California Meets Scandinavia In A Cosy LA Home
We did it friends, it’s POETS day! Yay! Friday calls for something pretty fabulous right?! And I’m thinking the home of Sophie Carpenter would be an absolutely perfect way to round off the week! Built in 1928, Sophie’s ‘sepia’ LA home is a feast for the eyes. Think brown, brass, beige, cream and milky white tones in a living space that flows beautifully from one room to the next (let’s not ignore that rather fabulous arch!). Look closely and you’ll see Scandinavian design pieces beside funky pieces picked up in LA – as well as lots of arty details. Sophie, who works with production accounting on TV shows, describes her style as ‘Scandifornian’ – a totally new term to me, and I’m absolutely loving it. Welcome to her bright, comfortable and super cosy LA home!

Another day, another rug! The Sarah Sherman Samuel Iconic Stripe Rug to be precise (little surprise that this fabulous rug is already sold out – but they are taking pre-orders for the next batch!), I also love the Santa Barbara Pendant Light and Wishbone chairs

That’s Sophie’s dog ‘Rascal’ flying in through the door. Insert your own caption in the comments below! It’s definitely either dinner or walkies, what do you reckon?

Absolutely love the bathroom! After a quick snoop on Sophie’s instagram I discovered the wall sconces are from Cedar & Moss, the mirror is from Rejuvenation and the cabinets are Spaulding Company. Total perfection!

Oh wow! This tour really put a smile on my face, how about you?! Rascal, of course, stole the show by sweeping into the kitchen, all four paws off the ground! But once I got passed him, I couldn’t help noticing all the details (and the fabulous rugs!). What a wonderful haven!
Is there anything that stood out to you? 
See more pictures of Sophie’s lovely home on her instagram and home page
Here are a few more ‘Scandifornian’ homes to enjoy from the archives (I’ve got a feeling I’ll be using that term a lot moving forwards!): 
Kind of wish I was spending the weekend there – but I do have a fun one planned all the same here in Sweden as my sister Cas is coming over from London with my little nieces (who are 1 and 3) – I CAN’T WAIT!!! 
What are you up to this weekend?
I hope you have a brilliant couple of days, see you Monday!
