|
|
Jutta and her husband bought a 1956 rintamamiestalo (a Finnish house built after WW II) and have been documenting their renovation challenges on their blog ever since. This has lead her to be living a double life for a while now, working as freelance designer and illustrator (check out her blog for her gorgeous work) by day and a house renovator and interior designer by night.

Flickr real life homes: Camilla’s understated Scandinavian home
|
|
Camilla Engman is a talented Swedish artist and illustrator who shares her home in Gothenburg with her four-legged roommate Morran (a Danish/Swedish farm dog).
True to the Scandinavian style, her home is painted white throughout with a few splashes of colour here and there. Camilla kept it almost minimal yet it feels remarkably warm and comfortable.

Flickr real life homes: Chao Camp, from bland to fab
|
|
AB Chao lives in a beautiful three bedroom house in Monroe, Louisiana with her husband and daughter. I was so impressed with her home that at first, I took it as the work of a professional interior designer. As I dug deeper by reading her blog and finding other references to her, I realized that she was indeed a designer but not an interior designer, although in my not so humble :) opinion, her style is so cool I am sure she would be very successful if she ever went pro.

Flickr real life homes: Martha’s 1950’s Minneapolis home
|
|
Martha McQuade the designer behind the label UNIFORM Studio, lives in three bedroom, 1950's home in Minneapolis with her husband and two sons. Martha’s home felt spacious, light and airy so it was a surprise for me to learn that in fact it is only 1,100 sq ft ( 102 m2 ) of area. If you follow my blog you will quickly come to the conclusion that I have a soft spot for mid-century modern style and enjoy writing about homes that have character and feel lived in. Martha’s homes definitely ticks all the boxes for me - the handpicked mid-century modern design pieces, a favourite with both Martha and her husband, add character and functional elegance to this beautiful home.

Flickr real life homes: Chez Larsson
|

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.

Flickr real life homes: Steven’s cool Chicago pad
|
|
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.

Rachel an “artist and mama living in Louisiana”, was the first person to come back to me excited about having her home featured on my Flickr real life homes March edition. In the various emails we have exchanged she came across as the sweetest person you can image and her home, where she lives with her husband and 2 children, is a reflection of her warm and sunny disposition.

I am very excited about the March edition – sounds like my blog has become a magazine :) - dedicated to real life homes of people across the world who have chosen Flickr to display their beautiful homes.
I have not intended for each home feature to be a comprehensive room by room tour, instead my goal was to allow you to take a glimpse at the style, some details and take in fresh decorating ideas.
