The lovely, relaxed home of a fashion designer

Loving that it's Friday already! My home has been turned upside down due to a shoot in my office with friend and stylist Gen of The Youngsters. I'm feeling the weekend vibe all the same, which is why I'm inviting you to step inside the lovely, relaxed home of Domino magazine's cover star Ulla Johnson today. Born and raised in Manhattan, Ulla Johnson lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children and runs a successful clothing line with an eponymous name featuring beautiful custom prints, intricate embroideries and fine tailoring.  Her home has been decorated using light colours and warm textures and furnished with vintage finds from New York as well as far flung places. Enjoy!

What a lovely family home, don't you think? And just how adorable is her little girl!

A few tips on where to find similar items- sitting room: sofa from CISCO Brothers, Chandelier, source a beautiful Beni Ourain rug, moroccan wedding cushion, sheepskin throw.  Dining room - Copenhague table. Pick-up a mid-century chest-of-drawers here.

Ulla's clothes are from her lovely clothing line. 

See a full interview with Ulla over at Domino magazine.

Pia Ulin, the talented photographer behind this shoot hales from Sweden but is also Brooklyn based. I've featured quite a few homes captured by her before - including Jessica De Ruiter's fabulous LA home, a cool, calm and collected Danish home and that Gotland retreat! Yup, she's got that knack....

Right, better get on with that shoot I was talking about...

Have a great one and see you Monday! 

PS I love the idea of using a Kimono as styling. I think this one is perfect for rooms with dark blue walls - so pretty.  Oh and perhaps this one rocking Saturday night!

Beautiful linen in a dreamy Norwegian home

Linen. Oh how I love linen. Especially the natural stone washed variety seen in so many homes right now. Whether draped over the sofa, on a headboard, a table or of course on the bed, it immediately softens the look of a room and adds a wistful, romantic touch. Take these dreamy inspiration images created by linen merchants Hale Mercantile Co created in collaboration with Vintage Piken - who's cosy Norwegian home I once also featured here). They make me want to cover my entire home in soft linen - how about you?! 

Hale Mercantile Co found via Vintage Piken with thanks

Oh so lovely, don't you think?

All the linen is available at Hale Mercantile Co.

And if you have time today, definitely pour yourself a glass of something cool and take a browse through the vintage piken blog - I love how on the 'about' page it says: 'words are scarce on this blog - please enjoy the silence.' We will, oh we will! 

More Norwegian homes here.
 
Have a lovely, *peaceful* day! 

PS this is not a sponsored post - I just thought the images were too lovely not to share!
