If I hear or see “Copenhagen,” I know I’ll probably like what I’m going to see. And that’s just the case with the studio of Jill and Caroline. They have created an industrial space balanced to be a bit feminine and whimsical by keeping walls white and furnishings sparse and small. What do you think?

A pretty spot.

I think these photos speak for themselves…
I love the color on the walls, but I don’t know if I’d ever have the guts to use it on a wall…maybe I’d test it out in a bathroom or hall…have you used a color this bold?
…soooo pretty
What do you think of these?

I love autumn! The fresh smell of the air and chunky knit sweaters. It means airing out the quilts from storage and putting away the grill. The days are shorter and less daylight means more time indoors. So don’t neglect your home and start planning how you’ll transition your house this fall. One easy and relatively inexpensive way is to change out bedding and/or curtains. Hopefully these bedrooms will inspire you…

As my regular readers probably know, I’m a big fan of Swedish interiors. That’s why I was super excited by the opportunity to review the new book, “Classic Swedish Interiors,” by Lars Sjoberg. The poetic photos are by Ingalill Snitt.
I’m going to quote Amazon as they describe the book better than me –
“Lars Sjöberg has made it his life’s work to understand and preserve the Swedish manor houses of the 17th and 18th centuries. Here, exquisitely photographed by Ingalill Snitt, are the eight houses (and one church) that he has acquired over more than 40 years. The book focuses on Sjöberg’s first, most complex project: the manor of Regnaholm. Unoccupied for about 40 years when Sjöberg arrived in 1966, it allowed him to experiment with interior decoration and refurnishing, copying old furniture, reweaving, and reprinting old fabric patterns.
His other projects include Ekensberg, a three-story Italianate villa near Lake Mälaren, built in 1788-90, and Salaholm in Västergötland with a garden laid out in the first half of the 17th century. Odenslunda, a small manor from the 1770s with a panelled exterior and a säteritak or manor-house roof, is his family home, while Sörby, a scaled-down early 17th-century manor house, was reproduced in its entirety for an exhibition in Stockholm. Full of insight and inspiration, this is a deeply personal summary of everything Lars Sjöberg has learned in his years of working and living with classic Swedish interiors.” – via Amazon.com

Hi guys. So I thought we might do a little Homeowners 101 post and get back to basics. So the great folks that are sponsoring this post have put together an article on the proper way to install a towel bar. Also find some yummy bathroom eye candy below.
Before installing a towel bar you should do a little pre-planning. Here
are some of the important points that you need to keep in mind-
• the towel bar should be placed in such a way, that all the family
members including the children could readily access it.
• make sure the towel bar is placed somewhere the towels won’t get wet
• keep in mind that if you install it behind the bathroom door, the bar might become damaged or, damage the door and the adjoining walls since repetitive opening and closing
The standard height at which the bar should be places is 48 inches or about 4 feet off the ground. This height is recommended especially when you have smaller children. Any higher and they won’t be able to reach the towel bar on their own. Any lower and the towel bar can get in the way
of mobility.
Read the instructions for the installation of the towel bar to install. Use a measuring tape and mark with a pencil the four points or the two points where the fasteners or the screws for the towel bar will be.
After that, hold the hand drill straight and make small holes for the screws. Now install the screws and the fasteners, securing them well.

I really like “regular” furniture in the bathroom – like the sideboard you see on the left.

Jane, a Decorology reader, wrote me asking for inspiration for a 9×9 room she wants to turn into a “fit for a star dressing room.” So I’ve done my best to compile some super glamorous dressing rooms. I’ve also found a few “glam dressing room” essentials and where to find them. Even if you don’t have a dressing room, I hope you enjoy this eye candy!
One of my favorite dressing rooms – the dressing room of JCrew Jenna Lyons as seen in Domino.

Another one I like -I guess I really like the windows with natural light, which is good for makeup.

I think the mornings would be easier to face with a beautiful wall of beautiful shoes.

A dressing room is a great place to try out that bold wallpaper or paint color you’ve been eyeing as it’s a more private, smaller space.

A super eclectic dressing room.

Here are some items I would use to create a starlet dressing room.

A textile artist tipped me off to this site, which I’m really glad to now have in my bookmarks. The shop is called Envelop and textile designers can upload their designs to provided templates for totes, pillows, aprons, oven gloves, and other cotton products. I’m thinking maybe I could even upload some of my patterns from my days as an illustrator! Anyway, I’ve already found a pillow I’ll be getting for someone in my family – and I’m sure you could find something unique for yourself or an artsy friend.
Here’s just a small sample of the things I like –
The two above are from Portuguese artist Ana Romero. Love the bright colors on that pillow!
See more of Ana’s products here (takes you to her page on the Envelop site)
I love this intricate pen work from Valentino Ramos – what you’re looking at above are place mats and a table runner.
I’m really impressed by the illustrations of Tamara Weiss – the design on this tote was originally for a tattoo!
I like the drawings- especially one on the pillow above, from artist Clinton Jacobs.
Pretty feather pattern – see Alice Rebecca Potter’s shop.
A lovely bird pattern from Thereza Rowe
I thought I’d pick up where I left off and continue with installments of “Favorite Images from my Favorite Blogs.” I started this feature because I realized that as a blogger, I rarely had the time to peruse the blogs that inspired me to start blogging, or that I’d discovered while blogging. I hope you enjoy and that it ads a little brightness to your holiday weekend!…
(blogs featured in no particular order)
To begin, images from Pink Wallpaper
…no words…
again, no words…
I really like this chair – which I think is from Anthropologie…but I just don’t know if I’d have the discipline to keep everything else in the room complementary
Next, a newly discovered blog for me- Loftlife Magazine

Have you ever tried arranging your books by color like on this shelf?

All these images are so serene…
Hope you enjoyed these and have a great holiday weekend!
