Interior: Danish Modern living


i have a weak spot for danish design. i used to work for a furniture company that sold danish furniture and the danes would come over and visit a few times a year. i loved hearing about denmark, their thoughts on american designers and got made fun of by pronouncing arne jacobsen's name "the american way". i found this beautiful interior from bolig magasinet. i don't speak danish but think the home belongs a young artist couple that has a pottery company. see the article and the rest of the photos here.

Lighting: Magdalena from Terzani


my husband sent me a photo of this light from his iphone the other day and in the body of the email it simply stated "i want this light! it looks like the deathstar." so, of course, i email the lighting rep, find out what it is and the pricepoint. i wrote back "it's the magdalena from terzani and is $2,500. sorry." ha. we can both dream though...right? i love the way the light reflects a labrynth. it comes in white, tin and gold plated.
oh, and i love the red cord too.

Finish: Modern table runner


i am sad to say that i do not own a dining table. it is something that i am willing to not have and wait until the right piece comes to me. my husband and i have moved 4 times in 7 years and in each move we purge...a lot. when we moved to the loft we slept on a mattress on the floor for months because we hated our bed and didn't want to take it with us. well, now in the house, we have no dining table because of this same thought process. i do look quite frequently and like to think about what table runner i would like to have on my pretend table. i think one of these three will work! definitely!

Finish: Recap round (two)!

i spend quite a bit of time finding the right finishes for walls. most of the time, because of budget restraints, i am forced to use paint but, i would love to use any of the following wall finishes instead!

Interior: Absolute Zero Degrees


the home/work space for absolute zero degrees is one of my favorite interiors so far. i love the simplicity, colors, furnishings, patterns, and art. i could easily live here and not change a single thing. i already have that bedroom suite! check out the original post at d*s here.

these stools are so sweet!

isn't this green fun? yum on the chairs too.

LOVE the furniture and wallpaper!
look at those fun sconces over the bed and the art is so sweet.
