| lovely lovely bedding.. / spring news at west elm |

Let’s stay a while on the wallpaper trail. How about these amazing new wallpapers from Dutch Pip Studio? Available now in The Netherlands, and worldwide by Jan 2012. They are like updated interpretations of Grannys old wallpapers. Almost resembling the interiors of a doll house, I think these are both cool and utterly pretty.

If not for a social area or bedroom, I find them particularly suitable for (often all too..) boring areas, like a hallway. Or a laundry room. A guest room, or not least, a bathroom!  Or a home office (depending if it feels right for the work undertaken, of course).

Immediate wow-factor, just like that. Best idea however, it to put together a few of these lovlies and mix them. A lenght of this, a length of that, and the rest is paint. Beautiful.

This home is featured in Danish Bolig Magasinet headed “Luxury home on a budget”; through a thorough search for 2nd hand stuff you can surround yourself with great things in spite of a relatively modest budget. Danes, Danes, Danes….they are so creative and fun! A style that is very much Scandinavian, but far far from rigid white, bright fresh and sterile.

The residents themselves say it like this:

It’s all about mixing styles, to buy a few things of good quality, to know your local charity shop and plow through ‘Den Blå Avis’ [the Danish equivalent to Craigslist/Blocket] In addition, online auctions such as Lauritz.com and Qxl.dk are great places to make good purchases. There’s really no reason to buy everything new.
