Have yourself a very Scandi Christmas

Yes... I just mentioned the C word and it's only early November, eeeeeek! I love this time of year and come December my home will be festooned with pretty decorations and cosy touches. And this week I made an exciting discovery in the form of NOORVERK. For those of you not familiar with the Danish online store, NOORVERK is a global marketplace dedicated to handmade items by Nordic designers, artists, craftsmen and DIY creatives (sounds almost too good to be true). As you can guess, all the items are unique, high quality, sustainable and of course beautifully simple. I've got my eye on these Christmas tree decorations by Tine Schjelde Møberg and Janne Rosendal...

So lovely, don't you think?

You can find all these items under the NOORVERK Christmas page, or in order of appearance: a selection by Janne Rosendal, paper stars earth collection, leather stag nature, leather reindeer black, xmas bell nature, wooden xmas ball, leather snowflake black, xmas balls laser cut veneer.

If you love these you'll also like all the other items on the site - I've got my eye on some of the bags & purses and home & living section. This could be dangerous!

Anything catch your eye? 

Enjoy!

This post is in collaboration with NOORVERK. All words are my own and I only work with brands I love and think you will too.

The happy home of artist Kate Schelter

It's Friiiiiiday - wooohooooo! Definitely calls for a celebration - don't you think?! This family loft in Manhattan is an absolutely perfect home tour to welcome in the weekend! It's bright and cheerful, with quirky touches, pops of vibrant pink, green and red and bursting with pattern and lovely art. Owned by American artist, illustrator, creative director and stylist Kate Schelter, her husband Chris Schumacher and their two year old daughter, Charlotte, the happy home is also full of small details, making it truly personal. Let's take a tour....

This loft has really brought a smile to my face, how about you?!

Get the look from Kate's wonderful home: sitting room - a lot of the watercolours are by Kate,  dalmation print cushion (love this!) Beni Ourain rug, bedroom: canopy and bedding (I also love this quilt cover). Children's bedroom: stokke cot / crib. 

You can see more pictures and a write-up about Kate's lovely home over at Domino here. 

Other homes I've featured from America's east coast include this creative home and studio of a creative duo, the relaxed home of a fashion designer and a laid back Brooklyn apartment. Oh so lovely. Do you have a favourite?

We're heading back to Sweden today  - time to wrap up again. BRRRRR. Thank you London for an amazing week, we'll be back! And I'll be back blogging daily again next week too.

Have a wonderful weekend!

A lovely Swedish home with a blue accent wall

Why, hello there! I thought I'd stop by to share this lovely Swedish apartment in Gothenburg with you. The space has been made extra special by the addition of a few unique, vintage pieces (that desk!), a wonderful bird print (anyone know where this is from?), a surprising way to hang a plant on the wall and a fab, dramatic blue accent wall in the bedroom. What a perfect tour for some much needed mid-week Scandinavian interior inspiration, don't you think?!

Calm, elegant and unique. What's not to love?

A few pieces I like from this Swedish home: office space - this is a good source for a rattan armchair. Dining area - Bentwood chairs, natural linen tablecloth, Gubi semi pendant light. Bedroom - Bestlite wall lamp, linen bedding. Try samples from Farrow & Ball to achieve a similar wall colour.

Is there anything that stands out to you?

Have a lovely day!
