Raw wood dining

Happy Monday! No room in the house is more important at Christmas than the kitchen. A family friend calls the kitchen 'The Engine' room! Here's a little inspiration from beautiful spaces with raw wood and beautiful lamps to get your home ready for evenings in with friends and family!

Have a lovely christmassy weekend!

This beautiful home all ready for Christmas is in Puglia, Italy where I went for a great friend's wedding last year. Such a lovely region, if you ever go stay in a trulli (like this!).

Copenhagen apartment true to it's heritage

Hej hej! This morning I wanted to share Frederik Nellemanns apartment with you. It's full of so many interesting pieces. 250 metres squared in Copenhagen filled with Danish design classics. My favourite room is the bedroom which is light and airy and has a raw wood desk - just so lovely.

Tomten latté time. Grrrr! Why did I ever get started on those? I'll be the size of a house before Christmas!

New year shopping inspiration

Aaaa such a lovely white and wood room. It feels like 2012 is a lifetime away although it's in a mere 3 weeks. Perhaps that's because we have to wait until then for the RAFT collection at Bodie & Fou.

Glamping guide to skiiing

Snow was forecasted last night here, but alas, when I woke there were no pretty white dustings of snow to be seen. However all is not lost. I can mentally transport myself to this wonderful Whitepod in Switzerland instead!

I love the vintage skis on the wall, something to add to the inspiration I posted a few weeks ago here?
Have a cosy morning!

Home with a touch of mid-century Danish

Hejsan hejsan! There's a freezing cold wind rattling at the windows here this morning. So, I thought we could transport ourselves to California (nice thought huh?!) and the home of Morgan Satterfield of The Brick House who has taken inspiration from Danish design among other things.

Pictures: Morgan Satterfield

Not my usual style but I do love the neutral and minimalism and the quirky paintings, and of course the mid-century Danish touch. what do you think?  To see more pictures and a complete interview click here.

PS I'm considering buying my little girls a dolls house for Christmas but after seeing Morgan's home-made one I feel nothing else can compete....you must check it out here!

A rural retreat in Jutland, Denmark

Oj oj oj! (as they say in Sweden), what a retreat! This cosy yet minimal cottage is situated on the North coast of Jutland, Denmark.

Wow!

Pictures: Marie Claire maison

It's fascinating how the home-owners have made something that could appear cold and hard, warm and soft. Such as tolix chairs draped with sheep skin, or the sparse space with a concrete floor bordered by warm wood. Extremely tantilising and clever.

Monday DIY- pallet table

I like this whole Christmas display. Most of the items are from IKEA. But the pallet table was the piece that really caught my eye. SUCH a great DIY project. Find a large wooden pallet, paint white and attach wheels, simple and yet cool industrial. Where's my tool kit....

The scandinavian job - Milan apartment

Morning! Hope you had a lovely weekend?! You'd be forgiven, in your foggy monday morning state for thinking that this pad was in Sweden, or Japan for that matter. But it's actually in Milan. I love the mix and the way it all comes together.

So, 'Tomten' (Santa) Latté time. Tip: if you live in Skåne, Sweden and have an espresso house nearby don't try a tomten latté. You'll be having one everyday until Christmas.

Back in a bit!

Black, white with a touch of yellow Swedish home

Hello and happy Friday! I wanted to share this fascinating home with you. I like lots of things about this space. The pops of yellow that break up the black and white, all the different textures used on the walls. And the eclectic mix of furniture ranging from modern IKEA and industrial style to and mid-century. Very lovely.

I love the gallery of Therese Sennerholt prints in the third picture. My husband gave me the 'sweet dreams are made of you' Therese Sennerholt print for Christmas last year and it has prime place on my gallery wall. I love it! Latté time  :)

Thursday DIY: Twinkle twinkle big star!

I was so impressed with the lovely Christmas star Anna Malin, at Helt Enkel Hos Mig made that I had to share it with you.

For more directions and to see the rest of her beautiful blog pop here.

Interesting eclectic Stockholm apartment

Go'dag! There are so many interesting pieces in this Stockholm apartment! I love the vintage industrial lamps, the armchair and the modular sofa. And also the interesting use of wallpapers and colour schemes. Very personal and original, just like a home should be.

I think there's something very cool about children's rooms that seamlessly fit the theme of the rest of the house. What do you think? Are you more of a classic kids room type or would this work for you? Time to wake up with my morning latté now but back in a little with more inspiration!
