A fab monochrome Swedish space

Hello Monday! This home is simply lovely, I'm not sure how the Swedish owners can bare to part with it...but part with it they are! I can't decide if it's the French balcony off the bedroom (how lovely to have linen curtains blowing in the breeze?), the light-filled dining room or the dressing room...either way, it's a beautiful space. Sweden anyone?! 

Entrance

What do you reckon, could you live here?

So many items I know and love: Dining room: Thonet chairs / Scarlett Johansson print / black sheep skin. Bedroom: Rug / this clothes rail is similar . Sitting room: Print. Kitchen: vase / chopping board.

Aubergine  coloured drapes have become a popular choice for the bedroom (also seen in this and this bedroom). It's a wonderful way of breaking up the white / light grey of the walls. Although I'm still a little biased towards sheer curtains which catch the light (as seen in the serene home of a Swedish singer). A subtle white black-out blind tucked behind can do the trick to block out early morning light.

More pics of this space here (including a tour of the dressing room). I also love this walk-in wardrobe - one to add to my Pinterest board - for that day when...

Have a lovely day!

The serene white home of a designer

Hello Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend? My family are over visiting and Sweden's pulled out all the stops on the weather front (finally!) so we've been doing what we love most - spending time on the water, swimming and sailing, it's hard to believe that in four months time the Öresund could be iced over (eeeek let's not talk about it!). Today, I'm feeling inspired by this beautiful summery home across the Baltic in Poland. Located in Szczecin, designer Jacek Kolasinski has kept the palette an almost entirely serene white and filled the centuries old family home with lovel Scandinavian classics. The terrace is beautiful too. Perfect, calm inspiration to start the week...

Photography: Karolina Bak -shared with kind permission.  Post inspired by Vosges Paris / Remodelista with thanks.

Aaaah, I do love white, perhaps I couldn't go for the full white look in my own home as I do love to mess it up a little, but it doesn't mean I can't drool over the look in others'  homes- it's just so serene! How do you feel about all white?

The white Caravaggio pendant light and Concert lights are subtle yet beautiful. I also loved the touches of natural wood (that side-table in the garden!), rattan and the mid-century items- they really pop out against the white backdrop.

More dreamy white homes here, here and here (this Finnish one is a favourite...). 

Have a lovely day!

Lovely pics from the home of a Swedish stylist

Earlier this week I showed some pics of Swedish stylist Pella Hedeby's lovely new home (oh how I wish I was lying on that daybed right now...). And then today I was browsing through Pinterest (in the name of work...of course!) and was excited to discover yet more stunning shots from her previous home captured by Sofi Sykfont. That girl has style....

It seems, whatever Pella touches turns to gold - wouldn't you agree?!

See more pics of this lovely home here. 

I must admit, I'm feeling the stress today. My book deadline is looming and I've got guests arriving from London tonight (excited too!).  Even so, I still wanted to pop in to share this lovely home and say hi and also thank you all for your wonderful support and encouragement!  

I'll love you and leave you with links to a few of my favoruite homes including the danish home of Dorthe Kvist,  a lovely light filled Swedish family home and a helsinki penthouse with a romantic touch. Ah so beautiful, makes me feel calmer just looking at them!

I'll be back after the weekend, I hope you have a wonderful few days!
