I have for quite some time been looking for really handsome (4ever) egg cups – and I finally found them!
I am so happy that the Etsy store Bailey Doesn’t Bark is offering mini cups of its popular “Four Season” cup line.
I have been eying the larger cups - but am even happier with the minis! (They work well with large eggs).
The porcelain cups are hand decorated and the decals are fired. The mini cups are microwave and dishwasher safe. A set of 4 costs $59.
In this month’s online issue of the terrific Swedish design magazine Skona Hem, readers are asked to vote for their favorite home within 3 different categories. Pretty hard if you ask me – they are all lovely! Below are some om my favorite pics:
Classic style
Artsy modern style
Eclectic style
I love incorporating really old Swedish antiques with contemporary design pieces.
When visiting Sweden you will be hard pressed to find a home without at least one exquisite antique and a contemporary piece of artwork. That is how most Swedes like to decorate – by mixing several hundred year old pieces with modern elements. And it works with Swedish antiques since they are often much toned down in form, design, and color compared to some antiques from other parts of the world – without compromising the craftsmanship and quality.
Below are pieces from my own little collection.
How fun is this bedside companion! The “Readers’ Nest” is designed by WIS Design for the Swedish design team – David Design. It is part of the 2009 David Design Collection.
This practical book shelf stores your favorite books right next to your reading spot and by utilizing the roof top, there’s no need for “Dog Ears”. Very clever!
For questions regarding the Readers’ Nest (price, availability etc. ) contact David Design in Sweden.
I find this UK Etsy seller very talented. The store is called Red Ruby Rose and the owner’s handmade clutches are so different and fun. I fell in love with this white clutch with branches and a light blue silk lining. I can see myself using this at a lovely summer party, wearing white and hopefully a little bit of a sun tan! Check out the seller’s other clutches at: RedRubyRose
This particular clutch is called “Boughs and Branches” and sells for $75. It measures: top width 8″, bottom of clutch 9″, height 5″.
Below is another one that I like – “Fern and Fronds”. It costs $75 and measures: top width 8″, bottom of clutch 9″, height 5″.
