Meet the Blogger Stockholm

Friday.. how are you? I'm so excited! So many fun plans ahead, and we actually got some snow in Stockholm last night! Not that I look forward pushing my Bugaboo in a snow storm but it's pretty beautiful outside.

(just kidding, not quite there yet)

I met wonderful Lise from Tulipa Media (you might also know her from Urban Style Vibes, the blog with a lot of gorgeous travel & interior tips) some weeks ago here in Stockholm. She is planning the popular event, Meet the Blogger, in Stockholm in February 2013! I'm so excited to be part of the event. We have a lot of fun planned, so be sure to check out the website for regular news!

bathroom ideas

Hubby asked me the other day what-the-devilish I am planning to do with the bathroom upstairs. It's not pretty at the moment, and we need to do a total re-design for it. However, we must keep the budget very low, since the main bathroom downstairs is going to swallow most of the money.

My plan so far is to paint the walls, since it can be done with low budget. The walls are covered in linoleum, so they are somehow paintable... These images serve as my inspiration right now.

Our cabinets are somewhat alike the one above. That thing will stay.

Love me some drama of the gold painted mirrors.

I will shoot some pictures in the new bathroom soon!

wallpapers to our bedroom

The wallpaper fiesta is going to continue here! I ordered samples and now also rolls for our new house, and this is what we chose for the master bedroom.

Again, wallpaper from Boråstapeter and collection Karlslund. We thought we wanted to choose old Swedish wallpapers to preserve the cozy feel of the house. 

plans for the new house

As I told last week, we are moving into our first house in just a few weeks and the excitement is mind blowing. We visited the house this weekend, and went through the construction and all stuff that one needs to check before sealing the deal. Also got to meet the lovely family who is selling the house. The more we talked to them and the more we investigated the house (with a professional contruction engineer), the more LOVE we felt. It is going to be amazing!

Now, the move obviously triggers many decoration plans. We are going to do a full paint - wallpaper job in every room, so I'm busy with ordering samples and deciding about the furniture arrangements. This is what we picked for the baby's room.

The wallpaper Falsterbo från the Swedish brand Boråstapeter. 

Looks pretty amazing, right?

The room will have some pink details, just like in our current nursery. Which is NOT finished at all by the way... 

My baby girl's first sneakers.

Pretty pompoms

Designers Guild pillows and my old blanket from the 70's.

 Stay tuned for more plans!

moving again

I have some exciting news for you... We are moving AGAIN! As you might remember, we moved into our new apartment for some months ago, after had waited for the house to finish about 2 years. And even if we really loved the new home, we decided to sell it and buy a house!

Our pretty apartment

So, our little family is about to move again! We bought a lovely 70's house outside Stockholm, and will start renovating it in November. 

The new house looks like this

Pardon for crappy pictures! We will shoot new ones once we have moved, and obviosly start documenting the progress! TOO EXCITING!!
