Architect's dream home





Architect and designer Kasper Ronne designed his house in a very minimalistic way, main eyecatcher here is the concrete floor with epoxy finish which leads troughout the whole place and adding interesting contrast to the white walls and ceiling.

Wooden beams and raw wood furniture pieces adding warmth to the otherwise little cold interior of the house with the help of classic Eames furniture and other retro pieces.

Charismatic Swedish Apartment






Another real estare agency treasure, this 125sqm apartment is full of what I love about scandinavian interiors - there is a lot of  mid century furniture pieces  adding the place character, all is mostly white with colors popping  here and there plus lots of artworks on the walls, clean but not cold. BTW - Im a huge fan of those large double doors, so nice!

Original furniture by Christina Liljenberg Halstrom



Creations by designer Christina Liljenberg Halstrom are original and fun.  Theay leave a space for your own creation, so you can adjust them as you like.  I especially like the "Gym de Luxe" which consist of nicely shaped knitted pillows, wooden hanging hooks and floor mat.

Both pieces were awarded by the Danish Arts Foundation.

A House by the Sea in Sweden






Designer Marie Olsson Nylander and her husband Wlliam are owners of this beautiful sea house decorated with a a mixture of scandinavian and mediterranean style.

I really love the combination of rustic vintage pieces with mid century modern stuff - working so well here. And the view? Oh my- this is a killer, white floors, white ceiling, and a blue see - what a combination!

42 Square Meters of Scandinavian Coolness







Another small and cool flat here! Nicholas Eis did a nice job to make this tiny place looks spacious and airy - using classic nordic scheme - white, black and natural wood .  I love the selection of artworks and small details like lamps, vases, candlesticks  etc - they giving the place a really nice feel.

Minimalitic Scandinavian Flat




Rikke Rasmussen, co-owner of Moshi Moshi designed her 140 square meters large flat in a minimalistic way which almost reminded me Japanese interiors. I love the use of classic danish modern pieces there, another proof how strongly they can add to the feel of the place.

Nordic Essence






The house above is what I imagine when you say "nordic style" - white and clean.  Look at this wonderful stove, looks so great in this place, the contrast it makes and the texture of wood... Place is also spiced up by classic Eames pieces -  ideal combination!

Optimistic Colourful House in Portugal





This interior decorated by Monica Penaguião is essence of pure happyness and optimism. Bold colors, decorative patterns and selection of famous design pieces. Im not like the wallpapers in the dining room so much but the lobby with the staircase is really cute!

Amazing Factory Apartments in Stockholm







I smell luxury when Im looking at those amazingly clean images of perfectly styled apartment located in the "straw hat factory" location - three factory buildings from the turn of the century in Stockholm. (maybe those are just very good visualisations and not actual photos - but they are great anyway )

Inside you find many great things like classical eames furniture, danish modern & also contemporary design pieces. (I love the blue painted danish modern table on the last photo!)  Everything is combined with a great taste, decent tones , and  a little bit of color pops to spice things up.

Happy Monday Interor Shots







Today I want to share with you a few shots from analeenashem blog - they are from her regular monday snapshots post, and I must say they brightened my autumn monday wonderfuly.

I really love her decorating skills & sense for clean airy style, such a cool place, again only black and  white + natural wood is present, not any bold colors - still the interior is fantastic. Workspace corner with arranged empty frames and glass bottles is my favorite!

Great Use of Wall Paper and Update:

disguiseWP
I love the double duty that this Cole and Son wallpaper plays in this space. It adds visual interest and also disguises the storage cupboards that are nestled under the staircase.  Lovely splashes of colour too!

In Baby News:
RomanShower 145
This shot is a pic from my baby shower which was last weekend. More to come about that very fun day. Anyway, almost a week later, I am in the hospital measuring my contractions and learning that I am in early labor and have begun to dilate. Of course, my first thought was, “But my hubby isn’t here yet!” Baby isn’t due until October 25th either. I am home now waiting to be dilated to 4cm and thank goodness the contractions have eased in intensity. I am able to find the time to write this post because I am now on some sort of bed rest. I say some sort because I am still moving around because I can’t stay in bed all day. My Mom would be wagging her finger at me if she were hereSmile.  Great news though-the hubby is on his way home and if I stay still like a good girl, maybe our little bundle of joy will wait until his Daddy gets home.
