Light, bright, white #1
Interior decoration | 30 Januari 2010 | 20:48:50
 
With the days that have been so short and dark and snowy and grey for months (though they're already getting longer, and now I already feel lucky when it feels like night starts at 5 in the afternoon instead of at 3.30!), I'm really yearning for all things light and white and bright. I'm feeling rather slow, uninspired and lazy myself, and I can't wait for this 'spring energy' to kick in again. So lately I found myself collecting lots of images of very light and bright interiors, and I thought I'd share some with you!

Magazine love
Interior decoration | 27 Januari 2010 | 23:03:09
 
Belgian interior decorating magazine Feeling Wonen recently did an article about interior design blogging, and they included my blog in their recommendations (see below). What a nice honor! And so nice to see a photo of this home on their cover...
 
 
 
And speaking of magazines: the new issue of 101 woonideeën magazine is such a treat! It features a few beautiful homes, of Fifi Mandirac and Sandra Jongedijk among others. This picture of textile designer Sandra Jongedijk's home is such a feast for the eye! I love the different levels with the little stairs... almost as though the living room is 'on stage'.
 
 
101 Woonideeën Magazine also had a very nice do it yourself post about creating (decorative) plates by using vintage plates. They used templates and spray paint (so the plates aren't meant for functional use, just for decoration) to create the beautiful plates below. Nice, aren't they? (and something you all can do at home)

On repeat?
Interior decoration | 27 Januari 2010 | 00:29:58
 
Sometimes I wonder if I may have been hanging around in this craft & design community for too long... Like when I see something beautiful but can't remember if I see it for the very first time or already have seen it everywhere in magazines and on blogs. Or when I look at some beautiful images in my huge and ever-expanding image folder and have no idea if I've already posted them once or only have visualized posting them (yes, some sort of 'already posted' file would be practical in this case!). And then I wonder if when I, as the blog writer, already don't remember whether I've posted certain images or not, then who else will? Could I just start posting things from my archives without anyone noticing? And yes, then sometimes I get a little cynical about this huge image overload that we're pumping around the blogosphere on a daily basis, and about our search for new and original things while sometimes we don't even know anymore whether something is fresh and original to us or stuff that can already be found in our own archives... (and when I say 'we', of course in the first place I mean 'me')
But I guess I'm still more an enthusiast than a cynic, so I'll post these inspiring photos that caught my eye today in my inspiration folder anyway. Feel free to let me know if I've posted any of them already before! (and you get bonus points when you can tell me in which post exactly... ;))
 
 
 
 
I always love the look of those vintage brown leather sofa's like the one above in a further modern and minimalist home (I know this one is a well-known vintage design, but I forgot who made it), but I'm not sure I would feel very comfortable having a leather sofa like this in my home. Strange, cause I'm not a vegan and not even a vegetarian, but somehow this feels too much 'animal' to me, no matter how much I like the look. I never consciously decided to, but somehow so far I've always chosen fabric-covered sofas and chairs for my home. So though I'm absolutely not dogmatic when it comes to leather furniture (I think if you wear it you can also sit on it), somehow I often don't find myself drawn to it. Probably one of those subconscious things...

A perfect display
Interior decoration | 13 Januari 2010 | 01:20:33
I know in general there ain't much use in reposting things from DesignSponge on a humble blog like mine, but this time I just had to ignore all your loud 'but-we've-already-seen-this'-screaming and post this picture of a perfect vintage ceramics/enamelware display anyway. I just want to keep looking at this for the next few days! (and dream that I could do something similar once I've finally solved my serious storage issues ;)) This is the way beautiful ceramic pieces deserve to be displayed... in full, spacious glory!

Another Swedish apartment
Interior decoration | 24 December 2009 | 22:55:15
 
A while ago I showed you some beautiful interiors from Swedish real estate agent Stadshem, but I couldn't resist posting a few images of this apartment that they added a while ago as well... I love the view from one room through the others, it gives such a spacious feel to the apartment. 
 
(by the way I had to be sure: I checked a few other Swedish real estate agent websites and though we may tend to think so, definitely not every Swedish house that's for sale looks this good!)

Buy yourself a jeu de paume home
Interior decoration | 25 November 2009 | 10:37:39
 
I've always liked browsing through the websites and magazines of real estate agents. Not with the intention to buy a house, but because it's such a great opportunity to have a peek inside many different real people's houses. In general, seeing the average Dutch home never really makes me jubilate about the great taste of the Dutchmen: in the real estate magazines you mainly see dark, overcluttered homes on the one side and tasteless, unpersonal homes without any vision on the other side.
 
 
 
But it doesn't always have to be like that. In fact there are also real estate agent websites that make you feel like you've just entered a jeu de paume book or something. Through something old, something new I discovered this real estate agent website that makes you feel like reading a beautiful interior decorating magazine. You probably won't have a hard time guessing in which country this real estate agent is situated...
 
 
 
... Exactly, in Sweden of course! In Gothenburg to be more precise, the city where also famous artist-bloggers such as Sandra Juto, Elizabeth Dunker and Camilla Engman live. Is an eye for great design just something the Swedes have in their blood? Or do they put an extract of it in the water there in Gothenburg? ;)

Blues
Interior decoration | 28 Oktober 2009 | 10:32:37
 
 
I found some beautiful blue interior inspiration over at OWI...
 
 
Also some lovely grey... (the kind of calm that I love but will never have in my own home!)
 
 
 
And some more blues!

Mademoiselle
Interior decoration | 21 Oktober 2009 | 20:13:16
 
I've been writing about Jeanette's blog here before, and I'm pretty sure quite a lot of you already check her blog fryd+design, but for those of you who don't know Jeanette and her beautiful home (that makes you understand why the Scandinavian are so admired for their taste in decoration) yet, I just had to show the beautiful Tapiovaara Mademoiselle chairs that Jeanette recently added to her living room. Aren't these pink ladies beautiful?

A quiet escape from saturated color hell
Interior decoration | 08 Oktober 2009 | 14:23:39
 
All very nice to have a new printer with such brilliant & vivid colors, but I noticed that currently my blog is starting to become a bit of a saturated color-hell. Not that I don't like bright and cheerful colors (that would probably be the joke of the day if I said so), but I thought it was time for a little antidote. Therefore I'd like to show you a few pics from Ingrid's almost all-white bedroom (yes, she even gave us access to that place! ;)). What a calm, serene oasis that attic room was...
