Could you imagine working in this studio?!

This week I officially went back after the summer (cue the daily posts!). As many of you know, before I decided to focus on my own projects I worked for a multinational corporation in a large open plan office over looking a car park on one side and a motorway on the other (guuuuh!). These days my work environment looks a little different. But I've learned that wherever you work there are always small updates you can do to shake things up a little and make it your own. Take Holly Marder's lovely studio in Delft, Holland. I featured it a while ago here, and now she's made some wonderful updates....both small and large. Let's take a peek.....

Could you imagine working here?!

A few items I know and love: Cove and Leaf lines posters. Anne Black hanging planters. Wicker chair from Tine K Home. Leaning rack from Walden. The fab side-cabinet doors are from Superfront.

Holly's bedroom is pretty lovely too (in case you missed it previously). 

See the full feature which includes 'six steps to a fun, fresh and functional home office' over on Holly's blog. 

For more office inspiration today you might also want to check out the creative studio of Katrin Bååth, a beautiful Italian design studio and the fabulous studio of an interior designer. Soooo fab! It wouldn't feel like work in any of these would it?!

Love these work links too:

My 'work' Pinterest board features over 600 lovely office, studio and atelier spaces - can you believe that?!

7 daily habits of highly productive people (strange, it doesn't include slow coffee and long breakfasts - not sure about this list?!).

This beautiful studio has been created by IKEA! The Alex drawers are a favourite of mine.

How lovely is this mid-century desk? Hurry though, it's a one off!

Now I feel like I need to update my office - again! How about you? I'd love to hear about your work space!

Have a lovely day!

A Swedish home with lovely details

If I was looking for an apartment right now (in Gothenburg, Sweden) I'd pick this one! Not only is it an etage in an old, beautifully renovated building known as 'The Carpenter's Pride', it also has lovely details (I'm looking at you tiles, doors and wood beams!), and of course there's the calm tones throughout. The exterior is reminiscent of brick houses commonly seen in the UK (which of course, I'm naturally drawn to!). Oh and it's located in a beautiful valley which meanders towards the Göta River - which runs between Lake Vänern and the Kattegat sea. I'm sold, how about you?!

I have to say the area around the dining room window is so clever - providing storage and a cosy window seat - love that! Plus I have a bit of a thing for rustic benches (I've got a similar one in my dining area). Love the way they've hung a row of hooks above it too.

A couple of other items I know and love - beautiful Thonet chairs, wishbone chairs, and a pure linen table cloth.

Is there anything that stands out to you?

You can see more pics of this lovely home - including the facade here.

Have a lovely day!

PS If you haven't yet - don't forget to enter the give-away to win fun bedding from Feliz here (the competition closes on Thursday!).
