'A pop of colour here and a vintage vibe there' is the best way to describe this very cool and relaxed apartment in Stockholm captured by
Fantastic Frank. I like the casual way the books have been stacked on the kitchen floor, the striking yellow
Mhy light, the decadent velvet armchair and the picture gallery wall. All in all, this space is just what I need on a Thursday - somewhere eclectic to kick-back and relax in style. Could you pad around here for the day?
I note that stylist
Mimmi has added two hot trends in interiors right now - an oil portrait. They're relatively difficult to find but I love the ones sold by
Three Potato Four and also the cool animal portraits by
Oldi (I have the
Lurcher one which has become a family favourite!). And antique chairs in velvet - how decadent to place a grand armchair in the kitchen - love it! (check out
LiveAuctioneers or
Lauritz for similar).
Seeing the stacked books has made me reflect on
my own sitting room. I love books and feel the space looks disturbingly void of reading material, don't you? This Christmas I'll be pouring over my Pinterest
storage board for ideas. One possibility is
String shelves (I love the latest
inspirational images they've released) and think they'll fit perfectly with my mid-century style. What do you think?
Lastly - today is a big day for me, it's the last day at my corporate job after 14 years in the industry! As of 1st Jaunary I'll be focusing full time on this blog - it's grown so much thanks to you all that I feel it's time to give it the attention it so deserves. Scary and exciting in equal measure! Here's to new and exciting adventures! And thank you all for your wonderful, ongoing encouragement and support.
Have a great day!
