These are pics from the Gothenburg restaurant Yaki-Da. How I love this cool granny-style! Two fav categories: Faded glamour & Granny’s wallpapers. Most of all, I like the wild decorating idea below. Pippi was here and totally enchanted the place. Hanging furniture on a wall like this is a trick that does need some extra effort – some really good brackets & screws – but what a vibe! Do try this at home. In my future house, I will!

 Sunny sunny yellow…A vitamin pill!

The weather outside these days is reminiscent of the interior style that has been (and for some, still is) worshipped in Sweden: totally white from all the crispy snow, and when sun sets: black. Some naked trees to add a bit of wood. This little pic to the right, via est magazine, has circulated in the blogosphere the last few days and not least on many Swedish interior blogs, It’s been said oooh’s & ahh’s: what a lovely colour scheme! The pendulum has begun to swing and this is so groundbreaking it deserves an own post :) So following this lead, here’s some more creative & colour-boosted versions of a whiteish style!

This pic above is from Living etc‘s fresh new March issue – an issue filled to the brim with exciting white interiors. A touch of homespun (the chair), a fun flowery sofa together with another, colourful, sofa and a gorgeous rug makes this place interesting & cool. As you see can one side of the wall is not decorated yet, but it can be filled with basically anything. Flowing velvet drapes adorn the windows and adds extra warmth to the room (you can’t see that in the pic though, only in my mind). And below, same source and inspirational value: a white kitchen and white bedroom stylishly and creatively boosted with lovely colourful elements.

A slice of our bedroom. Kilim rug headboard reflected in mirror, Kartell lamp dressed in my soft blue top, Mikael’s grandpa’s old painting, Mr Rhino caught in Umeå, goldy hodgepodge!

for more of the animal twist, have a look at this gorgeous elephant head and this cool moose..

Hello! Hope you are well this fine Friday! I can’t believe it’s still January. My mind is totally set for spring, I’ve even ordered some spring clothes I know I won’t be able to wear for at least 2 months! Bah. Buy hey, one can always decorate a wall with clothes, especially skirts and dresses! Now here’s a round of nice stuff I’ve spotted lately. I’ve put some gorgeous flowers into the mix, just to get you (and me!) extra happy.

Firstly, I think this wall decor idea, found at ljuvligt hemma, is amazingly smart and easy. For a hallway or any undecorated passage or corner. Just get a canvas,  paint it white (or any other colour), stretch some lovely satin ribbons across it, attach them with a stapler and…tada! Collect your favourite memories!

Soon it’s spring, I hope! Pic styled by marcus hay via bright bazaar. This is the greatest most wonderful decor essential right know I think – flowers en masse!

And below, from ad france feb-march issue, a frame grouping with two great features in one: round shaped mirrors!

Moving on, I love displays and still life styled like this one below, spotted at krickelin‘s. Relaxed, effortless, non-squary styling. Gold, bronze & copper items are always escpecially nice (for some reason, I’m not into silver at all) and so are antlers.

Finally, a huge bunch of flowers (perfect to combine with the cool style above)..

to wish you a Happy weekend!
(this pic via style me pretty )

A little note from a corner of our house…

Apart from the fact that I obviously fancy drink trolleys - they add so much to the atmosphere! – and I really like this turquoise industrial one, there’s two other favourites in this pic. (Or 3 with the cockatoo, 4, 5… I like all my things! :p). Mainly though, I cherish the old pendulum clock which my late Grandpa Sven got when he quit his job as a private chauffeur in the 50s, and – a newly discovered beauty: the pantop lamp from VerPan designed by Verner Panton. I love its finish, the bell-like shape & the textile cable. Happy wknd!
