An eclectic home in sunny California

I love it when you've been looking for a solution and then you spot something in a home and think - why yes, of course! For example, I was drooling over this fab, eclectic family home of Amber Thrane, co-founder of Dulcet Creative on Glitter Glide, when I spotted the patio tiles...OK, her home is in sunny California, and mine's in southern sweden - but I think they could work in my own back yard, don't you? I live by the sea after all! In fact Amber's entire home is brimming with wonderful ideas. I love the mix of mid-century, ethnic, industrial and vintage too,  so I'm sure there'll be more ideas I'll be squirreling away on Pinterest, how about you?

Wow, this home has everything. Even blue skies!

A few of the items I love: Night and Day Sofa,  Carmela coffee table, Karlstad sofa, Llapjung ruta pillow / cushion, Hektar floor lamp, the outdoor fireplace was a Craigslist find. Oeuf cot / crib, Eames RAR rocking chair.

The boho touches are spot on. This DIY macrame wall hanging is a perfect way to get the look, plus there are tips on where to buy kilim cushions and rugs in the lower part of this post.

Anything that stands out to you?

I absolutely loved following the discussions in the comment section over the weekend including a debate about the black and white fashion photography trend and whether or not to use carpet and rugs in the home. It's always interesting to hear your thoughts. Thank you for making this blog such an inspiring place to hang out!

Have a happy start to the week!

A lovely Dutch family home

It's the weeeeeeeekend! The sun's out, the snow's glittering and Friday drinks are in the fridge. Plus I've founnd a fab home to keep us inspired through out the weekend (love today!). Owned by Maaike of art shop My Deer, her husband Jeffrey and two children in Holland, it's calm, relaxed and ever so slightly luxurious (bathroom in the bedroom, how lovely!). It's no secret that I like this home - I've previously shown one of the children's rooms here and the entire home here. And now Jelte Janmaat has captured the space from a new angle for vtwonen and I had to share the results! The white family home is filled with classic design pieces, rustic wood furniture, vintage items and the odd high street find. The perfect space for a weekend, don't you think?!

A few items I know and love: House doctor rug, Lounge chair, rustic workman's stool,  black work lamp and this glass cabinet is similar from IKEA, artwork and prints from My Deer Art Shop

I think the stand out piece for me is the 'Dipped girl' limited edition painting in the sitting room created by Maaike. It's based on ‘A Young Girl Reading’ or 'The Reader' by the French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732 – 1806). Such a beautiful piece!

Is there anything that stands out to you?

I'm off to enjoy a couple of days with my parents who are over visiting from London. I think some sledging is on the agenda (with my girls), an outdoor barbecue lunch in the snow (are we nuts?!),  plus supper out at this fab restaurant (one day I must do a city guide for Malmö, what do you think?).  Have you got any fun plans?

Have a fab couple of days and see you Monday!

A whimsical floral and pastel home in Belgium

It feels strange writing about whimsical florals and pretty pastels while there's snow on the ground, but that's exactly what sets this home apart.  The space belongs to Yvonne Eikkenduijn, her husband Bo and 3 hens in Lommel on the Belgium-Dutch border. Yvonne describes her style as -Scandinavian -English, and I see an element of Dutch too. Yvonne is a photographer, blogger, and author of two books: yvestown in the kitchen and weekend ontbijtboek. She also bakes a mean cake. I could imagine hanging out here with the smell of freshly baked cake hanging in the air, how about you?!


  
 

 

Holly Marder. Homes with Heart Decor8.

Is this your kind of style?

A few items I know and love: Smeg fridge, Cath Kidsen wallpaper, Muuto E27 light, Bertoia chair. Paint a cupboard in Farrow & Ball Middleton Pink for a similar effect.

See more pics and read about Yvonne's home here.

Have you been to Belgium? I'm working with a Belgium interior designer Mieke Van Roey this week and she says Ghent is fabulous for interior design shopping. I'm also keen to visit this restaurant in Brussels and perhaps do a little clothes shopping in Antwerp. And of course - a stop at Yvonne's home for a slice of cake would be nice too! Belgium is officially added to my travel board!

Yvonne's home has been beautifully captured by Holly Marder for her Homes with Heart column. Holly came to visit last year and at the same time photographed Tina's fab home. Her bedroom is one of the most popular posts ever featured on My Scandinavian Home! And I've featured lots of homes she has styled / photographed in Holland including this, this and this home. I can't wait to see what she does next!

Have a lovely day!
