Displaying posts labeled "Minimalist"

This is one of the most inspiring posts I have shared in a while, IMHO. A huge thanks to Silje for tipping us of to this in an email recently: This is the Tumblr of a friend of a friend. They’re a newly married couple in their 20s, and got an apt. in the old part of Oslo, Norway, this summer. They’re both incredibly talented and hard-working, and they have just renovated their tiny apartment ALL by themselves. Their style is typically Norwegian, using “honest” materials (as well cal it), thrifted stuff, secondhand furniture and a mixing it to a delightfully minimalist style. Well worth a wee looksy, especially the before and after pictures of the livingroom/kitchen! The blog is named “down in Løkka“, Løkka being a nickname for Grünerløkka, a hipster/old part of Oslo. I am completely in awe of all of the work they have done on their tiny pad. And it is beautiful, and perfectly minimal. I am so impressed.

I’m dreaming of a weekend in the snow. I’m sure winterphobe Kim will scoff at my hankering for the white stuff but snow is so much better when you’re looking at it from the picture window of a renovated barn perched in a picturesque village high in the Swiss Alps.

Axel Vervoordt. If you do not know this name, you will remember it once you get to the end of this post. Axel Vervoordt of Antwerp, Belgium started out as an antiques dealer and has become one of the most influential interior designers of our time. His spaces are poetic, artistic and mesmerizing. It is almost more what is not there that what is. These first two rooms have captured me and made my heart skip a beat.

Fabulous kitchen by Michaelis Boyd. You almost wouldn’t want to leave this simple yet stylish space. Until you realise what’s outside.
