On the fence about painted floorboards? Then, I'm here to tell you that it absolutely is a good idea! It's a cost effective and stylish way to ...
...Inspiration OK, so as I'm typing this, I am actually stuck in the kitchen... ...I have been spending this week whitewashing our living room floorboards, and I applied the final coat of wax this morning....So now I am stuck, waiting for it all to dry!! I love wooden flooring, and it was one of those things that made us choose our house in the first place: But our living room, being at the back of the house, is quite dark....not helped by the original,yellowing pine wooden floorboards. And as time has passed they'd become a bit grubby and worn, leaving me longing for those beautiful Scandinavian style whitewashed wooden floors! Earlier this year, Mr. and I decided we would invest in some new Laminate flooring, but as faith would have it, we had to abandon our plans for financial reasons... I was gutted! But determined to make the best of what I had to work with, I have now , as mentioned above, given our battered old floorboards a new lease of life, by whitewashing them myself...A how-to post on this is coming soon!! But for today, I will show you some images I found on Pinterest that inspired me to do this in the first place!! (I have tried to credit the original sources where I could): Image via uncovet I just love the way you can , just about, see the original grain of the wood through the whitewash: It looks so elegant and effortlessly chic...Not to mention how it makes a great canvas for colored and textured rugs! Image via apetycznewnetrzearpe We have white walls in our living room, as I am a big fan of the Scandinavian all white interior look...with the whitewashed floorboards it looks bright and airy! By adding lots of different textures to the room , you can avoid it all looking too stark and cold. (I just loooooove the textures in the image above....and that sofa cover!!) Photo cred: Hemma hos Larsons Some people worry about the upkeep of whitewashed wooden flooring, but if it's finished correctly with a good hardwood wax, it is actually surprisingly easy to keep, by just mopping it down with a damp rag once a week...and it looks so nice and clean! Image via blackbirdstyle Whitewashed floors comes in different looks and finishes: You can get a barely there look by just lime-washing the wood or a more dense look by using paint. It can be as smooth and finished as you'd like, or maybe a bit distressed looking....it all looks beautiful to me!! Image via the marion house book Maybe it's because I'm Norwegian, and I have that yearning for all things Scandinavian....or maybe it's because it is a trend that has been brought to the forefront of my mind, as I keep seeing more and more of these beautiful whitewashed floors in magazines, on instagram and various interior blogs... but I am absolutely in love with this look, and am feeling rather pleased with myself that I have just given our living room this treatment... As mentioned above, I will post how-to whitewash your wooden floorboards next week, along with a little sneak-peak on my living room Scandinavian style makeover! https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5334983011637438110#editor/target=post;postID=8284451819364864907;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=18;src=link

If you're about to buy a new home, or you're doing up a room, take a look at our interior advice
As someone who sources furniture and props for private clients and commercial interior shoots, as well as styling for interior designers and architects, it’s hardly surprising that Heidi Maude has a beautiful home. Born in Belgium, Heidi who now lives in London with her husband and two children Ella, 13, and Louis, 10, describes her style as “definitely not minimalist! I’m inspired by what I’ve inherited from my family and travels, mixed in with a bit of French, Scandinavian, Japanese aesthetics – I think… I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s maximalist, but let’s just say if it’s had a previous interesting life I’m quite happy to give it another chance! It does need to be cosy, warm, welcoming and not boring.” A complete ‘tip’ when they found it, the house had to be completely reconfigured to turn it into the family home it is today. “We did a mini-extension to the back, turned the top floor one bedroom flat into our master bedroom, put a new kitchen in and two new bathrooms, turned a bedroom into a guest bathroom, re-plastered top to bottom then redecorated, all whilst living there!” says Heidi. With pieces sourced from small design companies, classic …
