How many times have you seen a home & felt instantly inspired?? Well, this happens to me quite often. It doesn't help that I frequent book stores, design blogs & always read design magazines like Elle Decor, Loft Life, Living Etc. Inspirational Spaces, a blog by Elisabeth Hudson (out of Olso, Norway), did just that for me. Instantly inspired! I found her blog before I did my office makeover & the bookshelf in her home (which she recently put on the market & sold) was the reason why I designed the bookshelf in my office.
Have you ever been instantly inspired where you wanted to re-create something you saw??

Elisabeth Hudson shot all these amazing photos of her home before she sold it. There's a lot of white, but I hear that's typical in several foreign countries no? Anyway, I love this home in so many ways. Her furniture alone, captivates me....and I hope it inspires you as well. Thank you Elisabeth for sharing the place you once called home, with all of us.
Elisabeth shoots for several of the top interior magazines & she works both as a writer & photographer. You can find more of her work here.

Every single room and space is amazing! She sure does have amazing taste and style!!
ReplyDeleteI love how neat and organized it is, combined with style!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it all. I could just move right in. I agree with Ashlina, that sofa looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous, stylish, light filled home. I really like the mis-matched dining chairs and that bookshelf is awesome - I can see why you loved it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful home! I really like the combination of black, white and grey walls with different timber finishes and I love the striped sofa.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a most stunning home. Black and white is such a sophisticated theme. I love the black feature wall - so dramatic!
ReplyDeleteI really like the light in all her pictures. All spaces feels so opend and light. / Henrick
ReplyDeleteI love the black hallway! We're building our new home now and there will be a lot of dark shades of greys and black. In our previous house all walls were white wich is very common in Scandinavia.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in the same blue Vitra chair ringt now as seen in the picture abow :)
Than's for great inspiration!
I love the closet area with that gorgeous blue fabric against the chocolate/black(?) wall. Amazing. Sigh. I'm no where near my home looking like that! Just starting out here if you have any ideas for me! http://designsprinkle.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThat's very inspiring indeed. The design looks effortless, yet perfect and very unique! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the vintage and modern together. The black and white combo is very inspirping also!

I loveshelves full of books and the different chair in the kitchen look so stylish. Lovely home!!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course! What is harder for me is to not just straight up copy it but instead make it mine in some way. I love being inspired by all of the fabulous blogs/magazines out there, including yours!
ReplyDeleteThis pad is oh so stylish. So many details that I love. Wall of books, farmhouse sink, color palette, mix of unique furnishings!
ReplyDeleteGreat Inspiration for my own home indeed! You find the goods Jen! ;)

Loving the black and white. It is so classic but looks so fresh!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to paint one of my walls black in my home..This looks great.
ReplyDeletePretty sweet pad!
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful home; it makes me want to see her new one!
ReplyDeleteand thank you, jen, for your sweet comment on my blog — i absolutely love yours!
what a fantastic house! yes we do a lot of white around here, I think we are not that used to wallpaper and colors, it's just starting slowly though
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots and an amazing home! I wish I could recreate all of those rooms but I only live in a 2 bedroom apt right now. lol.
ReplyDeleteSo great - I need that striped sofa! Im linking this post on my blog Grayboulevard.blogspot.com :)
ReplyDeleteEvery single room and space is amazing and together looks like stylish and light filled home. She does have amazing taste and style. I like the combination of black, white and grey walls with different timber finishes and the mismatched furniture. It gives to this home it‘s own personality.
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Elli
I love every single room in her home. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, tidy, organized home! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYES I have been inspired by decor photos to apply it in my home. I'll often have a problem area that I'll be mulling over while doing other things, then one day I'll come across a photo that has a creative answer to my dilemma, and I'll GASP and print the photo and apply it at home!
The last idea like that was to take all my magazines that were in four parts of my apartment and stack them up above my kitchen cupboards since I'm not a kitschy kind of a decorator that fills that space up with little things. Now the area looks chic and tidy with books and magazines and I have more free space in my apartment!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it was a great solution. I love when that happens, you get instantly inspired & then you see the results in your own home! (After you do it of curse)!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean...I think making it your own is a good thing. It becomes almost original in a sense, because it doesn't look exact;y like the one you saw. However, I admit, there are times where I want the exact item etc in my home....
*wide eyes*
ReplyDeleteits heaven and it looks like the inside of elle decor.
*faints*
I think white is perfect for decorations
ReplyDeletebeautifull house!
