While the invention of color television is considered one of our recent history’s greatest accomplishments, I have an apparent obsession for all things black and white. I blame the Scandinavian winters. They are like a scene out of Frozen in which we have been cursed into a perpetual winter. Did the Scandinavians miss the…

Best Interior Design Books That Your home is begging for
The invention of pinterest and Instagram have been life altering, as in, we once had hours to do all sorts of things like run laundry, meet up for coffee dates with friends, and make dinners, but these days, we spend more time pinning what we could do rather than what we are. Or am…
Is an All White Family Home An Act of Insanity? Maybe.

Our Modern Kitchen BEFORE And AFTER
It’s very rare that a room ever stays exactly the same, unless it is a museum and things are only picked up, dusted, and put back into place. A kitchen, especially, sees some serious daily use, unless you are Carrie Bradshaw and use the oven to store your shoes… What a fabulous thought! For…
Why Design Outside the Box when you can Create IN IT?
Life isn’t always so simple. When we are young and carefree we think nothing of throwing away the boundaries that hold our lives together. Drawing outside the lines or coloring our trees red is as natural as breathing, but as we grow older, the box offers safety… and sometimes safety feels awfully…

Small, Dark, & Edgy ::
Small, Dark, and Edgy? No, I am not talking about myself, (ha, ha!) but rather this super cool space in one of my favorite Swedish towns, Gothenburg. There’s no use lyin’. I’m completely jealous over those black floors and trim. I’ve been saying for at least a year that I want to…
