Nordic Style

Seeing all those Swedish pieces yesterday from Beach Dwelling, got me in the mood for more. Another great online store for Swedish furniture is Nordic Style:

I love those clocks! Nordic Style's style is much more traditional/ Swedish Country, so to get the rooms really working for me, I'd have to supplement them with some more modern pieces, like this nickel plated console table from Martha Stewart's line:

I love the feeling of this bedroom, but it could use some modern elements.

The coordinating nickel plated side tables would work beautifully here:
How pretty & springtime does this dining room feel?:
To give it a little more oomph you could maybe switch out the dining chairs with these from Martha Stewart:



This painted Rococo Chair would look gorgeous paired up with either the mirrored side table or the mahogany pedestal table (below, both from Martha Stewart):



Love this table & chairs:
I have kitchen chairs very similar to these -I scored a set of 6 with 3 matching barstools at a consignment shop for around $350!- Pic of my old townhouse:
I'd also love the chairs paired with this table (Martha Stewart) in a raw finish instead of the mahogany: Look at this pretty little corner office: You could make it a little more fun by adding in a more modern chair, but I really do love it as it is.



Again, I think this living room is beautiful, but I would want to add some more modern elements. I'd probably switch out the painted-on rug with a real one for warmth & because I have a little one crawling around.

How about adding in Martha Stewart's Lavastone cocktail table? (WOW)


Or this modern wing chair from Oly Studio:
And this bench from Oly:
Maybe add in or exhange this sofa (from martha stewart) for the current one. (I do love the existing one, but the room needs a little warming up... I could also deal with this in a neighboring room. I think its lines work really well with the Swedish pieces.)
Ok, and since we've created this neighboring room, this chair from Oly Studio would be gorgeous in there! ;)Add in this tone on tone damask from Calico Corners:
And why not throw in this amazing ottoman?!:
And this would be perfect: And this sofa from Marth Stewart would work really well in any Swedish-styled home: I think I could go on & on. It's really a lot of fun to play with these budgetless rooms! :) But check out Nordic Style & play around!
