Marga (short for Margarita) is one of the wonderful and talented “home owners” I have been fortunate to discover through Flickr. She was born in the warm and sunny Spain but currently lives and works in the not so warm or sunny London. Marga whose background is in graphic design, created a range of beautiful bags, tea towels and pillows, made from organic materials, which are available through Chocolate Creative.

I must confess it was the yellow sofa in that beautifully lit room that popped out and spoke to me when I first spotted Jan’s home in one of my favourite Flickr Groups - the Interior Styling group.

No, I’ve not started to blog in French :), Chez Larsson translates to "At the Larsson's" which is also the name of one of my all time favourite design blogs. Benita is the über-talented lady in charge of this stylish household, where she lives in with her husband Martin, teenage son Wille and two cats, Mini and Bonus. Benita describes herself as “a neat freak, an organizing fanatic and someone who truly enjoys getting her hands dirty”, she also loves DIY, gardening and renovating, sewing and crafting. Benita works ( not sure how she gets the time for all of this  :) ) as a visual merchandiser, and has used her home as an experimental lab for her many hobbies.

In Steven’s words his Chicago rental apartment is an "amalgamation of styles" which ultimately create a fabulous space full of character. The apartment’s understated décor is a brilliant compromise between Steven’s love for mid-century modern functional design pieces and his girlfriend Meredith love for antique toys, old drawers and books from the 40s.
