Tote obsession...
This is a problem.. I am completely obsessed with totes and bags.. I was flipping through the new issue of Souvenir magazine and was clicking through on products that I liked, once I finished the magazine I realized that I had linked up to multiple websites, but each link was for a different bag. So I guess I am obsessed just a little!! I have bags everywhere in the house, I have woven bags holding my bath towels, picnic supplies, fabric samples- you name it! I like woven, vintage, linen, pretty much anything that would carry goodies home from any kind of store or hold things at home, but I truly love to use them at the flea market and farmer's market- it feels great to come home without a single plastic bag wrapped around my goodies.
Do you love them like I do- have I lost my mind (don't answer that one)!?

Ellens album
Ces belles images viennent de la maison de Rikke Graff Juel, une styliste danoise qui a aussi un joli blog appelé Ellens album. J'ai trouvé les photos sur son blog, mais elles ont aussi été publiées dans Bolig Magasinet en déc 2011, photographe Tia Borgsmidt.
Comme vous pouvez le voir, j'ai fait quelques changements ici sur le blog: la bannière, la mise en page... Il y a encore des détails à régler, mais j'espère que vous aimez :)

As you can see, I have done some changes here on the blog: the header, the layout... There are still a few details to be fixed, but I hope you like it :)

Remember the details
Life is in the details... These vintage details are so sweet and telling about the collector. That is the one thing about design that can be the hardest is to help clients add and arrange their own "details". I love real details things that are collected and meaningful. These are the things that truly make the home a special place, a place full of memories and special moments.
Just a little reminder to remember the details...

Imberg Arkitekter
Emma a montré cet appartement sur son blog hier et j'en suis immédiatement tombée amoureuse... Alors même si vous l'avez déjà vu, je suis sûre que vous n'avez rien contre une deuxième visite? ;)
L'appartement a été entièrement rénové par Imberg Arkitekter, qui a aussi imaginé plein de solutions astucieuses de gain de place, comme la construction de lits pour trois enfants dans la chambre (voir d'autres photos sur le site des architectes). L'appartement est maintenant en vente ici.
En ce qui me concerne, j'adore cette déco sobre mais chaleureuse en blanc-noir-bois, et ces images vont directement dans le dossier d'inspiration pour ma propre maison!
Emma showed this flat on her blog yesterday and I instantly loved it... So even if you have seen it already, I'm sure you don't mind a second visit? ;)
The flat has been entirely renovated by Imberg Arkitekter, who have also created lots of smart space saving solutions, like the bed construction for three kids in the bedroom (see more photos on the architects' website). The home is now for sale here.
I love this kind of sober yet warm interior in white-black-wood and these pictures go straight into the inspiration folder for my own home!

Tout en douceur
Il y a quelques jours, j'ai vu des photos d'un joli appartement sur le blog de la styliste danoise Camilla Tange, puis Camilla m'a gentiment envoyé d'autres belles images du même appartement. J'aime la douceur des couleurs pastels et du gris... et le miroir jaune qui crée la surprise. Stylisme par Camilla et photo par Peter Kragballe, également publiée dans Bolig Magasinet ce mois-ci.
A few days ago I saw some photos of a lovely flat on the blog of Danish stylist Camilla Tange, then Camilla kindly sent me more beautiful pics from the same home. I like the soothing shades of pastel and grey... and the unexpected yellow mirror. Styling by Camilla and photo by Peter Kragballe, also published in this month's Bolig Magasinet.

Tufted sofa love...
So I am completely smitten with the tufted vintage style sofa, chesterfield or not I am loving the fun styles out there. I have a simple high back sofa in my living room from Cisco brothers that has served me well for years- I think 7 or 8 years to be exact and it is still in great shape. However, you know as well as anybody that girls like me like to day dream. When I day dream it is about furniture and travel typically. (the photo below makes me weak!) So anyway long story short, or vice versa now, I was not shopping for a sofa but you know how things happen when you least expect it, I found a beauty that I could not resist!
This one is so cute with the contrast of the nail heads...
This little beauty looks vintage but it is not..
Love the yellow but I know it is not for me...
So here she is my new to me vintage sofa... LOVE LOVE LOVE the only question now is which fabric and which color??
Do I go with linen in a natural tone, linen in a charcoal grey, velvet in a light grey?? Oh the delimas I get myself into!
What do you think? I am over the moon- it was the perfect find for a ridiculously low price (I am not sure I should say). I will say that flea market shopping is some of the best shopping EVER!
