The Trendy Entomologist & The Return of Pine Wood

Posted on 2012/09/12 by Mia in Art & Illustrations, AW2012, Birds & insects, industrial vintage, scandinavian

The trendy entomologist is now highly present also in IKEA‘s pics! There’s been quite a lot of circulation lately of the butterfly poster BILD with motif by Maria Mendez (priced $12/£10!) and the brand new canvas SIBBARED by Kai Legaard and Tina Christensen. IKEA nowadays makes it so easy to hop on (and off) current trends! I actually really like the raw rustic/industrial style they are showing right now. Apparently the collection takes much insipration from 1880′s – 1920′s old farms, factories & schools. One crucial element in this style is raw untreated pine wood. Pine is back for sure! But not in the polished/yellowish way it left. Now it’s fresh, newly cut & raw. It feels very…Swedish! So I gathered some more pine wood inspiration | pics: 1 & 2, 3, 4, 5 |

Scandinavian Wood & Browngreyish

Posted on 2012/09/10 by Mia in AW2012, Dark Painted Walls, Dining/Living room, scandinavian


I think these pics represents a very stylish style. Airy Scandinavian with a retro touch and blends of woods, browns and black. | pic sources: 1, 2, 3 & 4, 5 | To me personally, it’s slightly too minimal & catalogueish to be adopted throughout a home. But for one room – especially like a kitchen or dining area – it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful style concepts I can think of. This Autumn has seen another va ba boom in painted walls:  blueish or browish greys.
Time to grab the paint brush and try it? Well, I’m tempted for sure!

Mostly though, looking at the beautiful pics of Scandi style with dark colour drama, I realize I miss some crucial parts. Those are represented below: green plants, lively homeliness and some warm & cozy textiles.

blossom moth sisters

Posted on 2012/09/07 by Mia in Birds & insects

Just wanted to say, these adorable moth sisters will go into Mr Finch’s etsy shop at 6 pm UTC/GMT +1 today.

That is in two hours. Too little time to figure out which one to invite home, they are all irresistible!

Update: At 10 pm, dinner eaten, ready to buy, my moth lady was gone. Same happened with the peculiar (textile art) girl who dreamt so much she was pretty her head turned into a flower…Lesson learned. And hey you lucky entomologist quicker-than-me, take care of the girl bottom left.

Hi Autumn!

Autumn 2012 by Toast.

The Autumn hasn’t arrived meteorologically here in Stockholm just yet, but definitely emotionally and certainly interior-wisely. I think this pic very well represents the swing over to a new season. The caramel-coloured retro sofa, the arty vibe and the mix of warming cushions…

Peace

White with apricot/pink, gold & copper. How’s this for a guest room?

So peaceful. Just enough warmth and edge to make it charming.

And here’s some gorgeous new cushions from the Adler collection, “bobo pillows” – bohemian bliss!

just a room

Posted on 2012/09/04 by Mia in country, Dining/Living room, folklore, Frame Groupings, Mild Wall Colours

There’s really nothing overly special about this room (via estate agent esny). Yet it’s very nicely decorated I think. Or maybe undecorated, i.e. not decorated by the book but by heart. I love the little corner on the right hand side. The paintings above and around the door opening. The bushy plant in a bucket. It can’t really be defined into a style; closest would probably be country/folklore in a city flat. Anyway, I love the vibe.
