Colour in Denmark

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving on Thursday. No Black Friday here in Peru... just hope none of you got pepper sprayed yesterday.

This home in Denmark overlooks the beach and sea but is just under an hour away from Copenhagen. Jasper and Mona chose to live here 20 years ago and furnished their home using the light colours typical of the Scandinavian style. Except in the sitting room, all the walls, ceilings and floors are painted white. It is easy then to combine and add colour and texture with
fabrics and potted plants.



















A happy weekend to you, my friends, and see you tomorrow!

Renovated Home in Spain

Spanish designer Luisa Montes is responsible for these interiors, mixing classic and contemporary styles. This renovated home is located in San Sebastián in the north of Spain and was built in 1929.




An antique Kilim rug from Iran, defines the reading area which benefits from the natural light streaming in through the balcony doors.


The painting by Andres Nagel in the dining room set the colour palette for these rooms. White walls, grey fabrics and black gauze curtains.






Another antique Kilim rug lies before the chaise longue in one of the halls.


In the same hall two reproductions of English oak armchairs stand under a portrait by Thyra de Ullman.


Wishbone chairs in the kitchen. A bit too modern and minimalist for my taste.

White Christmas in Chicago

Good morning, lovelies. I'm quite aware that not all of you are fond of white interiors, but I can't help it, I love them. So, allow me indulge every now and then. Who knows, I might get you to change your mind.
Tis a white Christmas for Dan and Lisa Tiemann who live with their three children in their Victorian style house in Chicago's historic Lakeview neighbourhood.

Christmas in England

Lots of cute ideas for your Christmas decorating in this renovated 19th century cottage in North Yorkshire, England.






The original fireplace was knocked through to install a double-sided log burner to benefit both sitting rooms.













By the way, for those of you who've asked, I will certainly be posting more Christmas inspired interiors but you might want to see some previous posts with many lovely ideas. Just click on the words Christmas on the right hand side of this page under the title Labels. There are over 20 posts. Enjoy!
