A chic and timeless Scandinavian home

This home comes pretty close to perfect in my book. Enjoy!


What do you think of the coat closet just being a clothes rack? (I hope those furs are fake)

This living room is so unique, the more I look at it the more details I notice
A detail from the back of the couch. The lamps on the console behind it is a great idea


Love the basket with the art - great if you frequently rotate out your artwork

Earthy but refined - dreamy dining rooms and kitchens

No other room will serve you like a well designed kitchen, pantry, and dining room. Undoubtedly these serve there purpose - and look gorgeous!

A pot rack is a functional and attractive solution for too little cupboard space. Check out the gorgeous tile backsplash

I've never seen mirrored cabinets before - what do you think?

This is a dining room for late nights sipping wine and lazy mornings drinking coffee and reading. How couldn't you with the fireplace and settee!

I always like dining areas in or connected to the kitchen - it's so cozy and intimate.

Glamorous Holiday inspiration you haven't seen before

Well, I hope you haven't seen some of these yet! Of course I love the white and cream backdrop, but these holiday decorating ideas are great too...

it looks like maybe the garland is a white feather boa - cute huh?

I'm not into binge decorating, I like small charming touches - like these lit branches on the table


The socks on the radiator are too cute

Notice the ornaments hung from the chandelier with ribbon. We do the exact same thing but from the curtain rods


A "warm" white can be hard to pull off but I think this is lovely

The tree you see in the image above this one is put up on a table - good idea!

Welcome weekend! These warm and peaceful living rooms will inspire you - some Christmas inspiration too!

I definitely tend to go for Christmas decorations that aren't the typical green and red

I adore the chandelier contrasted with the rough walls. This is actually the Jayson Home and Garden store. PS- if you like Jayson Home and Garden Gilt is having a sale on their accessories.

Beautiful chairs
Great ottoman too - providing the fur is faux...

Even if your fireplace is non-working you can still create a cozy fire with a grouping of pillar candles. BTW - this is a real home -not staged or professionally decorated.

Pardon my drool...but you'll understand when you see this home office!

It's amazing how such a functional and pretty space can be created in such a tiny nook, but below you have it. If you like this look and want to learn more, you must go to the amazing blog of the multi-talented Benita Larsson, "Chez Larsson" She has created a post on how they created the space and several update posts.





bins, boxes, baskets, bowls..whatever your preference - USE THEM. They keep clutter under control!




Sticking to a color palette also keeps your organization system looking it's tidiest.

Jealous? I sure am! Awesome job Benita!

Rooms just bursting with Scandinavian Charm

These are Danish to be exact - and I'll think you'll agree that they just fill you with the warm fuzzies... enjoy!

Dreamy - what a great workspace. *sigh*





Great wallpaper - great use of black and white.
