A former Fisherman's cottage in Copenhagen

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Sometimes I come across a space which jolts me into a new way of thinking for my own house. This family home of Peter Östergaard and Åsa Olofsson and their children just North of Copenhagen is one of those. A former fisherman's cottage, it's been transformed into a beautiful, modern and light filled space with the help of <a href="http://www.normcph.com/" target="_blank">Norm Archtitects</a>. And it also harbours surprises. Take the break-away red <a href="http://www.artemide.com/home/index.action" target="_blank">Artemide</a> lamp on the sitting room wall, the wooden shelf adding warmth to the kitchen and the fun, slightly messy children's room which oozes charm. I'm taking these ideas with me for my shoot on Friday, maybe I'll even jump on the bed....!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUg3zxc_wwd232wcP_CGfK_yU15KNx3oXaHz7E3lfiEM1L4HJK19r9pv6DimedQInsPH9i05HG5x_iAc6oQzFG296h8428pX6yrRbhyndSnKp_4kS7jLB0ERxri308MkrRE45cjFLf72g/s1600/vedbaek1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The serene white and wood home of an architect

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello Monday! I hope you had a great weekend?! Sometimes it's so great to realise that the most beautiful interiors are often also the most simple (and small!).  The Barcelona home of architect and graphic designer <a href="http://www.labuhardi.com/" target="_blank">Marina Senabre Roca</a>, is the perfect example of this and such great inspiration for compact living.
