Oh detail, lovely detail..

Hello hello lovely people!
Today when lounging over at the fab Anne Sage's 'City Sage' I came across this picture that stopped me in my tracks. 

Marie Claire Maison via the City Sage

The wonderful monochromatic inspiration of her post aside (yum also for the black cabinet in pic 3!), I fell hard for the way that the little gold ornaments on the left are hung. I really like the irregularity of the base vs the neatness of the top, and how it feeds off the colour and movement in the staircase.  
I can see this way of hanging art working very well in my dining room. Perhaps even in combination with a simple shelf..?! Hmmm.. time to procrastinate... :)


Hugs from the North.

    The gold ornaments against all that beautiful white has nice artistic flair.

    It is a beautiful space and the handrail and banister is so beautiful in its simplicity and delicacy.

    You must have moved to Sweden with all that white with black accents! (: Simple and wonderful!

    Happy weekend to you and the entire W family!

    Har så mycket att göra att jag går på knäna... Snart, mycket snart är det inte kul längre. Dags för nya äventyr tror jag.
