A buttercup yellow haven!

Monday 16 January 2012

Thanks very much for all the well wishes I received from Friday’s post. I spent the whole of the weekend with an ear-to-ear smile!

Now onto the business of spectacular houses… I’ve been busy snooping around other people’s homes again, trying to figure out how they manage to make their spaces look so inviting and beautiful. Common denominators here seem to be honey coloured glossy floors, thick Persian rugs and homely furniture. There also seems to be the perfect balance of bright, clean white walls and natural light paired with warm sumptuous textiles. (My favourite room in the house is the open plan living room/library). ‘Where is it’ I hear you ask? Well Sweden of course! Duh!

    Happy Belated Blog Birthday! I was having troubles with commenting on some blogs but it seems to be working now.

    PS. Forgetting the Golden Globes is a fine excuse ;-)

  8. This is - not a word of a lie - my DREAM HOUSE. I thought I had a good thing going here in Canada but clearly not. I'm going to pack right now ...
