Verano en azul / Summer in Blue

¿Que tal la vuelta del fin de semana? ? El mio ha estado lleno de azul de un cielo espectacular y luminoso,  y del azul del mar mediterráneo.

Happy Saturday!


Happy Saturday friends!  I don't know about you, but I am so ready for this weekend- it's been a long week!  We're off to enjoy the sunshine and pool today and I have some fun home projects in the works.    Hoping to make the most of this weekend! 





If you get a chance, I'd love to hear your mom's best advice to you, and you can share it HERE.  I shared mine! :)

A beautiful Brazilian beach home

There are several continents I've never been to and one is South America. I've been dreaming of visiting Brazil for years and now that I see this ethereal rural coastal home (via Etxekodeco) I have to turn my dream into a reality!! I love the combination of floaty whites and rustic with cool vintage finds and modern art.

Could you imagine spending your spare time here?!

Speaking of spare time, next week the Swedish holidays have officially begun - yaaaaaay! It'd be rude not to do my part so I'll be joining in by spending lots of time with my wonderful family.  I'll still be blogging but since we'll be moving around a little I might have a few problems with internet so bear with me (after Shanghai I'm not taking any chances!).

Before I head off, I had to share with you an exciting mention on the blog of Sweden's wonderful interior magazine Sköna Hem who chose My Scandinavian Home as blog of the week. Tack team Sköna Hem!

I hope you all have a wonderful couple of days, see you Monday!

Inspiration from Muuto, Copenhagen

Hello everyone! Last week I visited the new Muuto headquarters in Copenhagen where I met some of the talented Scandinavian designers behind the latest products in the collection and understand more about New Nordic design. As promised here are a few pics......






My Scandinavian Home

Incredible headquarters for an incredible brand! The vignettes around the headquarters were arranged by my clever neighbour and her team from all the way to paris (ATWTP).

Head over to the Muuto website to take a peek at the new collection, or buy some of their fab products here.

Sorry again for the radio silence this week. I've been in Shanghai (amazing city!) and had no access to blogger or Facebook! I'm back in Sweden now, a little jet lagged but happy :)

Good to see you all again!

Gold Desk Ikea Hack

She had me at the big gold perfectly-spaced polka dots on the wall.  But then she went and made over an Ikea desk for about $50 and I nearly fainted.  Check out this perfection.











My friends, if you haven't been to Just Bella blog, you really need to pay a visit.  Christine is mama to this precious thing, which, in and of itself, is worth the trip.  One thing I really appreciate about Christine's design sense is her simplicity and ability to beautifully edit a space.  She's makes everything seem effortless and I feel like she spends a lot of time "in the moment" if you know what I mean.  Look at her creativity in styling her mantle for the holidays. Adding just a few things each season creates such a totally different look.
