A lovely Norwegian home in summertime

Summer's in full swing here in Scandinavia and there's nowhere I'd rather be ('there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing' - I hear in Finland it was 11 degrees yesterday - brrrrr!). One particular home in Norway is making full use of being in the land of  the glorious midnight sun. Photographer Elisabeth Heier, who's lovely home I've previously featured here, here and here (yes, I love her style), recently shared pictures of her terrace, ready for long suppers al fresco with family and friends. I love the delicate touches of wild summer flowers indoors too. Perfect inspiration for the weekend, don't you think?!

Oh so lovely! It's amazing what you a difference you can make with a handful of pretty wild flowers from the garden. 

Do you have a favourite flower?

Get the look from Elisabeth's home:

Terrace - Elisabeth laid the table on the terrace with Broste Copenhagen dinnerware, fresh white napkins, and flowers picked from the garden and arranged in little vases in various heights and shapes.

Bedroom - The back wall is painted in 1269 Demring (Lady Pure Color) from Jotun. Also featured -  milk lamp, beige stonewashed linen bedding, and Flowerpot lamp. Flower weave rug.

Front of stairs - marble table lamp.  Hallway - &tradition mass light (I also love this marble hanging light), Henrik Rasmussen vase.

Hallway - LIND DNA tray, Swing clothes hanger.

And before I head off, here's a little weekend link love:

I love the idea of designing a room around a painting (this is also a great example!). 

Go big (or go home) with botanicals this season. 

Two ways to see Italy - would you choose this or this?

This cute baby blanket has got over 35,000 repins on Pinterest (I can totally see why, can you?!)

That's the cake solved for Saturday afternoon tea (and Sunday)- nom nom nom!I'd need to recover on this Safari daybed / terrace afterwards - bliss!

And finally, the world's best beaches....just cos.

Have a wonderful weekend, see you Monday!

A Scandi-Inspired Home in The Czech Republic In Soothing Neutrals

Why, hello there, how are you today? I'm feeling a little bleary eyed. I think it's because my husband was away last night - and I always seem to sleep with one eye open when he's away, like I'm on night watch or something! Do you do the same?! Maybe I need a guard cat, one like Lucie's beautiful Ragdoll perhaps (seen keeping a watchful eye over the street above). Isn't he a handsome boy?! He looks right at home in this beautiful apartment North of Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Mind you, who wouldn't?! Owner Lucie curates the inspiring blog The Aesthetic Eye / @the.aesthetic.eye through which she shares regular snapshots of her pared-back living space which has been decorated in a soothing palette of ivory, beige and chestnut. She also has a keen eye for Scandi pieces (I spy Ljungby vases, a Kristina Dam table and Hay x IKEA wall shelf to name but a few!). A girl after our own heart! Enjoy the tour!

Ypperlig wall shelf (IKEA x HAY) - I tried to find this online but it seems to be out of stock / removed from the collection, can anyone advise?

Did you spot her cat taking a snooze? It took me several goes before I saw him!

Lucie tells me he's a little lazy, but looking at these pictures I reckon he's just super relaxed, who wouldn't be in this space?!

Is there anything that stood out to you?

Believe it or not, this is the first home from the Czech Republic I've ever featured on My Scandinavian Home, but I have a feeling it won't be the last! I am proud to announce however, that my Lagom book is available in Czech! See more language versions here.

For more soothing spaces today I can totally recommend taking a peek at a Norwegian house by a fjord, a serene japandi style home in West Norway and a beautiful airbnb rental in Bergen.

Sending Zen vibes your way!

Have a lovely day!
