This Halloween, super stylish children’s boutique Smallable is putting on a spooky scavenger hunt with a special Halloween Prize to win. The fashion and design concept store for kids ages 0-12 has hidden four Halloween characters on their site… a witch, a ghost, a scarecrow, and a pumpkin! Your mission:
1) Find one or more of the villains on the Smallable site and click the «like» button next to the character to show you’ve found it.
2) Then go to the facebook page and leave a comment to say you have played (but shhhh! Don’t say where the spooky character is hidden!)
3) Smallable will announce the winner and special Halloween prize.
Here’s a hint to find one of the hidden spooky characters: The witch is looking for a new black dress… look for her in the girls clothing section!
Too easy? Find all four! The scarecrow, ghost, and pumpkin are lurking in the midst…
This beautiful house in Denmark was once an old watermill. The owners, Vibe and Jesper Krogh, transformed the run down building to a modern country home that oozes personality and charm.
Vibe and Jesper managed to combine the idyllic country house atmosphere with their more clean and modern personal style.
The beautiful duvet cover with tree print is available here.

Today I would like to introduce you to a online shop called Neëst. Every thing in this shop is beautiful! Throughout its search for such a pure sense of aesthetics Neëst has composed a collection of essential favorites from Japan all the way to Scandinavia.
Neëst is about enhancing everyday items by mixing vintage and contemporary objects. Timeless objects of the utmost elegance in the simplicity of its shape and design with a propensity for natural fibers and materials (wood, linen, cotton, weaved straw…) as well as traditional handmade craftsmanship.
The beautiful and unique products make it worth visiting Neëst’s website, but also the styling and the gorgeous photos are very inspiring. And the lovely lady behind Neëst also has a beautiful blog.

Today I’m loving … this window bench, which makes a lovely spot to do some reading. The colorful striped rug on the bench is from IKEA. Also the woolen blanket on the bed is from IKEA.

I love these images shot by Marjon Hoogervorst for Est Magazine. The inspiring photos are accompanying a trend report by stylist Anouk B (who also styled the photo shoot). A trip to Paris affirmed Anouk’s appreciation for Parisian chic both in stores and on the street where the use of black and white is as strong today as in the time of Coco Chanel.

This lovely house is located in Los Feliz, a hilly neighborhood in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California. It has been decorated by Alexandra Angle Interior Design. This interior design company is based in Los Angeles as well as in New York. I love the interior which is cosy but modern with various design classics. Large doors in the bedroom give access to a beautiful outdoor area. How lovely to start your day here!
It is getting colder: time to cozy up with these knit throws with chevron pattern. Perfect for cuddling on the sofa or warming up by the fire.
Siw’s (from the blog Design Shimmer) is featured in the IKEA Family magazine and on the website of IKEA Family Live. The stunning flat in Bergen, Norway, is a merge of families, values and needs. A home that mixes cosy with masculine touches.
This rented flat in Bergen was supposed to be a temporary home for Siw, her husband Roger and their children, but they’ve now been there for five years. Here’s what Siw learned in that time: 1. Unify, don’t zone. I’m not keen on marking out zones with different ‘types’ of furniture, style or colour. Instead, the room should work as a whole, while meeting a variety of requirements.
2. Space vs storage. Yes, storage creates space, but it also takes it up. We didn’t want to cram our home with storage on the walls, or for it to take up valuable floor space.
3. Mix, but don’t match. Mixing gives your home its style, and co-ordinating – rather than matching – is what helps it to make sense. I’m loving the IKEA storage boxes featured in the image above.

Black & white mixed with wood is one of my favorite colour combinations! These stunning images are shot by Danish photographer Line Klein. The house, located in North Zealand in Denmark, is owned by an architect. The style is simple, Nordic, with clean lines and beautiful contrasts.
