Inspiration Theme: Grandmother’s House

Posted by Mia on Jun 9, 2010 in country, DIY With Textiles, other decor themes |

We continue the Grandmother-Is-A-Decor-Hero track with this pic from the home of Underbaraclara‘s grandmother. This colour explosion of a house was decorated in times when decor-anxiety did not exist. Interior magazines had not seen the light, let alone interior blogs, and people did not use to put grades on what is ugly and what is nice. Furnished and decorated from the owner’s head and heart. Just as it should be.

Underbaraclara herself (yes, that is her name, Wonderful Clara, highly appropriate!) holds Grandmother as a role model in her own house decorating. Below is a fine example. She has sewn a curtain out of kitchen towels – easy and amazingly nice and summery in an old house or a cottage. And perhaps it is Grandmother herself who has weaved the fine rag rugs that adorn the floors.
