Although Trendey is having a dormant (or at least irregular) period – just tuning in every now and then – we’ve had loads of lovely comments and linking and facebook liking lately: Just want to say thank you all muchly! :) Special thanks to Desire to inspire for putting Trendey on the reading guide and to Spanish Etxekodeco for naming Trendey a favourite! Makes Trendey’s heart pump fast & happily. And foremost, thank you all masses for leaving notes in the comments field. It’s so much fun to hear from you. Here’s a beautiful bedroom for you to relax your eyes on. Have a great week!

The Here And Now

Mia — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:33:16 +0000

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.

And yes, I still work like a horse. These gorgeous pics cheered me up, hope they do the same for you :)

beigeish & soft relaxation

Mia — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 13:43:44 +0000

This picture from the front cover of World of Interiors June 2011 issue really appeals to me. It steams vacation and relaxation. In an exotic faraway place (like Morocco :)) The ethnic/grobetrotter trend that smashed in late spring seems to have gone on holiday but I am convinced it’ll be back full furce once it’s Autumn.

I tried to find a song for these lovely moody beigeish interiors – via from the right bank – and keep thinking it’s something by Anna Ternheim. What does your ears tell you?

Globetrotterish Bathrooms

Mia — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 21:39:54 +0000

The latest issue of Elle Decoration (April ’11) has global theme – the globetrotter style of decorating is trendier than ever – so let us, this late March evening, groove on some globetrotterish/etnhic/eclectic bathrooms. Being a Swede I’m starved of nicely decorated bathrooms…! For some (inexplicable) reason, we have a tradition in this country of ignoring that part of home decor. But: bathrooms are rooms too :)

Caramel Cream & Blueberries

Mia — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 21:49:07 +0000

Oh, wouldn’t that be nice! I’d like a freshly baked blueberry pie with vanilla sauce, please. Decorwise, I think this colour combo is inspiring. Light browns (including blonde wood) with blues or a caramel background with blue elements or details. This dining room is so well-composed I think! So, this is what inspire me today:

A Danish Globetrotter Style

Mia — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 03:13:55 +0000

This home, featured in Danish Boligmagasinet, is another variation of the popular ethno-eclectic, globetrotterish, style theme. In it’s base very Scandinavian, palish and raw, yet stylishly refreshed with the ethno-inspired textiles and details. Nice to see some pineapples again! I especially fancy the sofa corner. The bucket of flowers and the painting completes it.

spring-fresh retro style
