Hey guys! It's Holly Marder here from
Avenue Lifestyle, sending some inspiration to you from my home in Delft, the Netherlands. You have already seen
my bedroom,
which was featured here on My Scandinavian Home a while back, and while
it remains my favourite room in the house for it's tranquil qualities
and calming palette, I thought I'd stop by to share with you some
snippets of my home I captured recently highlighting some of my
favourite bits. I must be honest, we have been slowly renovating and
decorating our home for just over two years now, and I get a little
crazy thinking about all that I still want to do! I see a mental to-do
list as long as my arm the minute I step inside, and sometimes forget to
enjoy the lovely things we have done that do inspire me every day. Do
you do that too?
Our
kitchen is almost finished but some of my favourite details include my
gorgeous wooden beaded pendant lamps by Australian designer
Marz Designs made
from walnut and oak (they were the first thing we bought for the house
and remain a total favourite), marble countertops, brass display rails
by
Schoolhouse Electric and custom oak cabinetry by
Koak Design (who designed
this kitchen which I couldn’t stop thinking about).
My little vintage trolley, which I recently painted black, is also a new favourite. You can read more about it’s transformation
HERE.
Still love it so much and the difference it makes to our home, though a
small addition. Sometimes we forget to celebrate the little things,
don’t we?
This little wooden bench above in my living room is a new piece I recently bought for myself at
The Fine Store by Japanese brand
Karimoku New Standard, a little gift for my home after using it to style
this bedroom for a client project
recently. I love it simply styled in this little nook in the living
room with piles of my favourite books and magazines all over it. So
simple but inspiring none the less and so textural with the vintage Beni
Ourain rug I brought back from
my trip to Marrakech last year (find a similar one
here).
I
am a huge collector of art, mainly vintage pieces I adore hunting for,
and I have created a gallery wall above our sofa. Vintage mixed in with
modern pieces (in this image, the 'Eye Eye' poster from
Fine Little Day and a print from
Eeli-Ethel Polli) make me smile each and every day.
I
hope this post inspired you to look more closely at thew details of
your home which bring you joy and inspiration each day, to stop and
enjoy them for what they are.
