16 house: I LAY MY HAT .....

I LAY MY HAT .....

I'm so not a fan of the over-styled, just for the photo, kind of spaces .....that's why I love these shots of "real" spaces lived in by "real" people.

They are from this wonderfully named blog " I Lay My Hat and I Wish to Stay" .... It's the creation of Emma Persson Lagerberg and Linda Berlin, an interior styling team working out of Stockholm and Malmö, Sweden ....

Brittany H. said...: This is my FAVORITE kind of style (both interior, and the photography). White walls, let the color come from the objects in the room. How inspiring.

Happy day,

Suvi / vähän vinoon said...: I am also really inspired about their blog and natural style of photographing the unstyled homes. There's something so much more genuine and unapologetic when the pictures are not "perfect".; February 23, 2011 at 5:31 AM

Thanks!! Though I can't keep up with all the blog-loveliness out there.; February 24, 2011 at 1:37 AM
Galit said...: I totally agree and it is definitely the best kind of interiors inspiration for me although I do enjoy some of the more styled and 'precise' look of other interiors sites.
It is very well done but maybe it could have been even better with a bit of better photography or processing (for my humble opinion). Great idea altogether.; February 26, 2011 at 6:33 PM
