TRENDS and OVERDOSE

I think I might have had an overdose of interior design blogosphere.
I've gone through so many blogs recently, especially Scandinavian blogs
and I feel as I 've been stuffing myself with great amounts of the most wonderful cake.
I got sick.
As much as I was drooling over simple white and black Scandi interiors in the beginning,
to see just one more perfect, stylish Scandi interior
makes me, sort of nauseous.
It seems that every second female person in Norway, Holland, Sweden or Denmark writes a blog.
I imagine an army of trendy, creative women, proud of their homes and lifestyle,
styling their houses and taking hundreds of photos
which then they hurry to put on their blogs.
I imagine them as an army of painters, painting their worlds on blog canvases,
each day a brush stroke.
Or an army of chirping birds, tweeting about their worlds,
inspiring the rest of us with the beauty of their worlds and vision.
Anyway, why is that so that women, in aforementioned countries,
have the passion of styling their homes
and showing them off to the rest of the world?
They have mastered this art to perfection.
But after having seen so many Scandi interiors,
you can not help to notice that they are all much alike.
You've seen one trendy scandi house, you've seen them all.

Big eyes are watching you from everywhere.

To ease the perfection and black and white sterile atmosphere,
there are some pink accents here and there.

And wishy -washy tapes as an element of casual fun.

Andy Warhol posters.
Big letters.
Hanging bulbs.

So, these are just some of the trends and styling ideas
that have gone viral throughout the interior blogosphere in nordic countries.
