The happy home of Jenny Brandt

Friday definitely calls  for colour. I've shown other images of this fab home before and now new pictures have emerged in the wonderful April edition of Inside Out magazine (available at Google Play and the Apple Newstand). It's the bright coloured and relaxed family home of Swedish blogger, illustrator and photographer (yes, she's one multi-talented lady), Jenny Brandt here in Skåne. Jenny and her family renovated the home from scratch, painting the floors (if you look closely, they're different throughout the house), adding more windows to create natural light as well as a unique personal stamp to everything within. Perfect inspiration for the weekend!

I love the wall of prints. I spy the Fine Little Day Apple Papple and Pirum Parum prints from Mokkasin as well as the Blushing Carl print from Jenny's shop.

For more happy homes with a splash of colour I'm loving Elina Dahls family space, this bright coloured Malmö home, and a vintage inspired Swedish apartment.

Speaking of happiness, do you have any plans for the weekend? P and I have been invited to a 'Lost at Sea' themed party. We're thinking if going as Life of Pi - with P as Piscine and me as the zebra (I definitely got the short straw didn't I?!).  The problem is we'd like to go for a pre-party drink in town and call me a party pooper but I'm not sure I'm willing to do that clad as a zebra? What do you think?  Other ideas welcome!!

Also the clocks finally go forward this weekend. This definitely calls for a celebration so I'm throwing a very exciting give-away here on Sunday. Make sure you stop by - it's open to all!

Have a very happy couple of days and see you Sunday!

An apartment in Stockholm with a happy glow

It's Friday - woohooo! Up to anything great this weekend? I think I'll be doing a lot of lazing around with my family in the last of the summer sun and enjoying long breakfasts like the one seen in these inspiring images. It's amazing what a difference pops of yellow do to a space, the colour instantly adds warmth and happiness. I love the way it's used as an accent against the soft pastels and greys too.

This home makes me feel happy, how about you?

If you feel like seeing more work from Fantastic Frank check out the homes here and here. And if it's a spot of of yellow you're after, there's a whole host of homes using a pop of yellow here!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend full of long breakfasts and little rays of sunshine!

See you Monday!

The fab Gothenburg home of a scandinavian design shop owner

Hej hej! Today I'm admiring this cool apartment in Gothenburg which is currently for sale (snap it up why don't you?!). According to La Maison D'Anna G blog it's the home of  design store and very cool web shop Aschebergsgatan 29 owners, where you can buy many of the items you see in their home. Dangerous! I love all the colours they have used and would love a 'filt cross' orange blanket like the one on the bed.

Any particualr colours you would go for in your home? The gun metal grey? or the bright yellow perhaps? Happy shopping!

Black, white with a touch of yellow Swedish home

Hello and happy Friday! I wanted to share this fascinating home with you. I like lots of things about this space. The pops of yellow that break up the black and white, all the different textures used on the walls. And the eclectic mix of furniture ranging from modern IKEA and industrial style to and mid-century. Very lovely.

I love the gallery of Therese Sennerholt prints in the third picture. My husband gave me the 'sweet dreams are made of you' Therese Sennerholt print for Christmas last year and it has prime place on my gallery wall. I love it! Latté time  :)
