A very cool Toronto apartment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you had a wonderful weekend? Did you get a chance to enter the <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/03/spring-give-away-t-shirt-soft-bed-linen.html" target="_blank">give-away </a>to win the t'shirt soft bed linen yet? This fabulous Victorian Toronto apartment belongs to John Baker and Juli Daoust and is located directly above their beautiful shop <a href="http://store.mjolk.ca/index.php?ishome=1" target="_blank">Mjölk</a> (meaning 'milk' in Swedish). -how's that for a commute?! You can definitely see John and Juli's love of all things Scandinavian and Japanese shining through and I also like the brown accents they've used throughout. I once featured<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/08/a-little-piece-of-scandinavia-in-toronto.html" target="_blank"> their cottage</a> on here which is equally beautiful but in a different way.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The happy home of Jenny Brandt

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Friday definitely calls  for colour. I've shown other images of this fab home<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/03/home-tour-pretty-in-pink.html" target="_blank"> before</a> and now new pictures have emerged in the wonderful April edition of<a href="http://www.homelife.com.au/magazine/inside+out" target="_blank"> Inside Out</a> magazine (available at <a href="https://play.google.com/store/newsstand/details/Inside_Out?id=CAowu8qZAQ&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm1hZ2F6aW5lLUNBb3d1OHFaQVEiXQ.." target="_blank">Google Play</a> and the <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/" target="_blank">Apple Newstand</a>).

Jenny and her family renovated the home from scratch, painting the floors (if you look closely, they're different throughout the house), adding more windows to create natural light as well as a unique personal stamp to everything within.

P and I have been invited to a 'Lost at Sea' themed party. We're thinking if going as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_Pi" target="_blank">Life of Pi</a> - with P as Piscine and me as the zebra (I <i>definitely</i> got the short straw didn't I?!).  The problem is we'd like to go for a pre-party drink in town and call me a party pooper but I'm not sure I'm willing to do that clad as a zebra? What do you think?  Other ideas welcome!!<br /><br />Also the clocks<i> finally</i> go forward this weekend. This definitely calls for a celebration so I'm throwing a very exciting give-away here on Sunday. Make sure you stop by - it's open to all!<br /><br />Have a very happy couple of days and see you Sunday!</div>

The happy home of Jenny Brandt

Friday definitely calls  for colour. I've shown other images of this fab home before  and now new pictures have emerged in the wonderfu...

The beautiful relaxed home of Anne Ziegler

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello, how's your Thursday? It's so grey here in Southern Sweden I am in desperate need for something to brighten up my day and I think I've found it in the form of this beautiful house.

The oh so cool home of a Swedish photographer

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Morning! This is the oh so cool home of talented Swedish wedding photographer <a href="http://theresewinberg.com/portfolio/" target="_blank">Therese Winberg</a>.

It's such a fabulous home I thought I'd better share it in case you missed it too?! The space is the perfect blend of old and new and teeming with the latest design trends (hello geometric kitchen floor, scallop fronted dresser, grey marble surfaces..) . There is so much inspiration from this place I'm not sure where to start, but I'll certainly be <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/" target="_blank">pinning</a> every picture!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The palatial home of a Stockholm stylist

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A Friday home needs to be just a little dramatic doesn't it? Something awe-inspiring that sets us in the mood for the weekend. I knew I'd found it when these images dropped into my inbox last night. This inner-city Stockholm apartment belongs to stylist <a href="http://www.joannalaven.se/" target="_blank">Joanna Lavén</a> who (represented by <a href="http://www.agentmolly.com/" target="_blank">agent molly</a>), her husband and two children.  The architecture itself is something of a masterpiece.
