Hello! I hope you had a great weekend and feel all ready for the week ahead (although, does anyone else find that Tuesday feels like the real start of the week i.e. when you're actually ready to get anything done?!). Today I'd rather take it easy and muse over this beautiful Danish space. Located in Denmark and captured by Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer, I love the way the space is fairly minimalist and pared-back and yet lovely and relaxed. It helps that the apartment has beautiful high ceilings, herringbone floors and large rooms too!  Let's take a tour....

I especially loved the children's room (I like how it looks 'loved and lived in' in these pictures, so refreshing?!). Did you notice that little collection of hats too?! This room's going straight to my children's inspiration Pinterest board! 

Is there anything that stood out to you?

Get the look: Eames chairs, vintage demijohns in lovely blues and greens, pom poms, sheepskin throw, vintage school chair, Loom + Field sells Moroccan wedding blankets (seen on bed) as well as other beautiful things.

I'm still reeling just a little from Friday's post. And I was soooo happy that Cathy Pyle could tell us a little more about the owner / interior designer on Instagram over the weekend. It makes me realise what a great online network we all have!

Have a lovely day!

I'm a big fan of Anne Black's beautiful ceramics (these hanging planters are a permanent fixture in my home). I was therefore soooo excited when I discovered pictures of her Copenhagen apartment ready for Christmas (shot by Birgitta Drejer). Anne's home is a lovely mix of mid-century finds, linens and of course - her signature ceramics against a backdrop of white. Let's take a tour....

I love the first picture of Anne baking with her daughter - so lovely! Making St Lucia buns and 'pepparkaka' or gingerbread biscuits with my girls is one of my favourite things about Christmas. There's never much leftover from the ingredients though - I'm not sure where it all goes....strange?!

What do you enjoy making at home?

Anne Black's ceramics are available here.


I mentioned earlier in the week that I have some exciting news and I'm finally able to reveal it tomorrow, so pop back if you have the time...

I hope you have a wonderful end to your week!

Hello! I have to admit I'm counting down the days to the weekend when I'm heading to London to visit friends and family - can't wait!  Are you up to anything fun? First though, there are fabulous Scandinavian homes to be explored, and today's comes in the form of a beautiful danish space.  Situated in Vesterbro, one of my favourite areas of Copenhagen, this lovely apartment belongs to architect Marie Rasmussen. The pared-back nature of the home combined with the simple colour scheme means every item of furniture and statement artwork pops out.  I'm loving the mix of antique, vintage and modern too.

What a great home! There are so many different 'zones' including somewhere calm to work, relax (that daybed and sitting room), eat and sleep. I absolutely love the artwork too.

A few items I recognise: Butterfly chair, 7 series chair, Anglepoise floor lamp, DLM sidetable, Kubus 8 candle holder. 

Is there anything that stands out to you?

Other beautiful homes captured by creative duo Tia and Mette include an idyllic Danish cottage,  a lovely student's home and a fab Copenhagen apartment with touches of mid-century. 

It was so interesting to read all your comments and discussions about how Christmas is celebrated in Australia a few days back. It sounds very different but great fun! I must try it at some point (I like the sound of going for a dip and tucking into seafood!). Your thoughts truly bring the posts alive - thank you!

Have a lovely day!
