A while ago I posted about Wegner’s Wishbone Chair in petrol blue (you can see the post here). When I saw the photo above on decor8, I could not resist featuring it on the style files as well.

bolig1.jpg

More inspiration from Sweden! This house belongs to decorator Mia Lundström. Mia has the courage and ability to mix different styles.

Her home is a casual mix of Ikea, ’50s classics and a few splashes of kitsch.

Around the dinner table are chairs from Fritz Hansen and Charles Eames. The Pendant light is from Ikea, as well as the cabinet (old Stockholm Series).

Also the kitchen cabinets (image below) are from Ikea. The golden pendant lights was bought at a fleamarket.

Today we make a trip to Italy, the location of this summer house. The beautiful house stands on Filicudi, one of eight islands that make up the Aeolian archipelago. This small island is situated 20-30 miles northeast of the island of Sicily.

The interior is simple and rustic with some furniture painted in bright pink.

a lovely guest house near brussels

This 19th centruy building near Brussels, Belgium, used to be a mirror factory. It was transformed into a beautiful guest house by owner Philippe ten years ago. With a lot of imagination and energy Philippe managed to turn the old factory into a warm and welcoming place.

chambredhote2.jpg

In the large dining room, which also serves as the kitchen, a huge collection of earthenware and glassware is being displayed on shelves rising to the ceiling.

chambredhote3.jpg

In his studio Philippe has built a huge library taking up the entire length of a wall.

chambredhote4.jpg

The gorgeous bath tub is a remake of a 1900 model.

chambredhote5.jpg

The guest room called “La Vie d’Artiste” (image above) lives up to its name. A large canvas painting of three large cushions resting on a pillow hangs on the wall and serves as a headboard. More information about this charming guest house can be found on on the website of Chambres en Ville.

a swedish home

Posted on February 4, 2010 by danielle| 14 Comments

samlad4.jpg

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.

samlad2.jpg

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.

samlad1.jpg

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

samlad7.jpg

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.

cottage1.jpg

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.

cottage9.jpg

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