Yvestown
Yvonne och hennes man Boris och deras katt Boo bor i ett sagolikt vackert hus. Huset går i vitt och pastell och i en perfekt harmoni med varandra. Hon har inte bara en bra känsla för hur man inreder ett hem utan även för hur man tar fantastiska bilder. Hon drömmer om en röd stuga i Sverige och gillar att sammla på saker. Jag blir helt lycklig av hennes pastelliga hem. Just nu flyttar dom till ett nytt hus, bilderna här är mest från deras gammla hus. Så vi har nya fina bilder att se fram emot. Jag hoppas även att hon finner sin lilla röda stuga här i Sverige någon dag. Tack Yvonne för att vi får kika in i ditt underbara hem!

Tell me more about your work.
To be honest I'd love to answer this question because I get it a lot but I don't know the answer. I'm going to work on that this year and in the new house so that in a years time I can tell everyone who wants to know about my work LOL!
Which is your favorite room at home?
My office because all my office stuff is there (and I love office stuff) and because my mac is there.
Which is your favorite color?
Red, pink, blue, green and white. I only use these colors in my home. I also like yellow for clothing.
Where do you find your inspiration for your home?
Magazines, movies, books and other blogs.
Which is your best and your worst buy?
The best buy are two identical white cabinets. They cost a pretty penny but they've proven they are worth it. Worst buy was a really big Ikea sofa that looked great in the store where there's plenty of room but looked awful in my living room. It was like "hey what a great sofa but where is your living room?".
I actually think that I've just moved to one of my dream houses. I always dreamed of having a house I just bought but I also would love to own a red Swedish cottage.
Do you collect anything?
I collect anything to make a collection complete. If I like a book I read I want all the books by that author. The same goes with movies.
What would you never buy for your home?
Something covered with plush. Or those really ugly chairs painted in silver or gold and covered with animal print ... ugh, just the thought of it.
Whats your best advice when decorating at home?
Don't do it too quickly, let it evolve. Don't go for one style but try to mix styles. Don't buy everything at one store in one day. Try to listen to your home and slowly things will fall in place. I can easily sit for a couple of hours in a room and just wait until an idea comes up.

Vilka fantastiska färger de hade i sitt hem! Så vill jag också ha det. Lite opraktiskt med en vit soffa kanske...men ändå! En riktig dröm. Lite mer turkost hade iofs inte skadat =)
