A Swedish apartment with dramatic dark shades

Why hello there Thursday! Is it just me or is the week whistling by?! It could be that time flies when you're having fun and yesterday I had a great day with Valentina Fussell (you might recognise the name from this piece I shared the other day). We're working on an exciting project which is well overdue. I can't wait to share it with you....watch this space! But back to the here and now - and today I thought we could take a tour of this fab home in Gothenburg. Think beautiful dark wood floors, dark grey / blue kitchen units, black accent walls, bold shelving and rich textures such as concrete, wood, sheepskin and leather. So dramatic and so lovely! Let's take a look.....

Stylist: Emma Fisher, Photography: Alen Cordic - Bjurfors

What a great space?! And what a contrast to yesterday's light and airy apartment. Which look do you prefer?

Get the look: Tom Dixon beat lights, super front door handles, Gotland sheepskin throw (how have I never discovered this beautiful Etsy shop before?!), diamond black and white rug.

You can see the full tour of this apartment over at Bjurfors (yes, it's for sale!).

Oh and off topic, but if you're up for a little DIY project  - how fab is this wall with painted 'eyes'?! Something for the weekend perhaps?

Have a lovely day!

A Swedish apartment bathed in light

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful time over Easter (for those of you who were off)? Thank you so much for entering the big Easter give-away, what an overwhelming response! - the winner has now been announced here (the suspense....). I'm back in sunny Sweden and enjoying one of my slow coffee mornings (cue - children and man out the door, coffee on the go, First Aid Kit on Spotify - bliss!). I thought I'd share this lovely apartment in Sweden today. I know exactly the spot I'd sit and enjoy a coffee - can you guess?! And then I'd pad around on the beautiful light wood floor, or snuggled up on the sofa reading in the natural light pouring through the window. Want to join me?!

Entrance Fastighetsmäkleri

What do you say? Somewhere you could wile away a morning?

Get the look: striped rug, mid-century modern coffee table, sheepskin chair seat, Thonet chairs, graphite linen pillows and white bedding, black and white striped wallpaper.

A couple of other things I love from around the web today:

12 unique staircases...do you have a favourite?!

Navy tiles and black clawfoot bathtub - what a fab bathroom?!  There's also this bathroom, if you prefer a slightly more traditional touch.

The perfect bedroom?

Work space inspiration - those shelves!

I've always wanted to own my own Kiln (could this be the year?!) and fantacise about sitting in a studio exactly like this one. I'd then store all my new creations here - of course!

Have a lovely day!

PS If you didn't win last weekend's give-away, no fear - there will be another one this weekend!.....Ooooo.
