A quirky Stockholm loft

I like this slightly quirky, eclectic, bohemian loft space in Stockholm which is currently for sale through Fantastic Frank. The owners have a very particular style, mixing many different looks to create a strong personality.

I spy quite a few Designer's Guild cushions, including the same pink and gold one I have in my bubble chair (I do love a touch of Designer's Guild, it must be my English heritage!).


What styles do you mix in your home?

I am unlikely to have any internet connection tomorrow so bear with me until Friday if that's the case! :(

Have a lovely day.

A wonderful white Norwegian loft space

Hello! How are you today, on this 'Lilla Lördag'? I have a beautiful Norwegian apartment to share today. Situated in Grünerløkka, it's fairly small (61 m2) but because of the white, open plan space it looks a lot more spacious. For me, it has everything my (interior) heart desires a few Scandinavian designer pieces, wood beams, a fireplace and a walk in wardrobe, all I would need to add is my family!

What do you think? Anything that stands out to you? The jury's still out on open wardrobes. On Facebook I asked the question 'open clothes rail do or don't?' and a lot of people said a 'don't' since they look too cluttered. What are your thoughts?

A little exciting news - do you remember the give-away to win an industrial pendant light I held a few weeks ago (now closed)? I am really excited to announce that ML-Design are now a sponsor so for those of you who missed out, you can buy the beautiful, environmentally friendly pendant light in all colours here.

And finally, if you're on the hunt for some cool new wallpaper you might want to check out this new Scandinavian inspired wallpaper.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

A laid back Brooklyn apartment

Hello, how are you all today? I recently came across this great loft in Brooklyn, New York photographed by Brian W. Ferry. I love the owner's laid back style, the combination of black glossy floor with the matt white brick wall and the way they have displayed pictures through out the loft.

For sale here. Tempted?!

On Monday we saw a bike as a feature in the hallway but this home has taken it a step further with a motorbike. Do or don't?!

I also noticed everyone loved the map wallpaper in the kitchen yesterday both here and on Facebook, so I'm looking into where you can buy it - unless anyone knows?

PS Thanks for all your feedback, encouragement and tips on painting my stairs white yesterday. I am raring to get going now!

White industrial style loft in Barcelona

In February I'm off to one of my favourite cities: the wonderful Barcelona!  I wish I was staying in this modern industrial style apartment, originally a textile workshop. Designing an open plan living space can be so challenging but these guys seemed to have planned it to perfection and just look at the 'bones' they had to play with. *sigh* if only.....

The large light filled rooms are so fantastic. I'm telling you, if I owned this apartment I'd cycle the bicycle (by the door) around it all day just because I could!

What do you think of modern industrial style homes and open plan living?

Any fab design tips for Barcelona?

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Beautiful, light, loft space living

Thanks Anna G of wonderful blog La Maison D'Anna G for pointing out that yesterday's image was styled  by Nanna Lagerman and photographed by Philip Karlberg for Swedish Elle Interiör. And the good news? This meant I also found more images from the shoot.....

Imagine having huge windows like this? Such wonderful light! And that bathroom......that bathroom?!

A white, wood and neon loft space

Back in Scandinavia I thought I'd go all out white and wood today. But with a twist. Neon lighting. YAAAAY! This fab loft space in Canada belongs to fashion blogger and stylist Katharine Horsman and was photographed by Janis Nicolay for House and Home. I'm still drooling over the natural wood kitchen table. And of course the neon lighting over the bed - very very cool.

Can't get a proper idea just how fab it is from the pics? Well, guess what - there's a video of this home too!

Have a lovely evening!
