The Apartment. Copenhagen

Hello and happy Friday!! Especially happy for me as I'm still on my holidays - Yaaaay! Even still, I just had to pop into the blog world to show you this absolutely stunning concept space called 'The Apartment' in Christianshavn, a beautiful, central district of Copenhagen. The Apartment has been lovingly restored by Tina Seidenfaden Busck and Pernille Hornhaver and represents a 'new universe of design objects, furniture, antiques and art'.

' We hope that The Apartment will become more interesting as time passes. That we establish a place for beautiful design and art that surprises each and every visitor - somewhere people come back to again and again for inspiration for exciting design' - Tina & Pernille, The Apartment.

If you find yourself in or around Copenhagen why not stop by and see this wonderful concept apartment? I know I will! For more information about the concept, art and furniture featured in these images and how to visit check out The Apartment website here.

Have a lovely weekend!

Sail away in Scandinavia!

Ahoy there! Just back from a wonderful sailing trip with my man and two little girls around the Skaelland coast (home to Copenhagen) in Denmark. I wish these pics were of me on my boat, but admittedly I look, shall we say, a little more wind swept! But we did have beautiful sunshine, do have a lovely boat and although the Danish coast isn't mountainous like this, it is very pretty, so I feel very lucky all the same!

My favourite stop of all was a little island called Nyord, it was so idyllic with old wooden beamed beach cottages and honesty shops on every corner selling everything from locally grown vegetables, rhubarb jam to mustard from the nearby mill and locally produced shampoo and conditioner.

If you fancy sailing the beautiful Swedish South coast and the Danish East coast give me a shout as we charter our yacht, and would of course give a very favourable rate as well as lots of itinerary tips to all my wonderful blog readers, simply because I'd love you to explore this area by boat too!

A touch of Nordic, pattern and industrial

I found this wonderful apartment via one of my favourite blogs La Maison D'Anna G. It has been created by Linda Bergroth who is a Helsinki and Paris based designer. You can really see the Nordic influence in the outcome.

I absolutely LOVE the bathroom in the last picture; the mix of industrial lights, the mid-century dresser and geometric tiled floor is totally fab!

A weekend retreat in South Africa

Since it's the week of all white holiday homes in beautiful locations, I had to feature this beautiful weekend retreat of architect Minky Lidchi which I found via the wonderful blog 79 ideas. I visited South Africa for the first time last autumn and already can't wait to find an opportunity to go back.

If there's one thing that truly stands out to me it's the beautiful walls. I long to have textured walls like this. I also love the sculptures, very beautiful! What do you reckon?
