Hello Lover...

My friends and I immediately fell in love with this orange Swedish Grace period Greek key and gilt bed in the H.M. Luther booth at The International Fine Art and Antique Dealers Show last Friday.  If we could have afforded it, I'm sure we would have all fought over it.  It's perfection.  It was made around 1929 by Axel Einar Hjorth for Nordiska Kompanient.  Apparently Axel was a leading Swedish designer in the first half of the 20th-century.  The H.M. Luther website states that "his pieces of furniture for the Nordiska Kompanient were characterized by craftsmanship of high quality and advanced combinations of material. The furniture was manufactured for a financially strong clientele with modern demands."  I'd mix it in a room with abstract art, 18th-century French chairs, and 1970's bedside tables.  What would you do with it?

Natalie Haegeman, a decorator from Antwerp

 

Today I want you to meet a Belgian decorator who lives and works in Antwerp. Natalie Haegeman creates very charming interiors. She loves to decorate with antique objects, because they have a soul. Creativity and authenticity belong together, Natalie explains on her website.

And yes that is what you notice looking at the images on her website.

Natalie has a perfect eye to combine old and new objects and furniture. And she knows how to choose the perfect fabrics for upholstery and curtains.

Let's take a look.

Notice the color of the pottery on the table and the matching fabric Natalie chose for the blinds.

 

23

Orange upholstered armchair. I love it! This shade of orange looks wonderful with the surrounded objects and furniture.

  A shade of purple. Why not?

Natalie loves to work with beautiful lampshades and isn’t afraid to use some more vivid colors for those.

Perfect combination of the carpet and that coffee table, don’t you think?
