Need some help...

Today I received my black and white carpet from Day Birger et Mikkelsen. It turned out to be much more greyish in the black and a lot more creamy white in the white fields than I had expected. I had this pure white/rich black in mind so, I have to admit I felt a bit disappointed when I unpacked it.

The size 200x250 cm is perfect though. I was afraid it would be a bit too small but, after all my living room is not very large so why go to extremes:)!?

Anyway I have not decided yet if I will keep it or if I will return it back...

The blue-greyish-black made me think about a blue sofa I stumbled upon a few weeks ago. It was love at first sight and maybe this was simply meant to be.
Until just now I have had a crispy white sofa in mind. But with this carpet it will not match. I´m pretty sure the white sofa will make it look kind of 'dirty'.

This blue beauty has actually crossed my way a couple of times since I had a look at it in the first time. It´s like I unconsciously draw my attention to it.

Day, EM

Is this the sofa I should go for in my Day- inspired look(previous post) or am I totally off road here? Does these items(carpet+sofa) even match?
I feel lost...
Please help me out here, I really need your oppinions on this!

Thank You!

In November 2009 I was going through the lastest issue of the Swedish ELLE INTERIOR magazine. Somewhere in the middle this amazing home appeared for my eyes and I was instantly hooked, you could almost say obsessed:).
The home belongs to the creators behind the famous Danish brand DAY Birger et Mikkelsen and I absolutely love every detail in this apartment, every piece of furniture, the color on the walls etc. etc.

Ever since I´ve had this place in my head, being aware there were something about it that talked to me in a very special way. I just knew this was the look I was going for in my living and dining room area.
I then started to make plans and when I stumbled upon a black cabinet(with similarities to the one down below) I bought it straight off.
You could say I got well started on it and i felt very happy about finally finding the inspiration and some of the the basic elements on how to successfully decorate my own place!

Then, after a while, my confusion over not really knowing what my personal style was really all about(most of you know about my struggles on this subject by now!) and I started to questioning if this look was really representing 'Me'?
What about the modern classics that I love, what about my Mondrian posters, would they really fit with this particular style?

I just couldn´t get it all together and stopped making more plans and buys for my living- and dining room area.
Today the black cabinet still stands there, waiting for something to happen...and so only a few days ago something made me curious about looking at this home once again. During my Style Searching I realised my personal style was very eclectic and that my home would have to be a mix of different styles and looks from different eras...

Again, I was falling in love with this stylish yet quite bohemian home, now feeling a lot more certain this is what I want but also knowing on a much deeper level that this look is truly a part of who I am!
Many pieces comes from the DAY HOME Collection itself which makes it quite easy to create this look on your own!

Myself have decided to go for it and this time -without any doubts- continue until my rooms are completely done.

Leaving with hopes you´ve enjoyed this home just as much as I did and very much so, Still do!

All my Love:)!
