A colourful fall

It´s a beautiful autumn day, with winter nowhere in sight. So I´m really feeling for some bold colours a day like this. It gives me the right energy and the creativity is on top. Love this messy and creativ studio, love the J.Crew fall collection and I love painting with brights at the moment.

Blog love

I read a variety of interior blogs every day. Some I visit once in a while and some I just have to read every singel day because they always keep me inspired. Swedish 'STIL inspiration', run by Pella, is one of my favorites, especially when she is showing some of her own work. For some time now she has been taking an course in interior styling at Beckmans by the Swedish stylist queen Lotta Agaton and I think Pella has a real talent for the job. I hope to see more of her styling in the future and really recommend a visit to her blog.

Art to desire

 If I hadn´t spent all my money in New York I would have been a strong candidate to buy this piece of art that I just found on 'Stadsauktion'. They have an auction for charity (Barndiabetesfonden) and this is one of the items that I would like to place a strong bid on. The photo is untitled and signed by the artist, Camilla Åkrans 2010. I love photoart, I´m in the fashion buisness and green is my favorite colour, so it´s perfect...I just lack a bit of cash.

H&M Home 2012

I just found some photos from H&H Home´s press preview threw April and May. I think some of their things look quite nice but I always expect stronger and bolder expressions since H&M fashion always go "all the way". They have chosen a safe way and I think they would gain more in experimenting a bit and try to sand out instead of blending in. What do you think? Is this something that will be interesting for next year?

Varpunen sacks

"Tetris" and "Shapes" are two items in Varpunen´s new collecions of sacks. They are made of printed PVC-laminated polyester with some very strong prints. These two are my favorites but they all look great.

Dirt Poster

Posters with funny or well thought of quotes is nothing new. In fact it´s not really my cup of tea. But yesterday I came across Dirt Poster by Roland Reiner Tiangco and totally fell in love with the design and sentiment. The back of the poster is covered in black dust that makes your hands extremely dirty for a reason. Rubbed across the white poster front, your hands reveal the poster’s message. I love the statement because it is true on so many levels. Anyone precious about making mess is probably not going to change the world.

Christmas wishes

It´s still a few more week before I will even start to think about Christmas, but today I was visiting the webshop of Artilleriet and just realized that everything I wish for is in their store. Honey, here is my wishlist for Christmas...you just have to make one stop, easy right?

1. Eno clothes rack. Love the leather.
2. P.A.P Ipad cover for the birthday present you just bought me.
3. Sol & Luna Girón chair. We´ve talked about these chairs forever.
4. HAY About a chair. They would be perfect in our office.
5. HAY Don´t leave me XL table.
6. Jet Set kit. Perfect for when I travel.
7. Konstantin Slawinski mat in porcelain for pots
8. Lilla Bruket bathoil.

Ok, seriously I´m happy just being with my family but a girl can always dream...

A neon string

Why does a little neon string make me smile? Ever since the begining of this summer I´ve been obsessing over neon colours in interior and it doesn´t leave my mind. Today I found that Hviit is selling pink neon string per meter, so I´m just going to order me a couple of meters to feed this desire of mine.

Reality check

It´s a bit relieving to see photos like these. Weekday Carnival is usually famous for showing well orgainized and very stylish photos of her home, but I have to say that I love this post showing quite the opposite. We´re living in an era of showing off our perfect homes in our perfect lifes. Looking at peoples Facebook status makes, at least me, feel like a lazy bum. Everyone is running before breakfast, eating fantastic dinners, going to exotic places and loving their jobs...every day. And going threw interior blogs (like I do every day) doesn´t make my home look any less messy when I return from the computer. So, thank you Weekday Carnival for making my home look normal. Got to go, have some cleaning to do... ;)

Floor love

This appartment owned by Wolfgang Benkhen in Hamburg is really nice but at first glance I thought it was a bit too clean for my taste. But then I had another look and saw the floors! They are just wonderful. Why put something on your walls when the floor is the key element of the home...? I also like the contrast in the minimal styling together with all the books and paintings on the...floor. I´ve wondered about what material we should use for the kitchen floor but after seeing his kitchen, the problem is solved.
I found these photos at Stil inspiration, a Swedish blog I really recommend, but the photos are taken by Marc Seelen for Elle Decor Italia.

Alex & Fred

Alex & Fred is a new Swedish concept, specialised on bedding for children, made from shirt fabrics. They are designed by Bobo Andersson, a former fashion designer and will be sold on their website Alex & Fred, opening just now. I love the sharp gingham checks and stripes, reminding me of my husbands favorite shirts and I like the fact that this Swedish company is focusing on the children without making it look too childish.

Todays love

Todays love is all about the black and white inspired from New York mixed with the natur of Scandinavia. Sharp edges and clean cuts together with fresh linnen and organic materials.
