Soft and Romantic apartment

post

I read about this apartment on Cherry Blossom blog (really nice blog by the way, you should have a look if you don’t know about it yet), and I thought I should share it with you. I think there is a real romantic vibe going on in this apartment, not too much, just about the right amount. I like the colors and vintage items. Cherry Blossom Blog described the kitchen color as Acne-inspired, I think that’s so true. Even though it’s not a color I would pick for my kitchen, I think here it fits really well, it gives the room a warm and cozy feeling. The apartment itself is from 1930, with nice ceiling details and herringbone floors.

Mid Century Apartment

post

Oh, how I love the way the built houses around a century ago… This apartment is filled with a stylish and light-filled atmosphere, provided by the large windows. And what is better than modern furniture and lighting to combine these old flooring and walls with ? I would move here in a second.

Another Ceramic Candlestick by Marie Dessuant

post

I really like it when an object serves multiple functionalities. If, more particularly, that object serves as a hiding place for small things, I’m getting even more enthusiastic! Another Ceramic Candlestick by Marie Dessuant is a product like that. It’s a candle holder, which can serve as a storage box as well. It comes in three different sizes and I think it’s gorgeous ! I don’t know about you guys, but I keep finding small things in my house that I can’t find a place for ( I think I need some candle-stick-hiding-places).

Light filled penthouse with wood beams

post

I bumped into this light filled appartement (penthouse) the other day. Who wouldn’t want to live here ? I love the fact that part of the construction is shown and this is really brought to the attention by keeping all walls white. The colored objects and prints accentuate the white walls and the many lines they make throughout the apartment and make it a vibrant place to live.

Saana Ja Olli – new collection

post

I was happy to notice Saana Ja Olli has a new collection. The print is called maailman synty, which means “The Birth of the world”, inspired by the age old creation myths and the rich Finnish wall rug tradition. I think it’s definitly a pretty and stylish print. I’m also happily surprised that they offer storage baskets now as well, I’m always a big fan of those.

Home of Hanne Berzant

post

This is the home of Hanne Berzant, designer and owner of By Nord. These pictures give me a winter feeling, but at the same time, they beam warmth and coziness. Actually  I think many of the By Nord products also have this style. You can see that the owner of the house has a great sense of Nordic aesthetics. She lives in this big, light apartment with her husband and three girls. All pictures from here, as seen on Design Attractor.

Tray Basket by Norm. Design

post

When in an design shop, I always bump into the Bottle Grinder from Menu, designed by the talented Norm. Design. I love its softness and natural feeling and I always want to buy it (maybe one day I will just go ahead and do it). Now I noticed Norm. Design made a Tray Basket, that has the same look and feel. Other than the design, I can really appreciate its versatility. You can use it in the kitchen, living room, garden or to take with you to a picnic. As I mentioned in a previous post, I love it when an item serves multiple purposes. In a consumer world like we live in today, I think those are the items we can truly appreciate.

Modern Nomad House

post

Today I wanted to show you this modern nomad house. It’s not usually the style I like for a home, but this one has such a great balance I’m drawn to it. It has so many gorgous details around the house, which makes it a very special place. I think you have to be really carfull with the colors, it can be easily too much, but here the balance is perfect. The big windows bring in a lot of light, which reflects on all the different colors and materials. This home was featured in Elle Decoration, found on 79 ideas. The pictures are taken by Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer.

Raw inspiration from Olsson and Jensen

post

This morning I’m very inspired by these pictures of Olsson and Jensen. They combine raw materials with vintage and some new items which gives a rustic effect to the interior. I think it’s always nice to have a combination of old and new in the house, it gives a home it’s own character and it instantly becomes so much more personal. To me, that’s what a home has to have, those personal elements, that make it your own.
