Each city has its own distinctive style and flavor. In her book Home Style by City, author Ida Magntorn shares how to create a London vibe with a home full of quirky, unexpected and humorous pieces, along with Victorian gold accents, velvet and florals. The Houzz Shop is brimming with everything you need to decorate your home with iconic decor inspired by London. All that’s missing is your best British accent.

Ida’s book is loaded with wonderful images of her friends’ stylish homes who are collectors of vintage finds. She also lists favorite flea markets, best movies to watch, books to read, and music to listen to. Sounds like my kinda girl friend.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to hop on a plane to London…I’m going to go make myself a cup of tea.
