Farm house in Sweden

Goodevening to all of you lovely people out there!
I do love old Swedish houses. As some of you might know, I often spend my vacations in our own Swedish farm house by the countryside. I can't resist an old Swedish farm house; the red - or Faluröd, as it's called in Swedish - colour of the house, the old fireplaces inside and just the feel of the place.
This Swedish farm house was built by the owner, a carpenter, who lives here with his wife and son. The house works as a place to live and a studio. I like it, but nothing compares to the one my family owns, haha.
Have a evening day and be happy ♡

Bless This Mess

Goodevening, dear Internet friends - how are you today?
My Wednesday has been wonderful; I had the day off, so I've been taking it easy,
doing my homework for tomorrow, coloured my hair...

... and then I did this. I often get very inspired by different pictures on Instagram and interior blogs I read,
and about an hour ago an idea got stuck in my head.
I have this small space between my windows, and every so often, I like to change the look of the otherwise small piece of boring and white wall. Currently, I'm so in love with blackboards and have them everywhere! My mum gave me this one a couple of weeks back, and I couldn't quite figure out where I wanted it. Today, however, it hit me: I wanted it in plain sight!
So I got my beloved toolbox out, measured up and hung the blackboard, decorated it with nice lights - and of course, as I do like a little clutter, some different prints to fill out the rest.

I really like the result; as said before, it's now in plain sight from my favorite spot on the couch,
and the chain of lights draws focus to the blackboard message.
"Bless this mess" is one of my favorite sayings, and it is really fitting for my little studio-haven.

No more posting from me today, but I hope you all are having a nice evening.
Remember to smile and be happy - it'll make your life that much better ♡

Walk in closet inspiration

These pictures are from IKEA's Livet Hemma blog, and today the post is about a walk-in closet - of course decorated with different items from IKEA.
There are no need for words here; I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves and let you get inspired - and maybe dreaming of a bigger closet?

Spot the flamingo!

New day, new opportunities! I'm actually on my way out; it's Monday and I have night classes in 30 minutes - yawn! I don't quite feel up to it tonight; it's dark, it's cold... BUT it's English, so that makes it all better!

And now for todays post:

This Swedish Helsingborg apartment was built in 1928 and recently remodeled. I love the light, the mix of colors and the flamingo - can you spot it?

Have a special day with secret smiles and happy memories ♡

A touch of brass

Another week is almost over, and a new one is about to begin. Yes, it's Sunday and it's getting darker and darker, and it seems like the rain will never stop pouring. So I thought it would be nice to post about a very light and Summery apartment today.
Yes, it's time for a new Göteborg apartment, and this one is a good one. I'm very much in love with metals at the moment, so these brass lamps are just to my liking. And who can resist a SMEG fridge and a small balcony? Certainly not me!
Have the greatest day, and don't forget to smile and be happy ♡

Season of lights

Have a happy Saturday

- or at least, what's left of it

A fireplace in Norway

I do love a fireplace. It doesn't matter if it's an open fireplace or an old Husqvarna, I just can't resist the special warmth that comes from fire. A short while ago I was in Sweden with my folks, and we have FOUR fireplaces up there. Well, only two of them work, but that's plenty!
I just wanted to show you another way - maybe a more minimalistic way - of curling up by the fire. This Norwegian home is the perfect setting for cold weather outside, and warmth and cosiness inside.
Have a happy day in the cold weather ♡

Purple Autumn

Very short post today, I'm on my way out to find absolutely everything in these pictures!
How beautiful is this place? I never really thought of purple when decorating, but I must admit it's a beautiful color for a beautiful season.
Bye bye, see you again soon ♡

Embrace Autumn...

... and get inspired by these fantastic pictures ♡
