Serene and relaxed small space living in Gothenburg

Well hello there! How was your weekend? I feel like I blinked and missed it - but it was lovely anyway! Eye watering start here today - but through my blurry 6am vision I can still just about make out the beauty of this home styled by Emma Fischer for Bjurfors. Yet again it's a great example of how small can also be beautiful (remember last Monday's post? In this home the main living space has been divided into a sitting room and bedroom zone - with great results! And even the fairly narrow kitchen looks like an airy private dining room! Wonderful! Let's take a peek....

Photography - Alan Cordic. Styling - Emma Fischer. Bjurfors.

I think my favourite spots are the gallery wall (love the grey / green tone) and the kitchen with the balcony door thrown open. How about you?!

A few items I know and love: sitting room - rattan chair, coat & umbrella stand, source an over-sized industrial lamp here, I like this zig-zag cushion, menu chair in white. Bedroom - blue and white linen bedding (I discovered this dark green linen bed set at the same time - lovely!), chunky knit cushion, table lamp, basket. Kitchen - linen table cloth, pendant lamp, bentwood chairs.

A few other links I love from the weekend:

This bedroom (the window!).

A mesmerisingly bold girls bedroom.

Indigo bed linen love (this bedding is similar).

Shall we skip the working week and kick back at this beach house? No early starts here....or perhaps a few evenings on this terrace?! How I love a sea view.

Have a wonderful start to the week!

PS That's today's lunch sorted....

Scandinavian style pet furniture and accessories

Do you have a cat? I once had a feline friend called Frederik-Bo, who was so sociable, he'd even go to the cafe round the corner to eat muffins with the clientele. When he first arrived home as a kitten I remember finding it impossible to find pet items that fitted with the look and feel of our home (you know how fussy I am), so instead Fredrik Bo made our sofa his very own scratch pad (guh!). Estonian based designers and creators Anatoli and Liis faced the same dilemma with their cat Juno, but instead set about creating beautiful scandinavian style pet furniture and accessories with clean lines and natural materials. The items proved to be so popular with both Juno and friends alike they have now launched Black Velvet selling a cat litter box cover / pet house, scratcher and toy - here's a sneak peak...

What a great concept!

I love the natural look of all the items and also that the pet house can double up as a side table! So clever! Find out more about each of the products over on Black Velvet. Or pick up the items in their online store, Etsy or Crowdyhouse.

Purrrfect! (sorry!).
