I spy Eames side chairs and Charles & Ray Eames Lounge chair and ottoman (15% off with MYSCAN). I love the black and white photography and the 'hug me' cushion, any idea where this is from?! But most of all I'm coveting the dressing room. My new year plan is to create a great walk in wardrobe and dressing area and this will be part of the moodboard - I think it's the casual meets orderly approach I like.
What are your home projects for the new year?

I'm also looking for gorgeous matching bedding; the pretty yellow Dotty bedding from Ferm Living or the 'deer' bedding from By Nord. Hmm. What do you think? Or perhaps another tip?! One thing I have definitely decided on is the Inke Heiland April tree for their wall, so pretty!
PS This is not a sponsored post, I just loved this little room and had to share the space and my ideas :)
PPS For those of you more interested in big people things - how about this fab online shop 'rock n roll London' for vintage statement pieces in brass and metallics where 'more is more'?!
A 50's Danish home with Ferm Living

PS Wood panelling has enjoyed a bit of a revival in 2012. My parents home was built in the 1950's and I remember having a wood panel wall on one side of the dining room and exposed brick on the other which looked incredibly cool. Though, when my man and I moved into our house we found the extensive amount of wood panelling made it a little to dark, and a lick of white paint has brightened up the entire space. Hmmm. I'm torn.
What are your thoughts - wood panelling in your home, do or don't?

When will you start decorating this year? Will you go all out or a few light touches here and there?
PS Thank you all for your lovely comments on my dining area yesterday you put a big smile on my face! Many of you commented on the sheepskin rugs and the good news is the two white ones are the LUDDE sheepskin from IKEA! :)

I also have a huuuuge design crush on any lighting by Tom Dixon and am so envious to see they have his lights throughout. My absolute number one light is the CopperShade which they have over the dining table, spot on!
Right, I'm off to enjoy my last few hours of London over a bacon butty and a cup of tea...yay!
Have a lovely evening and happy halloween!
And as always, let me know your thoughts! x
Don't mention the C word but...
Monday 1 October 2012
Hej hej! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Do you know what I did? Bought my first Christmas present (eeek did I just mention the C word?!) - yes really! And I'm not even an organised person. I have a 4 and 2 year old and I promised myself not to have another December like the last one so this year I'm going to buy my pressies from online shops - like my wonderful sponsors - L'Affiche Moderne and LET LIV. And like the Sweden based Artilleriet, in case you need any encouragement, here are Artilleriet's inspiration images:

A show of hands for those who'd be happy to receive a present from this shop please?!
Do you have any great tips for some 'to cool for school' online Christmas shopping tips?
PS although I mentioned the C word I have made a vow to myself that I will not actually post any Christmas pictures until at least mid November - son don't worry!
PPS this is not a sponsored post I just love the pretty pictures :)

Retro with a contemporary twist
Thursday 6 September 2012
Bold patterned wallpapers with motifs such as dogs wearing hats are at the centre of Swedish designer
Lisa Bengtsson's fabulous designs. And they are show cased with panache in her recently sold apartment here in Sweden, which features the 'Family Wallpaper' in the kitchen and the 'Tillsammans Wallpaper' in the kids room and sitting room. I love her mix of old and new interior style too, note the vintage lockers in the childrens bedroom, the industrial style coffee table and the green 'kakelugn'.

The great news is that Lisa's products can be bought in La Maison D'Anna G's shiny new webshop (approach with caution and the day after payday - you will want everything in the shop...).
Is there a particular wallpaper of Lisa's you could see in your home? Or do you prefer a more simple / clean look? Personally I think the 'Tilsammans' one is so much fun, just need to find a space for it and then convince my man. Hmmm, could take a while!
