Scrapbook: 12+ Storage Ideas Round-up

With school starting up in some places already and just around the corner here, I've collected a little round-up of great storage ideas for fall or anytime really. Some of these you may have seen as of late, but most of them are new to the blog and hopefully to you. (Above and just below: Love these wicker baskets placed on the wall vs just sitting on the floor from In My House Blog). Also I like the clips she has hanging on the wall versus the clipboard.

Ikea has a new series of storage boxes called KVARNIK which flirts with past times when crates and boxes were as well made as it's contents. Dressed in off-white or dark blue jute cloth with label holders for labeling contents, the boxes come in formats tailored to include magazines, CDs and DVDs in a nice vintage style which is easy to show (love them mixed with real vintage storage as shown in this image from Livet Hemma).

This low shelf with a mix of found storage boxes (vintage and new) has a really nice laid back feel to it that I really like. (Via Emmas blogg). Photography by Pernilla Hed for Hus & Hem.

There's just something glamorous going on with this storage solution. It's got that carefree sort of jet set vibe. Photo: Lisa Cohen. (Via La Maison d'Anna G.)

Bookshelves just always seem to work in a dining room, and love these stacked super high from the home of Michale Murphy in Brooklyn, New York via Apartment Therapy. Images: Mat Sanders.

Scrapbook: Kitchens Round-Up (Part 1)

Balthazar's Keuken

Continuing on my scrabook project where I'm gathering clippings of rooms for inspiration and reference on the blog; here are some kitchens I've started to collect. Since we are closing in on getting some actual cupboards for our kitchen (which has finally been fitted with real live walls and a ceiling this past weekend); I've been starting to really focus in on cupboards and layouts. Since our reno has started I'm quite surprised how my tastes have changed. Currently I'm really liking just the "lowers" look (like the image above - not even shelves) - is this a European thing? And hey, how affordable. I'm also really liking black and found the above image over at Bodie and Fou (by the owners of Balthazar's Keuken) for inspiration. What are your thoughts? Do you like this look (without uppers)?

Speaking of cupboards. Does anyone know of some good local sources (besides IKEA)? I just thought I'd consider local makers/suppliers as well. In the meantime, some inspiration for the scrapbook.

Scrapbook: Bedrooms Round-Up (Part 1)

Via My Ideal Home

I've been meaning to for quite sometime gather different clippings of rooms I admire for inspiration in hopes of creating a spot for them here on the blog. Thanks to Pinterest, it has helped me do that and now my collection is getting bigger and to the point where I want to share them with you. I'm going to start posting them throughout the summer in hopes of creating a nice spot for inspiration and reference. Some of them you may have already seen here in different posts, but hopefully they'll be repeats you like. Eventually we'll set up a little navigation for them all on the site. So to start, a few summery bedrooms. I love this first one, which one's your favourite?
