Behind The Blog ~ Meet Blogger Vibeke of Vibeke Design
Continuing with my new blog series "Behind The Blog", it is my pleasure and honor to introduce you to Vibeke Svenningsen of the much loved and admired blog Vibeke Design.
Vibeke is the voice and creative force behind Vibeke Design from Norway. Her style is a combination of rustic, vintage pieces, old world romance and Swedish design. She loves to incorporate nature and worn pieces into her decor. She has an incredible eye for detail, color and design. And may I add, her photography is magazine worthy. A true master at making everyday items into art. She is a wealth of inspiration and talent. It is no wonder why her blog is so popular on Pinterest and Instagram.
I invite you to read my interview of Vibeke below to get a glimpse into her world, creative mind, and beautiful work.
Take a look at these photos, aren't they stunning?
Q) Tell us a bit about yourself? My
name is Vibeke and I live in Norway. I live in a big house we built in 2001 with
my husband and two daughters.
(Q) When did you begin blogging
and why? I
began blogging in 2011. I began blogging because I enjoy painting and
being creative. So I started my blog to reach out to people with my art. Today the blog has taken another direction. It is more about interior decor.
(Q) What is your favorite part
about blogging? My
favorite part about blogging is sharing my pictures, thoughts, and interests
with my followers. It is always nice to read my visitors opinions and
comments.
(Q) Is Blogging your full-time job? No. I work
almost full-time in kindergarten, so blogging is just something I do on my free
time.
Q) You have a unique style and an incredible eye for detail.
How would you
describe your style? I
am a country girl and I have always loved bringing vintage style into our home.
I think it gives the home soul and a cozy warm feel. Old Swedish
style is also a big inspiration to my interior.
(Q) What inspires you? Nature
inspires me most. I love to bring nature into our home. On my daily
walks with our dog Nure, I always bring something
home home with me. In the summer, I pick flowers and in autumn I pick leaves or
branches... there are so many uses for these items in the home.
Perfect for decorations. I also love old houses and find them very
inspiring. I have always admired old things and the soul that shines
through them.
(Q) In your opinion, what has been key for getting your
blog noticed? I
have done very little for getting my blog noticed and have to give Pinterest a
BIG "THANK YOU"! I think Pinterest has made it possible
to reach audiences around the world with my blog. Most of my followers
are from the USA, and I think that it is wonderful. Through the blog I
have made some beautiful friendships in the states and around the world.
(Q) With all the gorgeous images that you share on your
blog, how do you
choose the ones that make it on
the blog? I
am a very spontaneous person so I blog about what inspires me... sometimes it
is flowers, beautiful colours or old furniture that I give a
"makeover" to.
(Q) How do you balance work, blogging and family life? Blogging
takes a lot of time and since my girls are grown up now, I can use my free time
for it. I find it inspiring, relaxing
and creative so I am going to pursue blogging and I hope that it becomes
full-time. Blogging and interior decorating.
(Q) And lastly, what one piece of advice would you give
other bloggers? I think you should be
true to your style and blog with joy and happiness in your heart.
