A Nordic Addition to the Gallery Wall

Silke Bonde - Leaf Lines, Banquet Workshop - Cactus, Kari Kristensen - Mountains, Theo Mazurek - Fingerpainting, Kyu huang - Cloud Legs 

I have been looking to add a larger scale piece of art to our gallery wall for a while now.  While at times I am tired of our gallery wall, with only one or two walls in our small home to display art, a gallery wall allows us to show our differing tastes and change up the art often.  

During my search, I fell in love with Danish artist Silke Bonde's beautiful, minimal watercolour prints and have been dreaming of adding one to our wall.  Have you seen her artwork before? Or her apartment and studio for that matter?  Everything she touches is simple and serene and how I hope our apartment looks (not quite there yet). I was working out what Danish dollars equal in Canadian dollars and trying to estimate duties and taxes when I stumbled upon Canadian Scandinavian design shop Gron + White.  Gron + White is the exclusive Canadian distributor of Silke Bonde prints and is the most gorgeous and inspiring online shop for Scandinavian design and lifestyle items.  Along with some of my favourites like Menu, Ferm Living and Norman Copenhagen, they carry smaller designers I wasn't yet familiar with.  Basically I want to fill my entire tiny home with everything in their store! To start I chose the Leaf Lines Print by Silke Bonde.  With 2 young kiddos, my days of quietly wandering design stores are quite limited at the moment, so I am grateful for an easy to navigateCanadian design store that I can browse from my laptop, wine in hand, after the kids are in bed.

Thanks to Gron+White for the beautiful print. The lovely owner Britt and I are also working together on a giveaway on Instagram so keep an eye on my account there for details! Also take a look at the Nordic Mood section of the Gron + White website for inspiring Scandinavian homes. I think I have already pinned almost everything here :). 

Gallery wall, always a work in progress...
