Pretty greens and blues in a Copenhagen home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This lovely 1920's Copenhagen home in a former sculptur's atelier is decorated in the prettiest of pretty greens, turquoise and blues. It's one of those homes which never goes on the market - owner <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JosefineBentzen" target="_blank">Josefine Bentzen</a>, an award winning industrial designer, who lives here with husband Steen Piil inherited it from her parents. The couple have decorated the space with the perfect blend of romantic country, mid-century and scandinavian modern to create a truly unique and personal home. What a treasure?!  <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCzuvFU7HwfLAwV9vT33DQYqkgC9huEdqnouftbKaFFo8cP1QkfU8jL6z_RaYN4CTp_dIhojaEebr__zzpzdVPJAbhEm7zXkPNoh4jr7sjd75KK3qfzBrZNrEiDqccVJnCsePMlZiuCs/s1600/cop1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The windows are also likely to be north facing to ensure reflected or indirect light which helps the artist have greater control over values, contrasts and subtle colour changes within a painting or sculpture (if you live in the southern hemisphere these would face south).<br /><br />Artist or no artist, wouldn't it be fab to have windows like these in your home?!<br /><br />Other items I know and love: source a vintage Cobra phone on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/" target="_blank">ebay</a>, try <a href="http://www.lauritz.com/en/" target="_blank">Lauritz </a>for a RAR rocking chair, or <a href="http://www.designcollectors.com/EN/product/1047/vitra-eames-plastic-armchair-rar/" target="_blank">Design Collectors</a> for a modern version.

Previous spaces I've shown include a former <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/05/a-beautiful-converted-carpenters.html" target="_blank">carpenter's workshop</a>, an <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/02/parisian-artists-home-in-former-button.html" target="_blank">artist's home</a> in a converted button factory and a <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/01/a-lovely-family-home-in-former.html" target="_blank">family home</a> in a former kindergarten. So wonderful, don't you think?!<br /><br />Does your home have an interesting past?<br /><br />Have a lovely day! </div>

A beautiful Gothenburg home with a hint of English style

The house gardener

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm a big fan of indoor plants, not only  do they look beautiful but word has it they also help to purify air and relieve stress. Forget standard pots though. Indoor plants have had something of a make-over of late and terracotta planters have been replaced by terrarium pyramids, eclectic glass vessels and DIY plant hangers. I was so excited to discover the new book '<a href="http://www.rylandpeters.com/ourshop/home-and-garden/the-house-gardener" target="_blank">The House Gardener</a>' by Isabelle Palmer which is packed with indoor gardening tips such as how to create your own terrarium, table centre or even a fairy-tale garden for children.
