Scandinavian Chic: Your Patio is Craving Pastels!

Your Patio is Craving Pastels!

I'm SO over winter, and the latest Lonny was such a refreshing break! I definitely appreciated all the candy colored furniture and fun spreads. Summer just felt a little bit closer, even if just for a short while.

This mint green mini peacock chair paired with a Svenskt Tenn inspired pillow and the black bamboo table is perfect eclecticism in my opinion. It's super inviting, and I definitely want to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea and some chick lit... (or a classic for that sake)

If you want to go for a grander statement, go for finn, blocket or craigslist, and get yourself an original peacock and paint it:

Yes, I said paint it! It's all about colors this summer, and the peacock deserves to be updated to 2011 standard :) (although this one already is a beauty, I'm loving it as is!)

Here, it's all about the accessories. If you don't think you can stomach pastel furniture, then add some fun details like the coral pillows and the green elephant side table.

My wet dream is the Thonet rocking chair. It makes such a statement, and the Art Nouveau inspired shape is just so incredibly organic and feminine. It's almost like a sculpture.

If you EVER find a Thonet in or close to Norway, let me know! :)

What are your plans for the patio this summer??
