A little ray of sunshine from LA

Today we're all battoning down our hatches here in Southern Sweden Meteorologists have predicted the worst snow storm in 10 years. GRRR! On days like today we need a home whuich comes with a little ray of sunshine. This fun, vibrant sitting room belongs to the fabulous Bri Emery of Design Love Fest fame and was the result of a collaboration with one of LA's hottest interior designers / stylists Emily Henderson. It's just the fix I need!

Love the mid century Danish touches, love the colour, love the prints and the plants. In fact the whole living room space makes me smile and it's just the inspiration I needed on this snowy morning in March! What about you?

More pictures and a very cool before and after snap here. Oh and a full feature in the LA Times here!

Before I head off into the snow, if my blog looks a bit weird for a few days it's because it's going through a small facelift which I'm working on with the talented Ana from Blog Milk. I hope you'll like the end result! See you tomorrow :)

PS Thank you so much for all your lovely words about my bedroom yesterday. Lots to do still bit it's a start :)

My home: bedroom

Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend, get up to anything fun?! Ours was completely jam packed with things but I think my favourite activity was taking my four year old horse riding out in anearby forest here in Skåne. I also got a round to taking a few pictures of our my new bedroom. We recently moved to the top floor and it's such a beautiful space, flooded with light. I still have lots to do but here are some snapshots!

My Scandinavian Home

The bedding (except for the bed spread) is Designers Guild. I made the dusty pink cushion out of a vintage style silk dress. The limited edition heart print was an engagement present and is by Pearl Wallin. The rustic side stools are from Lovely and Company. My gold heels are from Bianco and the industrial lamp is Hay. The brass bedside lamp was a vintage find. Hmmm, I think that's everything but I've missed something just give me a shout!

Here are a few tips on where things are from: the pendant light is the Maskros. I do love it but it's been up for a while so I'm thinking of changing to something else, any suggestions? I'm thinking about the bubble ball light. I also love the Vitra Potence lamp but perhaps this would be better in our sitting room.

Lots to do still but it's a start! :)

I hope you all have a lovely Monday!

A relaxed family home in Gothenburg

Hej hej and happy Friday! The week has flown by! Here on My Scandinavian Home it's been a week of relaxed, bohemian homes hasn't it? It wasn't planned, it just happened seemed to happen that way. This Gothenburg home belongs to Nanna and her family and I feel it fits in perfectly! Nanna writes a lovely blog called 'Så fint Jag vill' ('As nice as I want') which is full of really wonderful photography documenting her days on maternity leave at home, it's definitely worth heading over and taking a look. Here are a few snaps from her lovely blog.

Så fint jag vill

I love the art wall, it reminds me very much of my own one in fact. And also the wallpaper in the kitchen dining area. It makes me wonder if we should change our blackboard wall for wallpaper.....shhh don't tell my husband he'll go nuts! You can see a complete interview with Nanna and more pictures here.

Before I head off for the weekend I wanted to share some fab links with you from around the web.

If you like vintage Nordic...errr hello....you'll like this home.

Speaking of homes (always) my home was featured in a guest post over at Like Want Need last week. it was the first time I've shown a home tour of my own home so I was a little nervous!

This weekend I have my eye on these fab new cushions at LET LIV, the thing is, which to choose?!

I recently won a fab and cosy Dot Grey Merino Blanket in a give-away at Vosges Paris and now I see they are giving away another cosy blanket here. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

And finally, If you're thinking of brightening your home up with some pretty flowers this weekend, how about Quince?

Have a wonderful weekend all, up to anything fun?
