This Swedish home was featured in a last year’s edition of Swedish magazine Skona Hem. Owner Carola has the art to collect this without making the place feel to cluttered. On a wall in the living room are paintings of loved ones. This unique collection gives a lot of character to the room.

The living room is covered with an open bookcase which stretches up to the ceiling. The paintings are made by Carola’s uncle, Peo Rosen.

The bedroom is small and has now windows but a cozy atmosphere is created by using white and natural colours.

In the long, narrow hallway (top right & below right) different collections of frames, hats and glasses can be found.

On Remodalista I can accross this beautiful fisherman’s cottage on Shelter Island, USA. The cottage, which was built in 1904, has been renovated by NY-based architects Rhea White and Steve Schappacher of Schappacher White.

The owners, who bought the house as a weekend retreat, were acutally looking for something more modern but when they saw this cottage they couldn’t resist making an offer.

Throughout the interiors, whites, off whites, and sand colors have been used. Black and natural wood was used as contrasts.


A gorgeous rocking chair.

A mix of modern pieces, antiques, and found objects has been used to decorate the rooms.

Many of you liked the vintage crocheted bedspread in the image above (which is our bedroom). I was able to get my hands on a limited supply of vintage crochted bedspreads (in various sizes and patterns) which I am selling on Eby. You can see all available items here. The silver star shaped lamp (handmade in Egypt) is available from Le Souk (in two sizes).

I’m loving this mood board. A great idea for an office or workspace!

We have been having lots of snow for the past weeks. I can’t remember that we had this much snow in one winter. Here are some winter wonderland photos that I have been shooting this winter. The blue/grey house in the middle in the top image is ours.

View on the back of our house and garden (top image), where some beautiful robins are living.

Gorgeous swans at the back of our house.

A lake nearby.

A beautiful house (the vicarage) in our street.

Trough Decor8 and Bloesem I learned about the beautiful work of Dutch photographer Jeltje. Jeltje has photographed some stunning interiors for magazines such as 101 Woonideeen, Viva, Ariadne at Home and ELLE Interior Norway.

These images are all from Jeltje’s portolio. The white chairs in the top image are the Revolt chairs from Dutch designer Friso Kamer.

A beautiful minimalist kitchen with white and grey tones.

I have this white vase as well. It is designed by Hella Jongerius for IKEA. Cute cat!

I like the industrial style lamp in the image above. I have seen it a couple of times before, mostly in Scandinavian style interiors.

It is a bit unusual but I like how these old birdcages are used for the styling of a wedding shoot.

This is interior designer Jacques Grange’s Portuguese retreat. The gorgeous loft-style living room is filled with Fifties French furniture, pillows made from African fabrics and rugs from Morocco. Isn’t that beamed ceiling gorgeous!

Jacques Grange has created haute interiors for clients including Princess Caroline of Monaco, Yves Saint Laurent and François Pinault. His grand rooms are often furnished with great Louis XV, Napoleon III and Régence pieces.

Casa Nina, as the house is named, is actually a collection of houses, a series of rough-hewn cabanas cradled in a valley of dunes in the Alentejo region, a remote stretch of the Portugese coast.

I can’t resist an interior photo with Tolix chairs in it..
