Fig Leaves...?

This coming week, we are hosting a very important guest from Denmark :)... My father! We are very much looking forward to his arrival and stay, and this weekend we are preparing the guest room.

Stumbled over this chic guest room on one of the House & Home Blogs, written by Margot Austin. This is her own guest room and I find it super cheerful. Yellow is typically not my thing, but this awning stripe is just so pretty, and watering it down with toms of white, a dark table to settle the room, makes it work for me. 

Side note.... Notice the ever so slight pops of light blue in the pillow design, and then look at the clever use of this color in the guest room, picked up by the bedside light fixture. GREAT!

Peter Dunham's Fig Leaf fabric fashioned into a great pillow, had me at Hello!!

I came across this super great Etsy Shop Spark Modern, where you can get your fill of accent pillows, including this version. 

Happy Sunday!

Stack 'em high!

Every once in a while you just need something new for the house, right?
Well, that time has come for me! I am on the lookout for new pillows...
They will go on our new sofa (that I have not purchased just yet ;) ) but I guess it never hurts to look!

I came across a beautiful advertisement in the new Ivy & Piper March / April issue for Heidi & Home, and just had to take a closer look.

Those cheerful blue and white zig zag pillows "had me at Hello", so summery and pretty!!

Turns out there are so many to choose from... take a look here!
And while you are on the Heidi & Home site, you should read the About section;
I want to be her "when I grow up" ;) !!

Happy shopping!

A quiet start!

So... it's February already, where does time go??

Figured I would start the month off with a very calming image... to me at least :)

I am loving all the black ceramics, all the different shapes, and the matte black console table! Punches of pink, well, that's right up my alley! With a white backdrop and lots of natural light, this dutch home is super interesting!!

Check it out here and there are even more images here, but don't forget to come back and let me know what you think!?

At first glance it looks great, lot's of interesting stuff to read, and with a promise of Spring right around the corner!

Pillow Talk

I came across this beautiful bedroom this morning, on my morning blog-tour....
What first grabbed my attention was the soothing colors, then after further studying the image, I noticed that the wallpaper and pillow fabric (by Nina Cambell) is the same. I love that the headboard fabric is a bit more satuated. The gourd style lamp base is also in the color family, as well as the floor covering. The styling is impeccable, notice the back of the books in the nightstand! Pillow fabric and wallpaper available here. 

Would you cover the walls and the bedding in the same fabric? A little much, or?
To me... it's just perfect, especially because it has been broken up by all the white, as well as the natural wood.

Hi again, sorry for the silence.....




Thank you, to all of you who have been stopping by, I encourage you to leave me a comment, any language will do, they totally make my day!!!

I am sharing this image from Day, Birger & Mikkelsen with you, I have had it in my files for a while. I think the reason I have been hanging on to it, are the colors.... And looking a little closer I just realised I have the small silver box next to the shell necklace! You can just make out that it's a face, right? Actually, I purchased this "silver" box and also one in black. Originally I had intended to give one away to a friend of mine, but just could not split them up, once I got them back home.....

Have a wonderful week!

Sample Sale

So, I mentioned Madeline Weinrib in a post recently, and guess what came in the mail?

A postcard with an invitation to a sample sale! YEAH! Of cause I did not really expect to buy anything, but it does not cost anything to look, right? Right??

Well.......... I found the perfect runner, marked down a thousand percent, I am so happy I went.
Turns out it was a custom colored runner for someone (who wasn't happy with it, I take) so now it ended up with me!



It is the same Greek key pattern as above, only the colors are different. Since it was custom colored, I have been unable to locate an image..... The key motif is white and the body is turquoise-y, on the green side, perfect for my house!
