The Hepworth Limited Print Collection by Atelier by Mintstudio

The fab Danish 'Atelier by Mintstudio' designs two annual collections of limited edition prints. Led by head designer Cecilie Svanberg, the latest collection pays homage to British artist and sculptor, Barbara Hepworth, a pioneer who broke into the artistic scene when only a few women had made an impression. Barbara was famous for her organic and simple use of shapes, textures and colors. Each (rather lovely) signed and numbered print is made from an original painting with watercolor, gouache and acrylic paint, then printed on Munken Rough 170 gr paper. The question is, which one to choose? Look out for the prints (and frames) at The Poster Club!

Snapshots From A Charming Swedish Family Home

Hallå! It's been an early start for Per and I today as we needed to come up to the cottage to take some measurements for the kitchen renovation. It feels like the rest of Sweden are still asleep after yesterday's Valborg celebrations (more about this at the end of yesterday's post)! Perhaps we should all tread lightly in today's home tour, just in case?! The pretty home belongs to Emma Johansson, a freelance writer and photographer and the creative behind @whatdecoratesmyday, her sambo (live in partner) and two young children. Located in central Stockholm, the living space is a beautiful mix of vintage classics, antiques and contemporary items - and plants and flowers are never far away. Välkommen in!

A Söderhamn sofa from IKEA has been covered in a Bemz loose fit white linen cover for a relaxed touch. I know many panic at the thought of a white cover with children around, but the beauty of removable covers is that they can just be thrown in the wash. I bet that fluffy brown rug feels so cosy under foot too, don't you?! 

Love the climbing plant, it really adds to the space (see my guide here) -mind you with those windows to play with..... 

I wish I had a bigger picture of Emma's room as it looks so pretty! But just from this snapshot you can at least get an idea of the details - which include a Natalia rattan headboard, little antique side table  (customised with a concrete surface) and a cosy dark grey wall. 

The children's room is equally charming - from the vintage cast iron bed* and moroccan carpet (this is a great source*) to the wallpaper (by Hanna Wendelbo) and little alcove. How I would have loved this room as a child, how about you?!

Although these are all slightly more 'pulled-in' images, I hope you can still get a sense of the beauty of Emma's home - and get some ideas for your own home! 

If you'd like to see a little more, it's worth checking out Emma's lovely instagram and blog. 

Right (*slaps thighs*), I'd better get on with that kitchen measuring - in the meantime, I'll love you and leave you with these beautiful homes:

A vintage style Swedish home full of soul

Oh so lovely, don't you think?

Ha det så fint!

An elegant Malmö home with Shades of Green, Ochre and Red

I'm all settled in my studio today and it's one of those bitterly cold February days - so I'm not planning on going anywhere! It makes sense therefore, to feature a home right here in the heart of Malmö! 

I have driven past this apartment a thousand times, unbeknown to me that there was an elegant space filled with art, concealed just behind the facade! 

Despite the large spacious rooms and beautiful bones it was actually the choice of furniture that stood out to me - a blend of contemporary finds and the occasional vintage piece as well as the deep earthy tones including forest green, red, ochre and slate - adding. contrast and cosiness. 

All it needs now is for someone to take over the reigns and make it their new home. Could that be you? 

Did you spot the projector on the wall in the first picture? I can't tell if the owners have made a box to conceal it themselves, or it was bought like this (I'm thinking the former), either way it's so subtle - way better than a big TV screen, don't you think? 

Is there anything that popped out at you?

Have a lovely day folks - stay warm!

10 fab ways to decorate your home with clothes

It's no secret that us girls love a walk-in-wardrobe. But sadly for men, clothes are creeping into the bedroom and acting as the latest wall space accessory too. From necklaces and dresses to shoes and bags, it's the walking-wardrobe. And I love it.

House to Home

Adler & Co by A Merry Mishap

I love so many of these ideas. The layers of IKEA mirrors. Using cornicing as shoe holders - perfect. The motorbike sure beats a chair to throw all discarded clothes over or? How far would you go? Sometimes less is more perhaps, it just depends on how fab your wardrobe is!

PS I've hoarded all these pics in Pinterest have done my best to credit but unfortunately not all roads to lead to Rome so if you can give any tips on original publishing house / photographer / stylist I'd be sooo happy. Tack tack!

The relaxed, vintage inspired home of an artist

Why, hello there! I hope you had a wonderful weekend?! While photographing (some beeeeautiful) homes for my book a few weeks back it struck me that they were almost entirely filled with one-off pieces - picked up on travels or found in flea markets, which made the spaces truly special.  I stumbled across this lovely creative home on Apartment Therapy captured by Natalie Jeffcott the other day and it too, is filled with a unique array of treasures, all of which come together simply because the owners Ben and artist Heidi Yardley love them. Situated in a converted stable at the end of a quiet cobbled lane in North Melbourne (what is it with me and Australian homes right now - did you see last week's posts?!), Ben and Heidi's house has been filled with vintage and second hand finds, for a lovely relaxed, bohemian vibe which is as personal as it is fascinating.

Every time I look through the pictures I spot something new. Did you see the arm for example (it makes sense when you look through Heidi's portfolio)?! And of course their very handsome cat Nico!

I love the colour scheme in the bedroom... so inspiring!

It's these elements of surprises which make the home so fascinating, don't you think?

Get the look: pick up a mid-century credenza here, macrame plant holder, this is a great source for vintage easels. Vintage tin boxes.  Heidi's art. I love the round chair in the bedroom but haven't found anything like it - any tips?

More beautiful artists' home to feel inspired by: a beautiful Copenhagen home in a former sculpter's atelier, an artist's home and studio in Stockholm, a Swedish artist's home in a former school.

Have a great start to the week!
