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.
The first thing I need to confess is that I was a little afraid of moving into an all white house with kids. I didn’t say much about my fears at the time because I was too busy blissfully decorating my dream home in Copenhagen and could barely sleep because I was…
Out of the Closet :: Casual Friday
My daughter and her friend from school have been with me all week, assisting me with photo shoots as a part of their school’s internship program. I’ve had a total blast with my little assistants (who are not quite so little any more and quite significantly taller than me, too) but I…

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…
Would You Rather:: Traditional Suburban or Urban Industrial?
Every now and then it’s fun to imagine what it would be like to live in someone else’s shoes… or better yet, their home. While Scandinavians are known most for their modern, very monochromatic interiors, there are actually many people who have very traditional homes with luxury materials and even when Scandis go for…
NYC CONDO :: CALM & EARTHY IN THE CITY
When most of us think of calm and earthy, we associate those words with the country side and certainly not the middle of one of the most bustling cities in the world, NYC. This condo defies all those preconceptions and really inspires one to believe that is is possible to find peace…
LIVED IN SWEDISH STYLE :: Truest form of luxury is comfort
There are so many things to love about Swedish style and this home has so many that it’s hard to narrow them all down. First, the balance between elegance and comfort, which to me, go hand in hand immediately make you feel special yet welcome because the truest form of luxury is…
