Today I am in love

Flawless, tasteful, artistic.  It takes a trained eye to attain a space such as this. It's sooo gorgeous I have butterflies in my stomach!   Beautifully captured by photographer Garithe Lemche, this home belongs to graphic artist Mette Bonavent, located in Copenhagen.

Weekend Inspiration: Modern Rustic Perfection

In New Zealand this family created this modern rustic perfection.  Clean lines, contrasts between white and black accents, smooth versus textured.  This is my ultimate dream!  Marrying rustic elements with ergonomic modern design, and that Danish krisp styling...

According to homeowner Christina Ravnholt, she tells Bo Bedre:

"My home is indeed my cave. Candles and dark evenings are some of the best I know. I could stay with lots of wallpapers and trinkets, but my husband is primarily the tight Danish design, so I had to go look for a happy medium. In order to soften the clean lines up and amplify the warm and slightly dark mood, I have given an element of nature in my decor with pine cones, moss, branches, horns and skins. But also an oriental atmosphere, which I think both room more elegance and something cozy."

Weekend Crushing: Annaleena's Rail

Crushing, wishing, wanting...  my apologies for my consumerist self wanting something I don't have: a minimalist white kitchen with Annaleena's rail, as seen on A Merry Mishap.

Dark and Intriguing

Growing up, I was always intrigued by dark interiors.  My uncle's home in New Jersey was one perfect example.  I remember the black wall paper with silver lines, black grand piano, the dark Persian carpets, dark woods and mood lighting.  But most of all, the lingering woody and herbal scents.  I find these type of interiors mysterious.  And, sexy.
