Apartment with a mid-century touch

Hello! At the weekend I nipped into Nirvana in Malmö which is a second hand shop specialising in mid-century scandinavian furniture, it's only open one weekend a month and is crammed full of cool bits and pieces. Such a fab place! My 2 and 4 year old were with me this time so was a bit hard to focus (read - 'incredibly stressful'!) haha! But that doesn't mean I wasn't inspired, and I'm going to have to return soon (on.my.own) to see if I can pick up some cool pieces like the ones in this apartment.

Do you have any mid century pieces in your home? One of my favourite belongings is our mid-century drinks trolley which my mother-in-law gave us.

I hope you all have a lovely day!

An open family space in Gothenburg

For those of you who felt yesterdays home was a little too minamilist  (I really enjoyed reading your comments!), here's a slightly more cosy, family home for you In Gothenburg, Sweden. Stadshem have cleverly styled this Swedish apartment so that every corner is functional and inviting with soft textiles thrown over sofas, chairs and the bed. I love how the space is so open with large double doors thrown open creating a feeling of movement.

Any favourite features?

The more I look at the home tours each day the more impressed I am that the spaces look so complete. I have sooooo many projects on my to do list but just can't seem to get anything ticked off. And then of course before I do anything it's a weigh up - 'new white floors and wood burning stove...or a family holiday'?! You can imagine which wins :) Does anyone else feel like this? Or is your home decorating complete?

PS On a brigher note, did you manage to pack 20 things off for recycling yesterday?! Mine are already bundled and ready to go! And tonight, I might just find another 20.....I'm getting into this now!

A beautiful, minimal Danish home

Morning all! I hope you all had a lovely weekend? Here it was er 'fresh', infact it snowed. So I decided to do some de-cluttering and went on a mission to throw away ( read donate to charity) 20 items I didn't need / want/ like anymore. And it was so satisfying, I could definitely recommend it. This beautiful Danish home by Studio Baki Architects is a perfect example of a clutter free space and will be my inspiration for the week as my de-cluttering continues!

*sigh* so many beautiful pieces but if I had to pick one it would be the Tom Dixon Copper Shade Light. What about you?!

Do you have too many things in your home? Or have you got the perfect balance?
