House for Mother

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Good morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend (and enjoyed my rare <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/04/a-light-and-relaxed-amsterdam-home-and.html" target="_blank">Sunday home tour</a>). It's so gloomy here in Southern Sweden today but it's OK because I've a beautiful project to share! 'House For Mother' (great name?), is the brainchild of <a href="http://www.f-a-f.se/" target="_blank">Förstberg Arkitektur</a> as their contribution to the <a href="http://wp.linkopingsbo2016.se/" target="_blank">Linköpingsbo 2017</a> housing exhibition. While the outside will be constructed of raw corrugated aluminium, the inside will be designed using exposed timber and walls lined with plywood to add warmth. This is definitely going to be categorised under my '<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search/label/fabulous%20architecture" target="_blank">fabulous architecture</a>' label! What do you reckon?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9uvYIe2WuDIF5y_THmhKgFH9D2Jz59afTfMDWdkBmwCrPRtFLAd1vl0n5Q-zelXtT9sJYoHefgfXitwWSlbBlbtzuuhtAzVzvzzKmd4of4D_gqgFISfCCpB5lgUmbcL3yafC5WA6a44/s1600/hm1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9uvYIe2WuDIF5y_THmhKgFH9D2Jz59afTfMDWdkBmwCrPRtFLAd1vl0n5Q-zelXtT9sJYoHefgfXitwWSlbBlbtzuuhtAzVzvzzKmd4of4D_gqgFISfCCpB5lgUmbcL3yafC5WA6a44/s1600/hm1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIsFhsW-tfedMsea2PX3OhsqO78vCJdvCbK7MTbbAvpBrBje9Y1JZBLvmSZYU4Q8auMu6saePa3Ue3H356V0p_ZCL4uHn-M3era_1vsSMNLjp23j3WZkHQricS181zopLypbChVVO-HU/s1600/hm2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIsFhsW-tfedMsea2PX3OhsqO78vCJdvCbK7MTbbAvpBrBje9Y1JZBLvmSZYU4Q8auMu6saePa3Ue3H356V0p_ZCL4uHn-M3era_1vsSMNLjp23j3WZkHQricS181zopLypbChVVO-HU/s1600/hm2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1STjpIlrR6sJbfsCUDf55Lr1djkkFMOsL1MMC_RJ6wus_ga62I64LwemNnlrRh-Q62KELnHGeizxeRR3xWtHv_9frHU9EFIjSvoY1A37XSHKFDLOLjUv9pBsdnq1hy-oHLYgGEqTHio/s1600/hm3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1STjpIlrR6sJbfsCUDf55Lr1djkkFMOsL1MMC_RJ6wus_ga62I64LwemNnlrRh-Q62KELnHGeizxeRR3xWtHv_9frHU9EFIjSvoY1A37XSHKFDLOLjUv9pBsdnq1hy-oHLYgGEqTHio/s1600/hm3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggF-ZvmtFWgiLZfe-YpNDrsNvk4k57uM9M129olKLAd-DSU4L0i1FAUpdWeroVeZXs5AzdtuHOBv6JOxRRcBeXtXh4u3FKcdcTmJWILXOpsMH4W834pl2dn3ww0CJGQjSe7hTcQNi1a24/s1600/hm4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggF-ZvmtFWgiLZfe-YpNDrsNvk4k57uM9M129olKLAd-DSU4L0i1FAUpdWeroVeZXs5AzdtuHOBv6JOxRRcBeXtXh4u3FKcdcTmJWILXOpsMH4W834pl2dn3ww0CJGQjSe7hTcQNi1a24/s1600/hm4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMgNS8AJd_5kQXl1p7iwoOPNwFzxE1VmVfRO1zUbSBesnL_cnIsHVtvkZaVNOvyLXXcq7f8rGyTeYCzZ8wk__Ur7OZxYvVzTO-vPcgyfjiTXpI8tDPiekZUgvnTRbHCIpVo28_ae3esDE/s1600/hm7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMgNS8AJd_5kQXl1p7iwoOPNwFzxE1VmVfRO1zUbSBesnL_cnIsHVtvkZaVNOvyLXXcq7f8rGyTeYCzZ8wk__Ur7OZxYvVzTO-vPcgyfjiTXpI8tDPiekZUgvnTRbHCIpVo28_ae3esDE/s1600/hm7.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/AVvXsEiFM09Fltk38KEmtDXYYjTgzN5_z-ZmXG53C00E3v_A6gF4raCHVCWMxSXNDyvWxhbLZeNqcNJf4-7L549IO3t0_LgR1M534OjuWlrsdrz7rHmZQT8-l2zKNVqjs-E2uAO5gdSeIDI_xBA/s1600/hm6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFM09Fltk38KEmtDXYYjTgzN5_z-ZmXG53C00E3v_A6gF4raCHVCWMxSXNDyvWxhbLZeNqcNJf4-7L549IO3t0_LgR1M534OjuWlrsdrz7rHmZQT8-l2zKNVqjs-E2uAO5gdSeIDI_xBA/s1600/hm6.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.f-a-f.se/" target="_blank">Förstberg Arkitektur</a> via <a href="http://lamaisondannag.blogspot.se/2014/04/house-for-mother.html" target="_blank">La Maison D'Anna G</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />I'm a big fan of plywood (more inspiration from <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/01/a-smart-and-wonderful-small-living-space.html" target="_blank">this</a>,<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/06/bang-on-trend-malmo-home.html" target="_blank"> this</a> and<a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/07/stunning-apartment-in-monochrome-and.html" target="_blank"> this </a>home) although I  haven't channeled this in my own home.

The serene white and wood home of an architect

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello Monday! I hope you had a great weekend?! Sometimes it's so great to realise that the most beautiful interiors are often also the most simple (and small!).  The Barcelona home of architect and graphic designer <a href="http://www.labuhardi.com/" target="_blank">Marina Senabre Roca</a>, is the perfect example of this and such great inspiration for compact living. Marina has stuck to a serene white and wood combination throughout her one room apartment which creates a feeling of space and a beautiful oasis in the midst of one of Spain's most vibrant cities.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQfwW04UvXI6TKlHN3T9WmRCjvG8kxvcYhM40r9Gdjm0qlbBf156VmMxlX7QgIoLI_mnry81JQi4tOWGGdtX9zR8iHpgk8AdbAwKGtwwluVU8gL_3pKKMudjBX79TV_UxJMQaiwObIU5w/s1600/LN7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQfwW04UvXI6TKlHN3T9WmRCjvG8kxvcYhM40r9Gdjm0qlbBf156VmMxlX7QgIoLI_mnry81JQi4tOWGGdtX9zR8iHpgk8AdbAwKGtwwluVU8gL_3pKKMudjBX79TV_UxJMQaiwObIU5w/s1600/LN7.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3IxnLeeo-aSbildW1Iku1GPUJrwJxMkHyE7LeUH2PENl7eFTICEx5_k0cZ_NJb04rqPcYFV56N4paajSOVB5XJzt_5of2cken4_Ps1nSyg_IXr5bGEzUFd4Be1-Sqo1UZhbB1gB1dGGo/s1600/LN1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3IxnLeeo-aSbildW1Iku1GPUJrwJxMkHyE7LeUH2PENl7eFTICEx5_k0cZ_NJb04rqPcYFV56N4paajSOVB5XJzt_5of2cken4_Ps1nSyg_IXr5bGEzUFd4Be1-Sqo1UZhbB1gB1dGGo/s1600/LN1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjas2appCKITs5hSqGQO8I5bKRi80NxpNOY2kcOmeEJwvmhjq4rcWsOZKliIfvyRvCQLnfIoV3-9BgQY3OfcdIXwFS2tkCB4I4PFaTVrOX7bYe6PSq0V10qZWwsd_h99mTFgKTtuMzLd4M/s1600/LN3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjas2appCKITs5hSqGQO8I5bKRi80NxpNOY2kcOmeEJwvmhjq4rcWsOZKliIfvyRvCQLnfIoV3-9BgQY3OfcdIXwFS2tkCB4I4PFaTVrOX7bYe6PSq0V10qZWwsd_h99mTFgKTtuMzLd4M/s1600/LN3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvrxtHXq08zILt75kkhf0gEBtfeC0lJ07HbugXw2Kf67LTUnmyiI1HRcB1_q8_JVULWyKAXa8JenVt0MYKnVlYxtbXJu2yxemK8VhicZAnwpDrQU5HKzvCR1VKzM_8H-muaQ-I5Y-WOI/s1600/LN4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvrxtHXq08zILt75kkhf0gEBtfeC0lJ07HbugXw2Kf67LTUnmyiI1HRcB1_q8_JVULWyKAXa8JenVt0MYKnVlYxtbXJu2yxemK8VhicZAnwpDrQU5HKzvCR1VKzM_8H-muaQ-I5Y-WOI/s1600/LN4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7v56-xEWqC0wSCiW7oMCUozIEdadKtJ24aOCniTh8G-_AWolAqhiPnnOqB8qY1mGaLE5IyElgqxRP0CLh_ZkhLfZf8kpBLjbR-x5koZ0R7jo6gr1UdppI6pOptl8uLX0r_buVASPwLk/s1600/LN5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7v56-xEWqC0wSCiW7oMCUozIEdadKtJ24aOCniTh8G-_AWolAqhiPnnOqB8qY1mGaLE5IyElgqxRP0CLh_ZkhLfZf8kpBLjbR-x5koZ0R7jo6gr1UdppI6pOptl8uLX0r_buVASPwLk/s1600/LN5.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/AVvXsEhSsI7kWsgCqPSHN2AInlkAworU-YkXea3eupMp-ZKyJtOxC_CCNWR-WYP35Fzq3dXCpI3c6OEP3F7Dzg1EepSLWkVviUmbXbugg3gdoAD95KoaG5YntsAm55Ncg6J9b8OnRkhcrxhIf_k/s1600/LN6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSsI7kWsgCqPSHN2AInlkAworU-YkXea3eupMp-ZKyJtOxC_CCNWR-WYP35Fzq3dXCpI3c6OEP3F7Dzg1EepSLWkVviUmbXbugg3gdoAD95KoaG5YntsAm55Ncg6J9b8OnRkhcrxhIf_k/s1600/LN6.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.labuhardi.com/" style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Marina Senabre Roca</a> - <a href="http://www.labuhardi.com/" target="_blank"> La Buhardi </a>via<a href="http://luanordblog.blogspot.com.es/2013/11/en-casa-de-la-buhardi.html" target="_blank"> Lua Nord</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So beautiful don't you think?

A stunning Dutch home blending old and new. And give-away winner....

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful weekend? I ended last week with a <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/11/a-touch-of-autumn-in-stunning-dutch-home.html" target="_blank">Dutch home tour </a>and this week I'll start with one too (talk about going Dutch!). This one hundred year old farmhouse owned by Rosemarijn van Zandvoort of <a href="http://skattejaktstudio.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">Skattejakt</a> (check out her beautiful<a href="http://skattejaktshop.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank"> shop</a> and <a href="http://skattejaktstudio.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">blog</a>) has been carefully restored using a blend of old and new.

White and wood home in Lomma

Hello! Back to something Scandinavian today and closer to home in the Southern Sweden west coast village of Lomma. This pretty white and wood home has been photographed by <a href="http://daniellawitte.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">blogger</a> and <a href="http://inredautreda.se/" target="_blank">interior shop</a> owner <a href="http://inredautreda.se/om-oss/" target="_blank">Daniella Witte</a> for <a href="http://magasinetnyahem.skanska.se/2012/04/halsa-pa-hemma-hos-naturligt-ombonat-i-lomma/" target="_blank">Nya Hem</a>.

Ariele has a fab shop called <a href="http://brooklyntowest.blogspot.com.es/p/s-h-o-p.html" target="_blank">Brooklyn to West</a> where she sells the <a href="http://brooklyntowest.blogspot.com.es/p/t-h-e-t-b-l-e-s.html" target="_blank">furniture she makes</a> out of reclaimed wood. If her apartment is anything to go by I'm all over that shop like a wood saw (errr).

Danish knock on wood

In Scandinavia wood floor is obviously a huge part of any interior space. So I am often being asked what type of wood floor to go for, usually a tricky question. But today I think I have the answer -<a href="http://www.dinesen.com/" target="_blank"> Dinesen</a>. This Danish wood floor company does everything right. The distinctive wide wood planks made from Douglas Fir are simply stunning. And it helps that the spaces are too!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLWQBBPuezApxHcIHwm_Og-2crVMV7YuQXeVw58uhZ08qNaECLnqiiGPYGyBW8s9gBTBxIeXZWzze0IJUEQwhF25LD66l2rVV1y2oDyarq1KtIzE9fsj2_eFfW6usGFd1_DKrFuPJkoi8/s1600/dinesen1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
