Inspiration from Englesson

The Swedish furniture deisgner/ manufacturer Englesson provide classic furniture and nice inspiration. The are especially known for their bold flower pattern as you can see on the armchair below. I really like the dining and coffee tables below, but don't think they are available outside of Sweden.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween pumpkins doesn't need to be scary as the pretty pumpkins below show. I love to have pumpkins as decoration in the garden in the fall as they really light up in the dark, whether you carve them out or not. Especially like the artful display in the third picture, certainly Halloween with a beautiful twist!

Lovely home

Alvhem makleri is a great site for inspiration. They help their customers with home staging  when selling, but is a home staging that says 'this is your new home' over just stripping the property of everything personal. Would I love to have a breakfast buffe like this...yes absolutely!

Studio in White

Finally, Lexington are shipping to the UK from their online store! Great bedding, towels and clothes. The site also have inspiring pictures that comes with each collection. Lexington is actually Swedish, but are using New England as their main theme. A selection of pictures below. Warmly recommend visiting the site!
