Now, this wallpaper by the fabulous Swedish graphic designer, Beata Boucht, is right up our alley:


The wallpaper is from Photowall, and is custom order only. You can decide on the size of the pattern yourself (from very small to very large scale).

It's definitely a chic alternative to the ever popular floral patterns. And you definitely can't go wrong with pineapples!

Pantone named Honeysuckle Pink color of the year 2011. And I agreed. But I'm taking it upon myself to add an accent color as well.

I started my new job a few weeks ago, and it's an understatement to say it's been hectic. Work is work, and I love it when it's hectic, but the real challenge is combining work+family. My biggest challenge has proven to be making good and healthy dinners. The solution is dinner plans, and this week is the first one in ages where I know what to cook every day (and I purchased all the groceries on Saturday).  Lots of incredibly exciting things going on, today, we started working on the second issue of our magazine (the first one isn't out yet).

I'm trying to make our office space a little bit more inspirational (they're temporary, until we move into new premises next fall), and the easiest way to do so, is make an inspiration board. I've already started working on it, and I have to admit, it's going to be HUGE!

Scandinavian Chic co blogger and stylist, Rikke is currently in Vietnam, having the time of her life. Before she left, she and her man did a pretty exciting shoot for us in Tønsberg, Norway. Leo (Rikke's BF is a talented, up and coming Norwegian photographer). This home is a very good example of traditional and classic Scandinavian style with a little twist here and there :)

Pantone just named Honeysuckle pink as the color of the year 2011!

 

I used to literally hate pink, but lately I’ve been warming up to it. I recently painted my credenza hot pink, and I’m totally loving it! It gives you so many styling options, and there’s a huge opportunity to have lots of fun with the decor.

Pink can also be pretty neutral, as you can see here in this set of fine bone china from Finnish Elinno. You have no idea how GOOD your food looks on these plates!

 

 

If you’re not ready to commit to a pink piece of furniture, but is infatuated by the color, why not start with some fresh flowers like below?

 

 

 

Will you be getting any pink for your home in 2011?

 

xoxo
