Home Design Cool

Hello all! Today is the day the new blog design will be uploaded, so things may look odd around here for awhile. Just wanted to give you a heads up! The new design is very different from my current one – I’m warning you because if you’re like me and hate change it may take some getting used to. :) I totally understand that, we get used to something and it feels weird to see it look different after so long. It certainly will be weird for me. I just ask for your patience and courtesy, as we have...

I do love a little high ceiling elegance and this apartment embraces it by keeping the walls white and the look pared-back, adding a only few select mid-century pieces. Combine this with original white washed beams and floaty linen curtains as room dividers and the result is a serene, grown-up living space. My eye is on the detail too - instead of one large landscape picture above the dining table the owners have used three portrait images. Herbs hang in the window and plants and flowers can be...

When it comes to creating a cabin, it seems your imagination is the only limit. This incredible Finnish summer cottage has been built using four ship containers, yes really!

OK, not gonna lie. This is seriously about my favorite post ever. I’m obsessed with seeing spaces transform – before and after pictures are my jam.

There is still a lot of emotion that comes up when I think about that. I do not take the fact that we get to live here lightly, it is a dream come true. It’s not a perfect house (nor do I want it to be) but it is...

 I love it when the doors and windows can be flung open, the sun streams in and you can pad about the place bare foot and fancy free. This Gothenburg apartment captures the spring vibe perfectly with it's light-filled open plan living space, balcony and bright pops of green. I love the mix of old and new - Scandinavian modern, vintage and industrial, what a perfect blend? And who needs a large backyard to have a herb garden - I really like the idea of using the full height of balcony railings...
