A beautiful home shot by Peter Kragballe

Iiiiit's Friday folks! And while the rest of Sweden are preparing for 'Fredagsmys' (cosy Friday) I'm drooling over interior images by the wonderful interiors photographer Peter Kragballe who has shot for British magazines such as Elle Decoration UK. I'm loving this home in particular. Any guesses why?!

I particularly love the sudden flash of yellow on the mirror frame. I'm wondering if I should do this in my home - a sudden unexpected pop of neon perhaps?!

Have a lovely weekend!

A beautiful converted barn in white

Hej hej and happy Friday! I'm very excited this morning as I'm just packing for a mini skiing holidaywith friends - WOOOHOOOO! But before I head off I just wanted to leave you with this beautiful, calm white home in a converted barn, formerly an artist studio in Kent, South East England. It's now available for photo shoots through Foster House - but if I worked there I might just never leave!

All pictures: Foster House

PS if you *need* to see more of this beautiful barn, including pics of the outside check it out here.

Have a lovely weekend and see you when I return next Wednesday (complete with goggle marks?!).

Kram!

Bespoke furniture by Norwegian photographer Trine Thorsen

Hej hooo!! How was the weekend? Are you feeling as blurry eyed as me this moring?! If we think we've got a lot on, consider Trine Thorsen, Norwegian photographer, and now designer and producer (together with her boyfriend) of timeless, classic bespoke furniture including shelves, benches, wood storage etc. And when Trine isn't busy with that she's renovating her early 20th century Norwegian home. Phew!  Impressive! More projects anyone?!

If you're loving this furniture like I am, you can find out more info here. Have a lovely Monday! Klem! (as they say in Norway!)

A lovingly renovated Norwegian home dating back to the 1800's.

Morning! It's beautifully sunny here today and the sea is iced over as far as the eye can see BRRRRR! So cosiness (and charm) is the order of the day and this home has oodles of it! It's the renovated home of blogger Monica Bromseth of Karlottes Hjem and her family in Norway. Built in the 1800's the house has so much history, once the home of the community's first midwife,  it has also been the village post office and a general store! If walls could tell stories, this home could write a library!

Is this house fanstic or what? I LOVE all the wonderful vintage finds and that it's crammed full of unique ideas! very inspiring! Thank you, Monica for allowing me to share these pics of your home. Have a lovely Monday!

The fab Gothenburg home of a scandinavian design shop owner

Hej hej! Today I'm admiring this cool apartment in Gothenburg which is currently for sale (snap it up why don't you?!). According to La Maison D'Anna G blog it's the home of  design store and very cool web shop Aschebergsgatan 29 owners, where you can buy many of the items you see in their home. Dangerous! I love all the colours they have used and would love a 'filt cross' orange blanket like the one on the bed.

Spring has sprung with Danish online shop Tine K Home

Last Saturday I was invited to a viewing of the spring / summer 2012 collection from Danish brand Tine K Home at their Swedish showroom in Magasin 36, Höganäs. I had such a lovely time and LOVED the new Tine K Home collection. You must check it out at the online shop, if you're like me you'll really like the mix of greys and whites. LUSH!   It was also wonderful to meet the Tine K Home team - thank you Anita, Tine, Stine, and Sanna!

Happy shopping with the danish brand! Dangerous, but oh so worth a visit! Oh and I have been meaning to visit the shop Magasin 36 for ages which certainly didn't disappoint - so many FAB vintage / industrial finds, if you're in or around Höganäs near Helsingborg it's well worth a visit! Have a lovely day!
