Pernille Teisbaek – Copenhagen Home

Pernille Teisbaek a Danish creative director and designer husband Philip Lotko were lucky enough to have found and begun renovations on an 1875 home in western Copenhagen. They built a beautiful minimalistic home filled with quality details.

They enlisted Peter Møller to design the moldings and white plaster birds on the ceiling in the living room. Below is a before and after of the living room and the noted plaster details.

Malene Hvidt, architect from the Copenhagen studio Spacon & X was hired to help with the layout of the home. Pernille and Philip wanted a home that was romantic yet practical to raise their 3 boys in. Pernille states “The kitchen is made of steel, in contrast with the romanticism of the stucco. Dialectics make things more interesting. I like steel and it’s easy to clean, which you can’t do if red wine stains a more delicate surface.”

Love the romantic curves of the staircase and the softness of the chevron wood floor.

Simple neutral details and below a feature stripped stone floor.

FOR THE LOVE OF KITCHENS – DeVOL KITCHENS

Have you watched the show ‘For the love of Kitchens’ yet on HBO Max?!? It is so good. I am obsessed with Helen Parker the creative director! I love that Cotes Mill a historic 16th-century water mill on the banks of the River Soar, just outside Loughborough, is an epicenter of creativity; an artisans dream world. They conceptualize and create furniture, lighting, kitchen accessories and ceramics just to name a few categorizes of items available to the public. It is great to see how co-founder Paul O’leary, managing director Robin McLellan and Helen encourage their team to explore design ideas creating what seems like healthy artistic work environment and as a result creating one of a kind DeVol staples.

They have 5 different kitchen collections – The Real Shaker, The Classic English, The Heirloom, The Sebastian Cox and The Haberdasher.

CHANGE

Its been a while, life seems to have whizzed by which is crazy to me! I remember my parents telling me to appreciate my childhood because the older you get the faster it goes…..they of course were right.

On another note lots of change has occurred to me recently, it all seems to have happened unexpectedly and at once. It can feel lonely and of course things will resolve themselves overtime, but boy, its not fun right now. Hibernating or going on a far away destination seems like the appropriate choice at the moment, though some would call that running away. Since I cannot do that in reality here’s a mood board of growth, travel, self exploration and trying to find solitude.
