A Happy Home...

Hi there!

Thank you for stopping by!

A new week is on and I feel happy to let you all step inside a very unique two-storey flat in an Edwardian building in the north of London.

This home is truly one of my all time favourite ones and like no other takes the concept of an 'Ecelctic style' to a whole new level!

I just Love it and am hoping you´ll do too!

Jimmie, the owner of the home, not to mension one half of cutting-edge furniture design duo Jimmie Martin, loves to clash the ornate with the simple, and the antique with the modern.

Junk-shop finds and personal treasures give the home an intimate feel. The black sculpture, for example, is comprised of 3 stools that Jimmie bought on eBay and stapled together.

Oh, that is such a great idea, don´t you think!?

Boards mounted with Jimmie Martin wallpaper have been propped up in the dining area. I would absolutely love to get an example of this one, but can´t help to wonder if I would be able afford it!? The carpet was ripped up to leave unsanded floorboards for a bleached, driftwood feel.

To create some inexpensive, unique art for his hallway landing, Jimmie covered a door found in a skip with an old bed sheet which he painted white before writing lyrics from a Swedish song across it.

The small kitchen has been given a shot of life by using chartreuse on one wall. It’s a really bold colour that brightens up the space without being too crazy, and it softens the industrial look.

In the bedroom Jimmie reupholstered this antique bed and painted the Union Jack design directly onto the fabric. He then added definition to the frame with silver leaf.

So cool!

A wall of black creates drama and depth in this quite small bathroom. The basin was just the cheapest one going, but with the extra-tall mirror and black backdrop, it looks really sleek.

Believe it or not but some of the furniture pieces in Jimmies home are to be found at IKEA!

Wishing you all a really great one!

Hudson River Home...

Well, I for sure could not resist to fall in love with this Oh, so beautiful home and I hope you´ll like it too!!!

When friends and family gather at David Weiss and Martina Arfwidson's home by The Hudson, Swedish tradition meets casual American style.

A pale palette in every room of the house ensures bright interiors all year long! Here, the family's German shepherd, Okie, presides in the dining area.

Massive floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the living room illuminate the space and help bring the outdoors inside.

A Swedish daybed is upholstered in green velvet, revealing Arfwidson's love of watery colors.

The large bench holds bedding and table linens underneath the seat and the white gorgeous mirror is reflecting a collection of well-worn gardening hats.

For me this house truly represents a home that is beautiful inside and out!

Eclectic Home Tour...

I feel so excited about sharing this amazing home with you this week!
It´s the home of Mark Ruffalo(famous actor) and his spouse Sunrise.
It has an eclectic- bohemian touch and the natural light is to be seen in every area of this house.

I just felt I had to start with the bedroom! I find it to be quite amazing and perfectly decorated in a very eclectic style!

The chair 'Ari' is designed in 1966 by Swedish designer Arne Norell.
Oh, I love that chair and I can promise you it has such a great comfort. Among a range of other designer classics, this is put on my want-list!
Can you hear me Universe, this is one of the things I want so bad:)!

Love, love, love this cute dressing table in the bedroom. The antique chair goes so well togheteher with the a lot more modern table.

The 'floating' picture ledges in the stunning hallway makes it easy to shift and create new collages!

Look at that high ceiling! It gives the living room such a spacious but also quite rustic feeling.

The kids´ room is full of happy colors.
A bed dressed in blue for the son and a bed dressed in girly red for the daughter!

The colorful bohemian touches in the sunroom looks beautiful...

Finally a look at the outdoor patio.
This home truly comes togehter in a rustic, bohemian and eclectic style all the way through and I just love every bit of it!

I really hope you´ve enjoyed this!

Happy Wednesday Sweet Friends!
