A Norwegian space with a boho / rustic touch

Morning! I hope you had a great weekend?! Southern Sweden is basking in sunshine right now, it's been so wonderful to be outside from dawn to dusk! I thought I'd kick off the week with the lovely rustic home of interior stylist / photographer Line from Vintagepiken. I have shown a few pics of this beautiful Norwegian boho space before and now it's been updated with a set of the oh so fab Schooley lights over the dining table and textiles (on table and floor) from Private 0204. I had to write to Line and ask her if those peaches were as soft and succulent as they look and she confirmed that they were indeed!

So lovely don't you think?

I love the way the table has been decorated don't you? Perfect for lunch inside on a rainy summer's day.

You might recognise the rustic workman's stool as I have a set I use as bedside tables in my bedroom. There are two for sale here and actually if you search for 'stools' on LiveAuctioneers a whole host of really beautiful vintage industrial stools come up.

For more bohemian inspiration this morning check out more lovely home tours here and spaces with rustic charm here (scroll passed this one above which will come out top).

Have a wonderful day!!

A lovely Dutch family home

Hello Friday! I'm writing this post from a cafe by the Öresund as a storm rages outside. Kind of cosy and romantic I guess, until I go out in it?! I'm so excited to share the fabulous Dutch family home of Katja, an interior designer and author of blog Mint & Mocha, husband Mark and two children Tijl (6) and Bebèl (5) in Bussum near Amsterdam. Although the family prefer a basic, uncluttered space, Katja assures me that the floor is often covered with toys and food from the children (sounds familiar!) and the doors are always open to  kids and friends in the neighbourhood who love to drop by. The house is a constant work in progress as the children grow and Katja and Mark's tastes evolve, although I think it's perfect as it is don't you?

 Such a fabulous family home don't you think?!

And I forgot the best news of all - it's actually available as a holiday let through Kid & Coe! I'M ON IT!!

I spy: Eames DSW chairs (15% discount with MYSCAN), Tom Dixon Copper Shade pendant, wallpapers: Harlequin Ferm Living, Palm Jungle, and Woods by Cole & Son. Man in the moon poster, Personalised letter banners in the children's bedrooms, Tripp Trapp chair by Stokke and Alex drawers.

I do absolutely love the Dutch style! In case you missed them, here are some of my favourite Dutch homes to have appeared on My Scandinavian Home: Nancy Berendsen's fab home, the stunning home of a Dutch photographer, and the lovely home of Old and New owner. I feel a trip to Holland's in order don't you?!

So now it's time for the weeeekend. Yay! Up to anything lovely?

I hope you have a wonderful couple of days and see you Monday!

A touch of colour in a light and airy Swedish home

Here's a colour I haven't seen for a while. Orange. I've never been a fan but I'm starting to change my mind, how about you? I especially love burnt orange combined with olive green. This charming and meticulously renovated early 20th century Swedish apartment has been painted white and colours like orange have been added in the form of textiles, cushions and lighting. The space looks out over a lush courtyard and has beautiful wood floors, and period features. I could pad around here on a Thursday, how about you?!

Alvhem

Rather nice don't you think? I love the high ceilings.

A few items that stand out: Thonet 214 dining chairs (15% discount with code MYSCAN) and Ferm Living harlequin grey wallpaper in the kitchen. La Voliere Pendant Light  and vintage leather chair (try LiveAuctioneers for similar) in the sitting room.  7 chair (try here for vintage version) and monthly wall planner in the office space which was designed by my neighbour's company All The Way To Paris for Hay.

I also love the Yoko Ono poster - it's from a recent exhibition at Louisiana in Copenhagen I've had a browse on their online shop but couldn't find it - perhaps I need to visit the museum shop in person...if I needed an excuse....:)

Other favourite Swedish apartments today include this, this and this one.

Have a lovely Thursday!

The cool Copenhagen home of a typographer

It's been ages since I showed a Danish home. I don't know why as I absolutely lovely the Danish style and I'm lucky enough to live just over the bridge from Copenhagen - one of the coolest cities in the world (in my eyes anyway?)! This three room apartment in the Nørrebro a cool quarter of the Danish capital belongs to Kathrine Højriis and Thomas Bærnholdt, owners of positive poster company I Love My Type. The furniture has been selected simply because they love it, and the walls are adorned with an array of wonderful prints including some of their own.

Photographs: Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer. Femina. Thank you to Coco Lapine Design for the inspiration.  

Fabulous home don't you think?

When I wrote to Kathrine yesterday to ask permission to show her home, Thomas answered straight away: ' I just told Kathrine about your mail and she's very happy that you want to share our home and says 'hello' from across our shared office desk'.

I thought it was such a lovely reply - not only does it sound like a wonderful work environment but the response also represents the positive energy instilled in the ethos behind I Love My Type. The ILMT webshop is a self proclaimed- cool typographical poster universe with posters that will inspire you to make a different to others and benefit fully from what life has to offer. You can even get personalised posters made! I'm on it!

Thank you Kathrine and Thomas for sharing your beautiful home.

Other Danish apartments I absolutely love include the home of a Danish architect, a Danish oasis in Cannes and the home of a Danish stylist. if you do one thing this morning - pour yourself a latte and drool over these!

Have a lovely day!
