Skraddaregatan: Swedish Design

I am in love with this Swedish "Dala Horse" bean bag. The Dala Horse is a over 400 years old, and if you are Swedish it is a well recognized symbol found on just about everything you own. I am personally torn on what my style will be. I love Swedish minimalism, but I do not want to be entirely modern. I love dark woods, but also love painted white wood. I have determined that I want all doors, and trim in my home to be all white, with very subdued paint on the walls. I love the way dark furniture looks like it's floating in this kind of room (mixed with white and dark woods). I want to honor my heritage while keeping with other traditions as well.

Rubie Green - 100% Organic Perfection. When Michelle Adams formed her company Rubie Green in 2008, her intention was to make simple chic fabrics and bedding without harming the environment. The site is gorgeous and invigorating. You feel like you are smelling fresh washed linens as you gaze at the images. If you like bold patterns I would highly recommend this site.

So I learned a new Interior Design term "Quatrefoil." While this form originally was used in Christianity, it is now finding it's way into our homes. It means "four leaves", and applies to general tetra-lobed shapes in different forms. Regardless, of it's history it is making a big splash in interiors. Hickory Chair Furniture is now carrying Suzanne Kasler's gorgeous southern-style furniture. She truly knows how to create a grand home!

Wallpaper lust: Cole & Son
Name: Woods

If you have ever had the pleasure of wandering through a forest of birch trees, then you know how incredibly beautiful the contrast of white & black is against the leaves and snow. Cole & Son's "Woods" wallpaper perfectly captures the feeling of being surrounded by trees. The contrast is elegant and is an ingenious departure from boring white walls!
