Hello there! I hope you had a great weekend? I arrived in Finland last night, and am sooo excited (once again, any Helsinki tips so welcome!). We've got a full on shoot day today but I wanted to check-in, say 'hei' and share a few snaps from the striking Norrman household in Norrebro, Copenhagen. Beautifully captured by Lina Östling and Mari Strengheilm, interior designers Anna and Lars have decorated their home with a cool blend of white, dusty pink and dark grey, striking black marble and an eclectic mix of antique and flea market finds as well as items picked up travels. Their lovely doggy Helium looks right at home on that sofa, and rightly so?!

What a fabulous home - soooo striking?! Is there anything that stands out to you? I've got my eye on that African juju hat - it looks beautiful framed.
Other items I love: sitting room - Beni Ourain rug. Loom and Field sells beautiful kilim pillows / cushions and rugs like these. Workspace - print: Faux poster collection - x, wishbone chair. Kitchen - marble tiles, Calabash pendants.
See more pics and a full write-up of Anna and Lars' home over at Sköna Hem here (in Swedish). The duo have a great instagram feed too!
Other lovely homes captured by Lina Östling include the happy home of Johanna Flyckt Gashi (love this), Mari Strengheilm's island home (beautiful) and a Swedish home with a relaxed boho vibe (the colours).
Right - better get on with the job... have a wonderful start to the week and see you Wednesday*!
*I'm on 'slow blogging' summer time right now while my girls are on their school holiday and posting every other day - bear with me for a couple more weeks and then I'll be back daily again!

Finally some colours !
ReplyDeleteYay! I love the colours in this home - beautiful! Happy Monday! X
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Finland!
You should absolutely go to a swimming hall in Yrjönkatu. They have different opening hours to men and women - and most of the people swim naked. Ask the cabin from second floor. There you can also order some food if you are hungry, or you can have a little rest on the cabin bed and there are two different saunas. The swimming hall is old and beautiful! You should also go to common sauna to Harjutori, or to a Culture sauna in Merihaka or to a new seaside sauna Löyly in southern Helsinki.
Have a dinner in Sando in Kallio and lunch in Birgitta, seaside cafe. Walk around the design district. Take a bus or train to Tapiola, Espoo and go to museum Emma to see Rut Bryks art. Kiama and Ateneum are also worth of visit. Go to Linnanmäki, amusement park to the old train... And take a ferry to Suomenlinna.
Enjoy your stay!

Amazing! Thank you so much Kirsi! I've made a note of all these things, they sound wonderful! Really excited about my day (already wishing I had more time but I guess I'll just have to return!).
DeleteHave dinner at The Cock! The food is good and I love the atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tip Sanna!
DeleteWas just in Helsinki last week and had a great dinner at Kitch. We also did the tourist thing and took a bike tour with Happy Helsinki Guides and loved it. The Sibelius monument, the Chapel of Silence, Church in the Rock - all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I do love a bike tour. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteI love it! I am a fan of the dog----do you know is that a greyhound? So sweet. Fits the house!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure exactly, but yes, he's so sweet!
DeleteLooks great! Love the colours, so tired of white homes :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the colour has brightened up the start of my week!
DeleteSome tips around my neighbourhood:
ReplyDeleteCheck out Putinki (Korkeavuorenkatu 19) and Papershop (Fredrikinkatu 18) for lovely papergoods like cards, posters, notebooks etc.
When hunger strikes, try Alfons pizza (Vuorimiehenkatu 35) which has delicious spelt sourdough crusted Italian pizzas on offer. The Margharita is my favourite. Or if you're so inclined, there's a new healthy food cafe called Healthinki (Tehtaankatu 13).
And for properly good coffee, try Kaffa Roastery (Pursimiehenkatu 29A)!
I'm afraid not Miruska. I hope someone else on here can recommend a similar colour?
ReplyDeleteHi, found this on their instagram: NCS S 1515-R10B
ReplyDeleteI feel like my barefoot feet need to walk on that wood plank floor!
ReplyDeleteFor the best kanelbullar ever, go to Kafé Succés. It's in an gorgeous arty area of Helsinki, near to the embassies. The address is Korkeavuorenkatu 2, about 15 mins walk from Esplanaden. If you walk there, look up at all the beautiful buildings. Oh, and have it with a cafe au lair in a bowl.
ReplyDeleteBTW love the blog too!
I'm in Kafé Succés now enjoying my DELICIOUS cinnamon bun and bowl of café au lait - what a great tip, thank you! And thank you for your lovely words about my blog too :)
