Rachel Whiting Photography/Styling and Happy Easter!

rw6
I wanted my Easter post to reflect Easter colours and put a smile on your face. The entire time I was going through Rachel’s portfolio, I was smiling and overcome with happiness. The colours in her shots will do that to you; make you happy and for some of you(who are embedded in snow) they might even help you  forget that you are. Instead, you’ll begin to hear the birds chirping outside…

Her styling is so impeccable too. It makes each picture and her spaces come alive. The art of styling is one that I haven’t quite mastered yet. I adore the country-esque vibe in this space and I’m salivating over the patterns, the accessories AND the colours! Wowza! The white wall makes the perfect backdrop for everything else to take center stage. This is really a pretty room.

Displaying with Buttons.

decwithbuttons
A lovely store called Woodsfolk just opened their doors in Melbourne, AU. Their colourful items and creative ideas are a delight to the eyes. I was especially smitten with this particular display that showcases a wall adorned with big colourful buttons. How creative! And, what a fabulous way to display ones favourite pieces. Actually, everything about this display is so cheery, whimsical, and fun! To see more deliciousness from this shop, go here. Happy Wednesday everyone! XX

p.s. thanks for the birthday wishes to my little man:-)

Retro Minimalistic Danish Villa





Artist pair Ruth Campau and Michael Dark lives in this cool 147m large villa apartment on two floors in Amager, Copenhagen.

Art, colors and mid century modern classics combined creates a very exciting mix, enhancing the atmosphere of the whole place. Some rooms are more minimalistic / modern while others are filled with mostly midcentury  stuff,  both styles works very well together here.

Awesome Loft in Copenhagen



Fashion designer Michala Wiesneck has designed its large luxurious apartment in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen with lots of personality. Decorated with  paintings from flea markets in Paris, Chinese antiques and lots of books on fashion and design.

I really like the feel of this interior, don't know why, it reminds me a Fin Juhls house for some reason, but with  less colors.

Cute Apartment in Malmö





What a cute place, this Swedish apartment contains so many cool design furniture and decor - really like the feel of it, especially the living room with low bookcases (and of course the book filled string shelf) and  the stylish kitchen.

Pastels.

2013-03-07 09.36.14
Pastels have been popping up everywhere this season. In fact, the love for pastels seem to have lingered from years gone by.

2013-03-07 09.32.30
Incorporating pieces with pastels tone is a great way to freshen up your décor for Spring and even into the Summer months. Painted furniture, throw pillows, or rugs in pastel tones would add the perfect dosage of pastel zing.

Of course, it’s no surprise that there is a pastel explosion in the fashion world. Fashion and interior design are best friends and love to share trends. Gorgeous pairing of colours, no?

Tom Dixon Light Crush.

2010-11-11 13.08.01
I’m enamored with Tom Dixon’s lighting designs. Edgy, sexy, sculptural, and "bling" are some of the adjectives that come to mind when I think of his lighting designs…
