The Perfect Mix!

This home with its hints of Gustavian and Southern French design, is the perfect blend of the old and new.  I can't help but to love the clean and simple aesthetic throughout all the rooms... especially the kitchen! 

When one thinks of Swedish style, we often think of white and blue-hued images of the Gustavian period.  

All I can say is there is nothing I love more than someone having the confidence to mix the old with the new, while keeping a simple balance.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do:

I came across this gorgeous Scandinavian blog today entitled Min Lilla Veranda.

Her taste is incredible!  

I have always been a huge fan of Sweden's innate sense of style.

Have a wonderful week!  

What is Gustavain?

Gustavian is a genre of style, named after Sweden's King Gustav III. The style is clean and elegant with neoclassical detailing. The style evolved from the court of Louise XVI and was brought back to Sweden by Gustav III and his architects. I love this look! 18th century French decor can be too extreme in the Rococo arena; a little goes a long way. Mixing these two styles are a perfect fuse between art and nature; they carry tones that not only sooth my soul, but bring balance and peace to a home.
