Inspiration from a lovely Swedish home in white

Hello! I'm trying to write this post with one foot raised in the air, no easy feat I can tell you! You may remember a few weeks back I snapped my achilles tendon half off (ouch) and now I have to wear this boot for 8 weeks! I can only describe it as doing everything with one ski boot on - photo shoots, writing my book, errands, even sleeping (if ever there was an excuse for apres ski!)! And I've been told to keep it raised to reduce the swelling too - needless to say things are running a little slower than usual. But it has given me the excuse for lots of time lounging in my window nook (every cloud... as they say!). I noticed that when styling this lovely home in Gothenburg, Emma Fischer has also gone for the Söderhamn series - but opted for three in a row to make a luxuriously deep sofa.  What a great idea! In fact, I think I need something like this in my own home. The rest of the apartment is pretty nice too, don't you think?

I do love that sitting room! The white, all the plants.... even the TV looks good! Could you imagine lazing around there?

Get the look: sitting room: Söderhamn sofa series, Z1 pendant light (same as in my bedroom), Round chair, this round mirror is similar. hallway: Swedish Hasbeen sandals. Balcony: House of Rym sells beautiful cushions.

Have a lovely day!

A romantic holiday home in the South of France

Hej hej! How was your weekend? It sort of went passed in a blur didn't it? Here in Sweden we're zooming towards the summer holidays and many children are breaking up this week (mine included). Aaagh! I'm nowhere near ready! Even so, I can't stop dreaming about the impending care-free days  and enjoying a slower pace. Plus, I have a long list of holiday homes up my sleeve. One such place is Cammellas Lloret. You may recognise this beautiful maison d'hôte in Carcassonne, South of France from this feature. Understandably, I couldn't resist sharing a few more snapshots of this beautiful space captured by Julie Pointer Adams. Could you imagine spending your holiday there too?!

Doesn't it look so romantic? Owners Annie and Colin Moore have done such a great job delicately restoring it. It remains as though it's been completely untouched by the hands of time. Beautiful. 

Find out more about how to book a room at the timeless Cammellas Lloret here.

It's always great to get in touch with photographers and this time I was especially excited to see that the shutterbug behind these shots,  Julie Pointer Adams, has released a new book - Wabi-Sabi Welcome - learn to embrace the imperfect and entertain with throughtfulness and ease - definitely my type of entertaining,  I must get my hands on a copy right away! Does this appeal to you too?

Have a great start to the week!
