An elegant Swedish space with a crackling fire

I thought I'd check in today with a truly elegant Swedish space with high ceilings, period features and lovely natural light. I can almost hear the sound of music from the piano, the crackle of the fire and a slow coffee brewing in the kitchen! Oh how I'd love to be hiding out from the cold and darkness here in Sweden under that blanket by the fire today (possibly tucking into one of these (or perhaps this variety?! Hang on - a cronut? why haven't I heard of these before?). Er, sorry. Moving on swiftly with the  tour...

Want to hang out too?!

It's fun seeing mosaic tiles as a kitchen splash back rather than on the bathroom floor - what a great feature?!Source similar at Bert & May.

Is there anything that stands out to you?

I also love this elegant Stockholm home in black and navy (oh, the drama of it!).

Is it just me or is Christmas slowly creeping into your Pinterest feed? You may have noticed that I'm holding out on festive posts for now. When the time is right though, I'll be making this pretty door decoration, to spread a little love to everyone passing by my door.

Have a lovely day!

A fabulous mid-century modern home in Los Angeles

This a-ma-zing Los Angeles Home of stylist Jessica De Ruiter was shot by Pia Ulin for Kinfolk Home - interiors for slow living. How apt. I could do just that in this space - starting with the pool! At first I was struck by the fabulous architecture (the home was built in 1953), and then I peeped inside and fell in love with the decor too.  Formerly an artist's home and studio, the family have adapted the Silver-Lake home to their needs but kept many of the original features. I love the earthy tones and soft textures and will you just look at that built in sofa, nook, and storage as well as the classic mid-century pieces? What a truly inspiring space...

This is such a dream space. I could absolutely live 'slow' here - could you?!

A few items I know and love: Safari chair. Pick up original mid-century chairs at Live Auctioneers. Houseology sells super soft neutral toned blankets like these. White sheepskin rugs/ throws.

Even though I have a tiny garden I still squirrel away lots of swimming pool inspiration here. For that day when... 

More fabulous mid-century inspired homes include a Scandinavian home, a space in Berlin and a Gothenburg apartment. Got to love this style?!

Have a lovely day!
