The family home of a Danish stylist

This Danish family home owned by the talented stylist Camilla Tang Paylecke of blog Hunch is perfect! Homely, yet cool. Light and bright but full of personal touches. And the perfect blend of Scandinavian designer pieces, mid century finds and pretty vintage items. What a truly inspiring home!

What are your thoughts? Any styling ideas you love?

So many cute and clever blends, I think one of my favourites is the Eames side chair with the mid-century writing desk. I could sit there and work all week!

Thank you to Camilla for the kind permission to show these pics.

Hope you all have a lovely evening.

A pretty Toronto home

I was leisurely scrolling through all my favourite blogs - trust me this takes a long time - and I came across this beautiful apartment on 79 ideas. It's the Toronto home of Nikole Herriott, 50% owner of the father-daughter company Herriott Grace, featured in Covet Garden. Hand on heart - this is my idea of the perfect apartment - light, white with a touch of history and individuality. The dining table is what I've been looking for the past 3 years too.

Pretty home?

I am so happy to see so many people have already entered my blog Give-away! I've loved reading all your comments and wish you could all win! There's still time left to enter so please do stop by here if you fancy a chance of winning a Pappelina rug.

Have a lovely afternoon!

White, brown and dark green in Malmö

Hello! And happy Monday! Here in Southern Sweden it's raining and grey and I have all the lights on BUT I'm feeling bright all the same, because tomorrow is the day of my blog give-away - yay! so exciting! First though, here is a beautiful apartment currently for sale in the area of St Knuts, the bohemian district of Malmö through Bo-laget. I love the original wood flooring, the windows leading into the hallway to lighten the space and of course the original way the owners have furnished it. Another reason why my Monday feels bright!

Could you move in here?!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the give-away! eeeee!

PS Thank you so much for all your 'blog birthday' wishes on Friday, you made me so happy!

Swedish home with vintage finds: part II

Yesterday we took a peek around the wonderful  little children's bedroom from Johanna Gartmyr's Southern Swedish family home. And today I promised you the remainder of this fab home crammed full of wonderful retro flea market finds and timeless Scandinavian designer pieces. I particularly love how Johanna and her husband have balanced the splashes of colour in each room, for example the bright yellow lamp matches with the retro chilren's high chair in the dining area...

I spy variations of the String shelves in the dining and sitting room areas. The IKEA black and white striped STOCKHOLM RAND rug in the sitting room and the 'round elefant' black tray from Svenskt Tenn in the last picture.

Such a fab, happy home! Is there anything you particularly love?

PS Thank you Johanna for your kind permission  to share these images (taken by sister, Lisa Wikstrand).

PPS My Scandinavian Home is finally on Facebook as of a month ago (although it has an identity disorder and thinks it's a Tumblr so if you like to have your day occasionally interrupted by a pretty interior picture it could be worth a 'like'. Oh and I am also a little addicted to Pinterest too, are you on there too?

Swedish home with fun vintage finds: Part I

Hej hej! On Saturday I went off on a great flea market road trip around South West Skåne. It's amazing all the fantastic things you can find at bargain prices (and for charity).  The home in today's post, with kind permission from the owner, Johanna from AprillAprill blog and her family, is the perfect example of what you can do with a little upcycling. Since there are so many fab pictures (photographed by Johanna's sister Lisa Wikstrand (blog here) for Retro magazine) Here's part I of a two part series- her daughter's fab bright, fun bedroom.

Isn't it such a perfect bedroom for a little girl?

We were at a friend's house for brunch yesterday (who have the most fantastic converted school out in the countryside but that's another story) and they had exactly the same play castle (lekborg) from Smallroom in their children's playroom. Oh how much would my girls love one of those.

Look out for the rest of Johanna's beautiful Scandinavian retro home in part II tomorrow!

PS How come my home doesn't look like this after Saturday's flea market tour?!!

A relaxed Parisien family home

Today's inspiration; a fun, relaxed well loved apartment in Paris beautifully captured by Danish photographer; Morten Holtum, for Elle Deco. You can practically feel the wonderful vibe in this family home of Irene and Thomas Cohen, owners of fab children's brand Bonton oozing out of the pictures. Plus there are so many details, every time I look I spot something new!

I particularly love the red and white dotted kitchen table matched by the little set of children's toadstall tables, so cute! Dots are set to be a huge trend in fashion and interiors this Autumn/Winter and this is such a lovely way of incorporating them into the home. Anything in particular you love about this space? Apart from the location of course!

PS I know a certain Erin from Like/ Want / Need blog who will dreeeeam of owning this apartment in the centre of Paris!

A relaxed dutch home with vintage touches

I have to admit, this Tuesday I'm feeling just a little bit bluuuur. I think it could be because my holiday's officially over. It could be that the weather is just a bit cold, cloudy and windy. I'm not sure. But this interior from the FAB Dutch interior magazine VT Wonen which I spotted over at SF Girl By Bay has done a little to lift my spirits at least. It's sooooo cool. I love all the vintage finds, the eclectic mix of furniture and the relaxed vibe. Peeeeerfect. 

I really love pink in a home and thankfully my man is just a little bit colour blind and thinks fuschia pink is in fact red.... mwah ha ha ha!

Do you have a favourite accent colour of the moment?
