Raw Plywood, Pine, and Nature

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this!  Raw surroundings, natural wood,  natural light.  Pella Hedeby on location for Livet Hemma. The beauty of raw,  natural materials in the most simplistic expression. Love it.

The Line at the Hamptons

Haven't had the chance to make summer plans this year.  But hoping to make our way to the Hamptons or Fire Island at some point.  Normally we prefer less pretentious beach shacks and make stops at the wonderful shops in town or even some outlet shopping on the way.  This year The Line will certainly be a very inspirational trip.  My favorite style of all styles:  modern with rustic touches, sprinkled with clean, krisp Scandinavian lines, but overall minimal and eclectic.  Can't wait to browse...

Pia Ulin's Brooklyn Loft

In New York City you'd be lucky if the sun enters your flat any time in the morning.  For us here in the Financial District, maybe it will peek through between noon and 2pm.  My poor bonsai leans over like a cat watching passersby on the windowsill.

Pia Ulin, a well known photographer from Sweden, whose work I have admired, moved her home base in Brooklyn with her husband.  She is known for her brilliant use of nothing but natural light in her photographs, giving it that unique sense of poetic realism, and an overall monochrome cast over her compositions.  It is just beautiful.  Her Brooklyn digs is very New York indeed -- with unusual tight partitions and compartmentalised spaces, but an overall intelligent use of limited space without being claustrophobic.  It embraces that industrial, vintage vibe most creative spaces express.

Take It Outside!

Summer creeps around the corner here in New York,  then hits us with a blast of cold weather all of a sudden. The coats are pulled out again in the mornings. We certainly hope this is the last of it -- because believe you me,  we are ready to take it outside!

Thankfully my favorites of favorites have been releasing their summer inspirations of late!  None other than one of my Scan heroes, Minna Jones has shown her now finished summer house with delectable IKEA summer collections. Very much awaited by many the VIGTIGK collection boasts its natural beauty.   And of course, summer is not compete without al fresco dining: what better than SINNERLIG and VARDAGEN for those yummy treats. Enjoy!
