for this month’s decorate! pilgrim post, i’m featuring my scandinavian folk print available here. when it comes to christmas i’m mostly a green and red girl, but i admit i get a bit envious when see icy blue and white christmas trees. this print evokes the crisp, and chilly scandinavian winters, but injects some warm folky warmth. but onto the rooms:

the original inspiration for my scandinavian folk print was my grandma rowie’s kitchen. she had a very groovy 70s red and blue mod folk styled kitchen. she had a blue gloss painted china cabinet, red gloss chairs and a kitschy folk patterned fabric table cloth. i loved spending time drawing at her table while my mum and rowie gossiped over coffee. the above space comes off quite ‘english countryside’ i thought.. wouldn’t you like to sit at that table and husk some fresh strawberries?

a lot of people comment on how they love my prints but feel, as adults, they can’t hang them in their rooms. to them i say, sure my style is bold and playful but doesn’t adulthood need more of that?! that said, this print would look charming in a fun and european inspired nursery don’t you think? primary colors, simple shapes and good old fashioned toys.

lastly, something a bit festive and frosty. i am so envious of those with white Christmases. the few i’ve had in england were magical and felt ‘right’. sophisticated large pieces of furniture provide a great base to add whimsy upon. you’re a grown up now: you can be trusted with white linen – but that doesn’t mean you can’t hang a stocking on your bed for santa! this room makes me think of gorgeous whitewashed cabin walls. crisp, yet cosy.

which room do you like best?
