White rustic /shabby chic home with modern surprises

Hej and happy Friday! Today I love this home. Of course cos it's white, yes. (Tell me honestly, do I publish too many white homes?! I think maybe I do..:). But also because it's full of surprises. At a distance it looks like a classic white rustic /shabby chic space but look closer and there are lots of gems. From vintage industrial Tolix stools, to deco chairs and modern bulb lighting. And that wonderful huge white gilded chair.

A beautiful, white, light and airy Australian cottage

I loooove this dreamy Australian cottage today. Pastels, muted tones and natural wood against a pristine white backdrop. A few modern touches and beautiful white panelling throughout. So pretty, light and airy. Yes please!

A serene, white home with vintage pieces

Morning! I must say, I feel like a different person this morning after my wonderful weekend at Varberg Asia Spa. If you're in need of some R&R I could seriously recommend this incredible spa in Varberg, Halland on the Swedish West coast (do the over night package!). As a result, here's a beautiful, white, serene home from the UK which perfectly fits my mood this Monday morning. I love the vintage touches and Scandinavian feel (of course!).  I recognise the kitchen from the Delicious Miss Dahl cookery show featuring former model Sophie Dahl.

Via French By Design with thanks!

Oooh to sit on one of those chaise longue's in this day room and relax with a magazine in the sun light. IKEA's EKTORP chaise longue is like this. Wonderful!

PS - Thank you so much to Gosia from the wonderful blog Majology for nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award, you've made my day!

Have a lovely day!

Props and trading house of a mid century collector

And today for something completely different...the home and temprary showroom of 1900 - 1950's collector Alketas Pazis in Athens, Greece. For those of you who love mid-century collector items, I think this home and props and trading house is breathtaking!

A lovely minimalist converted soap factory loft in New York

Morning! hope you had a lovely weekend?! Me, I am going to need more than just a caffe latte to recover. Just soooo tired! The one thing that might help though is looking at this beautiful minimalist New York apartment / work space of architect Elizabeth Roberts in an old soap and wax factory. I love that you can work one minute and crawl into bed the next. Just what I need with minus nine outside!

Have a lovely day!

The pretty London home of Parma Lilic owner

This London home of Janie Jackson, owner of shop Parma Lilac is just so beautiful *sigh*. So simple, so light, so me! And I love the photographic style.

Pictures: Via Saint Honore

I remember reading an article about how to produce this type of effect with a camera, and one way is to cover the lens with a pair of thin denier tights, yes, I know! Worth a try anyway?! Unless you know of a slightly more modern app?

Happy Monday by the way. I hope you had a lovely weekend?!

Antwerp home with a beautiful flow of light

It's Friiiiiiday - woop woop!! And Friday deserves to be celebrated with an extra special home to drool over throughout the weekend! This Antwerp home featured in Milk Magazine belongs to Melanie Ireland founder of children's clothing company Simple Kids. When they first bought the house they hired an architect (Vincent Van Duysen) to knock through walls for a lovely flow of light. I also love how they have treated the floors and filled the fireplace full of magazines! A beeeeautiful home!

Have a lovely weekend, any great plans?! And see you Monday!
