The perfect home...

Den Vita Skolan is a great international blog I found. Hanna was kind enough to let me share her fabulous kitchen with you all. I noticed quite a few items from IKEA in her kitchen, don't you just love that store? You can put an entire kitchen together for half the price of a custom one!! Hanna seems to use very little color in this space, still managing to make it look super modern and amazing. I LOVE how her pup's bed fits right in! An open kitchen has always been a dream of mine along with exposed bricks, very reminiscent of a NYC loft. What do you think of this kitchen?? Visit her blog to see more of her home renovations.



* Thank you Hanna!

IKEA fialena

02/26/2008, 15:48 | Original Site: red.house

: : This is a new serie of patterns at IKEA, called .fialena. I adore the name, it's what my parents would always call my sister. she was .fialena., I was .pyret. and my brother .skrotten. Maybe not the most flattering name for my brother, but it was very cute when he was young.

Anywho, these patterns are very much in line with the current scandinavian folklore pattern trend that's happening. making me think my own patterns are very current and aligned with this trend?? IKEA why won't you call?


I found this while I was browsing the .style files. blog.

Furniture: Toddler’s Dining Chair

From Sarah:

Piet Hein Eek a bit too high-concept? Ikea offers the simple Agam Highchair for $34.99; available in birch veneer or black.

Art to the Rescue

I was recently preparing my house for a friend’s baby shower when I noticed the non-curtained French doors in the den provided a great view for guests to my not-so-neat bedroom.

It’s the kind of thing you don’t think of until the door bell is about to ring.

My quick fix: I took a few of my son Sammy’s paintings from our massive collection and taped them neatly with white artist’s tape to the back of the doors.

It was meant to be a temporary solution, but my husband and I love it. (We know we are biased.) I might even laminate the art so I can hang the masterpieces neatly with some tiny eyelets on cup hooks.

Since there is a lot of Sammy art where that came from, we often have “art shows” at our house. (His teacher told me that he “uses up more paper than anyone in the class.”) I was proud, even though I’m not sure it was meant as a compliment.

Our shows are installed in hallways, on doors, and strung on clotheslines under the mantle. One “piece” that is on permanent display over our mantle is a series of his first people drawings collaged and hung in one of Ikea’s “NYTTJA” frames.

They come in lots of colors and sizes. The one above is the large (19 ¾” x 27 ½”) orange one and it’s only $7.99! (One downside with the frame is the plexiglass starts to bow and sag after a while. I plan to replace it with glass.)

Collaging a bunch of your child’s artwork is a great way to capture a series and create a larger piece of art.

Now that my younger son, Lionel, is starting to draw himself, we may have to move to a place with more walls!

Birthday Room Redo

00/00/0000, 00:00 | Original Site: katiedid
When we moved to our new/old house, my oldest daughter called dibs on the best bedroom for herself. It has French doors leading to a sunroom with great windows, and is quite charming. In fact, it was one of the selling points for the house. My younger daughter waited very patiently while we decorated her sister's room first. So, I have been secretly planning to redo my younger daughter's bedroom for her birthday. I have yet to figure out a way to get her out of the house for a weekend while we repaint and install all of the new furniture and draperies. I have already received some of the furniture, but need to order some things ASAP to get them here in time. I thought I'd share a quick sketch of the plan:

I just picked up this bed from IKEA and need to paint it white. You may have seen it recently in Domino:


We already have this bedding from Pottery Barn, shams and Duvet Cover. So the walls will be painted a coral-y pink:


I received these nightstands from Bungalow 5 the other day. Storage is always an issue for my little fashionista:

I need to get these Pagoda lamps ordered right away from Worlds Away. I am going to add some grosgrain ribbon to the shades top and bottom to add a little color like these shades from PB Teen:



I have these drapery panels from Pottery Barn, and just need to pick up some wood rods from Home Depot to paint an espresso brown. This is the most economical way to get a substantial looking rod. (I have a thing about telescoping rods. I can't help it but they really bother me.):


We already had this area rug from West Elm in her room which she picked out quite awhile ago (in the dark brown):


A quick sketch of the dresser wall:


I am thinking about this dresser from Pottery Barn mostly because of the size. It is a good size and not too big for the space. And I like the detail at the bottom of the piece:

I am planning on painting it a warm black and changing out the hardware to something a bit more interesting like this from My Knobs:


I am thinking about this mirror from Horchow, a very good price at $189 I think:

And then add these resin branch sconces from Oly Studio on either side of the mirror with perhaps shells on them. (Somehow I think I may be overruled along the way with a couple of Hello Kitty items):


And there has got to be flamingos. Photos or vintage prints. Somehow flamingos are going to be in the room. I think a couple of pieces to the right of the bed to balance the window on the left. I may frame some photos I have taken. But if anyone has any other ideas, I would love to hear from you!

I am dealing with a pretty tight budget and a short time frame. I am hoping I have time to get things repainted. I might take a quick look at some shops for a more unique dresser and some other one-of-a-kind things to make it more personal. But I promise to show you the results. We'll see how close I get to the sketches!
