Finnish style in the Hamptons

You can take a Finn out of Finland but there'll bring their fantastic finnish style with them. This is what Tiina Laakkonen did when she and her husband bought a series of old barns in the East Hamptons and pretty much re-built them from scratch with their own Scandinavian touch......

There's a great article about this home in T magazine here.

I am a happy bunny at the moment as I have a whole pile of great interior inspiration magazines to flip through thanks to my trip to London. Top of the pile are the latest issues of Elle Decoration UK and Living Etc. Would love to hear any glossy interior tips from your country....?

Have a lovely day!

A warm wood feel in Southern Sweden

Feeling revived from my mini break to London (more on that tomorrow), and since I have just set foot on Swedish soil I thought it'd be rude not to post something from around here. So here are a few pics from Malmö photographer Vidir Giersson's portfolio, the photographer behind the Malmö Modern post I shared last Monday. These warm rooms are all softened by touches of different types of wood. I love the way Vidir has captured the texture, it makes me want to reach out and touch it!

Photography: Vidir Giersson

 I see the great blog La Maison D'Anna G has also spotted Vidir's portfolio, perfect!

Don't you just love arriving home? I think I'm going to relax on the sofa with a cup of tea and one of new interior magazines! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. x

A fun, quirky and bright Stockholm home

Le weekend is here! YAAAAY! To celebrate, and complete the Swedish interior week, what better than this happy and fun home bang in the centre of Stockholm? I love all the quirky posessions, the colour choices and the relaxed feel of the apartment.   Myrica Bergqvist, the stylist behind the shoot told me that it's her friend Bella Goldman's apartment and that  'she has done all the fantastic interior design herself'.  Wonderful job Bella, thank you for brightening up our weekend!

Stylist: Myrica bergqvist. Photographer: Patrik Johansson. Interior Designer/home: Bella Goldman

If you fancy checking out a few more inspiring interior pictures this weekend, why not check out the portfolio of  Swedish photographer, Patrik Johansson the guy behind the above images. It's well worth a visit!!

Just a little note also to say hej hej! to all my new readers. The guys at wonderful Atelier Decor blog asked me where my 'follow' button was yesterday and so now I've made it crystal clear with a big B icon in the right margin (thank you Ana at Blog Milk). Just give it a quick click if you want to stay up to date with all my posts! You can also click here to follow me! New followers always make my day!

Any plans for the weekend? I am actually off on a mini break to see my little sister. She has been in Australia so I haven't seen her for an entire year. Soooo exciting!

Monochrome home of a Swedish photographer

Since this is panning out to be a bit of a Swedish week I couldn't resist sharing images from another Swedish photographer's home. This time, Stockholm based Jakob Nylund who has an incredible portfolio (hard to believe he's 27). I'd definitely recommend having a whirl around his blog. I especially love the white walls and black floors and the use of wall mounted and desk angle poise lamps. And the photography of course, is simply stunning.

There are lots more photographs of this beautiful home on here. Soooo worth checking out!

PS Don't you just love short weeks? Tomorrow is Friday already and then it's LE WEEKEND!!!! YYYYAAAYYY! x
