10 Things I Love

1. I love NATURAL LIGHT:
Natural light is the most important quality in making a space beautiful. Multiple unadorned windows, pale colours, and a spare hand in decorating enhance the light in this already architecturally-stunning space.

2. I love STORAGE:

These simple and inexpensive bins are decorative and sensible too! 3. I love WHITE:
It creates the most restful spaces and gives a gallery-feel to all your special pieces...

4. I love WHITE with colour!

These white spaces with pretty splashes of whimsical candy colour make me smile all the way to my soul...

5. I love BUDGET DECORATING:

Think outside the box (or inside!)...

6. I love PINK:

I adore a dash of pink in every room. This room is a little busy for me, but the lamp steals the show. I don't know when I fell in love with this colour but it has me wrapped around its little finger!

7. I love ART:
Sophisticated, simple, naive, or exquisite...art is a glorious gift to our eyes and our minds. It doesn't have to complicated...whatever you can afford or make for yourself is fine, as long as it makes you happy and proud to display it. The choices of frame and mat shapes and styles is endless.

8. I love BLUE:

Blue has always been my favorite colour and I never tire of it, in all its hues.

9. I love FURNITURE with HISTORY...

Good quality furniture with character and simplicity doesn't need to be replaced, just loved...


10. I love that LESS is MORE...

One super-star piece is all that's required to make this hall captivating!

  2. I agree with everything you said except for one. In my world, less is less. :)

    Have you been finding it very helpful to actually write down what you love? Have you started your course yet? Will you be able to share a taste of it with us? I'm so full of questions...

  3. Blue is my favourite colour followed closely by yellow. I also think that less is more and much prefer a less cluttered look. I love plenty of storage. I'm not as keen on white as you are though. There are classy whites...perhaps for those without dogs and kids? Otherwise it turns fingerprinty-gray. I like colour. Rooms of yellow, blue, green...some people do the pale extremely well (Restyled Home and yourself for example) and others do an amazing job with vibrant colours on the walls. I sort of limp along somewhere in the middle!!

  11. Hej
    I do love all the things there. And especially the natural light we have around us. Unfortunatley we have no light outside from november till now in february so when the sun gets back we jump of joy and all people are outdoor and sort of get out of winter sleep as the bears here do :-D

    So light, yes, that is great right now.

    Many hugs
    Katarina
