In all honesty I do dearly hope my heart is not made of steel... but I do have to admit being a tiny bit fascinated by steel. Even though I am very much a country girl at heart, I can not help but be drawn to some of the more industrial elements in decor.
I like to think they counterbalance some of the prettiness I like to surround myself with. Last august I bought the Tolix chairs that I am most pleased with. And when I found this steel wagon from House Doctor in my friend Eva´s fab webshop Landcharm I just knew it would be a nice "steely" addition to my home.
Not only does it look good, it is pretty nifty too. I love the industrial look wheels, and I love the fact that it can house some of my ever increasing collection of decorating books. As regular readers of my blog will know, books are one of my weaknesses.
Winter has us in its cold grip at the moment. We have a bit of snow, it is cold and grey. On days like this I enjoy spending time indoors, staying close to the wood burning stove. And browsing through some of my favourite books, which are now even closer to hand.

Det var da en lekker farge på de stolene dine! De likte jeg faktisk!
I also have this love affair with my books. I like the idea of using steel in decorating, although I have not tried it. I use silver, even in my jewelry.
I enjoy looking at your decorating style!
Mia, your way of mixing silvery metals with your beautiful textiles and wooden furnishings creates a harmonious contrast. I don't think that I could live in an environment that was "completely industrial" but also like the idea of some accents that are well-designed and very functional, too.
What a beautiful home you have. Enjoy being cosy by the fire while the weather is cold just beyond those windows!
Hello from Oregon. I like your new "tea cart"! It works in your house. My house is a turn-of-the-century farmhouse and I've decorated it with period antiques and lots of wood. I don't think I could work in anything industrial, but I can admire it in your house! I posted a video of my nearby waterfall on my blog a bit ago, I do hope you come and see. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Hei, Herlige blikkfang hos deg. God fredag! klem Siv:-)
Liker den, fordi den er liten og nett, hadde ikke passer like godt inn, hvis dette hadde vært et stor møbel - og stolene ER BARE KULE, basta ;)
god helg til deg Mia, så håper jeg solen titter frem og varmer deg - ciao fra Italia
