Warm + Simple Home Tour :: House of Valentina
I have been feeling myself inching towards complete and absolute exhaustion, but the overwhelming simplicity and warmth of this beautiful home in Sweden gave me just the boost I needed.  It’s soothing design is like getting an instant shot of comfort in the veins and as soon as I saw it I felt so inspired!  I am so encouraged to realize all over again that you don’t have to own a million things to have a beautiful home, and living with less can actually feel quite liberating!

This home is about finding the balance between simple materials such as linen and clay and blending them with organic shapes, such as the modern round table and the curved cement vase.  A bit of earthiness and edginess keep it from feeling either too mundane or too tense.  The cotton stems are a compelling and ingenius addition as well!  Take a peek and see what you think…

___________________________________________

Here are some great pieces to help you live with less without sacrificing style::

Use a bar cart in the living room to hold plants and magazines.

This earthy vase will add the perfect amount of warmth and texture to any room in your home!

 A sofa slipcovered in linen is life heaven on earth.  Don’t forget the pillows!

Use modern lamps to add a bit of edginess to your designs.

Don’t forget to bring organic shapes into every room, especially the kitchen!

Invest in quality and timeless pieces to make every purchase count, but not everything has to break the bank!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
