Hello! Hope you are well this fine Friday! I can’t believe it’s still January. My mind is totally set for spring, I’ve even ordered some spring clothes I know I won’t be able to wear for at least 2 months! Bah. Buy hey, one can always decorate a wall with clothes, especially skirts and dresses! Now here’s a round of nice stuff I’ve spotted lately. I’ve put some gorgeous flowers into the mix, just to get you (and me!) extra happy.

Firstly, I think this wall decor idea, found at ljuvligt hemma, is amazingly smart and easy. For a hallway or any undecorated passage or corner. Just get a canvas,  paint it white (or any other colour), stretch some lovely satin ribbons across it, attach them with a stapler and…tada! Collect your favourite memories!

Soon it’s spring, I hope! Pic styled by marcus hay via bright bazaar. This is the greatest most wonderful decor essential right know I think – flowers en masse!

And below, from ad france feb-march issue, a frame grouping with two great features in one: round shaped mirrors!

Moving on, I love displays and still life styled like this one below, spotted at krickelin‘s. Relaxed, effortless, non-squary styling. Gold, bronze & copper items are always escpecially nice (for some reason, I’m not into silver at all) and so are antlers.

Finally, a huge bunch of flowers (perfect to combine with the cool style above)..

to wish you a Happy weekend!

There’s some new blues in town this season – like the very fashionable cobolt blue  – and overall many variations of strong blues. I like the strong blue vibe yet I fancy the blue-greens too. Here’s a bunch of interesting blueish styles.

Such an easy way to add interest to a kitchen: a dark painted wall, a painting and a distressed chair.

Blonde wood goes so well with blues.

This is my fav pic from Living Etc‘s August 2011 issue. From Sibella Court’s Sydney home.

Described as a look that’s about personality, texture and the here and now. When asked to sum her style she says:

 flotsam and jetsam, globetrotting, bowerbird.

Oh my…I had to google them all! Well not globetrotting – one of the absolute trendiest interior design trends – but I learned flotsam and jetsam is refuse found in the ocean and bowerbord is like an Australian crow (I think). Each day you learn something new! And actually, from Sibella’s style one can learn more than some words. I spotted her new book is out, it’s called NOMAD and looks terribly exciting! Next week I’ll give myself time to read her guide to NYC, on the beach.

This is a home decor chapter I find really interesting: frame groupings and displays. A person’s home actually tells a story about that person. If not about nerdy interests and exotic adventures (or the love for white and cleanliness ;)), it does say a lot about what is dear to that human. In my opinion nothing is more thrilling and enjoyable than rooms and homes that speaks! Speaks stories, speaks loud, and speaks well, different style languages. A home full of character or at least: some. And displays of various kinds serve that purpose very well.

Ten globes are really cooler than one, don’t you think?

Here’s one of the best DIY-ideas I’ve spotted in ages: using pant hangers!

That’s such a great way to display a doll collection.
And lastly, book shelves, literally speaking. Love it!

Trendey is now wearing a new costume and well, hope you like it! Some fixes remains though and if you see something odd (other than the usual trendey-odd) please tell. Trendey still sorts stuff in what is supposed to be useful categories – so browse around!

Today – or rather two weeks ago,… I just updated this outdated old post about trendey’s now former navigation system – I’m loving (still loving!) this framed collection of orphaned gloves, and the mushroom & lamp-display.

oh, and two more pics from the same lovely, lovely house:
