Pretty pictures

I am so proud to introduce you to my wonderful new sponsor L'Affiche Moderne, an online shop selling fab (and affordable - yay!) art for the home. Here's a sneaky peek of some of the work they sell. I've just been browsing the sea/water and retro/vintage photography sections too, ooooh so fab. I'm ridiculously excited!

I'll be popping by later with some home inspiration so stay tuuuuned, until then, enjoy the sunshine! x

Swedish home with vintage finds: part II

Yesterday we took a peek around the wonderful  little children's bedroom from Johanna Gartmyr's Southern Swedish family home. And today I promised you the remainder of this fab home crammed full of wonderful retro flea market finds and timeless Scandinavian designer pieces. I particularly love how Johanna and her husband have balanced the splashes of colour in each room, for example the bright yellow lamp matches with the retro chilren's high chair in the dining area...

I spy variations of the String shelves in the dining and sitting room areas. The IKEA black and white striped STOCKHOLM RAND rug in the sitting room and the 'round elefant' black tray from Svenskt Tenn in the last picture.

Such a fab, happy home! Is there anything you particularly love?

PS Thank you Johanna for your kind permission  to share these images (taken by sister, Lisa Wikstrand).

PPS My Scandinavian Home is finally on Facebook as of a month ago (although it has an identity disorder and thinks it's a Tumblr so if you like to have your day occasionally interrupted by a pretty interior picture it could be worth a 'like'. Oh and I am also a little addicted to Pinterest too, are you on there too?

Swedish home with fun vintage finds: Part I

Hej hej! On Saturday I went off on a great flea market road trip around South West Skåne. It's amazing all the fantastic things you can find at bargain prices (and for charity).  The home in today's post, with kind permission from the owner, Johanna from AprillAprill blog and her family, is the perfect example of what you can do with a little upcycling. Since there are so many fab pictures (photographed by Johanna's sister Lisa Wikstrand (blog here) for Retro magazine) Here's part I of a two part series- her daughter's fab bright, fun bedroom.

Isn't it such a perfect bedroom for a little girl?

We were at a friend's house for brunch yesterday (who have the most fantastic converted school out in the countryside but that's another story) and they had exactly the same play castle (lekborg) from Smallroom in their children's playroom. Oh how much would my girls love one of those.

Look out for the rest of Johanna's beautiful Scandinavian retro home in part II tomorrow!

PS How come my home doesn't look like this after Saturday's flea market tour?!!

Fab ways to do 'big patterned' wallpaper

Thinking of adding a little something to your walls? We all know big patterned wallpaper is big this Autumn. But, for an updated look how about thinking outside of the four walls as shown in this inspiring Elle Interiör shoot....

I like the idea of wallpapering my husband and kids too, they'd look fab in floral! Any ideas for your home?

Have a lovely weekend and see you Monday!

PS want more inspiration? To read more about the shoot and the wallpaper hop over to Elle Interiör.
