After 8 years in Sweden I thought I knew how to deal with the long winter; leave the country when the snow arrives! If you travel to the Canary Islands or Thailand around early spring you're bound to be surrounded by tanned Swedes stocking up on some much needed sun! But this Autumn I noticed something new- everyone's heading off now too. A holiday in September presumably to soften the blow of the end of the summer. Since I have missed the boat (litereally) I'm mentally transporting myself to this stunning home in Spain by architects / property developers Abaton (via 79 ideas) instead. It has just the right mix of Spanish rustic, industrial and modern designer elements to really soften the blow of the impending winter.

I spy Tom Dixon again in the form of the Beat Lights (just goes tp show how versatile Tom Dixon lights are - yesterday the Copper Shade Pendant looked at home in a retro style home, today the Beat Lights look fab in a contemporary minimalist home. The Wegner Wishbone Chairs also blend in beautifully. I could certainly see myself celebrating the end of summer here, could you?
Do you have any winter survival tips?!
I can't tell you how much I love that kitchen, at top of page. So beautiful. Actually, everything in this post is stunning.
ReplyDeleteA holiday in preparation for Winter- the Swedes are just beyond brilliant at this point in my book. Winter tips: vaselline/petroleum jelly to the keep skin happy and Mexican hot chocolate to keep the heart happy.
ReplyDeleteMy survival is nice tea, movies, a lot of candles and once in a while to buy something for your home....Shopaholic as I am :)

After just a few days of cold and rainy weather, I'm missing sunny Alabama. It'll be my first "real" winter in over 12 years. I'm thinking a trip back to the States might be happening in January.
ReplyDeleteSå mycket fin inspiration, gillar speciellt vaserna och det fina gröna kruset.
