A Swedish apartment in pretty white, blue and cognac
Friday 12 April 2013
Hello Friday! Yay! Here's a colour scheme I haven't seen in a while; (sky?) blue, white and cognac. It's such a pretty combination it's enough to make me want to re-think the colours I've chosen for my own home! I also love the shabby chic double doors, a nice break away from the otherwise pristine white Swedish apartment.

So. It's nearly the weekend WOOHOO! Any plans? Apart from spending time with my family, I'm really hoping to get my hands on a Hay mirror and do a little bit of hall styling. They're quite tricky to get hold of in Sweden as there's such a long waiting list. Wish me luck!
Before I head for the weekend here are a few links for the weekend:
Last night there was a repeat of The Scandinavian House on Grand Designs. Architect Kathrine designed and built the home around her love of 50's Scandinavian furniture. I was mesmerised! See pictures of the home here and a short film about the architecture here.
For those of you who plan to sleep all weekend....here's some bedroom inspiration: http://bungalow5.dk/opdateret-sovevaerelse/
And finally, the latest edition of Lonny Mag is out- curl up, enjoy that morning coffee and read it here.
Have a wonderful weekend all!
The incredible monochrome home of Therese Sennerholt
Thursday 11 April 2013
One of the wonderful things about editing an interior design blog is that I get to look at beautiful homes everyday in the name of work (at least that's what I tell my husband when he catches me on Pinterest again!).And every once in a while I come across a home which takes my breath away. This is one of the them. You may have seen it before but hey, you can't tire of a space like this! It's the home of Swedish art director /typographer Therese Sennerholt. I am a great fan of her work and own several of her prints. Her home really reflects her work in terms of colour (black and white) and style.

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

Stadshem |
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?
A beautiful, minimal Danish home
Monday 8 April 2013
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?
A beautifully renovated Finnish cabin
Friday 5 April 2013
Spring has sort of arrived in Scandinavia and summer cottages are starting to be prepped for weekend visits and the wonderful month of July. This newly renovated cottage in the Finnish archepelegoes belongs to the editor behind inspiring blog Time of the Aquarius, and her partner and three children. It really has been a labour of love through the winter (trust me, I've seen the 'before' pictures!) but the work they've done so far is simply stunning.

The cottage is about three hours from their home (by car and ferry) and they plan to spend their long summer days their with their three children. How idyllic! Do you have a summer cottage or a weekend retreat?
Before I shoot off for the weekend, I have an important announcement......

LOVE the hallway. Must be the gold and raspberry colour combination. And look at that collection of vintage fans? Beauty in numbers. And just imagine how cool you'd keep on a hot summers day? Ha! Do you collect anything?
