Periodic table theme

post
12-11-2012

Giving a character to a home, and making a house your home, means adding personal elements to it, showing who you are and what you´re passionate about. I have a feeling the owner of this apartment has something with Chemistry, as this was used as a theme to decorate. I really like it, it’s different and graphical. This and the pretty furniture aside, I’m a big fan of the bricks showing in the kitchen as well.

Paper Pot – Tissue Holder

post
08-11-2012

I have always been bothered by the cardboard tissue boxes around the house. It’s always handy to have some tissues by hand, but it’s always so ugly inside the house, despite efforts of some brands trying to make the cardboard box more pleasing. This design, the paper pot, is the ideal solution for this problem. It’s elegant, it has a nice design and comes in different colors. You can either put tissues in it, or mount a toilet roll inside. I wouldn’t mind putting this baby next to my bed for the winter colds, that’s for sure.

Soft and Romantic apartment

post
07-11-2012

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.

Light filled penthouse with wood beams

post
03-11-2012

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.

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
31-10-2012

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
30-10-2012

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.

By Nord Catalogue

post
23-10-2012

A By Nord pillow is on my list already for a while now, but just recently I had a look in their Fall- Winter catalogue, and I was very impressed. I think my favorite would still be the printed pillow cases with the winter animals. To me this is very Christmassy (it’s very early to think about this I know) and it gives the ultimate winter feeling. But first, let’s enjoy fall a little more!

Santorini Lamps by Sputnik

post

I bumped into these Santorini Lamps by Sputnik on Mocoloco today, and I think they are quit interesting. You can change the look and feel of the lamp according to your wishes.
The lamps consist of a cylindric glass structure and four interchangeable wood pieces, which allow you to directly control the light to your desire, creating numerous forms and light combinations.
Have a nice week everyone !
