A Stockholm apartment with a touch of glam!

Do you find that often the best summer holidays turn out to be the ones on your doorstep? My family and I are on the Danish island of Anholt right now (OK, not exactly on our doorstep but near enough!). The sea is crystal clear and the island is circled with a ring of white, powdery sand - just beautiful! Don't be fooled by the water though, it's a little fresh!  We're heading North today to the Gothenburg archipelago (one of my favourite places - if you haven't been, it's a must!). But before we head off I wanted to check in and share this lovely Stockholm apartment with you which has been designed by Mainstreet. It's the glam 1920's art deco touch that caught my eye. Perfect inspiration to kick off the week?!

Mainstreet

Kind of lovely don't you think? Loving the touches of brass! And that window above the door?!

Could you imagine knocking about in this city pad?

Get the look....this is a great round brass coffee table (this HAY table is also very cool), source a Beni ourain rug here. This lamp with a touch of brass is a new favourite (and I love this round Tom Dixon tea light holder).

Since we're on holiday I'm planning on posting every other day this week, I hope that's OK? I've got two little girls and a man eagerly waiting in their swim gear, towels over shoulders.....

Have a great start to the week!

PS Don't forget to to enter my instagram give-away to win a fresh white pure linen tablecloth and napkins!

My home: dining area make-over

Last week I gave my home dining space a bit of a make-over with a lick of paint and some beautiful items from the Danish brand Nordal. Although Nordal's been around a long time, I only recently discovered the shop - and what a find! It's a family business which started when the father (Ingolf) fell in love with beautiful old Indian furniture. These days Nordal designs and sells a wide range of their very own beautiful pieces, while being careful to keep the original Nordal DNA. Anyway, I'm in love, and now I have a calm space at home to enjoy long brunches with family and friends! I hope you like it too!

What do you think?

I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a nice colour for the back wall. Thanks to Gen's recommendation, I finally settled on ALCRO fjäder which I mixed with a sand additive (Roll-A-Tex) for a more textured / lively finish. And I love it!

Here's a low down of other items in my dining area:

 1. dinner plate  2. cake plate 3. cup 4. tea pot 5. soup bowl  6. Chopping board 7. Cutlery 8. pure linen napkins  9. pure linen table cloth 10. glass bottle

The pure linen tablecloth and napkins are so fab! I was so excited when I received them that I've gone and organised a give-away here on instagram so you can win your own set! It only takes a second or two to enter (open until Friday 22nd July, 2016).
