Relaxed Warmth
The lovely Copenhagen home of Christoffer Kurpátow and his three children is an oasis of calm, with its warm palette of creamy whites, cognac, brass and natural wood. Beautiful. More here on Residence.

Atelier: Agnes Martin
I've always been a huge fan of the legendary abstract and minimalist painter Agnes Martin — and a quote of hers that I came across the other day has really resonated with me lately:
"The measure of your life is the amount of beauty and happiness of which you are aware."
Love. Watch an interview with her here.

Minimalist Cool
Located north of Copenhagen, this beautiful early 1960's house in the woods is pretty much the perfect retreat from the busy noise of the city. Love. More here on Femina.

Sponsored Post: Minted
The lovely stationery and wall art site Minted recently invited me to choose my favourite pieces from their collection of art by independent designers — something I was more than happy to do as there are so many great images to choose from. Here's a few of my favourites — find more here.
art credits: magnolia moonlight, joni tyrrell, j. bartyn, yao cheng, sylvieceres designs, lori wemple, kelly money, stacey meacham.
Thanks again to Minted. Please note that all opinions are mine. And thanks so much for reading this sponsored post — by doing so you help make automatism possible.

Retro Cool
A bland, outdated apartment is now a glam and memorable space for a Madrid family, thanks to Leticia Martinez and her team at Trestrece Interior. Amazing retro style. More here on Nuevo Estilo.

Moments of Beauty
Shimmer. I've been really attracted to bronze tones lately — love its rich amber warmth. Model Guinevere van Seenus in Rodarte, photographed by Josh Olins for Vogue China, April 2011.

Simple Pleasures
Getting your hands dirty. Whether you paint, draw, sculpt, garden, rebuild old cars, bake, make furniture or other manual occupations, it's deeply satisfying to create something with your own two hands.
