The home of a Norwegian ceramic designer

I am just a little lost for words (not like me!). But homes like this Norwegian one of ceramic designer Silje Aune Eriksen featured in the Norwegian Elle Decoration is the reason I love Scandinavian interior style so much. This home is simply FAB! I love the colour combination of greys, white, neon, black and light wood and of course the beautiful ceramics!  

To see more pictures of Silje's home, (yes there's more!) check out her blog. Some of the ceramics you see such as the milk jugs and cup cake holders are Silje's own design - you can buy the ceramics she has deisgned over at Hvit! Warning! Dangerous online shop alert!

A serene, white home with vintage pieces

Morning! I must say, I feel like a different person this morning after my wonderful weekend at Varberg Asia Spa. If you're in need of some R&R I could seriously recommend this incredible spa in Varberg, Halland on the Swedish West coast (do the over night package!). As a result, here's a beautiful, white, serene home from the UK which perfectly fits my mood this Monday morning. I love the vintage touches and Scandinavian feel (of course!).  I recognise the kitchen from the Delicious Miss Dahl cookery show featuring former model Sophie Dahl.

Oooh to sit on one of those chaise longue's in this day room and relax with a magazine in the sun light. IKEA's EKTORP chaise longue is like this. Wonderful!

PS - Thank you so much to Gosia from the wonderful blog Majology for nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award, you've made my day!

Have a lovely day!

Graceful Finnish apartment with pretty ideas

This home of Lotta Neiminen Helsinki, Finland is wonderful. Very graceful and understated. I love the way Lotta had used fresh flowers everywhere to bring the season in and add a touch of colour. I must head to the florist tomorrow!

Lovely monochrome Oslo apartment with touches of concrete, black and wood

I promised myself there'd be no more white homes for a while. The problem is I just love them. So here's one more. Last one this week I promise! But this black and white Oslo home is rather beautiful don't you think?

It's interesting how they've placed the fridge partly in front of the blackboard, which you wouldn't necessarily think would work, but looks very cool. Ooooo and on a closer look the dining table is actually an old table with a glass surface. Now that's cool. So is the wood over the brick. And the concrete....aaaah, so many wonderful touches.

Beautiful white and wood, vintage inspired home

Happy New Year! I hope your 2012 will be full of inspiration and happy moments! I am kicking off this year with pictures of this beautiful country home in California. I am loving all the wood and covet the hallway and the bathroom in particular. Such a lovely home!

Cosy wood home all decked out for Christmas

 Morning! It's Friday, yaaaay! This home intrigues me. It's not my usual style but there's something about all the mis-matching wood that just works, and creates such a cosy feel. And the Christmas tree is just fantastic don't you think?! DIY project for the weekend perhaps?

PS Masking tape is slowly taking over our homes but I've yet to see it in the form of 'Merry Xmas'. Clever idea....
