More Graphics

More Graphics from Therese Sennereholt. I love the simple black & white grapfics with 'wisdom of the day texts'.

Newport

Another Scandinavian company has decided to join the New England trend, Newport Collection is all starts & stripes and lookes very fresh summery and Gant like (slightly less pricy though and quality feels ok).

Lake House to Love

Recently discovered the MSN Real Estate where they have featured some very nice renovation projects. One of these is the lake house that got a new life. I would love to have a little retreat like this to escape to. Especially like the over the water deck/ dock and the stairs and rope hand rail.

Read & White in the Hamptons

Some decoration ideas for summer red, white and wonderful. I would personally probably go for the blue and white summer theme, but the pop of color and the consistency of red in all rooms works. Like the window seat and attic bedroom.

The lovely home was featured in House beautiful (US)

New Paint Collection

Very exciting I know, Jontun recently launched their Lady Sensitive collection with paints mild enough to use even if you have asthma or in a baby's room. Colors are chalky and lady like! Below is a few selected samples of the new collection. Gustavian Blue, Lambs woll and Spring Air. 

Kitchen Inspiration

An inpirational mix of industrial and farmhouse country kitchen. Love the chalk board, similar to what Pottery Barn have shown for spring 2011 too. Pictures from Kitchen 2011 by Skona Hem.

Lovley Restored

I found these lovey pictures on msn real estate. A lovely restored abandoned house located in a very quiet spot upstate NY, a place to call home!

Eye Candy

Some eye candy from the estate agents Bolagets insiprational files. White Scandinavian in three different ways.

Random Lights

Mooni's random light from 2002 is a conteporary light made of rasin drained yearn and does have something magical about it. Works just as well over the dining as in the living room. Also comes in three different size to accomodate us who doesn't have the highest of ceilings and can fit the  105 cm in diameter version. Pictures are borrowed from the estate agent Lagerlings in Stockholm.

Spring Colors by Flamant

I like the Dutch (Belgian?)  interior design company Flamant, their style could possibly be traditional style reinvented. If you are ever close to one of their shop I would recommend a quick trip for inspiration. In addition to furniture and accessories they also have their own paints, their spring colors below. I especially like the the four on the left.

A few GANT favorites

Just thought I share a few  of my GANT home favorites pictures.

Windows

Scandinavians dress their windows to allow light in and to make the home inviting from the outside looking in . Despite large windows letting warmth out old architecture have these great big windows and deep window sills to decorate and make your house your home. Attached are a few great examples of nice, large Scandinavian style windows.

Summer by DAY

Almost time to get ready for summer. Below is some very inspirational pictures from Day Home 2008. The home they used to the setting is located on St Lucia and has also bee featured in Living Etc.

Thursday Inspiration

Happiness is not a destination it is a way of life. Happy Thursday!

Spring Inspiration

These spring like pictures are borowed from the blog My Home. The small pink flowers, not sure what they are, in the white carafe is so cute! I saw a similar carafe featured in Lexington's latest collection and think I might just have to look into getting one...

Swedish Apartments

There are a few reasons I love Swedish apartments from the beginning of the last century; large windows, old fire places, wooden floors and high ceilings. All pictures below are borred from the Alvhem Makleri.
