From Janet & Julie:
Spotted (and admired) on Emmas Designblogg, an appealing rustic kitchen by Isabelle Halling, a Swedish interior designer. Halling mixes a lighting fixture fashioned from an industrial whisk with glossy white tiles, sleek black appliances, a kitchen island on wheels, and pale blue cabinets.



Mimic the look with the following elements:

Above: Junkmarket Style offers detailed step-by-step instructions for creating a light fixture made from a Hobart industrial whisk. Heavy-duty stainless steel and cast aluminum Hobart whisks are available in several sizes from Parts for Chefs on eBay, starting at $36.55.

Above: Halling uses a vintage pendant light over the dining table; for a similar look, consider the Cobalt Blue Gas Fixture with Antique Shade; $995 at PW Antique Lighting.

Above: The classic Italian Smeg 9.22-Cubic-Foot 50s-Style Refrigerator in Cream (many other colors available); $1,999 at Homeclick.

Above: Tryggve Shelf ($3 to $7 each depending on size) and Valter Brackets ($3 each) at Ikea. In Halling's kitchen, she painted the brackets black for contrast.
Above: Freestanding Datid Pro D51 AN Gas Range with five burners and convection oven; $1,749 at Ikea.

Above: Wall-mounted Datid Pro H50 Exhaust Hood with three fan speeds; $599 at Ikea.

Above: Vintage-Style Kitchen Island with Zinc Top (65 inches long by 30 inches wide by 31 inches high); $2,600 at Mecox Gardens. Custom sizes available.


Above: Heavy-duty industrial-strength casters (can support up to 1,000 pounds) in an assortment of sizes and configurations. The 4-inch poly on steel casters shown are $12.95 each at Ace Casters.
Some white kitchen chair options:

Above: The Spindle Chair; $99 at CB2.

Above: Village Grigio Side Chair; $179 at Crate & Barrel.

Above: Norvald Dining Chair; $69.99 at Ikea.

I love you guys. That Swedish Kitsch is so mod.
Or else you just do like Isabelle herself and go to junkyards and secondhand shops. Cheaper, more environmental and more original.
