Hamilton Design Associates






When I saw a tasty post filled with bold pattern and vibrant color on Gorgeous Shiny Things, I wasn't at all surprised to learn they were designed by Ellen Hamilton of Hamilton Design Associates. (She was, after all, the mastermind behind this marvelous bedroom.) Her portfolio is full of bold, colorful design, but also these dreamy seaside escapes too. That kitchen!!! Oh my word. Excuse me while I stare off into these images....it's snowing here....again. Ugh!!!

Litt mer Drømmekjøkken...

Det var et par rom fra Idèhuset som jeg ikke rakk å vise dere på fredag, så de kommer her:)

                                                         Kaos, er vel det rette ordet her!?...

                                                  Et herlig Herregårdskjøkken er på plass!:)
                                   Synes disse flisene og den koselige grønne tapeten hører til her!
 
Til slutt lekerommet! Fint å være for ungene mens mor og far ser på kjøkken!! Her har jeg valgt et gulvbelegg på veggen. Litt artg, vel?!

Takk for hyggelige tilbakemeldinger på det forrige innlegget!
hyggelig at dere likte det!:)

              Ha en fortsatt fin søndag!



Drømmekjøkkenet før og etter...

Jeg synes alltid det er så moro å se på før/etter bilder på blogger og i interiørblader, så nå kommer en liten kavalkade her fra meg også. Vet ikke om noen husker det, men i våres hadde jeg et oppdrag som bestod i å finne tapeter, gulver, gardiner, fliser og farger til Idèhuset AS, i Tistedal. De selger Drømmekjøkken, som har masse fine kjøkkeninnredninger. So here we go!:)

Jeg begynner med inngangspartiet. Ganske kjedelig i utgangspunktet....

                         ...men med litt maling med lekre farger, så ble førsteinntrykket et helt annet:)

                                                                          Resepsjonen...

...trengte absolutt ett anskiktsløft! Med en kul tapet og litt opprydding, ble det som nytt!

                                                          Et tomt hjørne har blitt til....

... et sprekt inform, med rødt knottegulv og røde barkrakker!

Et litt tamt eikekjøkken ble spritet opp med..

...en lekker tapet, nye fliser, nytt gulv, ny liftgardin, ny lampe og ny kjøkkenøy!

                                Her er et bøkekjøkken som trengte å fremheves litt, og til det, fant jeg en.....

... kul, stipete tapet, som jeg synes fikk fram gløden i kjøkkenet!

Nok et tomt hjørne...

...som jeg fant en sprek lilla tapet og spesialsydde liftgardiner til. Tøft til det lysegrå kjøkkenet!
Bare synd ikke tapeten synes litt mer, for den har et litt metallisk skinn...

                                                      Her ser du den kanskje litt bedre?

Her er andre siden av kjøkkenet. Sjekk de lekre mosaikkflisene i sølv!!

Det var alt for i dag, men dere skal få se resten en annen dag! Hvis det er noe dere lurer på ang. farger, vegger, gulv ol,  kan dere sende meg en mail til n-e2@online.no, eller skrive en kommentar under her, så skal jeg svare etter beste evne. Tok bare så lang tid å forklare alt det nå!:)

Er tross alt Korslaget i kveld, og det skal jeg kose meg med før 3 nattevakter i helga! Stønn!...

  PS! Må bare takke for alle de koselige kommentarer jeg får av dere!! Jeg har ikke vært så flink til å svare i det siste, noen ganger strekker bare ikke tiden til..... Men de varmer!!)

Ønsker dere en riktig fin helg!!






The Dunes And The Duchess


Don't you guys love showhouses?? They're always so fun, filled with inspiration. This particular library designed by Patricia LaPierre of Greenwich Design Architects was in the Shippan Designer Showhouse. The space was styled by Stacy Kunstel and photographed by Michael Partenio. The talented duo actually started their own company last fall called Dunes and Duchess. They create the most amazing, giant candelabras and lamps in the coolest colors. (You can see more here...love all those photos!) If you happen to be going to the NYIGF next week, stop by and check out some of their new stuff. (And say hi to them for me for me!) Ooh and Stacy is one of the speakers at the Design Bloggers Conference! I am getting so excited for that!

Campagne Décoration








Ladies, your tea is ready!! I thought since you guys loved that French home so much that I shared a couple ago, you might appreciate this one too. Gracing the cover of this month's Campagne Décoration (Country Decoration), the darling space is made for delectable treats, pleasant conversation and a little bit of sunshine. What a magnifique way to spend an afternoon!

Incredible Wooden Bathtub



Have any of you ever seen a wooden bathtub before?! I didn't even know they existed! Inspired by the comfort of an antique armchair and the sweeping sheer of a sailboat, Bath in Wood of Maine has been crafting wooden bathtubs for three years. This particular double bathtub featured in Design New England is made from a deep-sealed Honduran mahogany. Imagine how long the water would stay warm in that! (And what fun kids would have pretending it was a boat!) Oh, and the bead-board wainscoting is painted Benjamin Moore's Silver Marlin. How could I forget! To learn more about these unique wooden tubs, head over here!

Country Decor





You just don't see stuff like this here in the States. Straight out of France, this home featured in Campagne Décoration is storybook beautiful. I can't even imagine eating dinner at that dining table, surrounded by the aqua-painted eighteenth century woodwork. Don't even get me started on a soak in that tub! And that armoire is killing me! See more of this glorious home right over here!

Turquoise And Pink Girl Room







If anyone can prove that good design doesn't always have to cost a fortune, it's the talented Judy of DIY by Design. She recently revealed the transformation of her ten year-old daughter's room, who requested her space have aqua in it. Judy chose Benjamin Moore Whispering Spring for three of the walls, and stenciled the pink wall all by herself! Amazing! In fact, so much of what you see Judy made by herself, in addition to a few great finds from Home Goods, Target or PB Kids. You have to head over to her blog for more images and to read all about this dreamy space!

Design Bloggers Conference




It is therefore not surprising that the boy clean room is small and easy outside Scandinavia. I saw it on Norwegian Interior Blogger, but you can check more information about space on the blog Norwegian Bo happiness. A note: I studied two years at the Norwegian College, part of the full-time in Oslo. Today, my Norwegian? Ikke så bra. It is good, pleasant rooms and good pictures speak a universal language!

So, did you hear about all the guys at the next conference Design bloggers? This is a two-day conference in Los Angeles in late February. So many of our favorite design bloggers are talking about, and even more to participate. (You can see the list of both.) Can you imagine ... two days totally focused on blogging design?! Meeting all our friends in cyber?! Networking with people super-talented?! What a dream! I officially decided that I frequent, so if any of you are so good, so let me know!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!

Honey Collins









This delightful 1903 Shingle Style home in Massachusetts's North Shore photo of Michael J. Lee also design and elegance of New England to the case of the Old South The challenge for designers of interior decoration Honey Collins face in this classic New England house was to comply with the formalities associated with the same time, it feels hot, exciting and fresh. I like the combination of models everywhere, and the perfect combination of subtle and bold colors. "Landing Room" is great, I'd like to have a space for this.
