At Home with H&M!

Blossoms Abound – Spring 2011

We love H&M Home and after reading about the company’s collections season after season on Bright Bazaar and other blogs for years, we’re so excited to hear that the company is finally launching home accessories in the US after making their way through Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and the U.K.  At last, we will experience first hand the fabulous finds we’ve been longing to have.

Pretty Petals for Spring 2012

In true runway to home style, H&M lovers will be able to decorate their homes the way they fill their closets – with the same “cheap chic” panache the company is known for in fashion.  Each season, this European import will produce three “trend” collections, introducing many coordinating accessories every two weeks.

With the help from Nielsen’s in Darien (the original pine, eucalyptus and bay leaf base was made by Jo Malone in London) and decorations and ribbon from Target, we did our best to replicate the laid-back country elegance that filled the home with such a cozy feeling.  We decked the doors (all three!)…
