Lilac and dusty pale pink for a calm home

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tjeeeena! Hope you had a lovely weekend? My little three year old and I visited <a href="http://malmo.hemochvilla.se/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d5a6bd;">Hem & Villa</span></a>, a house and home exhibition in <a href="http://www.malmo.se/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d5a6bd;">Malmö</span></a>. We had a great time, she because she got a sweet at every stand, me because I love spending the day with my gal AND I got some home inspiration at the same time! Peeerfect. This calm Monday morning I'm taking inspiration from some of these beautiful calm, serene spaces. Pastels are the shades du jour, and I couldn't welcome them more this spring!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><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/AVvXsEgadjRAZli4-fOkYGfFsrFlRCPNUhBgpE6sYLPsUc3TMVxyIvU-RE-B4r1Oa9hn-1jP9xROmAluJueVPop_kh7RbaHTfUkueAROHgbveMkQlI8R5TziUyBGdTB0Bak15eFSMv2AJxhptPM_/s1600/lilac1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgadjRAZli4-fOkYGfFsrFlRCPNUhBgpE6sYLPsUc3TMVxyIvU-RE-B4r1Oa9hn-1jP9xROmAluJueVPop_kh7RbaHTfUkueAROHgbveMkQlI8R5TziUyBGdTB0Bak15eFSMv2AJxhptPM_/s640/lilac1.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;">Interiör Magasinet</td></tr></tbody></table><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/AVvXsEiVqIQLkCjTMANfBF44sNps_LfWXVfXTohShHdFJ5wDFg2rxRRNMCShEivanm69PuWtI1mF_wMmKGd6wSgLRU4CSeUR9LUEeNo1HVZ7DmgdFUQb7XdTcmjInjgxqTKgOn0qbmL7lYZufSVp/s1600/lilac5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqIQLkCjTMANfBF44sNps_LfWXVfXTohShHdFJ5wDFg2rxRRNMCShEivanm69PuWtI1mF_wMmKGd6wSgLRU4CSeUR9LUEeNo1HVZ7DmgdFUQb7XdTcmjInjgxqTKgOn0qbmL7lYZufSVp/s640/lilac5.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Via<a href="http://ginger-snapped.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"> Ginger Snapped</a></div></td></tr></tbody></table><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/AVvXsEjqpeh2iYiTFFI2NUw1newfY7vDF1GzqiL_1i5CZ9xHbmZIQpCz8FrJx1gD5C3sNJYQjG8aiKx7WSQKmV-6A13Vo08qbQV1VSaZtOVm4acHEwH0XX0tN2I9HtFmaJhoDBd1tK1CzhetkIQX/s1600/lilac2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpeh2iYiTFFI2NUw1newfY7vDF1GzqiL_1i5CZ9xHbmZIQpCz8FrJx1gD5C3sNJYQjG8aiKx7WSQKmV-6A13Vo08qbQV1VSaZtOVm4acHEwH0XX0tN2I9HtFmaJhoDBd1tK1CzhetkIQX/s640/lilac2.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.rumid.dk/" target="_blank">Rum DK </a></td></tr></tbody></table><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/AVvXsEgl2xgiFmzENsiHFWFOshw8u-k_wvi2ZYjEOC-wXvKBhrKwnTUi0lpfYP_rwO9CNqWSyTckF4pRP1D04LW6F4WOCbqOnybk3gRX93cM4x_mEoiN_wjeFXiXDaIYeQZ5PqvfOnsXTr9bnbrB/s1600/lilac7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2xgiFmzENsiHFWFOshw8u-k_wvi2ZYjEOC-wXvKBhrKwnTUi0lpfYP_rwO9CNqWSyTckF4pRP1D04LW6F4WOCbqOnybk3gRX93cM4x_mEoiN_wjeFXiXDaIYeQZ5PqvfOnsXTr9bnbrB/s640/lilac7.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://honeypielivingetc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Honey pie living etc</a></td></tr></tbody></table><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/AVvXsEhAE6Ta0jUHRukGCbMA8TsUm81Qm_lRjM9D0pC3zTqaI8QtB7Ic9SqdHX6i0aqEI__j_G2zsDExgEKAApY0Ey4AkoW8e3o0okj80ezw1Y3R86E58SEdPg9teFiEpEViwjOXMcHcXZk2F_AW/s1600/lilac10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAE6Ta0jUHRukGCbMA8TsUm81Qm_lRjM9D0pC3zTqaI8QtB7Ic9SqdHX6i0aqEI__j_G2zsDExgEKAApY0Ey4AkoW8e3o0okj80ezw1Y3R86E58SEdPg9teFiEpEViwjOXMcHcXZk2F_AW/s640/lilac10.jpg" width="468" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What do you reckon?

A lovely little white Oslo apartment

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Iiiiiiit's Friday. Woop woop! And to celebrate I have to show you a beautiful all white Oslo home recently on the market. Those of you who know me well, know I looooove an white home. But this tiny (61 metre square) apartment also ticks all the other boxes of things I love too. Vintage. Fireplaces. Touches of Scandinavian modern. Wooden beams. And an open wardrobe. Luckily for my man this place has already been sold or we'd be packing for Norway!</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/AVvXsEhyW80xd2ak4BhtEMENQI-IbR_Pja6aqr5p5cSQshuFi5iLjtVAjCwCAff3Pn46g8OqM7ZeA3LTyJzc8AbjnAN0AVkQ1oYoJ1Hwvt2BRXdRe4j4fI8JSN639edEpyGVLhSqAcpJqjjwtahy/s1600/o1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyW80xd2ak4BhtEMENQI-IbR_Pja6aqr5p5cSQshuFi5iLjtVAjCwCAff3Pn46g8OqM7ZeA3LTyJzc8AbjnAN0AVkQ1oYoJ1Hwvt2BRXdRe4j4fI8JSN639edEpyGVLhSqAcpJqjjwtahy/s640/o1.jpg" width="426" /></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/AVvXsEit6c0QP_s8YvORC6J1-lb13vpgweo1YN14xXQayEIBk2CgWWvc7RbBOpkd554vN1GfVOM0txAEPqJQM0e2bCgqZ5s8gjMnwF0ZL6b7BeHx69qjY7vbBuJQKZZmxZe64ZtauVCtuHru24kq/s1600/o3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6c0QP_s8YvORC6J1-lb13vpgweo1YN14xXQayEIBk2CgWWvc7RbBOpkd554vN1GfVOM0txAEPqJQM0e2bCgqZ5s8gjMnwF0ZL6b7BeHx69qjY7vbBuJQKZZmxZe64ZtauVCtuHru24kq/s640/o3.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrG24PuzCcflVfC9roQMePfWXZIY70wrgLPEp0bNNgu-od2IXne1MOq41KqlzCeg6sfAdzGmMsUH4acW5ittJgJ4VgFWtBQpJ7M2U9K8L5i1nlGbvSiiXpz-qHwD7YEUvjs3QHprPbnL4V/s1600/o4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrG24PuzCcflVfC9roQMePfWXZIY70wrgLPEp0bNNgu-od2IXne1MOq41KqlzCeg6sfAdzGmMsUH4acW5ittJgJ4VgFWtBQpJ7M2U9K8L5i1nlGbvSiiXpz-qHwD7YEUvjs3QHprPbnL4V/s640/o4.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLjBf5g_skR67QyKe-oncATHPYEpIA_br9cCb1yPuU-dvpI0B_zE9xdlcmHD2ww6sa4ASmE5B00DDfpkplV3XLRp32JNyxwcd6tu75sdb4qoTI_v_kbiIpjC-pUft4xsEWUE97w208DSj/s1600/o5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLjBf5g_skR67QyKe-oncATHPYEpIA_br9cCb1yPuU-dvpI0B_zE9xdlcmHD2ww6sa4ASmE5B00DDfpkplV3XLRp32JNyxwcd6tu75sdb4qoTI_v_kbiIpjC-pUft4xsEWUE97w208DSj/s640/o5.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/AVvXsEjEhF_AWoqyXxtdspJ9kOvuk6oYm0okByEizgAjleADY2CTkgwnjAh7jL3HOKH8-E_ricS5pgJoTK9wN2QI1ceLIB95JacXBL5rXJC0faj_PKRInKGcG99QJ1E5a9zwlifw-3Z5MO8ZJLp_/s1600/o6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhF_AWoqyXxtdspJ9kOvuk6oYm0okByEizgAjleADY2CTkgwnjAh7jL3HOKH8-E_ricS5pgJoTK9wN2QI1ceLIB95JacXBL5rXJC0faj_PKRInKGcG99QJ1E5a9zwlifw-3Z5MO8ZJLp_/s640/o6.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.finn.no/finn/realestate/homes/object?finnkode=33279255&fb_source=message" target="_blank">Finn </a>Via the fab blog and web shop <a href="http://nordicbliss.co.uk/blog/2012/02/beautiful-apartment-in-oslo/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=beautiful-apartment-in-oslo" target="_blank">Nordic Bliss</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />What do you reckon?
