The Warburg House by Bioi

This house caught me as a housey-house with it's familiar house shape. Super simple but has this intriguing character to it, I just want to know more! And you know it's more than meets the eye and certainly has a cool story to it.

Designed by the Candadian firm Bioi, the Warburg House, located on a farm space in Canada, had a goal to create a contemporary yet simple and energy efficient design for less than $100,000. While the home is not huge, that is a mighty goal!

I love the juxtaposition of the new home and the old shed, connected by the deck. It's a genuine addition to a new space, so lovely. And the dark exterior with the vertical exterior wood is amazing.

30 Days of Food, Day 1: Brie & Bacon Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam

November is a month to celebrate thankfulness and beautiful, inspiring food. For the love of it I thought it would be fun to share with you a simple, intriguing and seasonal recipe every day this month!

To start things off? Brie & Bacon Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam? Oh man. You know it. I don't have words other than: yum, looks like the perfect lunch! I can only imagine the fig jam is the perfect accompaniment to to the bacon & brie.

Cozy Swedish Kitchen

Can't you imagine yourself in this cozy kitchen baking pie and chatting with your Mom? It's so inviting and warm. Perfect for this time of year as winter awaits us.  

And a bit farm-ish? I like that, though. The whiteness and open shelves. The warm wide-planked wood floors.  And I love how Miriam changes the rug in her kitchen often (more on that, here!). Motherly, in a good way.

DIY Tube Lamp

So clever! Annaleenas hem has come up with an amazing Tube Lamp DIY. Did you ever consider making a lamp out of a poster tube?

I had not, but now i'm eager to make one, you?! Plus the black of the tube and cord is perfectly graphic and fresh.

For more info go to Annaleenas hem.

 

Hanna's Room

This is what your space would look like if you sold everything and got rid of all the junk. And if you had excellent light and great sensibility. Plus, that marble table top is just fantastic.

Perfect combination. So lovely. And of course, such great light!

Autumn-ness

Serious Autumn-ness going on, friends! The giant maple trees outside of my house are turning bright yellow and look like enormous pom-poms! I love it and a sure sign of Autumn. Last week we visited the pumpkin patch with the kids and seasonal squash, local apples and even a few persimmons are finding there way in our weekly CSA box.

Today I am inspired by... Autum-ness. So cozy. This is what I am thinking:
candles | autumn apple cider champagne sangria | pears | boozy pie bites

Grand & Petit Trianon

I'm totally loving the beautiful Trianon pendants . It reminds me of a doily but in a modern & clever sort of way. I also think the volume of space they take up is fantastic.

And I can just image the pattern of light that the Trianon lights cast. Available in 2 sizes: Grand and Petit. [and that fun light in the middle of the bottom image? That's the  Bright Side]

A Summerhouse... in the winter?

This is a Summerhouse? I just don't think I'd be able to stay away from this amazing little spot! I of course love the openness & light... but  the open kitchen and the woodstove out in the open is fantastic.

The floor is also intriguing. It looks like concrete, but is actually tiles. Tiles of what, I am not sure.  And the open doors & window spaces? We don't even have to talk about that! So great.

oh yes: Call Me Cupcake

I love cake. Last week when the kids requested cake for dinner I actually made one from scratch! For dinner! I know.

I've talked about Call Me Cupcake before ... and just had to circle back around. Her cakes look fantastic. I would eat every one of them. Wouldn't you?

Images & recipes: Tiramisu Cake, Chocolate and Guinness Cake.

Call Me Cupcake also has a book! Can't wait until it's available in English.
