The Apartment, Copenhagen

An exciting invite plopped into my mail box last week to attend a preview of the Sarah Becker exhibition at The Apartment. For those of you are unfamiliar with the concept, The Apartment was founded by Tina Seidenfaden Busck and Pernille Hornhauer and exhibits 20th century funriture, contemporary art and design in the setting of an 18th century apartment in the heart of Copenhagen. Here are some pictures of the forever changing space which is slightly more flamboyant than the usual Danish style we are used to seeing but nevertheless beautiful.

The Apartment

What do you think of the space, does it reflect your personal style?

Unfortunately I couldn't make the preview as I was rushing off to London, but the exhbition is on until May 8th for anyone who's interested.

I'm heading home today and sooooo looking forward to seeing my little family! Thank you London for a wonderful stay, you'll always be my favourite!!

Have a lovely day!

PPS Excuse the layout changes this evening - we are just trying to figure out a slightly new and improved layout and it's a bit of a work in progress!

Keeping it simple in white and wood

This apartment is great inspiration for someone who likes to keep it clean, or is simply a little colour shy. The white and wood theme is so relaxed and warm in this Swedish apartment for sale through Fantastic Frank.

I think my favourite picture is the last one thanks to the beautiful Swedish 'kakelugn' in the corner and the pretty collection of glass bottles used as candle holders on a perspex side table - clever!

What about you? Could you do white and wood?

Sorry if you had a few problems entering the give-away yesterday (there was a technical problem for a few hours and me and technical don't mix very well!). The problem is solved so if you'd like to enter to win a fab Vitra L'oiseau worth 100 euros stop by here, I'd love you to join in the fun!

I hope you have a lovely day (20 degrees and sunny here in London - now that's more like it!), let's hope I take it back with me to Sweden tomorrow.....

Bright, breezy and perfectly styled in Stockholm

Bright, airy and breezy and beautifully styled. This Östermalm, Stockholm apartment on the market through Alexander White is the perfect way to start the week!

 

Alexander White via Stil Inspiraton

Favourite items? Mine is the the beautiful leather chesterfield and the vintage fan. Incidentally, our new bedroom is at the top of the house and gets extremely hot in the summer - perfect excuse to invest in a vintage fan - any tips on where to source one?

I'm currently in London (my home city!) for a few days. I love being back, it's such a fab city in the spring time. Yesterday I spent a day in London fields, East London home of the Columbia Road Flower Market and a great local pub!

Did you get up to anything fun?

PS Tomorrow I'll be hosting a very exciting give-away so don't forget to stop by for your chance to win!

My favourite things: the portrait painting in the hallway and the bright, sunny, yellow eames chair! Yours?
