grey

 
I’ve been busy thinking about the decor in our new home, and with the wallpaper sample in my hand, I’m leaning towards full on grey bedroom. How about that? The space is very small, so there’s not much furniture we can accommodate, but I’m thinking now the walls and textiles {surprisingly}.

I have some fabulous greys in my new collection of home textiles. I’m itching in my bones since I cannot show them yet!! But soon my friends… :)


However, would our bedroom look nice in grey? Would that room stay grey for a longer period of time? Given my love for colors, would I be happy with this? We shall see…

apartment in stockholm

Today’s apartment caught my eye for following reasons: The white kitchen cabinets look edible delicious. The warm coloring draws my senses to the fall. I love fall. The nice wall art inspires me to re-do our walls.

new wallpapers

I’m finally making decisions what comes to wallpapers into our new home. We still have some months to wait, but according to the latest newsletter from the contractor, we can actually visit the place and have a look in August! How cool is that? We’ve only been waiting about a year and a half :)

So, I dragged my guy to the wallpaper store where I spent my friday night after work. I showed him some of my ideas and luckily, he totally bought them!

So, I ordered samples of these lovelities. Since we can visit the flat in couple of weeks (??), it’s good to be prepared. We want to wallpaper BEFORE we move in so why not start testing the samples on walls and to see how they look like in the lightning.

We will also change the moldings. Or infact, we prohibit the contractor from setting any moldings since the only ones they had were very plain boring ones. So, we really need to set up the wallpapers before we start with that work!

OK, to the wallpapers now…

Bedroom walls are going to be covered with this Sandberg Vera wallpaper. The first color option is black and the background is mmore to dark greige than full gray.

The other color option is Mocca… I still cannot choose.

Then, to the hallway… We decided, after looong process of finding the perfect trellis that this Cole and Son beauty is the one. In black and white. No second thoughts here!

Finally, this beautiful GP & J Baker wallpaper from the collection called Holcott is our choice for the living room. I have had this on my radars for a long time now, and I’m happy I still find it the best. And so does my guy, magically ;)

   

So, what’s your opinion? Like these? Not like? Any other tips before we seal the deal?

small luxury

I found this lovely little home via one of my favorite Swedish bloggers, and just wanted to share it. I’m totally loving the bed, wallpapers and the golden mirrors! What a little fabulous place.

The floors look really delicious too!
How’s your week started? Mine is good, I just received a little package with samples from one of my chosen suppliers. I can’t wait to see what’s in it!

summer house dreaming

It’s friday already! I can’t believe how fast this week has gone… So  much things to do, and so much have I also accomplished. I am finishing the design part of my products, and now looking for the perfect supplier to meet my needs. I might just have found one, and right now I’m expecting some samples to arrive. I’m so excited!

Meanwhile, we are looking for summer house to buy… Found one really nice object that would need a lot of TLC… But it’s close to Stockholm, price is OK and the best of all – it’s close to a lake! Let me get back to how it proceeds.




This is not the house we are looking for, but could easily be the finished summer home for us!


Have a lovely weekend! We are heading to Helsinki to meet my family.

my favorites

A few things I enjoy more than anything at the moment...

My copy of Decorate by Holly arrived yesterday. I'm beyond excited!

I'm busy coloring my life...

I love our new throw from Dubai... Yes, we went to Dubai last March, ans it was fabulous!

We are going to Helsinki this weekend to meet my lovely nieces. I can't wait to give them the souvenirs we bought in the States...

The weather is sunny and beautiful in Stockholm. We enjoy our weekend trips to the Swedish countryside, and exercising in the park near our home. We are also looking for to buy our own summer cottage! That - my friends - will be one heavenly project for us!

I’m currently collecting a lot of art since we are moving into a new apartment quite soon. The apartment is completely new, all white space. It’s a real dream come true for me!
Here’s some inspiration I found via sweet Kellie. I  love these!

Hello, world. Is anyone here?

My friends, I know, I've been away for a looong time now...

How are you doing? 


I am doing good, so many things been going on so I don't know where to start...

We had a lovely holiday to the USA last month. We landed in NY, continued to New Mexico after couple of fabulous days in NYC, then drove a car around New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California. We visited so many places, and saw so much interesting that I'm totally USA fan! I also declared some weeks ago that I think we really must consider moving to San Francisco... Let's see how that goes in the future!

NYC was fabulous

I truly enjoyed driving around in the South

Wine tasting in Napa Valley. OH la la

I left my heart in San Francisco...

Then, we have been planning our wedding! Not any exact plans yet but it's definitely coming together now.

Also, our moving date is coming closer. We have been building watching contruction company to build us a new home in Stockholm, and now after 1,5 years waiting the moving date is coming closer! So, stay tuned for a total furnishing / wallpapering / painting / decorating story!

And, some more exciting news for you... I have, after a long time of dreaming and planning, finally started my own business! We (yes, I've got some pretty talented people in the game) are designing our first ever interior decor collection. Isn't it GREAT? I'm so excited to show you all what we've been doing for the last months now!

OK now, I hope to see you soon girls! I've been missing you a lot!
