The Finnish treatment

This fantastic Finnish home was styled by the home owners in collaboration with Scandinavian Deko's editor-in-chief Ulla Koskinen for the Housing Fair Finland, set up to improve the quality of housing and living conditions in Finland. The space is defined by it's large open spaces, minimalist style, clean lines and the perfect balance of black, grey, white, wood and concrete. It is all very zen. I love it.

What do you think? Are you the minamlist, clean lines type of interior person or do you prefer to mess things up a little?

PS Slightly off topic, but since I'm in London this week......Congratulations to Kate and Wills on the arrival of a little boy! I wonder what his name will be? My money's on Alfred (Alfie), what about you?!

A weekend retreat in Skåne

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! In Southern Sweden it's becoming increasingly popular/ trendy to  escape city apartments at weekends / in the summer to a 'kollonilott' (an allotment often with a small house). Seeing these pictures, it's a far cry from the small veggie patch allotment my parents had when I grew up (I remember hours of raking, digging and once trod on a slug bare foot....). This allotment site comes with a beautiful cottage owned by Emma Persson Lagerberg and is currently up for sale.

White, wood and greys in Stockholm

Earlier in the week I showed this home by Folkhem. And today I found another one by Folkhem I just had to share with you! With the weather so hot and humid in London today (I'm visiting friends and family :) this place is a cool oasis of calm.

Photographer: Henrik Bonnevier, Folkhem. 

I spy pieces from some of my favourite brands Muuto, Hay, and Thonet. I absolutely love the children's bedroom too, so cute. I'm planning on sourcing the Stacked Shelving System in white for my little girls room too.

What do you think of this space?

I hope you have some great plans lined up for the weekend?! I'm gearing up for my sisters engagement garden party tomorrow evening here in London, can't wait!

Have a lovely sunny couple of days and see you Monday.
