Malmö Modern
Hej hooo! A few weeks ago I was in shop heaven when I visited Malmö Modern which sells amazing scandinavian designer items and a few fab international pieces too including a selection from the very wonderful Scottish designer Donna Wilson. The good news is they've just opened an online shop too (sorry...Sweden only). As you'd expect, the owners have a very cool home which I thought I'd share with you. A cream bun for the person who can spy the most designer items?!!

It's a public holiday here today so we're heading off sailing for the day. It's a little choppy but hopefully that'll just add to the fun....! Have a lovely day. x

Our Spring Mantle (Two Ways)
Hi all! If you've been reading along for awhile, you know we don't have a fireplace or a mantle in our house, but the console table in our entryway has functioned as a little display area over the years. Right now, we're showcasing some lime green in honor of Spring! I've styled our table two ways, I'm curious if you prefer one over the other.
Our first vignette features family photos and things in our home which have a way of playing musical decor (like the Target runner and jar from Home Goods, which were previously on our breakfast table).
I've got some faux blossoming branches in the jar next to my favorite, inexpensive green apples ($1 each) from WalMart. We typically have fresh fruit on hand in the kitchen which always adds a nice splash of color to the room, but here in the entry, I like the pop of color the faux apples add.
My favorite recent find is the ampersand I got at Target. It's hollow and adds a cute bit of character. I'm sure at a later date it will look great in one of our bookcases or in my office.
Then, because I'm actually not crazy about all the dark wood (mirror and console), because I think it looks and feels too heavy, I traded out the framed photos for a propped up Made By Girl "LOVE" print, which obscures the chunky wood mirror some.
I like the simplicity of the second table, but the family photos are a nice personal touch to come home to. What do you think?
The area is constantly in flux, so there's no right or wrong answer:)
You might remember last Spring, we had a simple arrangement of huge sunflowers in our entryway.
And last summer, our mantel was full of sand and shells.
Our Nativity Scene stayed here at Christmas.

10 Monday Mix and match
Sometimes renovating my home feels like a complicated puzzle and some pieces simply won't fit. I've been scratching my head over the dining table and chairs for ages. Should they be a set of Eames? Wegner? IKEA? A simple rough wooden bench? And then my friend Sofia came over at the weekend and suggested a complete mix. YEEEESSSS!! It's so much easier to find a vintage bargain of just one piece too. Here's my inspiration.....I can't wait to get started!
I found all of these lovely pictures on Pinterest. And I feel incredibly guilty that just for the next couple of hours I'm going to have to credit them through my 'Fine Dining' board. But as soon as I find a quiet moment (I am at home with my two little girls this morning who are 3 and 1!) I promise to come back and credit each photo.
See you shortly and Happy Monday!

ART I TEIXITS DE COLORS
Art i teixits de colors brillants i calids per trencar la monotonia del blanc,
una opció que il·lumina i amplifica els espais d'aquesta casa.
PASTÍS DE LLIMONA
Refrescant, suau, lleugera, dolça en la seva justa mesura.

Batre a velocitat 4 durant 15 segons i llest. Retirar la pasta brisa del vas de la Thermomix i fer una bola amb ella sense grapejar massa. Embolicar amb film transparent i deixar-la a la nevera durant una hora perquè prengui consistència.
Passat aquest temps ja es pot estendre la pasta brisa amb el corró amb la mínima fricció possible perquè no adquireixi temperatura.
