Posted on October 21, 2010 by danielle | 7 Comments

I just love white wooden floors. I have to admire them from afar as we have natural colored wooden floors in our home.

The top two images are from VT Wonen.

I found the image above at Emmas Designblogg.

Loving the rustic kitchen in the image above (via Living Etc).

This photo is from the portfolio of stylist Sara Sjögren (via Desire to Inspire).

kilim rug search

Posted on August 17, 2009 by danielle | 9 Comments

I am searching for a kilim rug in similar colours (it should have purple in it!) as the one in the image above (from Tine K). Does anyone know a good source? Or perhaps do you know where this rug is from (Turkey or is it an Afghan kilim rug?) Your help is appreciated as I have been searching the net for days now without any luck..

urban carpet cyan

Posted on June 13, 2009 by danielle | 1 Comment

When I saw this carpet on Happy Mundane I knew I had to post about it as well. The carpet is designed by Instant Hutong, which are Marcella Campa and Stefano Avesani. The carpet is one of a series of 8 carpets. Each carpet represents different maps of Hutong areas (narrow streets/alleys of courtyard residences that form neighborhoods in Beijing, China).

Each of the carpets has been isolated and presented as autonomous town within the big city. They are embroidered by hand with the same technique of the propaganda slogans on large fabrics used by the communist party during the seventies. The carpets have been filled with white wire wool insertions. All along year 2009 the urban carpets will be shown to the Hutong dwellers inside the courtyards and on the public lanes in order to share the project with people and bring it back to the city districts it was inspired from.

giant rug by christien meindertsma

Posted on June 9, 2009 by danielle | 9 Comments

A long time ago when I justed started this blog I posted about Christien Meindertsma’s giant knitwork. I just found this picture (via Les Carnets du Design) of a piece Christien created for the exhibit Design for a Living World, which just opened at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York. The exhibit aims to tell a unique story about the life-cycle of materials and the power of conservation and design. Christien used wool sourced from a sustainable sheep ranch in Idaho to create a large scale knit rug a “flock” of smaller components, each one made from 3.5 pounds of wool, the yield of a single sheep. Then she sewed them all together to make one giant rug.

skylar’s lace floor stencil

I love this floor at Maryam’s Peacock Pavilions . The stencil has been used for the floor in her daughter Skyalar’s room, hence the name Skylar’s lace. The stencil is for sale at Royal Design Studio. Isn’t that floor stunning?!

upper east side townhouse in ny

Posted on October 24, 2008 by Danielle | 10 Comments

I’m glad that you like my post about that gorgeous renovated farm in France. And you are all right: that floor with the pebbles is gorgeous! Today another post about a house with a beautiful floor but this time the floor is from wood.

This townhouse on the Upper East side of NY has been decorated minimalisticly but it still has a warm feel to it.

I love the Moroccan rugs, combined with the old wooden floor.
