The wonderful home of a Danish stylist

It's Friday! Yay! This weekend I'm taking the girls out to the forest to enjoy a little of the Southern Sweden countryside. It's almost customery to take 'korv med bröd' (hotdogs) and bbq them alfresco. Wish me luck with that last bit...! Since I'm cruising towards a very Swedish weekend I thought I'd go all Scandinavian today with this beautiful home of Danish stylist Rikke Graff Juel which I found via the wonderful Scandinavian design blog La Maison d'Anna G.

I really love this home, there are so many beautiful Danish classics, and they make great style look so effortless.  What did you think?

The good news is, this Danish homeowner also has a blog called Ellens album, so there'll be plenty more inspiration to cruise around this weekend!

Have you got any nice plans for the weekend?

A beautiful white Danish home

Now, there's nothing I love more than a white home. I live in Scandinavia after all. And this Danish home is the eptiome of white lovely-ness. I especially love the wooden floors. We have recently white washed our dark oak floors and our house has become so light and airy because of it. Next step - beautiful mid century furniture like in this home....

A Swedish black and white home with a lovely mix

Susann from Purple Area blog once told me if you would like to find a beautiful home, always look at the home of interior design bloggers (Suzann's home looks wonderful by the way, you can see pics here). The latest Plaza magazine also proves this with the home of the blogger behind the great blog 'Hannas Room'.......

The home has such a lovely mix of furniture, with modern items from IKEA such as the MINNEN extendable children's bed (I've got it for my little girl in white and love it) and beautiful mid-century vintage pieces like the dining room chairs. The bulb fairy lights are likely from Swedish shop Granit as are the white storage boxes shown above. And look.....it's shoes on display again... wonderful!

Copenhagen apartment true to it's heritage

Hej hej! This morning I wanted to share Frederik Nellemanns apartment with you. It's full of so many interesting pieces. 250 metres squared in Copenhagen filled with Danish design classics. My favourite room is the bedroom which is light and airy and has a raw wood desk - just so lovely.

Home with a touch of mid-century Danish

Hejsan hejsan! There's a freezing cold wind rattling at the windows here this morning. So, I thought we could transport ourselves to California (nice thought huh?!) and the home of Morgan Satterfield of The Brick House who has taken inspiration from Danish design among other things.

Not my usual style but I do love the neutral and minimalism and the quirky paintings, and of course the mid-century Danish touch. what do you think?  To see more pictures and a complete interview click here.

PS I'm considering buying my little girls a dolls house for Christmas but after seeing Morgan's home-made one I feel nothing else can compete....you must check it out here!

The scandinavian job - Milan apartment

Morning! Hope you had a lovely weekend?! You'd be forgiven, in your foggy monday morning state for thinking that this pad was in Sweden, or Japan for that matter. But it's actually in Milan. I love the mix and the way it all comes together.

So, 'Tomten' (Santa) Latté time. Tip: if you live in Skåne, Sweden and have an espresso house nearby don't try a tomten latté. You'll be having one everyday until Christmas.

Back in a bit!

Surround yourself with beautiful pieces

Morning and happy 'lilla lördag' (little saturday) as it's known in Sweden as everyone should go out and have a mid-week drink. Not for me unfortunately, so instead I am mentally transporting myself to one of three apartment suites in the Azzedeine Alaia hotel in Paris....

The rooms, designed by Yatzer, have carefully selected the furniture and lighting and kept everything else minimal so that you can enjoy its beauty and your stay. Oh and I would Yatzer, I would. It also supposedly leaves room for the guests own creativity. What do you think? Something for the weekend? Or to stark for your tastes? Read more about it here.

Have a cosy evening!

As you know, I have a penchant for white, and this room's no exception. Through the lovely dividing windows you get a glimpse of two vintage Louis Poulsen industrial lights which I am currently trying to track down for my own home. Just lovely. Have a great evening!
