A Skåne apartment with a lovely autumn feel

Hello October! What a lovely month. One of my favourites in fact, how about you? These images, by the very talented Skåne duo Emma  Persson Lagerberg (stylist) and Petra Bindel (photographer) have been doing the blog rounds lately. I first spotted the feature in Swedish department store Åhléns's magazine last month. The way this beautiful apartment has been designed and styled perfectly sums up the Autumn mood don't you think? I especially love the green, grey and brass theme in the sitting room and the kitchen's pretty cool too?!






Stylist: Emma Persson Lagerberg. Photographer: Petra Bindel. For Åhlens. Via 79 ideas and Nordic Design with thanks

Oh so beautiful. Is this your kind of style?

You can see more examples of spaces Petra has photographed herehere and here.

If you find yourself in Sweden (or Norway) definitely pop into an Åhlens, they have such a great home-ware and women's clothes section selling fabulous Swedish fashion labels such as Hope, Filippa K and Acne.

Have a lovely day!

White Swedish apartment with great art

This Gothenburg apartment caught my eye this morning, it's just what I'm in the mood for! White wood floors, fun artwork, beautiful arched windows and a standard hydrangea in the bedroom - why not?! I could work all day from that table by the window, how about you?!








Stadshem with thanks
I see a few lovely items including: the G playtype print, HAY tray table and DLM (Don't Leave Me) table, Thonet 214 chair, Sheepskin rug, HAY dot hallingdal cushion. Find vintage industrial pendant lamps on etsy. Hmmm, what else, what else?!

Could you pad around here today?

Have a lovely day!

A black, beige and pink Stockholm apartment

Hello! I hope you had a great weekend? I thought I'd start the week with this very cool apartment in Stockholm designed by Pella Hedeby and Marie Ramse  (you must check out their blogs!) for JM. The clean lines and black, grey and a hint of beige /light pink colour palette have been used to highlight the beautiful architecture (by Gert Wingårdh) and create a serene feel. I particularly love the colour on the walls in the sitting room and in the children's bedroom, how about you? And what do you think of the black walls in the bedroom? I think they're kind of striking.












Interior: Pella Hedeby & Marie Ramse. Architecture: Gert Wingårdh. Photography: Kristofer Johnsson

The children's bedroom palette reminds me a lot of a top from Stockholm based brand Mini Rodini my little girl tried on at the weekend (so cute!).

Could you live here?

This weekend my family and I visited Kungsbygget which is about an hour's drive away here in Southern Sweden. The countryside was stunning (there's a pic of our bbq spot on instagram). Kungsbygget has a 1 km zipline (terrifying but so much fun!!) and a summer bobsled run which my girls absolutely loved. If you're ever in this area I can highly recommend it, it's such a fun place. In the winter it's open for skiing too. Do you have anything like that near where you live?

Have a wonderful Monday!

Fall Decor by Bloggers


After our soccer game on Saturday, I pulled out my two bins of Fall decor to get started making this home feel more like the cozy Autumn days we're starting to have.  I didn't get too far in decorating, but managed to change up a few pillows in the living room.  The ideas are still brewing. . . .  Then, on Sunday, I joined Better Homes and Gardens Pinterest board "Everything Fall" and wanted to share a few of my very favorite Fall Decor pins with you.  Sometimes I get stuck in my small blog world, but seeing all these homes with gorgeous Fall decorations makes me want to share with everyone how much talent and goodness are still in blogs!  #iheartblogs Please visit the original source, which I've linked to.  You may find some new blogs to fall in love with!






Emily A. Clark's fall front porch.  Emily is so good at "design simplified."  It's her tagline after all! 







Craftberry Bush made the coolest feather wreath out of book pages.  And the cloche styling is fantastic- love the beautifully layered neutral tones.  







Bliss at Home adds warm gold metallics to her fall decor- a woman after my own heart.  






Dwellings by Devore sets a gorgeous fall table with a cool piece of driftwood and inexpensive flowers in mason jars.







Just A Girl turned her kitchen sink into a happy Fall place to do dishes.







At Home with The Barkers shows that less is more with their Fall mantel. 






The Wood Grain Cottage's welcome sign blows me away.  There's a tutorial on the blog.







The Golden Sycamore embroidered this pillow and shows you how.  







Perfectly Imperfect.  Just wow. 







Sand and Sisal made this perfectly rustic Fall wreath and shares the step-by-step process.
