Elina Dahl's happy home

This apartment belongs to talented Swedish designer Elina Dahl (currently for sale). It looks like such a happy home. I love the choice of colours in the sitting room, and Elina's wonderful prints through out.

We need a post sorter like this in our home - our post is soooo messy with piles of it all over the breakfast bar. Someone once told me that you should only ever handle an item you receive in the post once; i.e. as soon as you open it, file it / recycle it/ whatever immediately. How are you with this?! I'm hopeless despite best efforts!

If you like Elina's prints, you could try your luck in her give-away to win a print of your choice this week. And while we're in the mood for competitions (always) there's a great one over at Nest to win an original 1227 Anglepoise Desk Lamp here.

Have a lovely day!

A pretty seaside home in Denmark

I love this pretty apartment in Copenhagen. The owner, Othilia Thalund (Nordic agent for Meridiani and owner of interior shop Othilia Decor) has lived in many places with her two children, some of which have been huge in comparison, but this light and airy fisherman's house with sea views resonates with her the most.   The home is decorated with items she has collected over the years and combines Italian design with ethnic influences and Scandinavian simplicity. So beautiful!

This is my dream home with it's wonderful location by the sea, sense of history and beautiful interior! What about you?

PS  A bit random but does anyone know where I can buy a white four poster bed ('himmelsäng') in Sweden?! :)

Have a lovely day!

Black, white and cognac in a Swedish apartment

Good morning! How are you today? Here, the sun is shining and the sky is blue - which makes it very hard impossible to concentrate! As always Alvhem have styled this apartment to perfection with it's white walls and floors and monochrome with cognac colour theme, very lovely! Makes me want to rush home and start removating (with pots and pots of white paint!).

I have sooooo many ideas for my home and such little time but I think one of the first things I'll do is buy some shelves like the ones in the top picture for my little girls bedroom (I love the Muuto stacked shelving system in particular).

For black and white prints I'm all over this diamond poster set by Kathapult which I acquired over the weekend. What about you?

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!
