An artist's studio and home in Stockholm

Hello! Hope you had a wonderful weekend? It was one of those rare late summer weekends here where the sky is deep blue and the air crisp - so we headed off into the woods again for a picnic with friends. I hope you managed to switch off, if only for a few hours, too?! I'm feeling kind of creative this morning which is why I fell for this studio in Kungsholmen, Stockholm full of vintage and antique finds. Beautiful glass dividers separate the sleeping quarter from the artists studio and dining area. The 'But first coffee' print perfectly fits the mood for the start of the week, don't you think?!

Fantastic Frank

What a charming space, don't you think?! I'm not sure how the owners can be bear to part with it, but it's for sale through Fantastic Frank - Stockholm bolthole anyone?

I really love the industrial window divider - if you have an open plan space and thinking of dividing in two but don't want to lose the flow of light these are perfect  - you can even install them yourself- check out this DIY post!

I'm not sure where the 'But first coffee' print is from, perhaps it's by the artist him/herself? (tips welcome!) however, you could always create your own here.

More arty / creative spaces include this fantastic Italian designer's studio, a Swedish artist's home in a converted school, and a boho maker's space on Sweden's west coast.

Have a great start to the week!

My home: new Mapiful print

I love to be surrounded by meaningful prints (you only have to see the gallery in our sitting room). That's why I got totally over excited about Mapiful - a website allowing you to create your own map print featuring anywhere in the world. I tell you, it was difficult to tear me away!  I considered a few places such as the nostalgic London borough I grew up in, and the romantic Swedish west coast village where my Swedish husband and I met. But I finally settled on one of my favourite cities in the world - Copenhagen. The Mapiful print now takes pride of place in our open-plan living space...and serves as a great reminder that the fab danish capital is just a short hop over 'the bridge' or sail across the Öresund, waiting to be explored! Here are a few pics of my map....
