A grey-scale Swedish apartment with a dreamy bedroom

I know I'm not alone in my love of grey-scale Swedish apartments - it's hard not to have a weakness for this style isn't it?! And this newly renovated space in Gothenburg (again!) has it all - including a beautiful light wood floor, high ceilings, a beautiful 'kakelugn' (or masonry stove) and a lorry load of white paint! But what really captured my imagination is the bedroom with it's large, airy feel and beautiful mix of classic and contemporary pieces. Not only that but it also has plenty of storage space too - hooray! I also love the contrast against the charcoal coloured walls in the adjoining room. I could wake up here every morning, how about you?!

Such a lovely space, don't you think?! Is there anything that stands out to you in particular?

Get the look: white linen bedding, this light grey knitted blanket is similar, butterfly chair (loving the cognac leather!), 7 chair, AJ floor lamp.

Other links I love today:

A cabin surrounded by nature.

Coming from a sailing family my first love will always be the sea, which is why this 'beach vibe' interiors post hit a chord. Roll on summer!

Lovel, love, love H&M's urban jungle theme for Spring / Summer 2016.

Fancy a pear and nutella tart for pudding tonight? (I'm not sure the Nutella would last long enough to create a tart in our house)?!

We're leaving Sri Lanka tomorrow after three wonderful weeks sniff, sniff. To get a taster of the rhythm of the South of this beautiful country, take a look at this film clip shot by two swedes who have set up a surf and yoga camp here. Tempted?!

Have a lovely day!

A romantic Swedish home with vintage touches

Even though I've published over 1000 Scandinavian home tours here on My Scandinavian Home, there are some spaces which really stand out. This Swedish family home in Gothenburg is one of them. And now it's time for owners Cattis, Robert and their daughter Stella to move on. How they can part with this beautiful home with it's magnificent garden doors, exposed brick walls, sweeping staircase and romantic wallpapers is beyond me. But one thing's for sure, I'm sure their next home will be equally, if not more, fabulous! And whoever snaps up this space (for sale here) is very lucky indeed! Tempted?!

Homeowner: Cattis / Another side of this life. Entrance. 

It could be that the style looks a little English with it's patterned wallpaper, retro kitchen tiles and rows of books. Or it could simply be that the owners have created a truly personal, unique and relaxed space with a lovely romantic touch. Either way, I absolutely love this home!

Could you imagine living here?

Get the look: kitchen - cube illusion tiles in grey look similar, Vitra hang-it-all,  Tom Dixon Etch light, source beautiful vintage mirrors here, I love these vintage Thonet chairs similar to the ones seen in the dining area. Sitting room - vintage string shelving, find a similar macrame wall hanging here, seagrass basket. Bedroom: Linen bedding. William Morris wallpaper.

You can see more pictures of this lovely space here. It's also worth putting your feet up and browsing Cattis' blog which often features lovely snapshots of family life within the home.

Have a lovely day!
