Chair mix

2012-02-24T09:13:00.001Z

This house must surely belong to a serious lover of chairs. So many wonderful design classics all mixed together.

Kilim

2012-02-22T21:36:00.000Z

I love how much warmth a simple Kilim rug can add to a room.

Aftermath

Stylish Christmas tables, looking more like the aftermath of the party, but pretty non the less.

The art of giftwrapping

2011-12-05T21:15:00.000Z

My favourite thing about Christmas presents is wrapping them. I try to do something different each year, all tough I am very much partial to brown paper. I am drawing some inspiration from these lovely images, now I just have to buy the contents first.

I am so looking forward to decorating our new Norwegian home for Christmas and have been looking for inspiration on the net. When I came across these beautifully styled images by Sophie Brown I just had to share them with you. I love that hallway, its like walking into a fairytale.

Patina

This house from the 1920s is full of pretty patina, and tells a story of the lives lived within its walls.

Celebrations

2011-11-21T19:23:00.001Z

Enjoying my first birthday in Norway in 6 years. My cake making skills may not be up to making this beautiful creation, but it was tasty non the less.

Paper stars

2011-11-19T10:39:00.004Z

Pretty handmade paper stars by Linn with step by step instructions on how to make them. Definitely must try this for sweet and easy Christmas decorations.

Winter styling

2011-11-18T20:38:00.001Z

Stunningly styled and photographed terraced house for the 55+. Lovely wintery details help to create a warm and inviting space.

At home with Tine

2011-11-16T21:10:00.000Z

It comes as no surprise that the home of Tine Kjeldsen, the woman behind Tine K Home, is simply stunning. Inspired by nature, and filled with light and soft hues this warm and inviting home has a subtle approach to christmas decorating. Yes I know it is maybe a bit early for christmas posts, but when it is done this beautifully, I couldn't help but share.

Loving the use of neon pink in these photos. How brave is that neon hallway?

Kitchen mix

2011-10-22T17:53:00.000+01:00

The flat we are moving to has not got a kitchen yet, so while we are waiting these beauties caught my eye. Clean lines and neutral colours mixed with metal and wood. So lovely!

Sunday mix

2011-10-09T20:57:00.000+01:00

More than a week back home in Norway and it feels very natural to be here. Busy settling into a routine, but here is a small collection of images that have caught my eye the last week.

Goodbye Bath....

2011-09-30T12:05:00.001+01:00

After 10 years in England, I finally return home to Norway today. Bath has been a wonderful place to live, and will be missed, but I am looking forward to a new chapter in our lives with new exciting adventures. Goodbye Bath, hello Sandnes!

Sorry for quiet blog, but so much had to be sorted before we left. Will try and update again as soon as we are settled in. See you soon bloglandia.

Nordic charm

2011-09-28T22:51:00.000+01:00

Last night in Bath, everything packed and shipped. New adventures ahead. Dreaming of a home like this one, with a lovely log burning fire. Scandinavian bliss.

Wooden trunk

2011-09-27T10:39:00.002+01:00

Beautiful autumnal greys and browns.

Illums Bolighus

2011-09-17T11:22:00.003+01:00

Beautiful photography by Heidi Lerkenfeldt for Illums Bolighus. Love the muted tones and the way it feels like they are playing with scale. Quite a few of these items are on my 'One day' wish list.

Some of you might already have discovered the beautiful images of Danish photographer Line Klein, but if you haven't I would highly recommend having a look at her inspiring blog or her website. Originally a food and portrait photographer, she also has some stunning interior and still life images which I just had to share.

Going home

2011-09-15T17:10:00.000+01:00

Things are pretty hectic here, so posting has been very slow. These images styled by Lo Bjurulf have been in my 'must post' pile for ages now. They have such a beautifully delicate feel to them.

Tomorrow it is 14 days until my husband and I move from wonderful Bath and start a new life in my native Norway. After 10 years in England the prospect of moving home is both daunting and exciting. England has treated me well and I have loved living here, but I feel it is now time to go home.

Thank you!

2011-09-04T18:35:00.000+01:00

How lovely is this space? Gorgeous high ceilings and massive windows together with the concrete walls just makes for such an amazing combo. The natural wood and linen keeps it from getting to cold and industrial. Love it!

I have had a great few weeks on the blog, lots of new people finding their way here. Thanks to all of you for your support and great comments. It makes it so much more fun to know that I am part of something greater here in blogland, and not just ranting to myself.

Also want to take this opportunity to thank the lovely Jo and Kim over on Desire to Inspire for sending so much love my way the last week. Such an honour to be mentioned not just once, but twice. Thank you girls!

Bright white

2011-09-02T15:42:00.000+01:00

Great space filled with lots of light. Stripped back to the bare essentials, but left with lots of character. I love how they have painted some of the beams but left others in their original state.

String

2011-09-01T16:41:00.001+01:00

Beautiful shelving systems from Swedish String. Designed in 1949 by Nils Strinning, they have a timeless design. I love how light and almost weightless they look.

Beautiful images of the autumn/winter collection from Day, shot by the talented Ditte Isager in her familiar moody style. Love the earthy tones and colours of the textiles.

While we are waiting

2011-08-10T17:59:00.001+01:00

The new Ikea catalogue 2012 is out on the 15th August. Is it wrong to be this excited? In the mean time here are some great inspirational images from the Ikea Livet Hemma blog. They have worked with some great stylists the last year or so and it really shows on the blog. Some great guest bloggers as well.

Original storage

2011-08-10T09:13:00.001+01:00

Such a clever selection of odd bits of storage grouped together to create a lovely display.

Alternativ styling

2011-08-09T12:57:00.000+01:00

With a lot of great estate agents cropping up everywhere in Sweden, Fantastic Frank manages to be a little bit different with their quirky styling.

Contrast

2011-08-08T23:52:00.000+01:00

Love the contrast in this space between sleek furniture, graphic art and old period features. Quick question though; how is that sofa staying up? It has three legs, at the front!

Summer floral

2011-08-06T16:18:00.001+01:00

It has been hot and clammy here for some time now, and the summer flowers are out in all their glory. These are from my favourite walking area that is just on our doorstep, Charlcombe Valley. I will miss it...

Herringbone floors

Dreaming of Montenegro

2011-06-30T12:48:00.002+01:00

Its been over two years since our Honeymoon in Montenegro, but memories from there still pop into my head, especially this time of year. It was such a beautiful and unspoilt gem (Budva excluding, awful), and we had a wonderful time there. I can highly recommend it if you want a quiet holiday away from it all. Now, we took an obscene amount of photos that we bored everyone to death with once we got home so I have tried to limit my selection, here are some of my favourites from the trip.

Konfetti Form

2011-06-24T16:11:00.001+01:00

Lovely little giveaway over on Konfetti Form in the form of these gorgeous MT Washi tape from her new shop. These pretty little things are so popular at the moment, and I love them. The only problem is trying to choose which design to go for.

Parisian loft

2011-06-18T16:05:00.000+01:00

Yet another beautiful space photographed by the talented Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer. This attic apartment in Paris has a great collection of vintage furniture which works really well with the exposed beams. And I love that slate bathroom. Tres chic.

I'm moving to Sweden! Not really, but after looking at the selection of properties at Stadshem, I really, really want too. So many stunning spaces. Here is just a small selection of images, take a look at their website for yourself for tons of inspiration.

Sorry, rather a lot of images, but I just couldn't limit myself today.

Into the woods

2011-06-03T22:24:00.000+01:00

Just back from Norway after a wonderful week. We went to my little sisters 'confirmation' and as any Norwegian can verify that entails the following: Beautiful national costumes, smoked and cured fish, cold sliced meats and lots, and lots of cake! We did however find time to enjoy some of the stunning scenery as well. Deep forests and high peaks. Bliss.

White light

2011-05-19T17:50:00.001+01:00

Beautiful bright family home in Denmark, with lots of light. I like how they have contrasted with darker colours to prevent it from becoming a total white out. And I love that yellow stripe on the kitchen splash-back, so cool.

17th May

2011-05-17T10:36:00.000+01:00

Wishing everyone a very happy 17th May. One of those days where I really wish I was back home in Norway, to celebrate our national day with family. Here in Bath, my husband and I will celebrate an alternative national day with Sushi and a day at the Spa. Not too bad.

Dressing room

2011-05-14T10:40:00.000+01:00

Every girls dream, the walk in wardrobe. This being one of the prettier ones I have ever seen. With a room like this, maybe even I could learn to be tidy?

Spring dining

2011-05-06T14:30:00.002+01:00

This months Nib competition is 'Party table', and for once I have gotten around to acctually participating. Since the weather has been amazing here in Bath, I thought I would try and set up a garden party table. It is the first time my beautiful 'Lilje' silver cutlery has been out of the draw since I brought it over from Norway. I think it is so pretty, but have never had an occasion to use it. We got the Sophie Conran service for our wedding and the glasses are from Habitat. Pretty, but fragile, I have already snapped a couple of stems. Hope you like my little garden party. For more tables check out the Nib website.

So, as you might have noticed I have been a bit slow on the updates lately. It has been a really busy period where blogging was not priority. To try and get back on track, here is a slight change of format. One photo each day of a space or a product I love. Longer posts will follow, but just to get me back into the swing of it here is the first serving.

Happy Mother's Day
