Room for a boy

My never ending project is my sons room. We have bougt the colour and built the shelfs but then our energy ended and nothing more has been done. So, hopefully I will get started soon again to finish what will be Axels own space (even if he thinks the whole house is his to sprinke toys all over). The base will be white and pale aqua with accents in bold colours. My nex DIY will be to make posters for the walls and hopefully Axel will help me. Or maybe I paint some tires and turn them into a table. To be continued...

Summer house dream

I just got back from a wonderful visit at my husbands familys summer house, a beautiful house on an island, far from stress, people and life in general. While driving back, I started to think about how my own "dream summer house" would look like. I think some of these pictures illustrates what I had in mind, daydreaming about it.

Simplicity

Summer life is all about simplicity. Refrain yourself from anything unnecessary and just live life as simple as you can. Today we have been out in the forest all day, picking mushrooms and the meal we´ve had sharing them was fantastic. Moments like that will become memories to cherish.

Good morning

After eleven hours of driving yesterday, we finally got home late last night and have slept like babies. It´s always a lovely feeling to come home even if the holiday have been amazing. So, today we will have a relaxing day with breakfast lasting forever...

Orla Kiely

I´m a big admire of Orla Kiely. She is a fantastic graphic designer with amazing prints, but personaly I think she is showing her strength when it comes to colours. Entering her store in London aways brings a smile to my face. So, when I found these great shots of her home, threw the lovely blog French by design, my heart started to beat a little faster. I love the bold accents in glasobjects and furntures mixed with the calm neutrals on the walls. Photos by Chris Tubbs.

Concrete beauty

I´m passionatly in love with raw and rough concrete. I would love to lay concrete in our whole basement, with a coating of wax to give it some lustre. With the raw surface any piece of furniture pops and stand out even more.

Bold accents

It feels like the whole interior world in talking about colours again. Big, bright, bold colours. I have to admit that it´s refreshing after quite some time with lots of white. Althoug I think it´s easy to overdoze with colours if you´re not careful. To many bright colours togheter can often get busy for the eye. Therefor I love these pictures where they have added lots of colours, but in the details instead of on a big piece of furniture. These shots also represents an etnic impression, imperfection and individualism; key words for this season.

São Paolo bachelor pad

This trendy modern apartment is located in the West side of São Paulo and is the living quarters of a successful bachelor who wishes to reside near his company headquarters. The owner, FJ is a young DJ and entrepreneur and the the place is designed and renoveted by Studio Guilherme Torres. The apartment was a typical 1980´s flat and in desperate need of renovation. I love how they have integrated the lights into the walls and ceilings. The surface of concrete all over the place brings a contemporary feel which brings the best out of the impressive photos.

New York townhouse

Templer Townhouse is a renovation made by Workshop For Architecture.  The company was established in 2003 as a collaborative design and research studio. This project included the garden, parlor and basement levels of a brick townhouse in the west Chelsea neighborhood of New York. The primary intention of the design was reconnect the garden level spaces with the exterior while creating more open living spaces throughout incorporating minimalist details. I can move in any day...
