Thanks to a really great article on Designer’s Top Cities to Shop In, I fell down a rabbit hole of interior delight after noticing that Disc Interiors shares our obsession with Copenhagen. With a great appreciation of imperfect beauty that comes with an aging home, Disc Interiors’ principle designers, Krista Schrock and David John…
Zara Home A/W 2016 Catalog is A MUST SEE!
I know it’s still summer, but for many of us with kids, back to school is in full swing and that definitely has our minds thinking of fall. (Have any of your kids started back to school? Ours start next week.) I got so excited when I saw that the Zara…
Do You Have a Swedish Sista’ From Anotha’ Mista’? I think I found Mine.
At first glance I was all, “OMG. It’s so amazing. I want to live like this…” when I first saw this artist’s studio apartment in Sweden. (Because clearly the best way to cure homesickness and re-entry is to look at something really beautiful from where you just left and rub it in…
The Devastating Side of Moving… And Finding The Silver Lining.
It was bittersweet. And it came as a complete shock. Because I never expected to feel so sad after receiving our “home” from Europe, but there it was… rough, raw, painful emotions mixed with euphoric happiness. It didn’t take long for the low feeling to hit, but I pushed it away for hour upon…
I’m voting Neutral!
Neutral? Is that even an option for the upcoming presidential election? I don’t think so, but either way, there is no way that I am even touching that subject. I have a policy that I don’t pick fights that I can’t win and I’m pretty sure both sides are looking pretty rough. So, changing the…
BUDGET FRIENDLY OFFICE INSPIRATION
I am slowly getting back up and running after our shipment arrived last week (I promise to share loads more very soon!) Of course going from 10 suitcases plus beds and a tv on a cardboard box to a shipping crate full of boxes is exciting, but it has suddenly presented a new problem……
Swedish Bohemian in Malmö
Ever struggled to translate what you see in a shop into something applicable to your own home? I know I do! While we were photographing our Malmö Guide, Niki introduced me to the gorgeous shop, Miloii, which is packed with beautiful homewares and clothing. When I walk into a shop like this, I feel…
RAW ELEGANCE :: Striking The Balance
Creating an elegant home doesn’t have to be stuffy or glossy, especially when you place luxurious materials alongside everyday objects and raw textures. Raw elegance is about finding the balance between taking your breath away and giving yourself somewhere cozy to unwind. Some winning combinations are concrete and velvet, marble and linen, homemade…
Joining The Dine In Kitchen Trend? Bring The Table!
Islands? Be gone! Breakfast Room? Yawn, yawn. How last millennium! Open Concept Kitchen? Not Good enough. We want more. We want a DINE IN Kitchen. So, we’ve moved in. (Well, not us. We are still living like fugitives with nothing more than a couple beds and the clothes on our backs) but the…
AFFORDABLE MODERN THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KISS
For those of us who have not had the good fortune to win the lottery, be born into wealth, or have children with straight teeth (thanks mom and dad for my braces. Who woulda thought those things could be so expensive?)… we need a little help on the budget side of things…
10 Weekend Finds :: You’re Exactly Where U Need To B
I’m pretty sure that moving back after 12 years abroad and trying to settle quickly has been one of the most stressful things we’ve ever done. It’s not that we aren’t happy. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. We could be happy in so many places! Ah, the joys of a vivid imagination!…
European Sophistication Meets Southern Charm
It was love at first sight for me. The moment I saw this home I wanted it for my own. It’s right up the street from me in Winward, one of North Atlanta’s most sought after neighborhoods. And it is beautiful. Since we aren’t quite ready to buy, I am passing along the information…
