The creative home of a Swedish artist

I'm not sure if you remember the lovely home of Stockholm based artist Åsa Stenerhag that I featured back in January 2015? Well, I was excited to discover more pictures (by photographer Jonas Ingerstedt) last night! Åsa's apartment has been decorated with earthy tones of beige, brown and deep red (kind of Autumnal don't you think?) combined with black and white and furnished with iconic pieces, fascinating treasures and of course, the most wonderful art. Åsa's art is infused with tactile surfaces and graphic expressions, and many pieces can be seen throughout the home. She also recently made news for her exhibition “Seeking Patterns”, a collaboration with Swedish fashion brand Filippa K (she was formerly part of the design team). It's no wonder her home is so creative!

What a beautiful home?! So unique and personal.

The art steals the show of course, but I also spy one of my favourite lamps - the Mantis floorlamp.  Oh how I'd love one of these in my home one day!

To get a hint of Åsa's style in your home you can purchase her limited edition 'Roots' artwork here, and I'm loving this throw for the colours and texture...also seen here. Beautiful!

Is there anything that stands out to you?

A lil' mid week link love, just because....

Pretty rings for the minimalist.

One day I'd like to live here.

Soft centred chocolate cake. YUM.

One for tired parents - a 'smart' crib that rocks a baby to sleep (where was that when I needed it?!). And for when they're a little bigger - how cute is this little girl's outfit? And, and, and just how beautiful are these threads for kids?

New Instagram find -  Jannik Obenhoff (can't believe he's only 16 can you? - incredible!).

Beautiful Autumn.

Have a lovely day!

PS I'll be stopping by later to share a few of my recent backyard updates (Including a DIY plant box made from an old palette!). Hope you like it!

Could you sleep in a cupboard - like the one in this Swedish pad?

In this lovely apartment in Gothenburg, the designers have decided to make smart use of the very small space by doubling the bedroom up with storage space in the living room. The door can be closed for privacy and a cosy feel at lights out - while the windows still allow a little light to slip in (thankfully or I might start to feel more than a little claustrophobic!). The rest of the apartment has beautiful high ceilings and large windows which flood the space with light  - and a beautiful white, grey cognac and brass combination. Let's take a peek....

Such an inspiring use of space, don't you think? 

There are quite a few items I know and love in this space, including: Butterfly chair, source a Beni Ourain rug here, Tom Dixon tealight holder (I've got one of these and it creates the most beautiful patterns!). Gervasoni sofa, Gotland sheepskin throw. Bedroom: white stonewashed bed linen.  Kitchen - Ant chair.

There's lots and lots more small space inspiration to be found in this archive...(clear the calender!).

Have a wonderful day!

PS If you love an autumn table you'll absolutely love this (and this) table setting by one of my Instagram favourites _foodstories_ - so incredibly beautiful, don't you think?!
