The inspiring dining area of an interior designer

Last month I paid a visit to my friend Genevieve Jorn's apartment in the heart of Malmö and had a great day photographing her sitting room (you may remember the post here). The area combines with a dining space where Gen, husband Kasper and daughter Olivia gather for family meals and sit and create thanks to the wonderful light. Although I have to admit, on the day I completely took over the space with my coffee, camera equipment and general clobber!). I did manage to clear it up just in time to snap these pictures though. As part of the wonderful monthly collaboration with one of my favourite Danish homeware brands - Nordal (I do love my job) Gen acquired the rather fabulous Pharmacy sideboard chest, which has proven to be a perfect place for all her family's bits and pieces. Oh, how we need one of these in our household, how about you?!

Such a lovely space! I love the warmth from the wood and the luscious plants too!

A magnificent family home in Amsterdam

Every now and again I stumble across a simply incredible home that fills me inspiration (and more than a little life envy!). This is one of them. Located near Vondelpark in the centre of Amsterdam, the family home is laid out over 240 square metre (2583 square foot) of loveliness. Think high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, vast open-plan living spaces and beautiful period features. Naturally, the family has amazing taste too, choosing to furnish the space with a wonderful combination of vintage and second hand finds, contemporary and ethnic pieces and a hint of colour in every corner! Oh and guess what? It could be yours. Yup. This beauty is for sale! Holland anyone?!

Find out more about this house here. Found via Style Files with thanks.

Be still my beating heart....

A fabulous home in the heart of a fabulous city.

Oh how I'd love to live here!

Could you imagine?

Just in case the house doesn't come with everything inside (or you're not quite ready to move overseas) - here's a quick guide on how to get the look in your own home: pick a beautiful kilm rug here, lampe gras wall light, keep an eye out for a vintage plan chest here, pick up an original Jielde zig-zag floor and desk lamp here. This origami mobile is similar. Safari chair.

I do love Dutch style, don't you? I've shown lots and lots of them on My Scandinavian Home over the years - all of which you can see here. Isn't the home in a former children's nursery particularly lovely?!

Have a great day! 

PS I'm heading into town on my bike now to meet a friend who I haven't seen for over 15 years - so excited!
