apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love the eclectic with the modern look of white-- it is both elegant and welcoming. I am inspired! Best, Nadine Bouler

that's a lot of green and purple going on...
kind of nice but i think looks a little staged/ forced/ or something...

any idea on where the table is from? it's just what we are looking for!

I like it! Maybe I am just partial to those blue-green colors.

(What's the deal with those chairs on the end?)

clampers - the chairs on the end are stokke high chairs so I'd say the owner has small children.

(PS: Sorry if you already knew that and were just commenting on those chairs being in the photo)

One of the few situations where I love the white walls and think it works 100%. Absolutely lovely, even for my color addicted self. I do agree that the photos appear a bit staged as it would appear that even all the clothing in this house adheres to the color scheme. Nothing wrong with that when it makes for good house porn!

AT: Thanks for the link love =)
Clampers: Norwegian company Stokke's "Tripp Trapp" chairs for kids! They're excellent, since they are adjustable as the kids grow. You can also use the chair as a tiny staircase if you need something on the top shelf ("Trapp" means "staircase" in Norwegian)!
(Stokke's stroller was actually used in the Sex & the City movie)

We registered for that highchair and I love the color you chose, what is it? I think we chose the darker finish but I want to change it to whatever you have. Thanks!

I just looked, we chose walnut, but on the website it looks darker than regular walnut. I think you may have cherry or natural? Thanks:)

Much better post than the version that was up before!

Tiffany: it's not my apartment - I just was the lucky person who blogged it first and got linked to by AT. Here's the link to the article in Boligmagasinet, where I found this beautiful Danish home:

But the article doesn't say anything about the colour of the Tripp Trapp chairs, I'm afraid. Maybe you should consult the website where you've ordered the chairs. If you include the link to the photo, they might be able to tell you which colour it is?

Tiffany -- the Stokke chairs look to be cherry to me.

WHERE can i get a mirror like that??? the orange one with the doors? does it have a name? I LOVE it.

That mirror is from India originally. It's likely raw rosewood under there, that's typically what they are carved from. They are rampant in India and very affordable, they have just painted it orange.
Do you have any East Indian furniture stores around you? I'd pop in with the pic and ask if they can get you one or direct you where to get one, ot try some stealthy online searches, it's definately East Indian.

I have the same mirror, and I have had it for about fifteen years. I bought it in the natural wood, but varnished. It does looks like rosewood to me. I loved it the minute I saw it. It took me about a month to put the money together for it, although it was not all that expensive. I bought it in a small, trendy gift shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I saw a few similar around NYC for a few years after that. Some painted their versions a shabby chic white and used them in bathrooms. I haven't seen the mirror around in the U.S. since then, and I did just check out an extensive East Indian furniture shop here in Austin. I think your best bet is online. Good luck!

I just bought one last November in Berkley, CA. There is a store there that carries a lot of those with the mirror (exact type, mine is in a bluish color). The store is called Zentrum.

They ship everywhere and have amazing import items. Oddly, sometimes I've seen them at Pier One and World Market!

I love all the colors... the photos are so amazing! So inspirational... now I want to paint my mirror bright colors!

Nice little explosions of colors against clean pure white.

Pablo Picasso prints will gell beautifully with this refreshing departure from black and white.
