Tortoise shells – Faux is the way to go!

Long before I even thought about going into the design business I paid close attention to details. I remember a trip to the Phillipines when I was 9 years old and visiting friends of the family at their house. I don´t recall much about the decor of the house except a set of stacking end tables next to the sofa and a large beautiful tortoise shell on the wall. Come to think of it.. it was probably there it all started…. my love for anything tortoise ; Boxes, furniture, sunglasses, jewelry, you name it. Ironically.. one day when my friend and I were playing outside we found a little turtle in her mailbox. We named him Michael Jackson.

Here´s some great tortoise inspiration… but have no fear.. it´s all fake (even all the ones on the wall designed by KWID), because who would want to kill those little creatures.

Beautiful table setting ideas for a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. Even though I am not American by blood, I grew up there and have, from the first year we arrived, always celebrated Thanksgiving with our many American friends. For me it always started with waking up to the amazing smell of my mother cooking in the kitchen, and the noises and sounds from the TV showing the Macy´s Parade from New York. I have such wonderful memories from all these years whether it was in Naples where I grew up as a teenager, or with various friends while in college in New England and finally to many great years in New York. Today I am thinking of my family who is all gathered in Naples and spending the day together with dear friends. I wish I was there with them!

As I am dreaming about turkey dinner and mom´s amazing stuffing.. Here´s some beautiful table settings to give you some inspiration for making tonights dinner extra special.

Don´t forget to say your thanks and let your loved ones know what you are the most thankful for. Today I am thanking all my friends who have always been there for me and given me such support… especially when I have needed it the most the past few months.

Steal or splurge!!! The candle question…

Buying a scented candle these days is almost as expensive as buying a luxury perfume. So why should you go for the more expensive version when you can get a cheap one for half the price?

Just in… Glass domes





I just got these beautiful glass domes delivered today. I love this kind of thing… just not sure what I´m going to put inside. At the moment I placed a potted hyacinth in the large one which looks really pretty. I think I may have to get some pretty shells and fill the smaller one… or some cookies. Yum!

Here are some other ideas…

Small dome 595 kr.

Love this!!


I was just surfing around for light fixtures and found this cool ceiling light.

It´s so much more modern than I would normally be drawn to but it´s so great. I think I could mix this in with some more classic pieces.
