Beautiful danish spaces by House Doctor

The more days I go into the new year the more I realise 2014 is going to be great! I feel so inspired by fresh starts at this time of the year. There's also all the new collections starting to appear, and nothing warms my heart more than the first signs of Spring in a home. So today's inspiration comes from the fab danish brand House Doctor and their hot off the press Everyday 2014 collection.

Take home inspiration for me? It's got to be the nautical striped day bench with pale blue cushions. So cute! How about you?

On Friday I showed a home for those who need a little new year de-clutter inspiration (me). I've become even more inspired by this since reading The Happiness Project (have you read it?) in which de-cluttering the home is seen as the very first step in the path to improved happiness.....pass me the bin bags! Oh and if you need any more prompting - how about this nautical striped storage bag to match the day bench?!

More Danish inspiration required for a Monday? how about this Danish oasis in Cannes, this home of a Danish stylist or one of the most popular homes I've shown here: A danish home on a hill.

Have a lovely day!

Tiny Fawn Collages

A solo un día de la noche mágica para nuestros niños, os quiero mostrar el trabajo de

Darrah Dean Gooden inspirado en las ilustraciones de los cuentos infantiles, ella es una artista que trabaja con un

tipo de collage, en el que usa capas sobre capas de papel de seda de colores con las que crea impresiones que son

una reminiscencia de los libros infantiles.

Con aspecto de acuarelas,delicadas, dulces y engañosamente simples ,pero que si observáis detenidamente

revelan una profundidad y textura en el que las criaturas parece que cobran vida.

Si quieres ver más de su trabajo puedes hacerlo en su tienda de Etsy Fawn Tiny

Las impresiones tienen un ambiente luminoso y moderno que puede funcionar igual de bien

en una sala de estar o la habitación de un niño

¿No os dan ganas de coger un poco de papel de seda y las tijeras y empezar a probar?

A de-cluttered monochrome Swedish home

If I do one thing this year with my home it's de-clutter. My sister and her family have just stayed and I was so embarrassed every time someone opened a cupboard - something would always come flying out! So my mission is to do a big clear out, but when?! Does anyone else have this problem? Do you feel organised at home? This Swedish apartment can serve as my de-clutter inspiration, it's just so clean, practical and neat.

JM via Feel Inspired

Apart from the neat factor, my favourite thing about this black and white Swedish home are the lamps. The wall lights are such a practical way of getting light to a space where you need to move the light around such as in my sitting room. As you know the Flos 265 has been a favourite of mine since forever. Will this be the year I finally get one?!

Got to love the Eames RAR too - I think this and the DAW look best in black (you can always get 15% off these with code MYSCAN :).

After some more monochrome inspiration? What about this Stockholm home with a mid-century touch and this Malmö home - so fab in their own black and white way.

I received an e-mail yesterday from the clothes designer behind the dress I showed in my 'all that glitters' new year's eve piece. Jeffrey Monteiro designed the fab piece in 2011 for Bill Blass. I would love a party dress like that, wouldn't you? So exciting to hear from the talented designer himself.

Have a lovely weekend and see you Monday!

A bright, white and airy Dutch home

Happy new year! I hope you had a fantastic end to 2013 and have recovered from new year's eve?...nothing cleared out the cobwebs better than a trip to kallbadhus sauna pier yesterday. I feel I'm all ready for the year ahead now and I'm so happy my blog is getting back to normal after the break (I've missed it!). So, as promised, here's the first home tour (of many) for 2014. It's the beautiful Dutch home of Nancy Berendsen photographed by Holly Marder in all it's white and pastel glory.

Holly Marder

What do you think? I love the tones, it's very pretty and relaxed with just enough colour for my taste.

More pastel home inspiration can be found here and here. And do you remember this other Dutch home and children's room photographed by Holly - she never fails to find a fab house!

You can see lots more of this beautiful, bright and airy home here.

If you're in need of a 2014 wall calendar don't forget you can always download the My Scandinavian Home one here.

Have a lovely day!

Home Organizing Solutions

A new year, a fresh start! Happy 2014 friends! :)

I don't know about you, but I couldn't be happier to welcome the new year. It's a chance to begin again and create things anew, which I always love. I'm excited to see what this year brings. Of course, every January I get a giant urge to purge, deep clean, and organize. I've been doing a ton of just that in my home since Christmas and I can't wait to show you my new, tidy pantry. Even the "playroom" got a big overhaul already. Have you been on an organizing kick too? If you need some inspiration to help get the spaces in your home organized, you can look at the "Organization" tab at the top of my blog (I updated it over the break) or scroll through today's post at some of my favorite organizing projects I've done in my own house. No room or space is safe from these organizing hands in the near future!
