A farm in Denmark and a small apartment in Barcelona
I am up to my eyeballs in paint as I work on transforming my living room, and I would just like to say thank you to all those who told me to lose the mahogany trim. While I am still not sure about my entry way (where the majority of the wood work is) I am really happy to see the mahogany gone in the living room. I still have alot of work to do but photos to come ASAP. During a short break yesterday while working on the trim, I came across these 2 residences that I fell in love with. The first is a beautiful old farm in Denmark that has been totally renovated and filled with flea market finds. It has a really lovely neutral colour palette. (Via Femina) The other is a small apartment in Barcelona that used to be a series of dark, cramped rooms. Sergi Pons Architects created an open floor plan and inserted a white cube in the centre to house the kitchen and bathroom. Such stunning original stone walls and ceramic tile ceiling, and the result is a successful marriage of modern and rustic. (Via Living)
Light and dark in Copenhagen
This beautiful home was recently featured in Nuevo Estilo, a perfect blend of light and dark (although I personally would add a bit more dark). Built in 1898 and located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, it is home to Sofie and Frank Christensen Egelund and their 4 children. (You will notice several Vipp pedal bins around - Sofie currently runs the company that her grandfather created). I love the shocking contrast of the dark kitchen - what a gorgeous colour.
Working on a Saturday
I have two huge days at work ahead of me. A wedding, a breakfast, a birthday high tea with a complete reset for each. It's times like these I wish I worked in an office again instead of catering and events planning. Cue the daydream music ... perhaps an office like this one by Danish design firm Søren Rose Studio.
Frederikke Aagaard
Designer, tv-host, author, lecturer and curator. Many hats, one great talent. Love this redesign of hotel and conference centre Rungstedgaard by Frederikke Aagaard. Old meets new, fresh and fun.
