Tuesday DIY: a fab walk-in wardrobe on a shoe-string

In the first chapter of The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin talks about how de-cluttering and organising your home is the first step to feeling happier. I have to say, I admire people who make organising spaces look so effortless. One girl who knows her stuff is the talented interior designer Nina Holst from the Norwegian blog Stylizimo. She created this fab DIY walk-in-wardrobe on a shoe-string budget.

I spy two MALM chest of drawers, the STOLMEN used as a clothing rack, BYGEL which nina spray painted herself in gold, and two LEDSJÖ lamps all from IKEA.

To read more about how Nina created this space you can check out the original post here.

I would love to organise my jewellery and sunglasses in the same way in my dressing room. Thanks so much for the idea Nina! For more cool wardrobe inspiration you can always check here.

And if you're up for other DIY ideas this week you might want to check out this simple dotted wall, a cloud shaped door mat or a wall clock using a leather belt. So simple yet so cool. 

We are traveling South (in Thailand) tomorrow so I am handing the reigns to Dagny of Icelandic blog Feel Inspired for the day. Have a lovely day and I'll be back Thursday!

A fab home tour with a twist

Happy Monday! This year I've shown at least three homes for sale through Fantastic Frank. Honestly, looking through their website is like flipping through an interior magazine! So you can imagine how excited I was to find Fantastic Frank have collaborated with Swedish label MES DAMES to shoot home. With roots in France and now based in Stockholm, MES DAMES was founded by designer Lisa Wikander and creates beautifully tailored and cool clothes with a twist for women. Love the home and am so excited about the whole idea...so inspiring!

A round bed? Why not?!

See more images of the home and collection here, or for a complete write up check out the FF blog. 

Other exciting Fantastic Frank inspiration include this, this and this post. 

Or if you'd like to take a peek inside the homes of other fashion designers check out this or this home. So wonderful!

This home has totally got me thinking about who I'd team my home with. Perhaps Danish fashion brand Sofie Schnoor? Or my other staple favourite clothing company Day? Who would you team your home with?

Have a lovely day!

A fresh, bright and beautiful Dutch cottage

I do love a weekend escape. This white country cottage belonging to interior designer and co-owner of NU interieur /ontwerp Nathalie Fransen, architect Bas Van Egmond and their three children in the Netherlands hits the mark! The Dutch cottage has been renovated into a beautiful, fresh, light space using among other things, a lick of white paint, a new kitchen and bathroom. For a relatively small space of 34 metres square this family weekend retreat gives an illusion of space. Take me there!

I love this cottage, it has everything I could dream of in a holiday cottage, how about you?

You can see more pictures and read more about this Dutch space here.
