Vintage posters.




































Sunday morning I visited a friends house, I had not been there in a little while...
I spotted a vintage poster on her wall. No frame, no fuss, just up on the wall!
I was so taken with the simplicity, and so inspired to find "my own" that I went on a little Internet search! Of course there are thousands, it's hard to pick one, and truthfully... I don't really have the wall space... BUT, I did find a few contestants, just in case :)

The vintage Miss Dior is my favorite! LOVE the color, the dress, the flowers... EVERYTHING!
This poster I would make room for!!












































Spotted this poster at BASALT Indretning, a vintage furniture store in Copenhagen, owned by Anne Fabricius-Bjerre. She wrote the book (Hjem efter mit hjerte) that I used in my first give-away here. Great pop of color, don't you think??




































And then there is this bright blue and yellow one.... How fun!
I see this one in a modern home, perhaps even in a child's room!
This poster you can find at TK Collection.

Have an artsy day :)

Home is where the heart is! (Give-away)































... well, loosely translated anyway...

This fantastic book is what is up for grabs!!

I purchased two while on vacation in the fall, and had BOTH signed by the author, Anne Fabricius-Bjerre, anticipating to present this book to the winner of my first ever give-away!
SO, lucky you, for having the chance to win a signed copy!!!

As it turns out, I could live in her little store, everything is SOOOO pretty. The style is very Scandinavain / Danish mixed with French goodies, all antiques and lust worthy.


































A peak inside Anne's own home, show her wonderful taste, mixing old with new, a completely personal mix!

Heigh ceilings and great natural light, a comfy spot to relax, a classic Arne Jacobsen Swan chair, calm colors and with an eye for art, Anne lives in a beautifully edited home!







If you have the room, why not? Love the high gloss black grand piano in the all white space, modern art on the wall and designer lamp, all the while she mixes in the "family silver". Looking for a large punch bowl like that? Try the flea markets! ... And good luck polishing it :)



























Notice how the built in book case is left "short" so not to ruin the view of the beautiful stucco ceilings! An antique chandelier lends a little period detail to the space, and mixes wonderfully with the modern art....



























Isn't it true... people always end up in the kitchen. Here there is absolutely no reason to leave the kitchen, sit down and stay for a while, very welcoming, no? I really like the mix of the modern with the antique, the light but comfy chairs, stripe cushions and tons of white paint!



























Simple, pretty, no-fuss.... wouldn't you like to have your home designed by this wonderful lady?? Well, if that's a little out of reach, check out this video clip (in danish) from her store, where she is giving a tour. You will be longing for more, I PROMISE!!!

And now - drum roll, please - if you would like to be considered for the SIGNED BOOK, these are the very simple rules;

1. Sign on as a Northern Light Blog follower. (1 chance)
2. "Like" Northern Light Blog on FB. (1 chance)
3. Help me spread the word (link) on your blog! (1 chance)


AND don't forget to let me a know, so I can pick a winner!
I am so excited for one of you to win!! The winner will be selected on Saturday March 19.

What are you waiting for??? Ready, on your marks, GO!
