A laid back Brooklyn apartment

Hello, how are you all today? I recently came across this great loft in Brooklyn, New York photographed by Brian W. Ferry. I love the owner's laid back style, the combination of black glossy floor with the matt white brick wall and the way they have displayed pictures through out the loft.

Photographer: Brian W Ferry

For sale here. Tempted?!

On Monday we saw a bike as a feature in the hallway but this home has taken it a step further with a motorbike. Do or don't?!

I also noticed everyone loved the map wallpaper in the kitchen yesterday both here and on Facebook, so I'm looking into where you can buy it - unless anyone knows?

PS Thanks for all your feedback, encouragement and tips on painting my stairs white yesterday. I am raring to get going now!

A white Stockholm space

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend! Monday morning's are tough and it takes me ages to crank into action! To ease the pain here's a lovely white home in Stockholm for some Monday morning inspiration. It's been doing the blog rounds here and here but I thought I'd show a few other images for a different take on this lovely apartment. I absolutely love the shelving in the sitting room and the way they have displayed objects, in fact the use of wall space in general really stands out through out the home. And turning your spare room into a make-shift walk in wardrobe? Never wrong!

I wish I could have just one fairly bike in the hallway like they have, but right now we have a bike, a tricycle, a pram and two scooters. Not exactly the cool look I was after!! Someone once told me that making the entrance hall clear of clutter is the most important as it's the first impression a visitor gets of your home. Have you achieved this with your hallway?

An inspiring interior portfolio

It's Friiiiiday! Yay! Here's a mix of lovely interior images from the portfolio of New York based photographer Emily Johnston Anderson. I often photograph spaces from my home and know just how difficult it is to get lighting right (I never do, but I'm working on it!). I love the way Emily plays with the light and uses items in the foreground to add depth. I have a lot to learn from her photos!

Before I head off into the night (oh, OK day - but it is Friday!....here are a few wonderful links from across the web for a little weekend reading:

The new issue of Covet Garden is out - woohoo! Take a look at some fabulous homes from the latest issue here. This is a perfect example of how a home can look lovely even if there are children's toys everywhere. This shop is so cute. I love that you can get an illustration of your little one made by the talented shop owner and she has the most lovely blog too. I recently recieved a lovely deer motif storage sack from SackMania and now I see they have the cutest birdy cushion.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  I'm heading over the bridge to Copenhagen tonight to celebrate my man's birthday, can't wait! Do you have any fun plans?
