This week I have been involved in yet another disagreement with my Mac and so work and life are behind and therefore posts as well. However, you know I like a quick pick-me-up and these were just the thing. I do love writing utensils.

Casa rústica costera / Rustic coastal home
Con la esencia de las casas de campo rústicas y un ambiente nostálgico y marino, así es esta casa costera
construida en 1930 , decorada con materiales naturales y una paleta de colores entre
el blanco y el azul del mar.
Una casa que desprende calor y sencillez a partes iguales.

Guest Bedroom Update with Pintuck Duvet
A few of my blogging friends and I are sprucing up our guest rooms this week and sharing a few tips to help you make your guests feel welcome when visiting. Our guest room gets used most often by my in-laws who live out of state, and I'm hoping my Grandma will visit soon too.
This beautiful white pin tuck duvet cover was provided by Crane & Canopy, a company known for their quality bedding, which is also pretty and affordable. I love how it makes the king bed feel like one you might find at a nice hotel with fresh white sheets. The duvet is 400 tread count, 100% cotton sateen, and very well-made. I kept everything else in the room minimal so that people will have a sense of fresh and calm while they are here. To add a little color to the room, I brought in a couple pillows and a throw blanket from another room.
A good pair of lamps is important for your quests, especially those who like to read in bed before falling asleep. I also like to sneak in and turn on the lamps at night so that when guests enter their room at night, a soft light welcomes them in. You could also light a candle. Fresh flowers are just nice and thoughtful. These grocery store daisies are inexpensive and last for about two weeks.
I always keep a clock, pen, paper, and coaster on the nightstand.
A welcome gift basket is always appreciated. I filled this tray with some of the basics: fresh fruit and chocolate, water, books, magazines, and a cell phone charger. I try to keep my guests' interests in mind when I choose the magazines and books.
It only takes a second to leave a message for your guests.
Some other things to be mindful of when having guests over is to leave space in dresser drawers and/or the closet for their clothes with extra hangers, fresh toiletries, towels and washcloths and perhaps a hairdryer if you have an extra one.
You can check out my friends' guest room spaces and tips also:

Tendencia macramé / Macrame revival
Si te gusta seguir tendencias, una de ellas es la del macramé, un arte de hacer nudos decorativos creando cenefas
con las manos, una técnica que tuvo su auge sobre los años 70 con accesorios como búhos o colgadores de plantas
y parece que entre otras cosas va a ser nueva tendencia para este año, sobre todo en murales de pared .
¿Que te parecen estas ideas?
Monday's home: shades of grey
Hello and happy Monday to you! I'm finally back in Sweden and despite the jet lag (although it's actually quite useful to be up at 4.30am!) it's lovely to be home. It's cold, grey and gloomy compared to Thailand and Singapore but sometimes that can be beautiful too. Take this apartment for example. Decorated in black, white and grey it's the oh so cool apartment of Josefin Hååg of 20 kvadrat photographed recently for Residence Magazine.
I am loving that it has the real Lotta Agaton stamp (check out another styling project by Lotta here and her own home). Lotta is my absolute favourite stylist of the moment, she has such a unique personal style. She is also a firm believer that grey will be the go-to colour for interiors in 2014 like in the home featured here.
What do you love about this home?
Oh and I have some exciting news: the book featuring my house: Design Bloggers at Home by Ellie Tennant launches in March. I can't wait to see a copy! I only hope there were no socks lurking under the sofa or something...!
And the second exciting thing is I'm holding a fab give-away here tomorrow so be sure to pop back for your chance to win.
Have a lovely Monday!
