That’s what I love. I didn’t know about photographer Ashley Campbell, until I stumbled upon a reference to her blog Under the Sycamore in French Côté Maison. I also learned she sometimes writes about DIY on Design*Sponge. Anyways, the bohemian spirit in these pics makes me so happy…

An absolutely amazing kitchen wall – gorgeous mix.

Hello! Now I’m back and refreshed from a week in sunny Majorca. I love that island, it’s so beautiful and nice. Here’s a round of charming and trendy details. First, a lovely countryish room with granny-vibed wallpapers, a rag rug, vintage furniture and well, loads of charm! Next, an idea for frames – why not fill the empty beautiful golden frame with some nice piece of fabric? In this case it’s just hanging, but it could also be pulled aside and fixed with a little tassle.

Pant hangers as art displayers – again! A very nice, trendy and low-budget alternative. Can be varied endlessly. And below that, a kind of new trend in wall decor: arrows! These are home made, from the webshop quivver.

Some time ago, I pondered whether there’s a correlation between people’s tastes in music and – not only clothes they wear, but also – interior design styles and home decor choices. And yes, I figure it may very well be so. All are expressions of personal preferences and surely they can be more or less consistent but it boils down to the same core. As for myself – a lover of alt.country and music with storytelling/folk roots – I’m not really sure how this translates to my interiors, but I have traced some signs :) Defining a song or a music style for each room is indeed an exciting project! Try it. I can’t stop doing it now that I started… Anyhow, I found a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Annis Brander that – if we downsize the cabaret influences – offers great eclectic-boho inspiration. There’s a country base, with folk tunes, elements of clean Swedishness, boho-charm-gypsy as well as my much-loved circus-theme and old glamour. Perfectly missmatched.

This meets my early May feelings; charming vintage, faded gracefulness, relaxed boho..

…the unpretentious ‘summer-house’-vibe. Imperfectly perfect.

A tiny red cottage, in between Stockholm’s city and archipelago, houses this charmig little kitchen. It reminds a lot of the fabulously styled theatre pub I wrote about the other day. About their interior style, the couple living in this house say (the eclectic key words): “You can find gems within all styles. Why zero in on one when you can have them all?”
