Trendey has been awfully quiet lately..!  I’m busy saving the world, and if not Henen decides on a sudden comeback, this slow is how it’ll stay a couple more months. To spice up the place a little, here’s some views from my favourite room. Firstly, note that I put my grey skirt on the Ge’-lamp. Made it much nicer…Though I miss wearing my soft skirt. And that’s Grandpa’s well-used stool.
I finally found some gorgeous old birch-bark lamps at a flea market up in the north. Put 2 on the cupboard.

And below you can view our son Cliff (born in 1965 at A.D. Sutton & Sons factory) and also another birch barch lamp; this one is mismatched with a wooden ball lamp stand I painted the same colour as the wall.
The sunny & warm colour scheme makes me happy. What I cherish most is our kilims, they make the room so inviting and homey. I’m a sucker for rugs, the more of them, the better.

As summer fades and evenings are getting darker, yellow is the perfect accent colour to illuminate our homes. No other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow. This was said when the Pantone Mimosa yellow was selected the Color of the Year for 2009. Bright sunny yellow, warm golden yellow, orange-and green hued yellows, they are all super-trendey sparkles ready to enlighten any interior.

Around a photo of a balcony (taken today @ Norr Mälarstrand, Stockholm) I’ve gathered some yellowish favourites. Clockwise starting from 1 o’clock it is the Toldbod Pendant 120, yellow blossom, from Louis Poulsen, followed by Magazine Racks and the stool La Bohème by Kartell. From 6 o’clock going towards 7, a yellow Atelier Chesterfield and a Suzani Sprig Cocktail Napkin from Anthropologie. The Yellow Statue at 8 can be found in Supermarket Sarah and finally at bedtime, the Trollsta side table from Ikea.
