Gorgeous Malibu Home

In this home of a film director and stylist you would expect nothing less than the tasteful decor you find in this Malibu home (Elle Decoration features this home- more photos here). The front of the home is made from barn wood brought in from Maine. The glass doors on the main floor open up to give the home an indoor/outdoor feeling and what about that gorgeous marble floor in the living room. Stunning! Love the iron railing running around the second floor landing and down the stairs and of course the stone tub in the bathroom.....well to say this is a stylish home is just the beginning....

All White Beach Cottage in Sweden

This little beach cottage in Sweden is just adorable and sooo simple. I have shown a few beach homes before, here and here, that I love... but what is great is how each can feel so unique. It does not take a lot of money to make a home look great or to create that, bring sand in on your feet, feeling...the others are much more "decorated" with a richer feel but this little cottage could be in Maine or on Vancouver Island and be just perfect as well!

Enjoy!

Nordic Charm

This three room apartment in Taarbaek, north of Copenhagen, is all done up in pale tones of blue, white and grey. With the sea visible from every room, the home matches its surroundings perfectly. Still lifes are set up throughout, put together with treasures collected over time on travels and with gifts from friends. The simple white floors really appeal to me as do the open shelving in the living room and in the kitchen. A beautiful little haven in the heart of a fisherman's village!

Enjoy!

Interiors: Restaurant Höst

Check out these pictures of the restaurant Höst by the architects Norm out of Denmark. I love how they used reclaimed wood and woolen blankets to create a warm and inviting environment. Who would want to leave this place? What the designers did was mix the feeling of eating outside on a Scandinavian farmyard with an urban, more minimalist decor. They also produced a line of tableware for the restaurant as well as design custom tables and seating. 

The cuisine uses traditional ingredients of Nordic cooking made modern and new. Very much like the design of this wonderful space.

Enjoy!

Interiors: Swedish Collections

This lovely apartment in Sweden is full of collections, antiques, vintage finds and lots of humour! I really love the stork that you can see in the living room. Take a look at the collection of teapots above the armoires and in the glass case are the collections of sponge pottery and small animals...

Enjoy!

Beach House- Lonny Magazine

I was looking at some back issues of Lonny Magazine and came across this fantastic beach house in Malibu. First of all, I love California! Yes I would go to LA anytime. I have always had great trips there for work and for fun. Second, to live in Malibu on the water would be rather nice don't you think....? This beach house of designer Tobi Tobin really appeals to me not only because it is all white but it is such a great mix of old and new items that make this home very personal. Check out these photos and the video as well..

Enjoy!

White with Brights

This small cottage is short on space but big in style. The all white house is really punched up with bright colours in yellow and blue with hits of brown and grey. You can feel the light flowing through this space and the mix of bright patterned fabrics really works well to pull the rooms together. I love the wallpaper in the kitchen and the bentwood bench in the dining room. Such great ideas and of course there is always the soapstone sinks for gardening projects...how I would love a little space like this! Really a lovely fresh home don't you think?

Enjoy!

Eclectic Interior

The owner of this wonderful eclectic apartment is a photographer and interior designer, Benedikte Ugland. This very personal space is decorated with great details such as raw concrete, modern plexiglass furniture, vintage and industrial pieces. I love the contrast of the black flooring and counters, against the white walls and tiles in the kitchen. 

Who says you can not mix styles! What do you think of this space?

Enjoy!

Barn Style

I was recently looking for Barn Lights to use for a project I am working on and as I was doing my research I came across some of the most beautiful pictures of Barn Style homes! It is such an easy, relaxed style and even if you don't have the high ceilings or open spaces that is traditional barn style, you can still get the look by adding a sliding barn door and or barn lamps (I love these) to a kitchen or office (the office below if so cool with the black lamps!). Let me know what you think of this style. I would love to hear your comments!

Enjoy!

Dutch Barn Style!

Here is a more chic, modern version of Barn Style.

These lights over the desk are perfect. Stylizimo

I suppose you could call this Wedding Barn Style? The lights made from galvanized wash buckets really make this so fun.

So sophisticated...

What can I say? So chic.
