A fabulous Swedish apartment in Malmö

Hejsan, hejsan! I hope you had a fabulous weekend?! Have I got the most amazing home tour to share today!  Excitingly the apartment is for sale right here in Malmö, Sweden and situated on a lovely square in the town centre called Davidshallstorg (if you're visiting Malmö go there to enjoy vintage and quirky clothes boutiques, restaurant Mrs Brown and a short walk to one of my favourite haunts the Victoria picnic theatre). Every room in this spacious apartment is so fresh and light thanks to the white walls, high ceilings and double doors. The owners clearly have a fantastic sense of style too decorating the space with a perfect mix of designer pieces and high street finds. My Monday morning has just got infinitely better!

I spy: Kitchen: 7 series chairs, Tivoli radio, Rosendahl clock.  Rosendahl monkey. Children's bedroom: red bumling light, the Vitra Hang it All. Dining room: Eames DSW chairs, Kubus 4 candleholder. Sitting room: LCM chair,  what else, what else?...feel free to add anything in the comment section!!

Could you move in here?!

Have a wonderful Monday!

PS thank you to my uber stylish friend Malin for the tip on today's home tour!

Quirky interior inspiration for the weekend

I do love to show home tours (you can tell by the hundreds of Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and International homes in my blog archive!) but just occasionally I come across images from a company which are so beautiful and inspiring that I can't resist sharing them here too. Take Olsson & Jensen's autumn/winter 2014 lifestyle images for example. Olsson & Jensen is a Swedish company, based up the road in Helsingborg, selling vintage furniture and items for the home in Sweden and beyond. They also seem to be specialists in creating incredible spaces! There's something unique and quirky about all of these rooms - whether it's the mix of contemporary and old, over-sized pendant lamps or oil painting gallery walls. I'm taking my inspiration from here this weekend.

I would love to re-create the sitting room in my home!Anything in particular you'll be adding to your Pinterest boards?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday!

A small space with a big personality

I spotted this Gothenburg apartment over at Stadshem this morning and I thought - ooooo. It's perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but there's something about the black leather sofa, plants and cool art and mid-century mix that I love (as you know I'm a big fan of Scandinavian mid-century in my own home). It's also sightly off beat - the rug is askew, they have used a reclaimed stool as a coffee table and simply piled books on the floor for a more relaxed feel. It's hard to believe that it's a one room flat too!

What do you like most about this space?

It's not an easy look to replicate since many of the items are one off finds. However, second hand black leather sofas are often coming up on Lauritz or LiveAuctioneers and you can search for portrait paintings on Etsy.

If you're in or near Malmö there are some great places to pick up mid-century pieces - once a month Nirvana opens it's doors, and they also have an online shop. If you get lucky you can also pick up cool pieces at Sopstationen (this is my ruse to get you to Malmö! I hope it's working?!).

I hope you have a fab Thursday!
