apartment in Stockholm

Today I wish to share a funky apartment on an island in the central Stockholm. I love the casual feeling. This family has used the Cañova’s wallpaper very nicely! ho about glazed tile in the bedroom?

carpet love

How was weekend? Mine was really nice, a girls' night out { well, in } on friday, then cozying up at home and fixing before Christmas. We have some gifts left to buy and then all the wrapping is about to start, just so exciting!

We also bought a new carpet this weekend, pretty isn't it?

Cozying up in the mids of all my cushions is a lovely thing to do! I wish we had better camera but the iPhone shot will have to do so far... Have a lovely day!

happy weekend

My friends, it’s weekend again and I’m on a party mood! We are  having girls’ night tonight, so it’s expected loads of bubbles and great evening with my fabulous girls!

Have a great weekend! xoxox, Tiina

string shelf

A friend of mine bought herself the String shelf, and I'm considering the same. I'm happy the lovely icon now comes on many sweet colors too! Have you got this classic item in your home? 

Imagine these lollipop colored shelves on your wall! I'm crazy about the pink one.

 Of course, I'm also crazy about the Cañovas orange wallpaper too... 

More classic look. Are you a big fan of  retro look? 

I had the black & wood one in my student dorm while I studied at University. 

The blue one is such a candy, right?

How do you like this Scandi classic? Read more about String here.

helsinki design

Friends, I’m off to Helsinki again. This time it’s for my little niece’s 3 year party. 3! The girl was just born not long time ago for havens sake!

While I know I’m heading straight to the Iittala store to stock up on our latest find, the tiny cute Origo egg cup…



I know, it’s the tiniest thing ever :) I’m also lusting for of breakfast bowls and coffee mugs
 
… I still need to give you something aven cooler… This, my friends, is cool colorful stuff from nounou design.

Nounou Design was founded by designer and glassmaker Anu Penttinen in 2003, initially specializing in handblown & unique art glass objects. These black&white glass vessels still dominate the visual language of and give direction to all other areas of design.

Aren’t you convinced the Finns know their design? Proud.

Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you so eternally much for joining my blog yet another week. Your comments and emails make me so happy ♥♥♥

wonderful fall

I’m a bit confused since I’m not sure whether to curse the weather, or love the fact that it’s rainy and cozy… Yesterday, I posted a depressing view from the the bus on my way to work. My beautiful city looks dull, no? But still, I kind of love the fall. Alooot. The reason? The coloring.

Oki-dookeys, the coloring. Have a look at this beautiful fall inspired house.

Is the floor blue? Pretty. How about the  chandelier? Images from here.
