The sun's shining and I can see the sea sparkling in the distance (definitely heading off for a swim shortly!)....but first today's tour. Could you imagine anything more wonderful than living on a house boat at this time of year? Brought up in a sailing family, I was practically born on a boat and this would be my dream come true, but it does conjure up images of a rather dark, cramped living space. Not in this Dutch house boat captured by <a href="http://www.bintihomeblog.com/binnenkijker-heerlijk-wonen-op-een-woonboot-vlakbij-het-centrum-van-amsterdam/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binti Home</a> though. Located a mere 10 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam, Annelie (co-owner of <a href="http://www.norrcollection.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bynorr.nl</a>), Hans and baby Scott's home is flooded with natural light. The self-designed open-plan space is uncluttered with fresh white walls and pretty pastel accessories. The only real hint that it's afloat is from the water seen from the living room window. Such a lovely family home, don't you think? <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKduDHQ4Q2zl38B6GZTzQxkqQ33r66vfRQH5CLpcYjDeCADf1feRUU7fh-GT_iTbqqRMwpxjbFpeeDRLx5ECu-OMhRGTIwUvvfsWGl4a7CI2SA1aMUJ9hVVWViIWqP8AKDWEBib1H32RM/s1600/AnneliesAmsterdam1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

How about you?<br /><br />I love the cute children's room too. For similar inspiration it's well worth popping over to fellow Malmö blogger <a href="http://www.pauletpaula.com/" target="_blank">Paul et Paula</a>. My favourite online children shops right now are <a href="http://theyoungsters.se/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Youngsters</a> (owned by my talented interior designer friend Genevieve who also lives in Malmö and who I recently collaborated with on <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/12/my-little-girls-and-their-new-bedroom.html" target="_blank">my little girls bedroom</a>) and British/Swedish brand <a href="http://indikidual.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Indikidual</a> (Syreeta used to live here too!) - so lucky to be surrounded by such talented people! <br /><br />There are a load more pictures of this lovely home plus a full write-up over at <a href="http://www.bintihomeblog.com/binnenkijker-heerlijk-wonen-op-een-woonboot-vlakbij-het-centrum-van-amsterdam/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binti Home</a> and <a href="http://www.flairathome.nl/fijn-wonen/binnenkijken/waanzinnig-fijn-wonen-op-het-water/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flair Magazine</a> (in Dutch). <br /><br />For more inspiration from Holland this weekend (after all, the Dutch do have such a great sense of style don't they?) there's an entire archive <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search?q=Dutch&published-min=2012-01-01T00%3A00%3A00" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> (scroll through the first one as it's most likely this home). <br /><br />Have a wonderful couple of days and for those of you in America...long weekend! <br /><br />PS if you fancy a dip this afternoon but have no where to go - you can always imagine yourself relaxing in one of these <a href="http://www.laminutedeco.com/2014/07/10-piscines-de-reve.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beautiful swimming pools.</a> <i>Love! </i> <i> </i></div>Avthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05802632373289828408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870909334691820237.post-73404654381044733922015-07-02T04:24:00.000-07:002015-07-04T02:37:28.642-07:00The perfect items for a calm zen-like home<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Don't you love it when you're on the hunt for a design piece and then find out it's actually a readily available high street find? This year I've had the privilege of spending a few days at the IKEA headquarters. I must say, the design team have really come up trumps this year and it was pretty hard to focus on the new upcoming collections - all I could think was 'I <i>need</i> these items in my life'! My two favourites being the <a href="http://ikea.today/tag/sinnerlig/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SINNERLIG</a> collection which has been designed in collaboration with the talented <a href="http://www.studioilse.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Ilse Crawford</a> and focuses on natural materials such as cork, bamboo and cotton to create a zen feel. And the second; <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_GB/ikea-collections/skogsta/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SKOGSTA</a> is a collection of classic kitchen and dining items made of solid acacia wood designed to age gracefully.

This has become one of my favourite months since moving to Scandinavia. When the sunshine comes out, there's no where I'd rather be and today's a <i>ripper</i> (I took <a href="https://instagram.com/p/4jambmR7Tp/?taken-by=myscandinavianhome" target="_blank">this pic</a> in Helsingborg yesterday, can you believe it?!). To celebrate I'm going for a home tour with a tropical vibe. And <a href="https://theweddingnest.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoe Dent</a> of <a href="https://theweddingnest.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Wedding Nest</a> has achieved just that. Her light and open plan Australian beachside pad in Avalon, which she shares with partner and new born baby, reflects her love of nature and the seaside. The interior is decorated using a neutral colour palette and the varying textiles and textures add depth. Wall to ceiling windows and plants bring the outside in to form a wonderful oasis of calm. <i>Let's take a look...</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiMMmCeBhXkBExoF-fuaaSiT-lWU3ts_OeA0iQcfIEBCc9A4IdYdReaZsW7H0WWV99_-B2-pqRMsE_FllxQ0PxQ5Xp8J0C90xNNk9OhHbWpWVb0yCnpkGd9YkrPATGKj3P1Zo7Jf0kCDg/s1600/hannah_blackmore_interiors_white.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiMMmCeBhXkBExoF-fuaaSiT-lWU3ts_OeA0iQcfIEBCc9A4IdYdReaZsW7H0WWV99_-B2-pqRMsE_FllxQ0PxQ5Xp8J0C90xNNk9OhHbWpWVb0yCnpkGd9YkrPATGKj3P1Zo7Jf0kCDg/s1600/hannah_blackmore_interiors_white.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZS-t5QL1UJxvBu7fTd4BztvD_Tjgy2o27mBviJIqc9700pH-7PpcVSRnaUF9AifVKKr8deAZ_aFSvJr-2IHLpDyvLK691XoZqpyrc5hGbBU75MnvpN370r3jcMTwhR5eKgebfdXDpvlY/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZS-t5QL1UJxvBu7fTd4BztvD_Tjgy2o27mBviJIqc9700pH-7PpcVSRnaUF9AifVKKr8deAZ_aFSvJr-2IHLpDyvLK691XoZqpyrc5hGbBU75MnvpN370r3jcMTwhR5eKgebfdXDpvlY/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1321.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXiYzORM-qJWFANfMgjlIoQS156yxwx4jrEEg_TWIHwFaIWBNQzVtCHJMqx0EnNAP0OUKPazWFWevvnsXY5w6v4QBFtEYsqhGfbGE4FZ9eqDVaZ6Al9keKCQwqpbugKZZb81FCzvOr3A/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXiYzORM-qJWFANfMgjlIoQS156yxwx4jrEEg_TWIHwFaIWBNQzVtCHJMqx0EnNAP0OUKPazWFWevvnsXY5w6v4QBFtEYsqhGfbGE4FZ9eqDVaZ6Al9keKCQwqpbugKZZb81FCzvOr3A/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1322.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik3KJFiwO1iQLXR4ykzLvDLntGqqKAHXQZtT5YnYEXdU0MpsFq0XQc2AuzlizZ55mbln1d3VupFrVyd3u2o0XdVilJE7qYLa5leHYy3UxsqOB1r1bF0T18eTA22WDjwEXbrdjTe-YogTA/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1323.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik3KJFiwO1iQLXR4ykzLvDLntGqqKAHXQZtT5YnYEXdU0MpsFq0XQc2AuzlizZ55mbln1d3VupFrVyd3u2o0XdVilJE7qYLa5leHYy3UxsqOB1r1bF0T18eTA22WDjwEXbrdjTe-YogTA/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1323.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0wl4bU-os8Y6TGNbkkTg192UMto2CPjxqu-rPBTIXg4aVH83BFUjjiT-PRVDTTSpgRyz4_hBf4aQUAuGPrRzAOkaIYOsRnaSW1RHxGzFJABLbNxXdkCZqQQKSg49Av5GKZqe5fMrYFk/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1325.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0wl4bU-os8Y6TGNbkkTg192UMto2CPjxqu-rPBTIXg4aVH83BFUjjiT-PRVDTTSpgRyz4_hBf4aQUAuGPrRzAOkaIYOsRnaSW1RHxGzFJABLbNxXdkCZqQQKSg49Av5GKZqe5fMrYFk/s1600/hannah_blackmore_photography_adorehomemagazine_interior_photography_wedding_nest_1325.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photography: <a href="http://hannahblackmorephotography.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hannah Blackmore</a> (shared with kind permission).

According to one article this will tell you where your passion lies. And this is what led <a href="http://annajones.co.uk/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anna Jones </a>to quit her office job one grey day and start a chef training programme at Jamie Oliver's <a href="http://www.fifteen.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fifteen restaurant</a>. Since then Anna's gone from strength to strength having worked at restaurants such as <a href="http://www.le-caprice.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Le Caprice</a>, cooked for rock stars, royalty and the G20 at downing street, as well as shaped the meals at east end schools and people suffering from obesity. Anna now works as a <a href="http://annajones.co.uk/styling" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">stylist </a>and food writer out of her Victorian town house in Hackney, East London where she created her first book: <a href="http://annajones.co.uk/books" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A modern way to cook</a>, a collection of yummy healthy vegetarian recipes. Her creativity shines through in the way she's decorated her home too: artfully mixing designer, antique and bespoke pieces. The white wood floors and walls give way to vibrant pops of yellow and blue, resulting in a pared-back, fresh and light home. Let's take a peek inside....<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1bhElhX2uRBRdaljPtv8LZn1rpA9QYjZLEBcdL57p7WrPACfiuoya3WLbq0XTYN_dKRT2uxStYkUSRmJh-6NsCd3-EfZP9_ZOs2fEO9exzjUQQhpYMbvgR3FnxK2xY9c2J5g9QWvkXQ/s1600/Anna.Jones.14.04_071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Some will go abroad, some to summer cottages. And some wile away the long days at a '<a href="http://www.lifeedited.com/a-case-for-building-more-small-inexpensive-vacation-homes/" target="_blank">kolonistuga</a>'; a small cottage on an allotment. This pretty, pared-back kolonistuga just outside Gothenburg, belongs to <a href="https://instagram.com/elinlannsjo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Elin Lannsjö</span></a> and her boyfriend Viktor who enjoy relaxing summers bare-foot, tending to their garden and <a href="http://www.elinlannsjo.blogspot.se/2015/06/midsommar.html" target="_blank">entertaining friends</a>. When it comes to decorating, Elin relies on her gut feeling, selecting items made from natural materials such as wood, stone, cermics (including her own creations) and natural colours. What a truly idyllic space! Could you spend your summer here?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGuSoaEtM5mHkzofTGqJU7dncdCUm5rIunkGp2yxqSmGgoiFUuY8qCVfP3a2odT_ZaFPWYAtBxlX4saa6kE_RaSRnrL-Ww2uTG7U9NQ0KHp_cenV6scGtM9w4778So-Tjn5dybcHDMRY/s1600/elin1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I thought I'd celebrate with a flash of colour. Do you remember this striking Dutch <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/05/a-home-with-red-floors-results-are.html" target="_blank">home with red floors</a> which we were all pleasantly surprised about? Well the <a href="http://ucarchitects.com/" target="_blank">architect </a>and <a href="http://www.muzus.nl/en/" target="_blank">industrial designer</a> owners have since moved and opened up their wonderful home as a guest house. The '<a href="http://hostelthehague.com/" target="_blank">hostel in The Hague</a>' was furnished by <a href="http://www.avenuelifestyle.com/simple-styling-with-vintage/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Holly Marder</a> (in record time!) and the result is a bright fun space with cool vintage finds and a boho vibe. If I find myself in this Dutch city I know where I'll be staying, how about you?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjXxANKeCP51yY632eMCH401LTtzaoTagoSGVsGjpLUy1KnxcchTTQpQqs78DtMMK1osxuupLF2SkV1jM8Uuso9cPDs4Omt1Kuf25hvQCJwNK-DoDhs-GbbBc5N-djWKp6HAUSLSgfEw/s1600/IMG_2395.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I hope you're having a great week? It's back to Sweden for me today (in fact I'm writing this at Amsterdam airport waiting for my connecting flight...<i>more coffee please</i>!). The homes so far this week have been in the USA (<a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/06/a-cool-monochrome-space-in-brooklyn-new.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/06/a-calm-white-house-in-catskill-mountains.html" target="_blank">here</a> in case you missed them), so I decided it's time to head back to Scandinavia and take inspiration from this lovely grey walled Swedish apartment.The industrial look could be very cold without the lovely warm wood table, chairs, stools, shelves and even a clothes rail in the bedroom (potential DIY project for the weekend?!). What a delightful, calm space, don't you think?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjttgNV8P8-u8_y6Ml83V4NTNheqY205gFD_lClDGoTf244OXOVJVNYW6nBLD0F5etSgR5VakV_Ql66vkk1rMF1PscHCJEE1mJ0ZJYeYSuD3t1x_imUreFULcU7kLmLCPykqrfJOrVG14A/s1600/AH1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I'd love to think everyone has an apartment as cool as this one. Located in Brooklyn, the space was designed by <a href="http://bhdmdesign.com/" target="_blank">Dan Mazzarini</a> for owner Joe Mazias and combines accents of black, white, grey with cognac (one of my favourite combinations). Spot the half painted wall and black ceiling, pretty cool, don't you think?!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We've had such an incredible time on our Upstate New York house tour. The home owners couldn't have been more welcoming (with <a href="https://instagram.com/p/4OunKZx7V3/?taken-by=myscandinavianhome" target="_blank">breakfasts</a> and <a href="https://instagram.com/p/4P9uAkx7XB/?taken-by=myscandinavianhome" target="_blank">snacks </a>straight from their farms, big smiles) and the nature was beautiful (snakes, deer and chipmunks by day and fireflies which twinkled like stars at night)! One of my favourite places was the catskill Mountains so I thought it'd be apt to post a home tour from there today. The house belongs to <a href="http://www.jmgenerals.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">J.M Generals</a> store owner Jeffrey Monteiro (who also designed <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/12/all-that-glitters.html" target="_blank">this fabulous dress</a>) and film actor Clayton Dean Smith in Peakville, Western Catskills and recently featured on <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2015/06/a-catskills-home-with-more-history-than-meets-the-eye.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Design Sponge</a>. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's in Scandinavia with it's lovely painted white floors. What a great home, don't you think?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0ksYKLhZbjeyUyx_tkGpFNM7sT8bbYFxf3lHOi5jtrBEFGw2eicextJZ32rNlSpxWHlqN5Rhoo8g5mNEh_qHm0wVmie2CZTcMJHKwuVKXkCVmWlT46JYs6176xnTywuEdgSDwbmNL7s/s1600/Jeff1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The creative duo own and run <a href="http://www.crosby-studios.com/about/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crosby Studios</a>, a resource for design concepts and creation for everything from architecture, interiors and furniture to websites, posters and books. You'd be forgiven for thinking their apartment's in Scandinavia with it's monochrome scheme and touches of wood. The look is warmed by vibrant kilm rugs - which contrasts with the grey painted parquet floor. And the furniture is a beautiful blend of vintage, mid-century, retro and modern. What a cool home?!

It could be anything from <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/07/glamping-cornwall-style.html" target="_blank">camping</a>, or an overnight stay in the <a href="http://www.centralhotelogcafe.dk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">world's smallest hotel</a> to a long weekend in a beautiful <a href="http://style-files.com/2015/05/15/the-travles-files-5-columns-riad-in-essaouira-morocco/" target="_blank">Riad in Marrakesh</a> (here's me hoping!!). Naturally, my travel radar has gone into over drive (cue hours on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/travel/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>). And then I came across <a href="http://www.hotelhenriette.com/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hotel Henriette Rice Gauche</a> in the Mouffetard district of Paris. Hotel Henriette is a new boutique hotel with thirty-two individually designed bedrooms created by interior designer <a href="http://www.lesnouveauxdecorateurs.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vanessa Scoffier</a>, as well as a vintage winter garden and a library. If you're looking for bedroom inspiration, this post is for you! Better still, if you're going to Paris, could this be your home from home? Let's take a peek inside.... <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBdHSwOI_HgolPOeZPUM8ezDHORttoyLbigB2Bo331PLNzuWVxAhwSRF73gZkk-4Z6xlLgVDYMFFViDrTHuXxzB2MoEcurXC9M29PPmwD1WSdwvO6JktmxRV2uPenRkbtfMxf8TIk5Lg/s1600/hotel-henriette5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

A good hotel for a surprise weekend with P?!<br /><br />The most inspiring thing about these rooms (for me) is the paint. I thought geometric / half painted walls were reserved for a modern-cool look. But seeing the bedroom painted half and half in pastel green and pink makes me think it could be the route to a pretty, romantic boudoir. I'm of course loving the vintage finds and retro pieces too.<br /><br />Is there anything that stands out to you?<br /><br />Other dream hotels on my hit list include this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/01/a-little-piece-of-paradise-in.html" target="_blank">little piece of paradise</a> in the Philippines, and a <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/06/little-touch-of-paradise-on-mykonos.html" target="_blank">beautiful oasis</a> on the Greek island of Mykonos. *sigh*, <i>imagine</i>?!<br /><br />More bedroom inspiration <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search/label/Bedroom?&max-results=20" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/bedroom/" target="_blank">here</a>. <br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />PS I'm on a whirl wind tour of New York right now for my book - so exciting!

I hope you had a great weekend?! Out of interest, do you follow any food blogs? I've been pinning yummy looking recipes on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/food-savoury/" target="_blank">food board</a> for a while now (admittedly most involve either eggs or avocados!). I recently started following Swedish food blogger, journalist and editor <a href="http://www.waltzingmatilde.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Waltzing Matilde</a> (delicious recipes by a Swede in english - <i>what's not to love?</i>!) And today I'm really excited to be able to share a sneak peek into her wonderful home styled / captured by <a href="http://tinahellberg.se/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tina Hellberg</a> and <a href="http://idhalindhag.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Idha Lindhag</a>. The first thing I noticed of course - is her love of blue, which is evident throughout. it creates such a cool, calm effect and works beautifully against the reds and pinks. She's furnished the home with a lovely mix of Swedish antiques, mid-century finds and items collected on her travels. What a lovely home, don't you think?<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lWSlQmCE-qYX2eOHmoVLNPKgyaLLYHsK4lboSNyADWa4ThOXchmpG4tZbRpppIMftZMTTQsRUZCUXRICcVTUKH6kyAdG2byIHBnISMKll5qQnzMf5vS5aG0vHotCiO5DrNqC5soyxBI/s1600/Gotgatan.10914112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lWSlQmCE-qYX2eOHmoVLNPKgyaLLYHsK4lboSNyADWa4ThOXchmpG4tZbRpppIMftZMTTQsRUZCUXRICcVTUKH6kyAdG2byIHBnISMKll5qQnzMf5vS5aG0vHotCiO5DrNqC5soyxBI/s1600/Gotgatan.10914112.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Home-owner: <a href="http://www.waltzingmatilde.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Matilde Sköld</a>.

We're seeing so much of it right now. Do you remember this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/05/singing-blues-in-danish-apartment.html" target="_blank">Danish apartment</a> from a few weeks back? And I love the bedroom wall in this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.com/2015/02/love-affair-st-pauls-blue-and-cognac-in.html" target="_blank">swedish space</a> and blue accessories in this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/04/a-swedish-apartment-in-pretty-white.html" target="_blank">pretty apartment</a>. I also love the blue sofa in <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/04/the-tasty-home-of-swedish-food-blogger.html" target="_blank">the home of Sofia Wood</a> (another Swedish <a href="http://www.lovelylife.se/chezwood/" target="_blank">food blogger</a>). For a similar blue paint colour seen in the walls of Matilde's home try <a href="http://eu.farrow-ball.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?UniqueProductKey=100027" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Parma Gray</a> or <a href="http://eu.farrow-ball.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?UniqueProductKey=100089&keywords=Lulworth&redirect=true&lng=fr-FR&ctry=SE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lulworth Blue</a>.<br /><br />If you're stuck for what to eat this week I can highly recommend looking through some of the mouthwatering recipes on Matilde's blog. Some of my favourites include <a href="http://www.waltzingmatilde.com/2015/03/divine-swedish-pancakes-with-cream-cheese-lemon-curd-and-cardamom/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Swedish pancakes with cream cheese, lemon curd and cardamom</a>, <a href="http://www.waltzingmatilde.com/2014/10/swedish-chokladbollar-with-a-twist-totally-yummy-and-totally-healthy-plus-gluten-free-and-sugar-free-plus-kids-and-grown-ups-love-it/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Swedish chokladbollar with a twist</a> and a <a href="http://www.waltzingmatilde.com/2014/12/the-best-meatball-sandwich-in-the-whole-wide-world-avant-garde-christmas-sandwich/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">meatball sandwich with beetroot, apples and capers</a>. Mmmmmm!<br /><br />Thank you so much to Idha Lindhag for sending me these fab photos. She always finds the most wonderful homes to photograph including Jade Jagger's <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/06/jade-jaggers-home-in-goa-india.html" target="_blank">Goa hangout</a>, and <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/03/the-palatial-home-of-stockholm-stylist.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/03/a-perfect-parisien-home.html" target="_blank">this</a> fabulous Swedish space one.<br /><br />Have a great start to the week!

And this one's especially exciting for me as I'll be packing for my trip to New York on Monday (I'm heading over to work on my book - <i>eeeeeeee!</i>). But first, today's home tour. And what a lovely Swedish <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search/label/monochrome?&max-results=20" target="_blank">monochrome</a> toned one it is. Simple and calm with clever space-saving solutions (desk and wall to wall string shelving in the <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/hall/" target="_blank">hall</a> - got to <i>love that idea</i>!). A perfect home to complete the week, don't you think?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1EvyLttZSBPnEJ6-nEZf8ubr80SXf_bd8SRB0pyu0yDuv1lf9pnquEKxt7qPRn5dmKrJ61bDGfNhq0X_7dAbPuat2zYAQT7PtZCZrGLXFvKrjmmxvY7cTor9qqJgMxmPsJ5nxQo0iegg/s1600/st2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

If it makes you feel better I was like a tortoise - mornings are not my strong point. But the good news is this means I get to relax for rest of the day, right? (<i>wrong if my husband is reading this of course).</i> The Bergelin family look like they've got it right though in their lovely laid back 1950's home in Kullabygden here in Skåne. From the fab images captured by <a href="http://www.sorri.se/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ester Sorri</a> I'm seeing simple lunches alfresco, afternoons spent reading and playing with toys and as much time as possible spent outdoors. What a lovely, relaxed way to wile away a summer, don't you think? <br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

Plus Kullabygden is a really lovely place (we spend quite a lot of time in the area as my parents-in-law live there). It's well worth a visit if you're in Sweden - I especially like Höganäs (home to <a href="http://magasin36.nu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magasin 36</a>, <a href="http://lilyoscar.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lily & Oscar </a>etc), Arild and the pretty village of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6lle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mölle</a> (staying at the <a href="http://www.grand-molle.se/Konferens,_Hotell,_Spa_Helsingborg.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grand Hotel</a> is a must!). <br /><br />Incidentally, did you notice the 'pinnvagn' in the garden? These traditional wooden trolleys are often used at Swedish country homes and summer cottages to transport small children, shopping, picnics, beach toys and other cargo around the village. So useful! <br /><br />You can see more pics and read about the Bergelin home <a href="http://www.husohem.se/Hem/Villa/50-talshus-omgivet-av-betande-far/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here </a>(in Swedish). <br /><br />Other lovely, relaxed homes in Kullabygden include the <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/12/one-beautiful-home-two-different-tours.html" target="_blank">home of a stylist</a> also captured <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/12/the-unique-and-fabulous-home-of-swedish.html" target="_blank">here</a>, a <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/07/a-swedish-cottage-with-beautiful-mix.html" target="_blank">cottage with a beautiful mix</a> and a <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/06/a-stunning-skane-home.html" target="_blank">stunning skåne home</a>. <br /><br />Have a lovely, relaxed day! </div>Avthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05802632373289828408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870909334691820237.post-74026274516769607092015-06-09T01:41:00.000-07:002015-07-04T02:40:48.762-07:00A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE ……….

I love the soothing neutral palette and there are some great ideas to steal too (see below for a quick guide on where to buy)!

How are you this Monday? The schools break up in Sweden later this week and I'm starting to get <i>that</i> summer feeling; think bare feet, dips in the sea, fishing, cooking and eating alfresco and showers under the open sky. At least that's what would happen if I were to spend the summer in this idyllic Swedish summer cottage. Like many Scandinavian holiday homes, it's been designed to make the most of the outdoors. And for rainy days, the interior has been decorated with traditional rag rugs, summer quilts in a basket, antique and vintage Swedish furniture and wicker chairs for enjoying the summer read.<i> Oh yes!</i> Could you spend your summer here?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When it comes to Swedish summer time - a pared-back lifestyle is the way to go. Many like to retreat to a summer cottage for up to 4 weeks to make the most of the long summer days and surrounding nature. This home of a Swedish actor and comedian on the beautiful island of Gotland is a fine example, although a little bigger than most! It's made up of several buildings which allow friends and family to come and go and it's decorated with a lovely no-frills approach. And guess what? it's <a href="http://www.bertwig.se/real_estate/storsudret-vamlingbo/alla-bilder/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">for sale</a>! Could. You. Imagine?

From experience, I know that often this is when the most beautiful home tours of all pop up. And today is one of those days. For me, this home is the epitome of calm, Swedish pared-back simplicity. It has just the right balance of traditional (beautiful period features and architecture, antique and vintage furniture) and modern (brass fittings, grey marble worktop, industrial lights, classic design furniture...) and a wonderful use of natural materials throughout. Beautiful styling by the team at <a href="http://sarahwidman.se/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sarah Widman</a> and definitely worth the wait, don't you think?! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Just what I needed on a rather hectic Thursday!<br /><br />Could you live here? <br /><br />Other lovely spaces for a touch of calm today include this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/01/a-striking-danish-home-with-calm-feel.html" target="_blank">striking danish home </a>(cue: music from <i>that</i> piano), a lovely white and grey <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/03/calm-white-and-grey-in-swedish-apartment.html" target="_blank">Swedish space</a> and the serene <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/03/the-lovely-serene-home-of-swedish-singer.html" target="_blank">home of a Swedish singer</a> here in Malmö. Or perhaps a duvet day in this <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/03/duvet-day-in-this-calm-danish-bedroom.html" target="_blank">Danish bedroom</a> could do the trick?!<br /><br />Have a lovely, relaxed day!<br /><br />PS If you find some time this weekend, I'll be holding a fabulous give-away with a very cool, coveted Finnish design prize. I'm sooo excited as I think you're going to love it! Watch this space....<br /><br /><br /></div>Avthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05802632373289828408noreply@blogger.com0
