A Collection of Vintage and Classic Scandinavian Pieces

This is an impressive array of Scandinavian finds here in this guest cottage belonging to John Baker and Juli Daoust of Mjolk, Toronto. The 1940's cocktail cabinet is by architect Alvar Aalto and was an online find. It is made of mahogany with the signature Aalto bent birch legs. The trio of framed Swedish lithographs was found in a local Toronto market while the dining set is from Artek - a 1955 design by Ilmari Tapiovaara. Nice.
You can see more details of this guest cottage renovation here as well as the main cottage here.

Spring Looks from Pale & Interesting

While it is not officially Spring yet, one cannot miss that there is warmth to the air, less need to wear the heavy woollen coat and that it is getting lighter in the evenings. It does feel very promising indeed that Spring is not far off. Here are some Spring/Summer images from the Pale & Interesting look book -  a mix of vintage, prettiness, personality and relaxed living.

Check out Pale & Interesting for their great online store and for the work of stylist, Atlanta Bartlett and furniture and interior designer, Dave Coote.
