Gorgeous, light-filled interiors from photographer Emily Gilbert

I randomly found Emily Gilbert website while looking for photographer portfolios. It usually takes me awhile before I find one who I don't exit out of at first glance, but hers was worth clicking through!

I'm so glad purple has been getting the love it deserved recently!


I'm leaning towards B because it feels a little warmer to me, and more realistic to maintain. I'm open to persuasion though!

Gorgeous and serene Swedish interiors

A colleague and I were having a friendly little debate about Swedish design yesterday. He wasn't too keen on their interior design because it was all "too modern and the colors are too neon bright." I begged to differ. While you do see a lot of modern design in Sweden, one can't forget about the luxurious and clean Gustavian style. It is definitely one of my favorite looks! So, our little conversation inspired me to go on a photo hunt :)

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
