Jeni’s Design Diary

I am usually drawn towards warm, vibrant colors.  But right now I’m smitten with the cool white walls, with warm furnishings in Marie Olsson Nylander’s home.  You can view more images of her design on mixr.se (in English).

I stumbled upon Elena Kotliarker’s paintings on redbubble today.   I really like her color palettes.  Any of her works would add a nice pop of energy to a room.   Her originals are for sale on her ebay shop.  Here are my top 5 favorites:

I’d really like to see this concept done with actual crates instead of just laminate.
