A Swedish home with blue and mustard accents

Hejsan! As promised, I did actually accost my man as soon as he arrived home yesterday to show him the house that had come on the market (the subject of yesterday's post). He agreed that it was indeed perfection - although I don't think we're quite ready to our leave our home by the sea just yet! Guh! And I was already sipping cocktails by that plunge pool too! Onwards and upwards. Today's post brings with it new inspiration in the form of a lovely home in Gothenburg. The apartment occupies part of a house built in the 1930's and has been beautifully styled with mid-century and contemporary pieces, lots of lovely greenery and blue, cognac and mustard accents. Enjoy!

Such a lovely space don't you think? Love the touch of blue and mustard in particular - and the foliage over the bed!

How about you?

Get the look: sitting room - source a similar vintage mid-century arm chair here, this is a good place to pick up a small beni ourain rug. I love this blue armchair. Dining room - Series 7 chairs. Bedroom - pick up stonewashed grey linen bedding here and a mustard throw here.

Have a lovely day!

PS Thank you for your patience during the blog design update - I know there have been a few disturbances but I think we're almost there. Do give me a shout in the comment section below if you see anything strange - your feedback would be so helpful!

A 19th century Swedish home with an outdoor oasis

I'm curious - what would you say the best thing about summer is? For me, it's the time spent outdoors. I love how you can throw the doors and windows open in the morning and stride around barefoot all day. We have a very small backyard, which does the trick (on the whole) but when I spotted this Swedish home which went out on the market this week it was hard to not jump straight in the car and head over for a viewing! Located in Landskrona, here on the south west coast of Sweden, the late 19th century house belongs to designer and architect Robin Berkhuizen (if you don't already follow Robin on Instagram, you must!). The white property has been beautifully renovated to reveal original brickwork and beams while at the same time transforming the interior into the magnificent family home it is today. And just look at that outdoor oasis?!

Could you imagine living here? I think I need to have words with the man when he gets home!

You can see more pics of this magical home over on Robin's instagram feed and find out more information about the sale here.

Oh and on an entirely separate note - you may have noticed some changes going on around here with my blog design! I felt it was time for a subtle refresh and am working with the talented Ana Dagenaar of Blog Milk Design to give My Scandinavian Home a little bit of a face lift. There may be some disturbances over the next few days - but I hope it should all be up and running by the end of the week. Do let me know if you spot anything strange, you're missing anything or simply have a thought about the design you would like to share. I'm all ears! Thank you!

Have a lovely day!
