To follow up this little blog post here's a little home tour in a beautiful Göteborg apartment. Hope you enjoy and talk to you soon!

Finnish inspiration

Some light inspiration from Finnish brand Iittala today who have branched out into the world of interiors and launched a new storage system and light for spring / summer. I love the clean lines and the way the spaces have been styled around the products.

What do you think of these new pieces? Do you own any Iittala glasswear?

I had a great time in Copenhagen yesterday evening visiting the new Muuto headquarters. We got to see the latest Muuto collection and meet some of the talented designers behind it. We also enjoyed hot dogs and champagne on their roof terrace! I can't wait to get my photos sorted so I can show you some of their latest collection, it's all very exciting (you can buy fab items from Muuto here). Afterwards I went to Tivoli Gardens and went on some of the scariest rides I've ever been on eeeeeek! It was so much fun though! Have you been to a funfair lately?

It's Midsummer in Sweden tomorrow so I'll be off to dance around a May Pole with my family! I hope you all have a wonderful Midsummer and see you Monday!

A fab mid-century home in Berlin

A mid-century treat today with this incredible 1957 bungalow 'atriumhaus' in the middle of Tiergarten Park, Berlin. It's been a while since I posted a home in this style, I don't know why as I'm a big fan of mid century and have nicked more than a few mid-century Scandinavian pieces from my generous parents in law's attics (coffee table here, drinks trolley here!).

What's your take on mid-century? Is this your kind of home?

I am heading off to Copenhagen this afternoon to attend an event hosted by one of my favourite Scandinavian brands, Muuto. Very exciting! I'll have to fill you in once back over the bridge.

I hope you all have a lovely day!

A stunning skåne home

Hello! I'm so excited to share this home with you today! It belongs to Josephine Ekström who owns the beautiful shop Lily & Oscar in my Father-in-law's home town of Höganäs here in Skåne, South Sweden. Her home, which was formerly a general store, is a true reflection of the type of items she sells in her shop - beautiful unique pieces with a vintage or antique touch. Truly lovely space.

The style of this home is right up my street, how about you? I think my favourite space (although it's extremely hard to choose) is the hallway with the stunning tiled floor. I also love the wood rafters against the white in the bedroom and sitting room.

Do you have a favourite room or feature?

A beautifully renovated Swedish farmhouse

This beautiful turn of the century Dalarna farmhouse was the childhood home of  Swedish photographer Helena Blom. Thirteen years ago Helena and her husband Göran returned with their children Elliot and Emma. Since then they have lovingly restored the home. It was important to Helena that the features which make an old house so charming such as the uneven hardwood floor, creaky staircase, beautiful fireplace and wood stove remained intact while the home is updated to reflect modern family life.

What a beautiful home! I think my favourite room has to be the sitting room with it's wonderful white floors, wood burning stove and wood beams (and saddle of course!).

What do you love about this home?

A fantastic Berlin home

It's Friday, yaaaay! To polish off an inspiring week of home tours I thought I'd share this extremely fabulous home in Berlin with you. Found via the wonderful blog 79 ideas and published here with kind permission from the photographer Stefan Wolf Lucks and the architect Karhard, this home which is made up of two apartments merged together is teeming with some of my favourite Scandinavian pieces. I also love the way the rooms have been divided up (painted rustic wood wall anyone?!). What a great home!

Photography: Stefan Wolf Lucks. Architects: Karhard, Colour & Concept: S.Wert and MV Stein

I spy a whole host of Scandinavian designer chairs: Eames DSR side chairs, Vitra wire chair DKR, and Aluminium Group EA chair around the dining table and the Plywood Group DCW chair and the red and white Panton Chair  (15% off with code MYSCAN!). What a collection!

If I had to choose one thing I love the most about this home (apart from the beautiful light and airy space) it would have to be the colours in the bedroom; the dark green with the red and orange. Such a pretty combination.

What about you?

So, now it's time for the weekend! We're just going to hang out this weekend and (hopefully) enjoy the sunshine. I might even brave the sea (18C Brrrr!). What are you up to?

A happy home in Malmö

Yesterday I showed the happy home of Elina Dahl and today I was really inspired to come across another happy home, here in Malmö (oh yes, this is turning into one happy week!). The amount of TLC that Klara Ripa has put into her former family home here in Malmö is quite incredible, there isn't a single item left untouched, she has put her personal stamp on everything. So inspiring!

Photography: Jenny Brandt of Dos Family 

This apartment is very different from the style I usually show on here but it really makes me smile. I love the kitchen with it's bright colours (yellow radiator and pipes? But of course!),the handmade paper garlands in the sitting room, the fantastic bold and bright children's room and also the little red chest of drawers with handmade beaded handles, it's made me look around my iwn home to see what I can do with what I have already.

I love the way it's been photographed by Dos Family too (you can see more pictures here).

What do you think?

PS if you feel inspired by the cute kids clothing here, check out the super cool children's clothes over at online shop Loja Dada  :) there's a sale on too!
