Small space inspiration: a lovely Swedish apartment

It's the weekend. woohoo! It's a special one in our home as my youngest turns 4! She's asked to go horse riding for her birthday so we'll be heading out into the forest with a few friends. I'm so looking forward to it as the leaves are just starting to turn red and yellow and the forest floor is lined with mushrooms and toadstools. Such a lovely time of year! Before I head off I wanted to share this lovely home with you (for sale here). Believe it or not it's only 41 metres square with the sitting room, sleeping area and home office combined in one room. Despite the limitations there's something very calm and uncluttered about it. Perfect inspiration for a small living area don't you think?

I especially love the office area. Is there anything that stands out to you?

For more small space inspiration check out the archive - warning, there's quite a few so you may want to pour yourself a coffee first!

Have you got any plans for the weekend? Taking it easy? Decorating? Walk along the beach? Kite flying? Wild night out? Would love to hear your plans and what you do in your part of the world.

Have a great couple of days and see you Monday!

The beautiful home of a Danish author

This home is incredible (thank you for the tip Husligheter). In fact, I'll be pinning every single image. It's the home of Danish born, novelist Annika von Holdt author of The Mummers Play, Sleep Like the Dead, The Night Hour and The haunted. Annika and her family divide their time between Copenhagen (featured) and the Bahamas (sounds like my idea of heaven!). You can gain a wonderful insight into Annika's life, creative process and see more beautiful pictures of her home on her blog here. In the meantime here are a few of my favourite snaps.

What a beautiful home, I love the way the space has been photographed and the treatment too. Anything you love in particular?

A few items I know and love: source luxuriously soft linen bedding here. I've always been a big fan of the Knoll diamond chair and Bertoia side chair. I also spy a black Eames RAR rocker and a Panton chair. Try IKEA for thin picture shelves to create a wall like Annika's.

You can also follow Annika on Instagram (love the picture of her kitty cat!).

Have a lovely day!

A Swedish apartment in notes of white, cream and beige

There's something very pretty and serene about this Gothenburg home. I'm not sure if it's the way it's been photographed, the calm white, cream and beige tones or the vintage touches or perhaps a combination of all three? But there's something about it that I really like. Have you noticed how cream / beige walls have made a bit of a come back this Autumn? Although I'm more of a white wall kind of gal there's no denying beige adds a lovely element of warmth especially as it gets darker outside (the clocks go forward in a few weeks eeeek, let's not talk about it!). I could see myself padding around here, how about you?!

Anything you love in particular about this home? I think the kitchen is really lovely.

I've had a couple of questions about the print and after a little research pinned it down to the Insect Alphabet print / poster by Martin Lannering here.

A big thank you to Grazia France who included my blog in a list of 'eight interior blogs to boost your apartment' (here), what an honour!

Have a lovely day!
