Black, white and cosy in Stockholm

Morning! I hope you had a great weekend? We had such an amazing time in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast at my friend's wedding (have you ever been, it's so beautiful there?!). Back to rain here in Malmö with a bump and there's a distinct feel of Autumn in the air. This fab black, white and grey apartment is part of a new project by JM in Stockholm. The soft sheepskin furs and rugs create a perfect haven for cosy Autumn days as the light fades and the leaves turn to yellow. Perhaps it's not all bad to come back to the rain after all!

What do you reckon? Your kind of space?

If you love the cross blanket as much as I do (and I shouldn't be telling you this as I'm hoping to win it myself....) there's a fab little competition to win one here!

For more 'cosy' inspiration check out this post..... I need to go and dig out my ultra soft, ultra woolly slippers!

PS My wonderful sponsor Smallable is celebrating it's 5th birthday this week with chances to win fab prizes everday,  you can also make the most of discounts and other surprises - don't miss out here! I have my eye on the Oeuf prize!

So many competitions....such little time :)

A white Gothenburg apartment

What would a week be here on My Scandinavian Home without a home tour from one of my favourite Swedish estate agents?! This home in Gothenburg is a vision in all white softened by the exposed brick wall, black furniture and touches of geometric fabrics. Beautifully styled and photographed by Stadshem.

I think my idea to steal here are the industrial bare lightbulbs in the kitchen hung at different heights. What about you?

PS I spy the very cool Thonet chairs (15% off with discount MYSCAN :) again in the kitchen- they're everywhere this year (the Eames of 2013?). I also spy what looks like the Muuto stacked shelving system in the hallway. 

I'm heading off to a great friend of mine's wedding this weekend, so exciting! I hope I'll get the chance to blog tomorrow but in case I don't, have a fantastic weekend!

A monochrome Melbourne home

Today's home has a very different look from yesterday's Stockholm apartment, even though they are both decorated in monochrome. This double fronted weatherboard cottage in Melbourne was seamlessly adapted by Techne Architects. I love the way the light falls in the house and the way wood is used to soften the black and white interior.

Pretty cool right? I love the book shelves (and of course the 'Hungry Caterpillar' book in the fireplace - did you read this as a child?).

Which monochrome home is more your style - today's or yesterdays? Or perhaps this Finnish one or this Danish one?! So many different ways to do black and white!
