Monochrome-ish Malmö apartment
Morning! This lovely apartment is so close to home that I felt I had to publish it. I like the mix of colours in the sitting room and the beautiful floor. Any guesses at what the 'Yes!' in the kitchen could be in response to?! A proposal?

Oooo, beautiful white and grey home alert!
Wednesday, 14 December 2011
As I sit looking out at the grey on the other side of the café window this afternoon, I need to remind my sinking heart that this sombre colour can also be very beautiful given the right context. So imagine my delight when I came across this breathtaking home in the Sussex countryside in England. Aaaa so lovely.

Bathroom / boudoir dark or light?
Now that the weather's so cold there's nothing like filling a deep bubble bath, and soaking with a book and a glass of wine and then swishing around in a dressing gown. The problem is do you go moody, dark and cocoon like, or pretty, bright and peachy? Here's a mix and match I put together to help decide the vibe!

Boudoir feel via September Second |
Do you know what? Although I loooove the black and gold (and it is so very now), I think I lean towards the pretty, romantic white and peach. What about you? The dark or the light? Or perhaps something in between?
Hanging around at Christmas
Tuesday, 13 December 2011
Hej hej! Slowly but surely I've been unpacking my Christmas boxes and dangling decorations around the house. These lovely pics show that you don't need much to create a lovely Christmas feel. Especially the heart lights - so romantic despite the cold, Brrrrrrr!

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!
