Ingrid's Less Is More

042209wood-02.jpgIngrid uses her polished home to display her crocheted wool blankets and wares. Because her home is well edited, we focus on what's important--simple pieces that speak volumes. We found Ingrid's company, Wood & Wood Stool through her Flickr site and wanted to share our favorite vignettes--after the jump.

Crocheted colorful squares strung along against a purple wall.

042209wood-01.jpgWhat looks to us like an antique ice chest in its rustic form with a bright colored blanket draped on a chair.

042209wood-03.jpgWe've always been a big fan of clothes as display. In this instance, Ingrid picks her new favorite dress to enjoy.

042209wood-05.jpgIn all of Ingrid's vignettes, she pairs her wool handicrafts against antique wood pieces--a comfortable, classic combo.

Ingrid, your home looks so cozy and simplistic. I love your mint green walls. A creative take on the garland. It's kind of like Anthropology meets Amish. Where did you get that pretty round off-white cushion? I love it!

I love the granny squares as prayer flags! Also, I saw those flowers at the store yesterday and I was in a hurry so I didn't get to see what they were called, but I love them! Can anyone help me out with the name? I know it starts with R...
