More Danish design

One last foray into the incredible world of Danish blogs (seriously, there are loads. Google struggles somewhat with the translation!), and this time it's Resignert.

Just some inspiration

Today I came across Great Things & Chocolate, a really lovely blog full of inspiring ideas. Definitely not possible to incorporate all these ideas into our modest new space, but it's really nice to look at the pictures. 











Love the black and white checked floor in the kitchen - considering doing this in our own kitchen.

Colour pop

I really love the idea of white floors, walls etc but with vibrant pops of colour here and there. Definitely planning to salvage a few pieces of furniture and bring them back to life with a fresh coat of brightly coloured paint. 








The top 2 images are from Sunny's blog, which I have recently discovered and will definitely be returning to, and the rest are from Shine Design. Love the tin makeover. Then again I love all boxes, tins, cartons, crates....sigh.  


And the below, I believe, comes from House Doctor, an amazing Danish shop which is sadly unavailable in the UK.

Rummage

Today, a little inspiration from Rummage: 








Love the quilt in the second picture - now that really would take a long time to make.

More textiles...

Feeding my fetish for printed fabric...take a look at the below:










(Top to bottom: Umbrella Prints via Decor8, Twins Garden, Scarlet Fig, Parasol Co) 


Scarlet Fig uses Spoonflower to print her designs on fabric, which is an amazing company who can print your designs for not much money. They're in America, but ship internationally - yay!

Orla Kiely wallpaper

We have a little office 'nook' in the new flat, which is crying out for some quirky decoration. I received the Orla Kiely pattern book for my birthday and was inspired to decide on her stem print wallpaper for the nook. The top picture is the design that I think I'm going to go for:




Fortunately for me, my lovely brother said he would buy me any wallpaper of my choice when we moved in as a belated birthday present. So far, the Orla Kiely is winning!

Boxes and paper (my geeky obsession)

Imagine my joy when I came across Rie Elise Larsen's website. This is literally a shop that was made for me, to indulge all my strange obsessions. Just look!









Apparently there is a stockist in Lewes which is not far from us, so I may well pay a little visit!
