All In The Details!

I was just talking about how I want to decorate my bedroom first when I move over on haus maus since I've been pulling together interior inspiration in binders and in file folders on my desktop.... You know, all of the beginnings of any decor project! And I was thinking about all of the little details that really MAKE a room. It's so exciting to move and have all of these visions in my mind soon to be realized but it's funny, when I think of decorating I do consider foundation pieces (sofa, flooring, window treatments) important but above those, I consider the little details even more so. The sofa matters (it's the most important piece of furniture in the living room just as the bed is the key piece in the bedroom), but it's what I have around the sofa and on it (a soft throw, some pillows) that I delight in hunting and gathering as I begin a decorating project. I love the details, right down to the fine stitch work on a cushion or the beads carefully sewn around the edges of a curtain. It's all in the details, baby!

While searching for interiors inspiration I came across the home of Ingrid and Vidar from the Fjeldborg blog and fell in love with her space because she is detail-oriented too. I found Ingrid via Jeanette who runs the lovely Fryd+Design blog and well, I fell in love with the sugar sweetness of Ingrid's decor. I have a bit of a different direction in mind for my own space, but there are definitely parts of this home that inspire me. I hope it inspires you today, too.

About her home Ingrid says, "I like both the one and the other: white and shiny, rough and worn, black, pastel, retro, real wood floors, painted panel... I love flea market finds and painting projects, and at times I am good friends with the sewing machine."

Bonus: Like what you see? Jeanette photographed this home for her upcoming second issue of her e-mag so watch this page for that issue to appear around September 1st. I can't wait! I love Jeanette's online magazine soooo much.

I'm on deadline all week with the Decorate book so blog posts will be a bit more tortoise-like and less hare-like, but I'll be doing my best to get up a post or two each day between now and Friday. Bare with me! :)
