“You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path.”

Mixin’ Frames & Art

It’s a superb way to make a room interesting, lively and homely. The more mixing, the better! Above is a wonderful example of that fact. Gorgeousness on a wall.

I also like the pic left, found via Abigail Ahern’s facebook page. In her signature eclectic style mixing (and mis-matching) is essential. And adorable! It’s quite a job to find the odd pieces, but the only way forward is to start collecting.

I am a firm believer that the common denominator in the mix – the unifying link – can and may be one single thing: art that in one way or the other speaks to you. And always remember, no rules apply.

Dining Spaces

I’ve just dug into my folder of dining area inspiration. A plentiful and varied chapter! I still favour the mix-and-missmatch idea when it comes to table and chairs, but there are numerous ways to do it. And a zillion ways to make this space inviting and appetizing. Now here’s a few for inspiration.

And some more.

the one stop for quirky & glamorous decor

Just a quick spotlight: Abigail Ahern’s new website/webshop is live. This place surely is a very happy hunting ground of quirky individualism, with lovely dog lamps, beautiful vases, majestic lighting and much more.  A personal favourite is the faux flowers – they look just amazing in reality. Also, new site has a page with Abigail’s latest loves, updated each month.

5 Blogs We Dig

There’s a challenge going on in the Swedish blogosphere: to select 5 favourite blogs. I have to choose on a very ‘right now’ basis because it’s ever-changing. So here it goes, 5 fav blogs – in the interior design area – in no particular order:

  • Solid frog. Why? It has great content! Lovely pics and above all: style is varied, creative and fun, it’s not only the “usual” stuff. (Blog language: English)
  • atelier abigail ahern. Why? Because she is the coolest interior designer on earth, of course! Very inspirational. (Blog language: English)
  • style made simple. Why? Again the content is varied with pics and styles from all around. (Blog language: Hungarian & English)
  • UnderbaraClara. Why? She’s adorable and most certainly also her house is. Retro and countryish vintage with a huge portion of creativity. (Blog language: Swedish)
  • purple area. Why? It’s good, it’s comptetent, it’s meat and potatoes: it covers the broad strokes. (Blog language: Swedish & English)
