Cupboard love

Check out this storage unit designed by Nicholai Wiig. And the good news? It's from IKEA! Below, the IKEA PS has been spray painted in four fabulous colours (see below for colour details). A project for the weekend perhaps?!

Oh and Happy Friday! Have a lovely weekend. See you Monday!

It's so wonderfully Autumnal. I particularly love the ochre oversized floor cushions and fluffy bed cushion. What do you think?

Hot home accessory: the bicycle

In scandinavia bikes are definitely the favourite mode of transport - even in the snow! But when you live in a small apartment and you want to keep your precious ride safe where to put it? The good news is bikes are definitely one of the 'hot' interior accessories du jour!....

What do you think? Crazy or lazy?! Hot or not?! The bike in the bedroom made me smile - are they going to have breakfast in bed and then hop on for work?! Either way, not sure I'd get that home styling passed my husband!

Turquoise and greens in a beautiful Swedish cottage kitchen

I love the kitchen of this summer cottage out in the Stockholm archepelegoes. Everything you see has a history from the shelving unit picked up in India to the lamp over the table which was a French flea market find.Turquoise and light greens are quickly becoming my favourite colours of the week, they are so beautiful against the white don't you think?
