Pretty in pink...and blue, and yellow....

Nothing brightens up my day like a little pastel. It just adds so much 'prettiness' to a room and at the same time makes a space look really calm. The Scandinavian design company, Muuto (meaning 'new perspective' in Finnish)  have teamed up with one of my incredibly talented neighbours from All the way to Paris and have created these wonderful pictures taken by Petra Bindel. I see that the some of the photo shoot took place in my neighbour's beautiful home which was sold recently. Sorry boys,  but there's no stopping pink this season.

You may have seen these pics before on other blogs, so sorry for any repition but so pretty no?

Don't mention the C word but...

Hej hej! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Do you know what I did? Bought my first Christmas present (eeek did I just mention the C word?!) - yes really! And I'm not even an organised person. I have a 4 and 2 year old and I promised myself not to have another December like the last one so this year I'm going to buy my pressies from online shops  - like my wonderful sponsors - L'Affiche Moderne  and LET LIV. And like the Sweden based Artilleriet, in case you need any encouragement, here are Artilleriet's inspiration images:

A show of hands for those who'd be happy to receive a present from this shop please?!

Do you have any great tips for some 'to cool for school' online Christmas shopping tips?

PS although I mentioned the C word I have made a vow to myself that I will not actually post any Christmas pictures until at least mid November - son don't worry!

PPS this is not a sponsored post  I just love the pretty pictures :)

Simple yet striking

A distinctly simple yet utterly striking Scandinavian apartment to celebrate the weekend. If you could choose one fabulous designer item from this home, what it would it be?
