HANDMADE LIVING
A Fresh Take On Scandinavian Style
By Lotta Jansdotter
I just recently have been reading this book, It's a guide on style and design life style by a Scandinavian woman named Lotta Jansdotter living in Brooklyn, NYC. Today I picked a small section out of the book I really enjoy. Its one of the sections on decorating the home or studio, it really applies to any space though.
As a designer, she appeals to me because she really puts a focus on simplicity. This section of the book is focused on decorating with plant and flower life. She uses simple clear clean cut looking vases, bowls, cups, etc. to adorn with unique looking flowers that really awaken a space.
Overall I think that she has some cute examples of simple plant life to decorate your home with. My personal advice on these kinds of DIY decorations, are going to thrift stores and picking up little tea cups or clear glass cups and unique looking bowls. Also even if your looking for something easy to get your hands on if you don't have time to go look thru secondhand stores, marshals and target also usually have cute mason jars and cookie jars that could be used for the same project.
Here are some examples from my home
