En liten stuga










Pics: Uppvik

I found this gorgeous little house for sale in a small community called Örum in Sweden. It is not quiet close enough to the town where we want to have a litte holiday home, but I wish it was! This type of house really embrace the modern chic style without spoiling the atmosphere of the 200 year old home.

Baby girl






Our dear friend Davina is becoming a mum for the second time, so on the weekend we celebrated with a long lunch. There is nothing better than the mix of great food, the best of friends and little lolly bags to take home at the end of the day. I’m very blessed to have such great friends around me, love you girls! The only thing we can do now is to wait for the arrival of the new addition to our group, so excited to meet her!

Storm



The weather has been unreliable the last few days and all this wind and stormy weather reminds me of home. I cant help but actually enjoying it! There is nothing better than rugging up and listening to the rain against the windows while the inside is warm and surrounded by cosy lit candles. My fellow colleagues think I’m slightly strange as they struggle through the cold(?) Perth winter weather! We have another crazy storm hitting Perth tonight so stay safe everyone.

Coffee Table



Our hunt for a coffee table with the label “just right” had been going on for a few weeks when we snapped one up on the weekend. The truth is that I knew all along what I wanted, but it took some time for me to reassure my other half that this was the table for us. He was a little unsure about it and to be honest I think he thought it looked weird! Then last Saturday we went back to the shop and had another look. He finally agreed it would be a cool addition to our otherwise streamlined room. The only thing I had in the back of my mind all along was the colour.. I just didn’t think that the natural wood would look quiet right with the rest of the furniture, I thought a couple of white washes would make it perfect. I decided to take one battle at the time and kept quiet about my thoughts about the change I wanted to make to our brand new, not so cheap, piece of furniture.. As you can see – I gave it a nice wash of white colour in the end!

Sheepskin - A Swedish thing?






Pics: Bo-laget

This little apartment is so gorgeous and the floor in the kitchen is to die for. I really like the old furniture that has been given a coat of stylish white paint, very chic! The sheepskin on the bed reminds me of my friend Jodie who liked the soft “rug” I had on the floor, who in the next second jumped far away from it when I told her it wasn’t a rug.. Must just be a strange Swede thing to have sheepskin on the bed, on the floor, in prams, in a chair…. The list goes on and on!

Balcony




We moved into our new apartment over the weekend and we are slowly getting everything into its place. Here are photos of our new outdoor setting. Love the table with its rustic frame and whitewashed tabletop. I’ve had my eyes set on the chairs for a while and finally yesterday I convinced my fiancé that they are the perfect chairs… so off we went to Empire!

Colour Pop

I just had to share these pictures of a fab home in Göteborg. I just love the crazy but oh so cool mix of all the colours! The owners really gave this century old apartment a statement makeover, but still managed to keep all the good features of these types of home.

Spot the dog!




  Pics: Ekenstam
These inspiration pictures are from an apartment in Stockholm built in 1930. The renovation has been carefully done to preserve the beautiful floors and features. White walls throughout the apartment catch my eye and I like the stream of daylight that is coming through the windows.

Day with friends

 












These photos are from our day off last week, I had my camera with me to capture our day. We started the morning early with the Anzac dawn service and then we had breakfast at Tarts. In the afternoon we were invited to our dear friends C & Z’s house for champagne, wood fired pizzas and pork crackling. It was so yum and we had the best day together!
