A beautiful family home in The Hague

You may recognise this beautiful Dutch apartment from a post last April. It's the home of Saar Manche and her family, this time used as a muse for Over the Ocean - a store highlighting the best of European design with a handpicked selection of children's clothing, toys, and home goods.  Over the Ocean is inspired by 'creative mothers living in different European metropolises and reflecting the authentic style of those cities'. Photographer and illustrator Saar Manche recently opened her doors to share the essentials that make their everyday life more beautiful. Let's take a peek inside....

Photography / Home owner: Saar Manche. Over the ocean.

Oh so pretty. And relaxed. And calm.

I especially love the cabinet in the bathroom. How about you?

My usual get the look: Bertoia chairs in white, this mid-century credenza is similar (or pick up a vintage one here), Source vintage cameras here. Round rattan chair and white sheepskin throw. Milk maid stool. Children's clothes from Over the Ocean.

I love floors with hand painted harlequin pattern. You can see other examples in the hallways of Swedish singer's home, a Swedish country home and a lovely home on an island. Oh and this hallway is amazing too - so striking! This DIY tutorial is handy if you're tempted! Hmmmm, maybe I should do this in my bedroom?!

Have a lovely day!

PS This is not a sponsored post - just a great collaboration I thought you'd like to see!

A Stockholm pad in monochrome and 'tan'

Wake up, it's a beautiful morning.....plus I've got a fab flat to show you! This relaxed two bedroom space in Södermalm, Stockholm (styled for sale) is full of nice touches, and rocks many of the design trends in the interior design world right now. From a tan leather sofa and kilim rug to a washed linen tablecloth and an abundance of plants (it seems they have a fondness for Kate Moss too!). I especially like the second bedroom - it's not always easy to furnish a narrow room but this one looks fab, don't you think? Loving the low bed.  Let's take a tour....

Bo /Sthlm - Fastighetsmäklare found via (my) unfinished home with thanks

I love how easy it looks to live here don't you? A super comfy sitting room, relaxed place to eat, a work space....and pretty much bathed in pools of light where ever you choose to sit. So nice!

A few items I know and love: sitting room - source a similar kilim rug here, I love this tan leather sofa. The koushi lamp is similar. The Kate Moss book and 'life is a joke' print. Dining area - burlap grey linen table cloth (beautiful!), bentwood chairs, grey sheepskin rug, bell jar. Bedroom - washed linen bedding in white and dark grey. bedroom 2 - blue linen bedding (love this).

I'm also loving this fantastic Danish apartment in the same scheme - imagine?!

Today I've been invited for lunch at a small local communal workspace inhabited by a bunch of talented creatives including the designer behind Swedish Ninja (looking forward to getting a glimpse of the 'Little Darling' first hand)!

I hope you've got some fun plans for today too!

See you tomorrow!
