Beautiful Home Interior

A relaxed monochrome apartment in Malmö

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's the weekend! Yaaaaay! To celebrate I've chosen an apartment close to home. This space feels so familiar as many of my friends have lived in similar pads in Malmö. There's something beautiful about the high ceilings, original wood flooring and double doors thrown open between each room. I also love the relaxed style and monochrome theme....if you're thinking of moving to Malmö it's for sale <a href="http://bo-laget.se/objektvy.php?id=1156" target="_blank">here</a>!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My home captured by Karin: dressing room

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As promised, today I'm introducing the first in a mini weekly series called 'my home captured by <a href="http://karinbjorklund.com/" target="_blank">Karin</a>'. While we were away recently my photographer friend <a href="http://karinbjorklund.com/" target="_blank">Karin Björklund</a> (who also took my profile picture) spent the day in our home and took lots of lovely pictures. It's fascinating to see how someone else sees your home. I call this room 'my dressing room' since this is where I have my dressing table, keep all my clothes and like to swan about, wafting perfume, reading magazines and generally acting like the movie star I am not! But the rest of my family call it the guest room or TV room....:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir0b3EG_ogjz-9Moh0ZXcei93cd_sa3_4aWB1IkklkLGxxVZZq830cd74lbGILrmtrfKsdrsYJtvlSFJmRDFDda-f2KcFwDGMfS7Ph1eAhB5ROPWFA5eRXeZTFuqx0bcNZQAPWVlod6T4/s1600/Niki-26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir0b3EG_ogjz-9Moh0ZXcei93cd_sa3_4aWB1IkklkLGxxVZZq830cd74lbGILrmtrfKsdrsYJtvlSFJmRDFDda-f2KcFwDGMfS7Ph1eAhB5ROPWFA5eRXeZTFuqx0bcNZQAPWVlod6T4/s1600/Niki-26.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-G5fr_erw0r2ucWDxFJtd_UyYBG5mdhVX5PQWnY4gc5DebJkY2dcH3SsAwnhYSaCf5i3JG1Z1tfiwZKHAy0jnIfXk2ZLnTD3xlVi5TL2-DXJ1jGEZPvZD9WcLraNstFGu4_3e76wgGbM/s1600/Niki-47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-G5fr_erw0r2ucWDxFJtd_UyYBG5mdhVX5PQWnY4gc5DebJkY2dcH3SsAwnhYSaCf5i3JG1Z1tfiwZKHAy0jnIfXk2ZLnTD3xlVi5TL2-DXJ1jGEZPvZD9WcLraNstFGu4_3e76wgGbM/s1600/Niki-47.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FE4WELBoI4Cw0IbNwbrLMDRFwoLr76bp7ySgf-NTMEYpXCfwMfH2WSmieZSfiNDemKTjdnz9huvjzYy7FDu56DBUvbgI5Uv4XB59MquzE1KnISvaHuZM86r_OpwiVagzoBLA9oMat6o/s1600/Niki-48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FE4WELBoI4Cw0IbNwbrLMDRFwoLr76bp7ySgf-NTMEYpXCfwMfH2WSmieZSfiNDemKTjdnz9huvjzYy7FDu56DBUvbgI5Uv4XB59MquzE1KnISvaHuZM86r_OpwiVagzoBLA9oMat6o/s1600/Niki-48.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_uKDS7nZjxhEtscoVfRs9YLgw5H9-69S5hTMtzuTU85bgu4j0csq_FxpGvGfYqk6oZnC2fSALVsMSiKYTJPjBs3TdvRF5v5zCNq5SwqKZzqxLJAV2x34t3lRKS8fddf3qP30zknN7Ew0/s1600/Niki-49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_uKDS7nZjxhEtscoVfRs9YLgw5H9-69S5hTMtzuTU85bgu4j0csq_FxpGvGfYqk6oZnC2fSALVsMSiKYTJPjBs3TdvRF5v5zCNq5SwqKZzqxLJAV2x34t3lRKS8fddf3qP30zknN7Ew0/s1600/Niki-49.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://karinbjorklund.com/" target="_blank">Karin Björklund</a> for My Scandinavian Home</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>As a guest room it looks like <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/03/my-black-and-white-bedroom.html" target="_blank">this</a> (it used to be our bedroom).

White, cognac and blue in a Swedish apartment

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I look at this apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden I think fresh, relaxed and warm.  I'm also a long term fan of the colour scheme blue, white and cognac and not many do it better than stylists and estate agents <a href="http://www.alvhemmakleri.se/" target="_blank">Alvhem</a>. I could certainly see my self padding around here and reading a book in one of the pools of light, couldn't you?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

White, cognac and blue in a Swedish apartment

When I look at this apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden I think fresh, relaxed and warm. I'm also a long term fan of the colour scheme blue, white and cognac and not many do it better than stylists and estate agents Alvhem. I could certainly see my self padding around here and reading a book in one of …

A rustic retreat on Sweden's west coast

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This converted barn and tower in Korslid, near Bottna, on Sweden's west coast is the country home of writer and journalist Kenneth Kauppi, gardener Catherine Thelander and their family. Recently featured in <a href="http://tidningenlantliv.se/2013/08/22/tornet-ar-mitt-eget-nybygge/" target="_blank">Lantliv</a>, the family have lovingly renovated the farm buildings over 25 years to create a beautiful rustic open living space and studio. The family love to stay in the summer to relax, swim and kayak in the archipelago, explore the great open spaces that surround the house and generally take some downtime. I can certainly see why!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCP7rzY42BnZSgesVIlC_uE0AEeYOVIzc5Wp1RjTpbWy5PrfZBCSHvoVMUA55KIvbI7K9OHi8AujZzTsYM7N55kxzZzxOoDoRyt-IaIoOAI8nCLvU3m_cUq0BmITMV0_GSL0A3h7u-Yg/s1600/LL1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCP7rzY42BnZSgesVIlC_uE0AEeYOVIzc5Wp1RjTpbWy5PrfZBCSHvoVMUA55KIvbI7K9OHi8AujZzTsYM7N55kxzZzxOoDoRyt-IaIoOAI8nCLvU3m_cUq0BmITMV0_GSL0A3h7u-Yg/s1600/LL1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3m7XoV6YRDhT8n6M4JnFC0GPWI-5gXRBylZ_cEPJkyTM-6MJ351LTZigdIIksROQWoy_2YXf1iqpkhpncHelamIsPYxWqgOD2sK7pnt-uJHZqKfI6XYCk8AciWqsygBGSvRjVMCU1mM/s1600/LL2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3m7XoV6YRDhT8n6M4JnFC0GPWI-5gXRBylZ_cEPJkyTM-6MJ351LTZigdIIksROQWoy_2YXf1iqpkhpncHelamIsPYxWqgOD2sK7pnt-uJHZqKfI6XYCk8AciWqsygBGSvRjVMCU1mM/s1600/LL2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmlj-qANNW8e8AqwxxMYixpf1Ss17NJgobuHtZxfRtIczLCjlZfqL4I_7PU79Zf_1hyphenhyphen8E1EIjPe7GCcnqb92FWyM4uod51awJOgtQQwq7NP3MBTmTQEbdSondenQEv3ueWOqSY8eg8P-o/s1600/LL3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmlj-qANNW8e8AqwxxMYixpf1Ss17NJgobuHtZxfRtIczLCjlZfqL4I_7PU79Zf_1hyphenhyphen8E1EIjPe7GCcnqb92FWyM4uod51awJOgtQQwq7NP3MBTmTQEbdSondenQEv3ueWOqSY8eg8P-o/s1600/LL3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2YA8NV5etQj96RbRGtF1zllUVBrhvsU0cXy00jnRqs3kQdGctK006N9qZ8ZBIW2PsEfQvsR3pnZsLi7VwiWrpaTlA7UQ87AWmJ16e6O_YwRb4JnaqxGuEWp_7lz6hYxBF5Jpb9hTg8E/s1600/LL5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2YA8NV5etQj96RbRGtF1zllUVBrhvsU0cXy00jnRqs3kQdGctK006N9qZ8ZBIW2PsEfQvsR3pnZsLi7VwiWrpaTlA7UQ87AWmJ16e6O_YwRb4JnaqxGuEWp_7lz6hYxBF5Jpb9hTg8E/s1600/LL5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYlUvY77Ul8jRga-K5He6Bkr9V0TOajMmPRX730Kyl35xuKaqLw4h3NdzqYrAP9oOx_1LZL03zqELbkWQconvYk4NBhaHvbEjAjnf8OIR3KXtIyM5qVX6ywoHvnz10zXmIsUToAIds-U/s1600/LL6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYlUvY77Ul8jRga-K5He6Bkr9V0TOajMmPRX730Kyl35xuKaqLw4h3NdzqYrAP9oOx_1LZL03zqELbkWQconvYk4NBhaHvbEjAjnf8OIR3KXtIyM5qVX6ywoHvnz10zXmIsUToAIds-U/s1600/LL6.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijAyYCJ-3K5CPhhRq3BmCf8_Q-3indFqES2E6X758wsWUP-8lHiBS3DX-TGkDXSxdc31CbMLay4_q5sS3dpmXkAGZWXA3DGlRaQ9tMRfDbZsmUOg2s1RISqFBnOOXtWCkFrUAZLzstfKw/s1600/LL4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijAyYCJ-3K5CPhhRq3BmCf8_Q-3indFqES2E6X758wsWUP-8lHiBS3DX-TGkDXSxdc31CbMLay4_q5sS3dpmXkAGZWXA3DGlRaQ9tMRfDbZsmUOg2s1RISqFBnOOXtWCkFrUAZLzstfKw/s1600/LL4.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photographer <a href="http://www.fotografpatricjohansson.com/" target="_blank">Patric Johansson</a> with kind permission.<a href="http://tidningenlantliv.se/2013/08/22/tornet-ar-mitt-eget-nybygge/" target="_blank"> Lantliv</a>.</td></tr></tbody></table>Such a lovely rustic retreat, I especially like the art work what about you?

My dream cottage would never be without......

Hi, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend?  Admittedly I spent some of Sunday thinking about how I could go about acquiring a Swedish cottage in the woods! I realised I've nailed two things about this future cottage and how I would renovate it. 1. it will be mostly white inside and 2. it will have a wood burning stove.  Here's my inspiration.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqbsKfjetXSzj4T6qTXsV3g74YdQARicSuMoa8lrcionneA7xcH6R85t2tej2o9cEZuhrPPvdmBmjU0tYUZ793A2mPDAHd1Xv3j8gPLIO6_RX40QSSg30ZLt6OZMUmka6-4ZgPIKcCjE/s1600/wbs5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqbsKfjetXSzj4T6qTXsV3g74YdQARicSuMoa8lrcionneA7xcH6R85t2tej2o9cEZuhrPPvdmBmjU0tYUZ793A2mPDAHd1Xv3j8gPLIO6_RX40QSSg30ZLt6OZMUmka6-4ZgPIKcCjE/s640/wbs5.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGxr9iL3RDTeh0WsUdahFZfdgdpdwq_6Mkiq6KdYuAAp5WJ5akJJ1bSFZ8ZqkYRPkjEn3cr_GCp020smb98sXoeOxu6oFRQkH4JXxJJmi2buI3_VNs-ziSjIXu5pEB9zpx2GW96_CHyc/s1600/wbs2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGxr9iL3RDTeh0WsUdahFZfdgdpdwq_6Mkiq6KdYuAAp5WJ5akJJ1bSFZ8ZqkYRPkjEn3cr_GCp020smb98sXoeOxu6oFRQkH4JXxJJmi2buI3_VNs-ziSjIXu5pEB9zpx2GW96_CHyc/s640/wbs2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipWqVueEHhjOGgXWa68xgVprA1oyvgOmE4222kseW-wDdLUX8XLhknnnYM3W_zC3lZhu1eMjGqUW9QftmHFGF_b47_v-Yr4duh9eZmoBzDlZHZ1zf-kH75IL5l_S_mQ5e9zP-NcYF6BoU/s1600/wbs3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipWqVueEHhjOGgXWa68xgVprA1oyvgOmE4222kseW-wDdLUX8XLhknnnYM3W_zC3lZhu1eMjGqUW9QftmHFGF_b47_v-Yr4duh9eZmoBzDlZHZ1zf-kH75IL5l_S_mQ5e9zP-NcYF6BoU/s1600/wbs3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHE2DsMpAjAqChV1R4NRX8XjaeDIvUZBL2NEmiCeMT0yxVV6iMQVcrIVXQRd5a8NU8kWrKKfNS9CC4Zq6E6kkm7stHdCXmsZjQHP7rZOlQGlkR4606I6He8ILxH788vV69JwQfF_RcrQo/s1600/wbs1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHE2DsMpAjAqChV1R4NRX8XjaeDIvUZBL2NEmiCeMT0yxVV6iMQVcrIVXQRd5a8NU8kWrKKfNS9CC4Zq6E6kkm7stHdCXmsZjQHP7rZOlQGlkR4606I6He8ILxH788vV69JwQfF_RcrQo/s640/wbs1.jpg" width="454" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://lineklein.com/" target="_blank">Line T Klein</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">. 2.

A Danish take on Autumn 2013

Hello Friday! Yay! I've had such an inspiring week, I hope you have too! Now, I'm not sure if I dare say the word....Autumn. There I've said it. For some reason I used to feel all nostalgic with the feel of a slight chill in the air but these days I feel a little bit sad that summer is over, does anyone else feel that? (I guess you guys in the Southern hemisphere are thinking yaaaay Spring!!!).  But today the chill in the air is warmed just a little by the new autumn/ winter collections that have started to fill my mail box. And one of my annual favourites is Danish brand <a href="http://www.tinekhome.com/" target="_blank">Tine K Home</a>.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpvBWoG5_2XaohizpjMqGYXEQPImCEUi6F81Z37NGYd8Q3fePGFXHYnYgzk63VuxbWUHNTAN7HBafsll9bG7W0UXPrAFbjWEM8J9XeYJ6s14iMAORtXU8iDVheVQcg5j7V0pJgfBSC2Ls/s1600/tK6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpvBWoG5_2XaohizpjMqGYXEQPImCEUi6F81Z37NGYd8Q3fePGFXHYnYgzk63VuxbWUHNTAN7HBafsll9bG7W0UXPrAFbjWEM8J9XeYJ6s14iMAORtXU8iDVheVQcg5j7V0pJgfBSC2Ls/s1600/tK6.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAy3gqrEMpx6k7Uws8IvgwjE-EuxVBMUIsaqSby7o65eFxXycCjKghS56tZvPzd0vy6lQltq8N2zjkjZvIha2nk8UHlpMHXyicPvTJBdIhi8jNncuKeENtpC5QNTDhSYGU90klsCNhe8g/s1600/tk1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAy3gqrEMpx6k7Uws8IvgwjE-EuxVBMUIsaqSby7o65eFxXycCjKghS56tZvPzd0vy6lQltq8N2zjkjZvIha2nk8UHlpMHXyicPvTJBdIhi8jNncuKeENtpC5QNTDhSYGU90klsCNhe8g/s1600/tk1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgiLXKTe-sqI0_oAg7Zi77mXb_pH-TfXVJK6DsB70cmUEE2oG34Yk9nrwOIkRR3RV_brhAFSSfNr9Z0gZ-nCbyqhBf4mNJ1MuB4jS7YV7INUo9caV_1OoOCmO8l19H0jpeAYxPJWIg3Y/s1600/TK2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgiLXKTe-sqI0_oAg7Zi77mXb_pH-TfXVJK6DsB70cmUEE2oG34Yk9nrwOIkRR3RV_brhAFSSfNr9Z0gZ-nCbyqhBf4mNJ1MuB4jS7YV7INUo9caV_1OoOCmO8l19H0jpeAYxPJWIg3Y/s1600/TK2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilEo87E7RfB1IJBtlORl5RbC3lEXyn4b-kAhp8__vT6ZVvEF5jgzlexIxadAP9HWqUkHFWYReewr9vLckE6C2ucmKpzvrw3Q2t7EcV3Pl32V2-ydoXS_AXEuK_6QWdDpNdYGkOfZ622UU/s1600/TK3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilEo87E7RfB1IJBtlORl5RbC3lEXyn4b-kAhp8__vT6ZVvEF5jgzlexIxadAP9HWqUkHFWYReewr9vLckE6C2ucmKpzvrw3Q2t7EcV3Pl32V2-ydoXS_AXEuK_6QWdDpNdYGkOfZ622UU/s1600/TK3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilL9JBZYXGhq_-jAloRXf97F0CK64pu9RBAMlrvvF7qQekqkzya94lcgwdblJ7B041Pr7xxU-Kfth5EnLmbuniPipQON72qRg7rSI3c5X5bPWqdBHmEVQ9wo3ALq-xHcjtPWqRv4p2SKQ/s1600/TK4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilL9JBZYXGhq_-jAloRXf97F0CK64pu9RBAMlrvvF7qQekqkzya94lcgwdblJ7B041Pr7xxU-Kfth5EnLmbuniPipQON72qRg7rSI3c5X5bPWqdBHmEVQ9wo3ALq-xHcjtPWqRv4p2SKQ/s1600/TK4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DXzlmvLGVVK2sVqFBDopoyBzPXfUHFZBKUlGQPLj4pXrct5zmLshNEE13NSJNPu52hruKNB7WIYw35cgrekGXDhF2ZXjWvwHiFRkdCO_xohIdyOTgVp6yOJ2M1A1UeDeLdJ2KUe6Ke8/s1600/TK5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DXzlmvLGVVK2sVqFBDopoyBzPXfUHFZBKUlGQPLj4pXrct5zmLshNEE13NSJNPu52hruKNB7WIYw35cgrekGXDhF2ZXjWvwHiFRkdCO_xohIdyOTgVp6yOJ2M1A1UeDeLdJ2KUe6Ke8/s1600/TK5.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tinekhome.com/" target="_blank">Tine K Home</a> via <a href="http://mykeminutter.blogspot.com.es/" target="_blank">myke minutter</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />My neighbour has a black and white striped vase just like the one shown and it looks beautiful in their home. </div><br />PS I mentioned yesterday that I've been attending <a href="http://mediaevolution.se/theconference/?gclid=CLf-xfmdk7kCFRMgtAodxQgA_w#!/" target="_blank">The Conference</a> in Malmö.

A Danish take on Autumn 2013

The Row house. And the creative power of boredom.

Newly built mid-century cool housing is not something you would usually pair with 'affordable' but that is exactly what this housing project 'Row on 25th' in Houston, Texas set out to achieve. Investor and landowner Holden Shannon's own home was decorated with the help of designer Barbara Hill. I love the choice of vintage mid-century furniture starting with that fab turquoise sofa, very cool.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZVxmUdRcA4BiprFR6bBmj6G4lvIJ6ZNvIJj6q1ZR4XRohkjvjxIFydlyK_RVMyEhM-FXzmnduyaOiYUSYH68Us8tCJj-iZ0IB_-ST_SL__ygS5RkPTt-HgTZP2G-ziYrOGbf_hv4Qhg/s1600/RH1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A cute Swedish family apartment

Hello, how are you today?! I've been in a rush since I woke up (I think it's one of those days where I'll always be one step behind). Sorry if this is a bit rushed but i really wanted to share this home currently for sale in <a href="http://www.stadshem.se/ViewAllImages.aspx?gid=OBJ24162_1280123476" target="_blank">Gothenburg, Sweden</a>. What strikes me most is the children's room for two. It's so sweetly laid out I can just see the little ones chatting away in their beds or drawing along side each other at their desks. Oh and OK, the Bumling light in the kitchen is a bit of a favourite too.....<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2elB5vjQZU77kA5V5FIF6fo2UO2X6o7nJIRC-lDDHLY5USapl0_d0-ynRaJh8jpCmwE1bg_iMI7yHQKg6nLjRIQ8eVfBLvMaiy31M9bj2Kdek4JifC9jrfp3WqekQX6ZUkuX5pY5EGPY/s1600/NB1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2elB5vjQZU77kA5V5FIF6fo2UO2X6o7nJIRC-lDDHLY5USapl0_d0-ynRaJh8jpCmwE1bg_iMI7yHQKg6nLjRIQ8eVfBLvMaiy31M9bj2Kdek4JifC9jrfp3WqekQX6ZUkuX5pY5EGPY/s640/NB1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PMIVvnFS5RHDbMVi6yh2KOL62NNSzo6pRoPxsWxoXD1KAiM2kogYE1XjQIzzEuO6_3Jt-dKYdnQACT5p6DjjexV4X_izThf3FNV8a8I_zbQdParyzZGE8w1O44QCQS4gIjui_cbWvns/s1600/NB2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PMIVvnFS5RHDbMVi6yh2KOL62NNSzo6pRoPxsWxoXD1KAiM2kogYE1XjQIzzEuO6_3Jt-dKYdnQACT5p6DjjexV4X_izThf3FNV8a8I_zbQdParyzZGE8w1O44QCQS4gIjui_cbWvns/s640/NB2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmG16HMGJc9d8NNcYyxCU3bCcgQbqGcvKM6Q3PhWsHWjBkJFw_nfoH8sD-Pi_vlRaVEBj2vuLJjy3ognuF7BhXQ0K2XY8ugE4v1Kpb9bpifdLqssX6LnYEGTypmq7FcxzhyM4yAzgW-w8/s1600/NB3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmG16HMGJc9d8NNcYyxCU3bCcgQbqGcvKM6Q3PhWsHWjBkJFw_nfoH8sD-Pi_vlRaVEBj2vuLJjy3ognuF7BhXQ0K2XY8ugE4v1Kpb9bpifdLqssX6LnYEGTypmq7FcxzhyM4yAzgW-w8/s640/NB3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOn0uHmojVEGn2oHx4Yf_MEL0ssbCHsiN8Baea064LpyreXZbvpQVExlMz8h6bzC0p4QCfpls8q62rthswUQbechj7BTHvsZgf3Q4h5It3Ty4xOleFAB0IqPvIAf2E3ABhboPBHB7mrc/s1600/NB5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOn0uHmojVEGn2oHx4Yf_MEL0ssbCHsiN8Baea064LpyreXZbvpQVExlMz8h6bzC0p4QCfpls8q62rthswUQbechj7BTHvsZgf3Q4h5It3Ty4xOleFAB0IqPvIAf2E3ABhboPBHB7mrc/s640/NB5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9VQQAKVWhd5aSMfyNHC4XCFHNndybZbqrZdai9tWqIDlR1dX32j90ZTBXWDideIWogsouaB5P5CVoVugCLxRKR9-2Gr0D55vLNTmD_TXWem4fQakzPV1wcwMxSJv57OwZyBkAlgaIG1I/s1600/NB6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9VQQAKVWhd5aSMfyNHC4XCFHNndybZbqrZdai9tWqIDlR1dX32j90ZTBXWDideIWogsouaB5P5CVoVugCLxRKR9-2Gr0D55vLNTmD_TXWem4fQakzPV1wcwMxSJv57OwZyBkAlgaIG1I/s640/NB6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqT_dzbIF3NDST2PnKuLTCE2bhhcyE4-365YgUAUWkbV3xgbFwSSmA7CY2KrpVaYjK2mJmuenRbJAQvHlDvdRTwqYmuoFSTcCN1p3O2exgYOo7W46VR_l1dDCFnJw_yjoQK3LSZ4iX_IQ/s1600/NB7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqT_dzbIF3NDST2PnKuLTCE2bhhcyE4-365YgUAUWkbV3xgbFwSSmA7CY2KrpVaYjK2mJmuenRbJAQvHlDvdRTwqYmuoFSTcCN1p3O2exgYOo7W46VR_l1dDCFnJw_yjoQK3LSZ4iX_IQ/s640/NB7.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stadshem.se/ViewAllImages.aspx?gid=OBJ24162_1280123476" target="_blank">Stadshem</a></td></tr></tbody></table>The clothes in the bedroom are such a useful styling tool. I recently had a photo shoot in my home (can't wait to share more with you soon) and I could really emphasize the look and feel I wanted by taking a few select items from my wardrobe. Perfect!
