My friend's lovely Malmö home

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A good friend of mine, and fellow Skåne flee market scourer is selling her beautiful 1902 'Sekelskifte' apartment in the centre of Malmö. It will go on the market later today but I was lucky enough to get a sneaky peek! Sofia and her family are so clever at finding items in antique fairs, flee markets and bargain basements and then blending them in with designer pieces. It helps that the apartment has beautiful bones and a fantastic traditional Kakelugn (tiled fireplace) too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Perfect blend: rustic/ industrial/ contemporary

After 8 years in Sweden I thought I knew how to deal with the long winter; leave the country when the snow arrives! If you travel to the Canary Islands or Thailand around early spring you're bound to be surrounded by tanned Swedes stocking up on some much needed sun! But this Autumn I noticed something new-  everyone's heading off now too. A holiday in September presumably to soften the blow of the end of the summer. Since I have missed the boat (litereally) I'm mentally transporting myself  to this stunning home in Spain by architects / property developers <a href="http://www.abaton.es/es" target="_blank">Abaton</a> (via <a href="http://www.79ideas.org/2012/09/pretty-house-in-spain.html" target="_blank">79 ideas</a>) instead. It has just the right mix of Spanish rustic, industrial and modern designer elements to really soften the blow of the impending winter. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabkoHHvpbllTRVnIY8ymMOVp72oFi19SnHjP881JEUCVpCK3Ms9BLJQl0AVwMCUVLMdM0cSRQXu1a4eDIWxA3PWJrvXQPOo2GwdzIZapGy9W_ljzvypNs0kOYZ_iYdAH3On39wlQdbuo/s1600/abaton1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Retro Stockholm apartment

As usual wonderful styling by the Swedish estate agent <a href="http://www.fantasticfrank.se/visa-bostad-hemnet.php?obj=OBJ17365_1173696131" target="_blank">Fantastic Frank</a> (note the flowers in glass bottles, the open vintage suitcase and the leaves taped to the wall). It helps when they have a fab retro style apartment to play with too. Mint walls combined with mid-century teak (I spy a a vintage drinks trolley in teak<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/02/vintage-and-mid-century-drinks-trolleys.html" target="_blank"> like mine</a>) and the <a href="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/copper-shade-pendant-by-tom-dixon/" target="_blank">Copper Shade Pendant by Tom Dixon</a> make for a very cool home, in my eyes. And I love the small details too such as the siver birch tree trunk in the hallway used as a coat stand - potential DIY project? <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Second hand industrial lamp; I think it's Louis Poulsen but I need to get this checked. The pretty pink flower is a 'Gloriosa' and the green plant is a Fig. The footstool is <a href="http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/10225589/" target="_blank">BEKVÄM</a> by IKEA which I've painted in mint green. Oh and my beloved sheep skin rug is from a farm in the North of Sweden.<br /><br />Just one little thing worth noting - while we were painting we realised it was best to leave a border at the top of the wall and also on one of the edges leading out into the rest of the room - definitely worth thinking about if you're considering painting one of your walls in a strong colour.<br /><br />Oh and I am wearing a veeeeery cosy <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=101&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6279809&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208525&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=20" target="_blank">new knit from TopShop </a>which I can warmly recommend for blustery Autumn days like today!<br /><br />Eeeek, hope you like the result, always nerve racking posting my own pics (plus it could take quite a few layers to paint over it again)! Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's the weekend, yay! And two exciting things today - firstly, a friend sent me a link to this beautiful loft for sale in Malmö, Southern Sweden through <a href="http://www.erikolsson.se/" target="_blank">Erik Olsson</a> (<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/09/white-light-and-bright-in-stockholm.html" target="_blank">again</a>). She thought it would be right up my street with the white walls and floor and the touches of natural wood and the mirrors (oh it is, Malin, it is!). I love the way the mirrors bounce light around the home and create a feeling of space, beautiful! Such great inspiration for the weekend!  What do you think?

Somewhere you could see yourself pottering around? Second home in Stockholm perhaps?!! <br /><br />One of my little girls is sick today (poor lamb) so I'm at home looking after her. This morning I lined the <a href="http://www.jollyroom.se/varumarken/a-d/chariot-nytt/chariot-dubbelvagn-cougar-rod.html" target="_blank">Chariot</a> (we love our chariot - it can go behind a bike, be used as a push chair and in the winter it even hs it's own set of skis!) with a sheep skin rug, wrapped her in a cosy blanket, surrounded by cushions and took her for a stroll in the nearby park to take in the Autumn sunshine. It wseems to have done the trick as she has just appeared in her 'dancing dress',  ten hair clips and pink leg warmers.... it must be the Swedish sea air! <br /><br />This afternoon we're planning on making an apple pie with the apples from my friend's garden....any recipe link tips?!! <br /><br />Have a lovely afternoon!
