Inspiration from Garbo, Sweden

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that Monday finds you ready for a week of work, adventures, fun, rest, and anything else that will add interest and happiness to your life.

When I have a busy week ahead, I browse through Garbo Interiors website from Sweden. It reminds me that simplicity tends to be (at least in my world) a synonym for comfort and personality. These spaces help me grasp the concept that less is definitely more. Each piece of furniture seems to say "the person who owns me has a beautiful, carefree style that just happens without even trying". What do they say to you?

My mom used to have a garden full of these. 

In Spanish they are called "Corona de Novia" which 

basically means "Bridal crown". 

Their fragrance? Amazing!

This built-in!....yes...I want it...

What a beautiful chair.
I tend to be quite contemporary in my style choices, 

but one unique piece like this one in
the midst of modern

would be the perfect addition to my bedroom:

I can't get over the tranquility I feel when I look at this photograph. 

Is it the flowers? The beautiful window? 

The serene shade of white paint? A combination of all these?

Very simple color palette: white and red with just a touch of green. 

Not my cup of tea, but so fresh, clean, organized, calm.
Of course, my home would not be as organized.
Let's face it. There would be shoes on the beautiful wood floor,
a few books here and there, and the blanket (certainly)
would be on the floor as well.
Life just happens in my home.
I wonder...does anyone really live in a home as organized 

as those shown in decor magazines?

I will look at this site over and over this week and dream that sometime during the weekend, I will add my own personality to my home: just what I like, my own color palette. My home won't ever be as organized, or as clean or perfect, and then again, I don't think I want it to be. I want my family to enjoy it, make it their own. Of course, I have certain rules to keep it as organized as possible. But all I really want is that my home becomes a reflection of who we are, what we like, and what are lives are all about.
Happy Monday, chicas!
