Gorgeous styling with beautiful natural objects and wistful beauty

Nature lovers will love this feature from Real Simple. It's simply beautiful and being fond of decor that is from the earth, I really dig it.


The lamp is perfect, the giant shell a great contrast with the wood beam.

Great juxtaposition with the velvet tufted chaise and the wood and reed elements.

and this one ---I really like wood bowls.


Really really want this coverlet. It's on my wish list on Wists - and available at Bloomingdales.

Don't you just love Per Gunnarsson's work?

I do....his portfolio is amazing and I can't believe I haven't posted about this yummy house before....typically Scandinavian and very cosy, it is a lovely mix between country and modern - and I could just move straight in!

I hope you're having a lovely week...

You won't believe where these beautiful rooms are from!

I was shocked - really - when I opened up the most recent issue of the Ballard Designs catalog. They've really upped the ante on their styling. It's relaxed and glamorous at the same time. (Click on each image for a larger view)

Love cream and light blue



I like the Moroccan style rug in the picture above. They have it in a couple other colors as well.









I like their home office setups


So what do you think?

Images from a fairy tale

Happy Friday everyone! Tuesday and Wednesday sorta merged for me, and I don't know where the week went. Anyway, I've had these images from an old ad campaign from Brunschwig & Fils, and I just love the whole enchanted look of these sets.

I like the fireplace treatment in this one, I don't know if those are real sticks lined up vertically or a screen with an image, but I have never seen it before and think it's a great idea for a non-working fireplace.
These ads I first saw on 1st Dibs.

Beautiful book...

Here are a couple of things from Anita's webshop Happinessitself.

When I have kids I am so going to get an indoor swing!

I love the light in this picture...

So I was having a browse through my friends books the other afternoon and couldn't believe that I hadn't seen this book before...when I got home though, I realised that I had seen Anita Kaushal's work before and had a couple of times browsed in her webshop. Her book inspired me as it is very beautiful and is all about happy, healthy family life. It's not surprising that it is one of my friend Huldas favourite books!

Anita Kaushal is a product and interior designer, writer and art director. Here are some inspiring pictures from her family lifestyle series of books for Thames and Hudson and a recent feature that she did in Daily Mail's You magazine.
