A cosy, yet elegant home in Krakow

While yesterday's home was beautiful in all it's muted, monochrome glory, the deep, rich blues and emerald greens in this home in Krakow, Poland pose a more intimate, elegant feel. Designed by Odwzorowanie (which incidentally, is also a great source for the most fabulous vintage items  - just saying) - the apartment features original parquet flooring and shiny new patterned tiles which set the scene for an array of wonderful items - including art, books, textiles and lighting which combine to create a lovely, relaxed feel. What a fabulous space?!

Could you imagine living here?

I love so many things about the space but my eye's particularly drawn to the cosy living room and the wallpaper in the hallway (I'd love to know where it's from - give me a shout if you know!)  - how about you?

Here's a quick guide on how to achieve this look: sitting room -source a similar kilim cushion / pillow here, banana fiber ALSEDA pouf, seagrass belly basket, I love this hanging chair. Kitchen / dining room - Eames chairs. Bedroom - sinnerlig pendant light, Globe Mobile.

I was thinking that this Polish home is an all time first here on My Scandinavian Home - but a quick check in the archives and I found this beautiful white home of a designer  - also located just across the Baltic sea!

Have a lovely day!

A beautiful country home in Värmland, Sweden

Well hello there! It's been a while? I hope you're great? I'm feeling all happy and relaxed after two weeks in the USA - which included a NYC and a wonderful tour of Long Island (two things:  If you go to NYC take some time out to visit Montauk (fellow fans of 'The Affair' - the Lobster Roll exists!) - but above all else, visit the North Fork for farm shops, antiques, rosé tasting at Croteaux Vineyards and the best slow coffee ever at North Fork Roasting Co). As the Swedish proverb goes 'borta bra, men hemma bäst' (away is good, but home is best!) and it's great to be back in South Sweden too.  I was especially excited to stumble across the wonderful instagram feed of Therese Johansen via Trendenser blog this morning (thank you for the tip Frida!) and couldn't resist sharing a few of the lovely pictures of her home in Värmland, Sweden. Think modern-country style with a muted colour palette and lots of interesting details (how fab are the old windows?). Enjoy....

Oj oj oj - what a beautiful home?!

I particularly love all the displays, plants, and linens. Is there anything that stands out to you?

A few items I know and love from Therese's home: sitting room - the sofa looks like it's been draped with white linen  - or try Bemz for linen covers designed to fit IKEA sofas. Source a black and white Moroccan blanket with pom poms here. The Z1 lamp by Ay Illuminate is similar. Vases by Ernst. The Poster Club sells many of the prints seen on the gallery wall. Second living area - this round mirror is similar, Octopus candleholder, The Kinfolk Home and The Kinfolk Table books. Kitchen - Menu chairs. Bedroom - dark grey linen duvet colour and pillow case.

You can see more of Therese's home and follow her latest projects over on Instagram here. 

Have a great start to the week!

PS the down side of going to far away places? Waking up at 2am and not being able to get back to sleep. Siesta time!!
