques and art in the living room are what I really love..

This lovely Victorian cottage is decked out in old pinks, vintage treasures and draped in gorgeous light from the tall windows. Each room has so many unusual and interesting finds that I can not stop looking at the details to see how this effortless styling was created. Some of my favourite parts of this home are the slipper pink chair in the sitting room, the tall lamps on either side of the mirror and the bed in the child's room! So different and fun for a kids room don't you think?
Enjoy!

This loft in the center of Brooklyn was once an old rundown factory but this couple could easily see the potential through the dust and rugged finishing. They incorporated their furniture from Sweden and London mixing with buys from New York. The result is very fun, clean and eclectic set against white walls and the background of the city. Well done!

This adorable cottage looks like it should be on the beach with trails of sand coming in on wet feet! White from floor to ceiling with touches of colour the house has a wonderful relaxed feeling. Things I am loving are the simple sheet thrown over the couch as a slip-cover, the gorgeous beamed ceiling and the pretty grouping of mirrors on one wall and antlers on the other! The kitchen is great with rough wood cupboard doors and open shelving over the counters. Really just perfect..
Enjoy!

There are so many ways to use beautiful and interesting shaped baskets around the house. I just got some new Market Baskets in the shop and I just love all of the different ways you can use them or any basket for that matter. Great for firewood, pillows and extra throws, flowers or for really going to the market (much nicer looking than another recycled bag!). Take a look at some of the inspirations for how to use baskets in your home and go check out the new market baskets at the shop (basket below is in the shop)!
Enjoy!

The gorgeous home (from the latest issue of Est Magazine) of architect and designer Eva van Dongen and Freek Tromp, was once inhabited by two notorious doyennes of the red light district in Amsterdam. No signs of its history is evident in these beautiful and spare rooms filled with light. White furnishings and walls contrast the wide planked dark floors to great effect. What a lovely peaceful space for this young family..
Enjoy!

I am always finding great workspaces that inspire me and I have decided to do a little office refurbishing in my own space. My office is in my home and even though it is very pretty there is way too much furniture going on in there. I am going to have to redo the room to be more efficient and organized. I have files in boxes, samples laid out on the bed in the room (a tempting place to have a nap on long days) and fabric in plastic bags.
I want to do one wall as an inspiration board. I have seen a few good ideas of how to do this simply and easily (check out the idea of creating borders with removable tape). I also want a more beautiful and stylish chair than I have currently and two gorgeous hanging pendant lamps above the desk. I have two barn lamps that I think will look really great.
I have shown you a few offices before (here) but below are a few new photos that I love and that are sure to give me the inspiration I need to get started!
Enjoy!

Two years ago I spent a week in Southampton and I loved it. Our little hotel was not far from the beach and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The waves, the homes along the beach, the sand and the open space was amazing. The town was lovely and the people so kind and easy going! I was dying to see the inside of so many homes as they all looked wonderful as does this home. Built in the "saltbox" style and right on the water this house mixes soft ocean blues with white to create a gorgeous beachy atmosphere..

Beautifully designed home that keeps light flowing with windows all around the house and skylights on the ceiling. A mix of white walls with brick keep it from feeling too cold and the wide planked wood floors add to the warmth. All the fireplaces are double sided to continue the open plan throughout... very interesting use of space and materials I would say..
Enjoy!
