Så härligt lätt det är att hitta andra inredningsälskare världen över genom Instagram. En av mina favoriter är Laura Short med Instagram-namnet poppetshort. Efter att ha sett hennes inlägg blev jag nyfiken på veta mer om den lilla familjen från Alkmaar i Holland. Här delar jag med mig av bilder från deras hem och Lauras bästa shoppingtips.
Translation: I found Laura Short aka poppetshort on Instagram. I love her sense of style and her great taste in Scandinavian design. She was kind enough to share some photos of her home and tell me more about her family and thoughts about interior decoration.

This is the home of Laura, Christopher and little Magnus Odin.
Laura was born in the Netherlands and Christopher was born in England. After living in England they are now living in Alkmaar, Holland. Laura describes it as a sweet town
with lots of canals and cobbled streets. And with good vintage shops too! But they do have thoughts on moving to Sweden or Denmark where Christopher lived for a while. They love the style and nature of both Sweden and Denmark. | | | |

Laura works in health insurance, not her dream job. (that would be
being a stylist probably, or a photographer) but it allows her to work
with people and health care. And it does finances her internet shopping! You can find Laura´s favorite web-shops at the end.

Laura describe her style as a Scandinavian calm but with designer classics and a lots of vintage
thrown in! She love mixing white with pattern, for example white walls
with Liberty of London fabrics or artistic prints.
-My house isn't nearly
as finished, but I like it being a "work in progress" and I love seeing
it develop with time. I also think it's important to have humour in my
home, things don't have to be too serious or grown up.I find inspiration on
blogs, magazines, Instagram and vintage markets. I like seeing one's
personality reflected in ones home, and that is what inspires me most. My
favourite things in my home are made my creative people like yourself! I
love knowing that most of the things in my home are created by someone
in their homes, rather than a factory. I love my owl drawing that I
bought from you on AprillAprill, my wooden houses from Fabechs
Fabrik and my cloud mobile made by Clara Hagen. I also
love all the vintage things with an history, Laura says. |
