The home of a Danish artist / architect

Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend? Malmö was en fete with the Eurovision Song contest and the sun came out just for the occasion, all in all such a fab weekend! And a huge well done to the winners, Denmark! To celebrate, it had to be a Danish home for today's post! This is the home of Danish artist and architect Anne Boysen. The home reflects her design philosophy: to surpise and at the same time cultivate simplicity. For examples of her work check out Anne's wonderful shop!

I spy so many Scandinavian desginer pieces! The Uten silo, Eames House Bird the Eames DAW armchairs in black (all 15% off with code MYSCAN), the Kubus candlestick from By Larsen, , Hay bedding, Eames AJ floor lamp, Verpan VP Globe Suspension light, and the Series 7 chair.

There are lots of DIY ideas here too. I love the plywood shelving under the TV, it reminds me of the Muuto stacked shelving system, a weekend project perhaps?

Fun lights and pretty wallpaper in a Swedish apartment

Hello Friday! Woohooo! It's been a long old week so I'm really looking forward to a couple of days off, how about you? This apartment bears the signature trademark stamp of a Stadshem styled apartment - pretty Svenskt Tenn Vårklockor wallpaper in the bedroom. It's also the home to  many cool little vintage pieces and two fab lamps: the Midsummer light and The Voliere pendant lamp by Matthieu Challieres.

Do you have a favourite light?

I've added the food cupboard for all you home-sick Swedes living abroad - Havre Gryn, Vete Mjol, Honung....

So, Friday people! Any great plans? I'll be taking it very easy. Usually I'm not a fan of the Eurovision Song Contest (such a spoil sport!) but since it's here in Malmö I might have to tune in tomorrow evening (come on United Kingdom! You can get more than 'nil point' I know you can!). And Sweden....I'll be holding a little torch for you too.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

A cute Finnish children's bedroom

Hello! Just a super quick note from me today. But how cute is this Finnish children's bedroom from fab blog Varpunen? I love all the adorable cushions, I recognise the house one from Danish brand Lucky Boy Sunday. I also love the Elihu the Elephant clock. What a super cute, cosy and fun room!

Do you know where any of the other cushions are from? I love the snail one!

Could you imagine this style for your (future?) little ones bedroom?

A wonderful white Norwegian loft space

Hello! How are you today, on this 'Lilla Lördag'? I have a beautiful Norwegian apartment to share today. Situated in Grünerløkka, it's fairly small (61 m2) but because of the white, open plan space it looks a lot more spacious. For me, it has everything my (interior) heart desires a few Scandinavian designer pieces, wood beams, a fireplace and a walk in wardrobe, all I would need to add is my family!



Finn.no via Do you fancy this

What do you think? Anything that stands out to you? The jury's still out on open wardrobes. On Facebook I asked the question 'open clothes rail do or don't?' and a lot of people said a 'don't' since they look too cluttered. What are your thoughts?

A little exciting news - do you remember the give-away to win an industrial pendant light I held a few weeks ago (now closed)? I am really excited to announce that ML-Design are now a sponsor so for those of you who missed out, you can buy the beautiful, environmentally friendly pendant light in all colours here.

And finally, if you're on the hunt for some cool new wallpaper you might want to check out this new Scandinavian inspired wallpaper.

Hope you all have a lovely day!
