New Years a la Villa Collection

Inspirational festive dinner table pictures from Villa Collection's look book for Winter 2009.

New England Styled Home

When I'm not too busy I always check a selected few estate agents for inspiration and found this pearl on Skeppsholmen. The house is New England themed without the stars and stripes. I personally absolutely love the launch. Saved in inspration file.

Christmas gifts

Decision made on no Christmas gifts doesn't mean a gift in the sales are not allowed. Bought this very handsome desk from Asplunds today in the Skandium sale.

Merry Christmas!

Candles and Fire

Candles and an open fire, kick back and relax as today is the start of Christmas. Merry Christmas all!

Silver Christmas

This home was recently featured in the Swedish interior design magazine Allt i Hemmet . The Christmas decorations theme is white and silver, which looks simple, clean and stunning.

Bathrooms

We have decided to sell the flat and move and will not renovate this bathroom, but a few ideas for the new house (when we get it!)

A bit of London a bit of Paris

Skona Hem is one of my favorite interior design magazines, for many reasons but mainly because they have original ideas and don't show the same homes as the competition. This home, recently featured in the magazine, styled for Christmas in soft neutral is a bit of Paris and a bit of London, but located in Stockholm.

Scandinavian style Christmas Decorations

Christmas decorations a la Danish designer Tine K. She combines nature with simple shapes in a way that I think is the definition of Scandinavian design style.

Style Mix

The posh Stockholm estate agent Lagerlings had this apartment on their books recently. It is a wild style mix of modern and turn of last century country. Strangely enough I think it does work.

Nordic Winter

Found these pictures I just have to share with you on Broste Copenhagen. They are just so Nordic it almost makes me home sick. I decided to use branches with pine cones instead of a Christmas tree this year, really like the simple look.

 

Living with Books

Reading a lot of books has the issue of storing them (not yet convinced by reading books on the iPad...). Below is three example of how you can incorporate living with books in a homely way. All pictures from Skona hem.

Winter a la Skona Hem

Some inspirational seasonal pictures that doesn't scream Christmas from Skona Hem. The chocolates and nuts really remind me of childhood Christmases for some reason. The white frosted kiwi lights looks great with it too.

White X-mas

This white styled X-mas livingroom is from Skona Hem. I love the soft light the advent stars gives a room, not to mention how nice and cozy it looks from the outside. The gold table and candle holders also helps to soften the effect.

Christmas Presents

Only a few weeks to Christma and below are a few Christmas design classics ideas.

White Winter House

This white house is featured in Skona Hem's December issue and is actually a new built house. It certainly has the character, look and feel similar to a house build 1800 something. A lovley place to call home!

Getting Ready For Christmas

Time flies and it is that time a year again, Christmas is around the corner and it's time to get the house Christmas decorated. A few ideas for you with this theme enjoy!
