A cool girl's bedroom in green and dusty pink

As a mother of two little girls I'm always on the look out for beautiful children's room inspiration. I recently came across Julie's bedroom (designed by her Mummy, Eva of Le Petit Biscuit in the Netherlands) and felt immediately drawn to it. First, I'm a big fan of Ferm Living wall paper and have been thinking about this wallpaper for my little girls' room, and secondly I absolutely lovely the colour combination of mint green and pale pink.

I spy so many pieces I know and love inlcuding the brio oven, Muuto E27 light in light green, Ferm Living wallpaper, Muuto the dots hooks,  Eames DAR chair (15% off with MYSCAN), and pom poms. What a lovely room don't you think? If you'd like to see more visit eeflillemor on instagram.

Other favourite children's rooms I've seen include this, this and this one. *sigh* I need to get decorating!

For lots more fab children's items my sponsor Smallable has a fab selection of children's clothes, homeware and toys.

What colours have you decorated / would you decorate a children's room in?

Swedish apartment with a mid-century touch

This is a perfect home to brighten up a dreary Monday in February with it's bold colours and patterns and cool prints.  I love the way the home has been designed to maximise the use of space too, for example the hall double's up as a work space and the area between two doors has been used to hang children's coats. It's fun, slightly quirky and very cool, I like it! How about you?

What do like most about this family apartment?

I spy: the Vitra Panton chair (15% discount with code MYSCAN), the Magis Puppy Chair in the children's bedroom, the Rosendahl Arne Jacobsen Bankers Clock is similar to the wall clock. A vintage PH5 pendant lamp (try Lauritz). The Artichoke Suspension light is similar to the one they have over the dining table.

For other apartments with a mid-century touch try this fab house owned by a stylist and fashion photographer, the very cool Row House and this Dalarna home which takes mid-century to a whole new level!

Have a lovely start to the week!

A lovely white and grey Stockholm home

This Stockholm home was once beautifully captured by Patric Johansson for Elle Interiör (as shown in a former post by Anna Gillar here). It's now for sale. One of the key things I noticed is the wall painted in two tones in the kitchen dining area, it's extremely subtle but makes a big difference to the room don't you think? I also love the striped cushions on the sofa (it seems stripes are everywhere again this year too, did you see this fab bedding the other day?) and of course I'm a big fan of white and grey. What do you like the most about this home?

It's been styled for sale so the style is very clean here. But when you look back at the pictures Patric took it looks very cosy.

Other white and grey homes I love include this, this and this one.

Speaking of home shoots, a photographer is coming to shoot my home in a few weeks time - so much to do still eeeek! But very exciting. More to follow soon.

I hope you have a very lovely St Valentine's Day and a wonderful weekend!

PS As regular followers know I'm currently travelling in Thailand with my family for four weeks which is so wonderful! Thank you so much to Hanna, a fellow Malmö blogger, for covering for me yesterday, The wifi hasn't always been great so it's been so helpful to have some fantastic guest bloggers along the way.

See you Monday!

Guest post: a mid-century modern Swedish home

Hi, I'm Hanna of the blog Doyoufancythis.com and today I will be guest blogging for My Scandinavian Home. I must say it is such a delight to research and choose the right homes and features for you to see. Since my last guest post for Niki was on a more trendy, yet sophisticated home I thought I would show you something completely different.

This midcentury modern house, located in Ronneby, Blekinge, Sweden was built in 1965 and shares several ideas on how to make a modern sixties house feel quite classical. Take a special look at the serene shades of light grey, dusky blue, white with black details and a surprising pop of orange, the lighting and lamps (I spot several design classics) and the photo art. What do you think?

Beautifully simple Parisian apartment

Sometimes it's the simple things in life which are the most beautiful. This Parisian home photographed by  Mikkel Russel for Interior Magasinet Norway, is one of those spaces. It belongs to lawyer Caroline Delaudes who arrives home after a hectic day at work to a calm oasis decorated in muted colours and carefully selected vintage pieces against beautiful original wood flooring. Just add music!

Such a beautiful home don't you think?

The dining chairs are simply stunning. For furniture like this I usually turn to the auction site Lauritz.

This summer my sister is getting married in France and we're hoping to stay in Paris for a few days. I would love to find somewhere like this as our base, does anyone have any tips?

Merci!

Splashes of yellow with pretty pastels

There's no denying that Muuto is one of my favourite Nordic brands. They are always spot on with the latest trends, and I love the designs and colours. This selection of images were styled for Muuto by my neighbour's company All The Way To Paris (ATWTP) (you can see my neighbour Petra's beautiful former home here). I'd like a new house just so that I can buy the huge pink Muuto sofa (do you think my husband would agree to that?!).

For more pastel inspiration you could try my 'decorating with pastels label'....I love pale pink with yellow it's such a great way to update the home for spring don't you think?

For other homes with splashes of yellow (the colour de jour it seems) you might want to check out this and this home.

Would you dare go for a bold sofa?

Have a lovely day!

A wonderful white and wood holiday home

I hope you had a lovely weekend? If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know one of my long term dream is to buy and do up a summer cottage by a lake in Sweden (do you share a similar dream?). My moodboards for this dream home are endless but once thing's for sure, I'll be adding this home. Designed by Frag Woodall, the concept is basic, drawing on natural materials and light and keeping to a simple palette of black, white and wood.

This wood and white combination is perfect for a summer home don't you think? The 'basket' in the corner of the room is made from Marimekko fabric. I love the striped bedding too- any idea where it's from?

But there's a twist. Interestingly this is actually an apartment in Sydney which has been designed to look like a holiday home. There's hope for us all yet! Thank you for the info Jessica at Nordic Space.

For more weekend retreat / holiday inspiration I am loving these homes (warning: could take you a good hour to scroll through them all - this home will come up first but just go on passed it).

Have a lovely Monday and see you tomorrow!

I do love to come across homes from here in Southern Sweden. This one is currently for sale through Bo-laget (come and join the Malmö massive!). Decorated in monochrome tones the apartment is a real case of spot the designer piece....with a few real favourites of mine too!

Bo-laget via 79 ideas

I spy the Eames DSR chairs in black (15% off with MYSCAN), Wishbone chair, Tom Dixon bronze copper Shade light, Knoll diamond armchair (both on sale! :)

The apartment itself has beautiful bones, and although I live in a house I often dream about moving into one of the beautiful old apartments inthe centre of town (is the grass always greener?!).

A splash of yellow in a Skåne home

Thank you so much to Dagny for sharing her office in yesterday's guest post. Moving from Iceland to Sweden for today's post, here's a house from our home county of Skåne (Fladie to be precise!). This family home currently for sale is a perfect blend of white, exposed brick and industrial with a few Scandinavian design classics and the odd pop of sunny yellow.

Bo Center

Such a great combination, I could live here, could you?

I spy the Eames DAR chairs (15% off with code MYSCAN), the yellow bumling light and Knoll Diamond chair.

I do love a splash of yellow, it's such a happy colour. See other perfect examples of how yellow can add a ray of sun to a home here.

Do you have any yellow in your home?
