black, white, and a splash of colour

so, i'm moving, again.  big surprise.  this time in my apartment hunt, i'm going to take into consideration the things i can not change.   i can't make a black countertop white no matter how hard i wish it.  the pine cabinets can't magically be stained a more tasteful colour.  however, walls can be painted white. and the floors can be styled with rugs.

i'm very fond of this scandinavian apartment i found on my scandinavian home. it's mostly white, my favourite for a clean and airy feel.  but the splashes of colour are so thoughtful and concise. not to mention, the blue doors (!) i'd kill for a pare of those.


simple white couch, the colour comes from cushions.
the french doors! blue, and beautiful. just the right amount of old.

fairly monochromatic bed colours.  natural greenery added by plants.

the string of lights on the mirror adds light to an otherwise dark area of the home.
plus, they add a great view of the last minute check of the days outfit.

a white dresser with darker accessories on top. 

the shelves heighten the space itself, while adding a visual display and great storage.  
they are also the main source of colour in the space.


can't wait to start sourcing new furniture and accessories for my new space.  now, only to find it.

house plants

lately i've been noticing the greenery slip away from the interiors of the homes i visit.  pins for bouquets of fake flowers, and diy flowers from fabrics and papers.  what ever happened to the living green indoors?

a working space

transitioning from house to house, and living in spaces belonging to others, has me wanting a more permanent space of my own.  i've been making mental notes, and visual lists, of how the spaces in my daydreams look.  high priority on my list is a working space.  somewhere i can draw doodles, paint cards, make jewelry, and write.  somewhere light and carefree.  somewhere that houses things of my own.
