A lovely Swedish studio / outhouse in 25m2

Hello! Sorry for the radio silence yesterday! Photo shoot done and dusted and I'm happy to be back home tapping away on my laptop in the garden! One day I dream of having an outside space large enough to build a little outhouse to use as a studio, or simply to sit back and drink tea in all day (now wouldn't that be lovely?). Swedish interior designer Pella Hedeby has recently built a white clapboard studio in her garden. And just like her wonderful home, the space is pared back with a monochrome scheme. Wood and cork adds warmth to the over all look and feel, and there's even a loft bed for those afternoon siestas....all in 25 square metres (269 square feet). Inspiring or what?!

Could you imagine having somewhere like this to retreat to at the end of your garden? I love how it can be used as a guest house too....

A few items I know from Pella's studio:  cork stool, pick up a vintage stool here (I love this one!), wishbone chair, By lassen candleholder, Japanese cast iron teapot, Gotland sheepskin throw, white linen bedding.

See more pics or Pella's studio here. You can keep up to date with all of Pella's lovely styling work over on instagram or her blog. 

Other of my favourites include a garden shed converted into a charming little home, and a caravan used as an outhouse.

Have a wonderful day!

Artilleriet studio in rich dark tones and light pink accents

Popping in early morning before today's photo shoot to share these lovely images from the new Artilleriet studio snapped by one of my favourite Swedish bloggers Johanna Bradford. For those of you not familiar with it,  Artilleriet is a fab interior store in Gothenburg. The studio has been created as part of their 5 year celebrations. I must plan a visit as soon as possible (road trip anyone?!). In the meantime - we can take inspiration from their studio with it's rich dark colours and soft pink accents. So lovely?!

Beautiful! Don't you think?

All the items you see are available Artilleriet - including those wonderful Le Pipe chairs around the table (I feel I need these in my life!).

I'd actually promised myself to take a few days of blogging to focus on my my project this week (go, go, go!) but it's so hard to keep away  -  if I don't manage to post tomorrow I'll be back on Thursday.

Have a fab day!

PS this post isn't sponsored (I always mark them when they are) - I just loved the look of the space!

Harmony and balance in a Swedish home with green accents

Green is known for balancing mental, emotional and physical energies (which is why it feels so great to walk in the countryside). This lovely Swedish home combines calming sage green and grey for a wonderful sense of harmony and balance. Imagine coming back here after a hectic day? It's like a true oasis in the heart of the city. Just what I need after a very long day on location here in Copenhagen!

 ......And relax!

A few items I know and love: this shop sells lovely linen bedding, grey pouf, butterfly chair (beautiful!). Try here for vintage suitcases. These boxing gloves. Rustic stool and vintage crates.

For a very, very light grey floor (or 'grey-white') floor I like 'Strong White' paint (which I've used on my bedroom floor). 

Other homes with a hint of calming green include this, this and this one.

I'll be on a photo shoot over the next couple of days without a minute to spare so I'm afaid I won't be posting again until Thursday.  Have a relaxed start to the week and see you then!

PS - where I'd rather be this morning....(beautiful feed for anyone who's getting married!). 

PPS I was excited to see an interview with me popping up in a Swedish newspaper over the weekend.
