rustic wood

Some beautiful photos that have caught my eye! The common factor is that there is an element of beautiful raw wood in every image.

graphic prints

Posted on January 14, 2013 by danielle | 2 Comments

Graphic black and white prints are very popular. Well known are the ones by Therese Sennerholt, who also has designed some gorgeous graphic rugs in partnership with A Carpet and NK Interior (see last photo). In this post you can see some examples of prints and how you can display them in your interior. I personally love the ones made by photographer Marjon Hoogervorst. Print ‘Kus je’ (top image) is high on my wish list!

our playroom

Posted on January 8, 2013 by danielle | 14 Comments

I finally finished decorating our son’s playroom! The room is small but cozy and Kick loves to read and play in it. The colorful cushions and poofs are from Zid Zid, a brand that I love. The wallpaper tree is from Dutch designer Inke. If you are interested in a similar tree, we have one for sale. I initially bought another tree but it was too large for our not so high ceiling. You can see the one that I have for sale here.

Some of the items used in our playroom:

1. Lion cushion, 2. Cloud poof, 3. small Star pendant,4. Car light, 5. silver leather poof, 6. crocheted pillow, 7. Bird cushion, 8. Elephant poof

sheep skin rugs

Posted on January 2, 2013 by danielle | 5 Comments

Sheepskin rugs are perfect for creating a cosy winter style home. Mix them with white walls, wood, cow hide rugs and industrial elements for a Scandinavian style decor. Sheepskin rugs are widely available at for example IKEA. But check out specialty stores for a wider choice. Recently openend online store Just Another Shop has some beautiful rugs in their collection (shipping outside The Netherlands is available).
