Oi Soi Oi

Oi Soi Oi is Vietnamese for “goodness gracious me” and it's a Danish company designing and producing interior designs, furniture, clothes and accessories. It was founded by Britt Goodall and Christina Thorbøll in 2007. Their products are made by hand in carefully selected workshops in Vietnam.

The combination of the Scandinavian design simplicity with the rich craft heritage of Asia, makes their products unique and exceptional. I'm in love with their collections!!! Fabulous neutral materials, such as silk, bamboo, ceramic and lovely colors, that have exotic yet a little bit romantic vibe.

DIY: Wallpapered wall

When I was younger, all walls of my room were covered in wallpaper. So when I finally got ride of it, I've decided to never have wallpaper on my walls again. Unexpectedly lately I'm again into wallpapers, especially when they cover only one wall of the room, making a great statement and being an amazing accent. That's why I've decided to wallpaper one of my walls. And so, here is my pick and the place, where I want to put it.

Little cozy apartment

I looove this apartment - it's so warm and cozy. It's not big, however you can find everything what is needed here. So there is a living room with nice coffee table and a great sofa with lovely pillows in shades of beige and coral. You can find there also a dinning space with beautiful chairs in Louis style together with modern Tulip table. And behind there's a nice, white kitchen annex. There is also quite impressive bookcase, for literature collection and little bathroom behind the glass doors. But the space I love the most, is bedroom. I adore the wallpaper and shelves behind the bed. And I would die to have bedspread and pillows, like these.

Photography by Marcus Lawett

Amazing photos, taken by Swede Marcus Lawett, who specialize in interior and still life photography. He's very talented and has worked for clients such as: Elle Interior and IKEA. And here are some of his works, which I like the most.

Rustic - modern loft

I want to move to this loft immediately - it's stunning!!! I love so many things about it. The totally open floor plan, that makes the space look bigger. The beautiful color palette, mostly in white and grays with some color details. And last but not least, the mix of rustic and modern furniture and accessories, that gives the loft interesting and individual vibe.

Paying a visit to: Suzanne Kasler's office

I'm in love with interior designer Suzanne Kasler's atelier. It's such an airy and light space. This work office is very soft and comfortable, but yet everything here is very well thought of and organized. For example, even though everyone works in a one room, Kasler designed the space so that each person has a sense of privacy. “We’re all able to work in tandem, but without being distracted”, she says.
