EMMAS DESIGNBLOGG

Design and style from a Scandinavian perspective

April and May, a Dutch Deco blog

Through Victoria over at sfgirlbybay, I found a new (to me) blog which really appealed to me, called April and May. It is written by Jantine who works as an interior stylist, and she posts both her own and other peoples pictures in a great and stylish mix. Below are some photos from her own home, which is both serene and simple but at the same time warm and welcoming. She has lots of Ikea furniture (like the black table with spindle legs, her desk and the white floor lamp) but mixes them with big statement pieces for a personal look.
The site for April and May, Jantine's own styling business, will soon be up, and I can't wait to see more of her work!

    Yes, the desk is from Ikea, or at least very similar to the ones they have. You buy the parts separately, so you could get another tabletop if you'd like to.

    How about that couch! That's really nice. It isn't from IKEA though, right?

    I love the slatted shelving system in the baby's room; any idea where it's from?

    Emma, thank you so much for also blogging about my home. I am a big fan of your blog and feel honoured that you like my home and styling work. Thank you all for the lovely comments. I have a big smile on my face. The slatted shelving system is inspired by a bedboard from Ikea and made by my dad :)

    Does anybody know the source of big black floor lamp? I fell in love with it.

    Friends of ours wanted a neat "bow-lamp" or how you would describe the big lamp on the first 2 pictures. I guess, I should tell them to come here and take a look, themselves. Maybe it´s just the thing they wanted.
