Stunning earthy interiors inspired by nature

I came across this set of earthy, atmospheric interiors packed with antiques and treasured finds in Debi Treloar's portfolio and was delighted to discover they were a selection taken from a book! I can tell you there was one little light on in Malmö last night where a certain blogger was busy pouring over The Natural Home by Swedish stylist Hans Blomquist. Think natural textures such as wood, linen, cotton and seagrass against a backdrop of white, dark brooding colours, exposed brick and concrete. Let's take a peek....

I'm in interior heaven! I love the creative / artistic element in all these images.

Is this your kind of style? 

Get the look: LOHALS rug, linen pillow covers in muted tones, vintage architects chair (*want*!), tin pen / paintbrush pot, try this shop for vintage industrial pendants and this fab wall lamp,  I love this rare vintage desk lamp. vintage haberdashery chest (beautiful!).

Keep an eye out for Debi's latest projects over here on her blog or instagram (love her work!).

A few other links I love today: 

Grace Bonney is right - there's something about the sound of pen on paper that makes this calligraphy clip captivating (are you learning yet?).

The plants around this pool.  And this Pilea plant.

Minimal, bohemian kitchen love.

Chilli garlic sweet potato fries. So simple (we're talking three ingredients!), yet so good!

The outdoor space that's stealing my Pinterest board show.

Back tomorrow with a fab home tour! See you then.....

A dreamy cottage (to rent!) in South East England

Do you have any plans for Easter? We've just booked to go to London for the weekend to visit my parents and sister, so excited! This time last year we were in t-shirts (yes, I know this is perfectly normal for some of you (lucky people!), but for us that was kind of a big deal!). But when the sun shines there's no place I'd rather be. If you're tempted to try your luck with the British weather, how about staying at The White Cabin in the ancient village of Winchelsea in East Sussex, South East England? I'm loving the bright, open A-frame ceiling and rustic / industrial touches. Such a perfect base for long walks, pub lunches and paddles at Winchelsea beach? And if the rain comes down, you've the perfect excuse to stay indoors too!

The White Cabin, Big Cottage Company. Found via Style Files with thanks.

Lovely! I think my favourite touch is the reclaimed kitchen cabinet doors. The look reminds me of one of the Hudson Farmhouse in my book. The interior decorator had bought a disused barn and used some of the wood to create cladding and handmade furniture for the house. So fab!

How about you?

Get the look: source industrial pendant lights here, Black scissor wall light. Try your local flee market for a decorator's ladder. Buy linen by the yard.

I've featured several homes like this in the past. If this is your kind of style you might just want to take a tour of a white home packed with antiques and a beautiful cottage by the sea (also available for rent). Or to make a morning of it - how about my 'summer cottage' and 'swedish cottage' archives?!

I've got a bit of a busy day ahead, but before I rush off  I wanted to leave you with this short video clip - *smile*.

Have a lovely day!
