Inspiration: Gnufäll
Love that fantastic, fluffy couch above, as seen in Skona Hem. According to Google Translate, that is a genuine "gnufäll" on the floor there. Yeah. : )

Inspiration: The Maysles on The Selby
...and there's another fantastic post on The Selby featuring the Maysles in their fabulous surroundings. Lots of color mixed with tons of vintage treasures... (Al Maysles is probably best known for filming the cult classic Grey Gardens.) I'm off to start contructing a reading nook like this.

The Masters: Frits Henningsen
Be still, my beating heart. Another god of design has appeared in my starry skies.
Frits Henningsen (Denmark, 189?-1965). Can you believe the designs below are from the 1920s and 30s?
