Blue and White

Blue and White is such an elegant combination!

Goes with anything, really.

My kitchen in house in the North is blue.

Looks very similar to this one.

I love embroidery and fabrics and I love blue and white. 

This photo includes them both.

White or Colour?

or all white?

What's the palette of your choice?

This lovely chandellier from Sweden, reminds me of the one in my mom's dining room.

Showing our love around us.

 I loved reading the following passage in the blog's header:

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

What a beautiful lady! Do you feel the same about blogging? 

Wishing you happiness today and always,

Bright, white and pink

Fresh and happy home

This is home to the family of interior homeware company Rice, as published in the February issue of Living etc. I am eyeing this kind of lit du jour for my office. Ikea has one for 99 Euros and I can put one of our super comfy mattresses. People are usually shy with color and pattern when it comes to small places. I am all for color and pattern in small places, as long as they are tastefully combined. This guest room proves it.

Here is the family in their Danish home.

The kitchen units are from Ikea as is the tap. I have been looking for "shower" taps. They invariably cost about 500 Euros and upwards. This one from Ikea costs c.270Euros, which is half the price. It does look quite high going, though! I think I may opt for an olde English tap instead.

Not my cup of tea. Those people are not shy when it comes to using heirlooms. If you love it, I suppose...

This is the playroom and office. Difficult mix. It is a home office, of course, in which case it is better to have the kids playing around and checking on them.

Love the lampshades. They look like Rice plant workers to me!

And here is a photo of one of Rice's treasures. White with splashes of color. Beautiful bedspread!

Look how accents of color work best with simple units. Love the glossy baby blue tiles. See how cocordinating cushions are sitting tie-free on the stools. Love the white marble worktop. Sparkling. So fresh!
Look at what this lady did. Basic white Ikea type units (the worktop is Ikea), and style is all in the details: the SMEG refrigirator, the tap, the lettering. It is all in here.
Wow. Look at the aqua cushions. Simple, basic yet stylish pieces. Artwork making the scheme modern.
Functional, easy, white.
