I spend entirely too much time searching the internet for inspiring home interiors. Interiors have nothing to do with my day job, no my freelance jobs, but I’m always making time to keep looking (maybe it’s because I don’t spend my days living and breathing interiors as a “interior designer”  or “stylist” would. Whatever the reason, I love it…and I especially love to see a beautifully photographed home that isn’t stage/styled. It’s nice to see the untouched signs of everyday life ( unperfect stacks of books, scribbles on a wall,  or even a grumpy face).

This finland family home is the perfect combination of beautiful photography (by Riikka Kantinkoski) and a lived in concept (concepted by Mirja Karjula)

One of my favorite sources on interior inspiration is Milk Magazine. This home was recently featured and that you can live with kids and without the mass of primary colors that come along with them. Melanie Ireland, the designer for Simple Kids visited this home several times before making it her own. She fell in love with the homes well preserved old details such as the old mirrors, wooden floors, high ceilings and large windows. She is also planning to build her own mobile home. She visited the Home Nation to learn more about it.

I’m pretty sure my mother would just die to have this…my dad too…and me, really! I’m dreaming of warmer days with lots of greenery surrounding me. I can’t wait for the smell of fresh greens, citrus, flower buds, and even the smell of summer rain. Let’s just skip this winter stuff, and even the spring stuff, and hope right to the HOT & SUNNY summers that make me one happy camper.

Lucy and Stephen Marr own this beauty and I envy it with all my heart. Look at how it looks pieced together with salvaged window panes. So great.

I’ve been eyeing this interior space for some time now. I’ve decided that if I have have children I’m going to go bold and paint black floors. Decided….done & done.
This space is lived in by two little ones, ages 2 & 7. It’s minimal with all the right details; false suspended ceilings and sliding doors. All furniture pieces serve a purpose and the space was designed in a way that the space can either be open to the rest of the house or closed off for quite times.

Ahh. I just love it…and I’m not a big fan of pink or red 😉
