Industrial 1920s warehouse with vintage finds

Happy Friday! Here in Sweden it's a bank holiday. YAAAY! But I am still thinking about work as I love this 1920's warehouse in Hackney, London, which is available to hire for shoots, exhibitions, parties etc through JJ Locations. OK, it's very minimalistic but could you imagine padding around here for the day with a production team? I particularly like the contrast between the dainty antique chairs and the vast industrial backdrop.

Black, white with a touch of yellow Swedish home

Hello and happy Friday! I wanted to share this fascinating home with you. I like lots of things about this space. The pops of yellow that break up the black and white, all the different textures used on the walls. And the eclectic mix of furniture ranging from modern IKEA and industrial style to and mid-century. Very lovely.

I love the gallery of Therese Sennerholt prints in the third picture. My husband gave me the 'sweet dreams are made of you' Therese Sennerholt print for Christmas last year and it has prime place on my gallery wall. I love it! Latté time  :)

Shopping for vintage - industrial

Wonderful vintage-industrial home furniture is not always easy to find. But I looooove Etsy and always find beautiful things on there. My favourite Etsy shop of the day is Rough South Home. Here's my pick...

Industrial lights

Steel splashback

I particularly like their steel steel splash back - which you could use to create a similar feel to the lovely kitchen in this picture below from the Varberg home I posted a few weeks ago.

Swedish home teeming with flea market finds

Morning! I'm a bit bleary eyed as I've just got back from stunning and vibrant Cape Town, South Africa. It was such a creative city, brimming with inspiration. The interior style vibe is similar to Scandinavia with natural materials, white walls and flashes of bright colours. This Swedish home from Sköna Hem seemed a very apt nod to my trip. I love all the flea market finds, the industrial lighting and tourquoise and white bedroom.

Ullis - the wonderful guest blogger from Friday has industrial lights like these which she found at a flea market in Malmö, Sweden. Try Etsy. Painting wooden floors to create a harlequin effect has become the kitchen floor du jour in Sweden and Norway. 

Such a great idea to take all the pages from an old 'biology' book and create a wall piece, I think it looks really lovely.

You can find large letters like these at the Old Cinema in London. Again, try Etsy for industrial lighting.

And now....I'm going to scour the web for pictures of beautiful South African homes. It will keep me away from the temptation of publishing lovely Christmassy homes...is it to early for that...or not? I love Christmas but am worried that once I get started I won't be able to stop!

Ta da for now!

Pops of green in a Skåne home

Morning all! My week's been brightened up by these pics of a turn of the century house in Landskrona, right here in Skåne, Sweden. I love the pops of green and the birdy print in the bedroom. Thank you Hus o Hem!

The reading lamp is Arne Jacobsen. The lovely brown throw and ceramic bowl are from one of my favourite shops here in Skåne - Udda Tina.

The lovely bright tins used to store toys are from the carnival Lundakarnevalen  

The chest of drawers was found in the basement and painted grass green

I love the green in the children's bedroom. According to GharExpert  green adds freshness, peace and increases brain power. That's me sold! You?! For more images visit Swedish magazine Hus o Hem.

Why buy new when you can buy old?

These were the sentiments of the homeowners of this beautiful Danish villa in Amager, Copenhagen.

Love the look?! Source vintage Tolix industrial chairs and stools. Consider the IKEA Norden table from IKEA and paint it light blue. Buy the Ektorp Jennylund Armchair in Blekinge white from IKEA.
