Striking monochrome in a Gothenburg home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! The week has been very mixed hasn't it? An inspiring work <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2015/02/the-fab-light-filled-studio-of-camille.html" target="_blank">studio in the US,</a> a Scandinavian style <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2015/02/inspiration-from-alejandrinas-beautiful.html" target="_blank">apartment in Mexico</a> and a <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2015/02/a-harmonious-swedish-space.html" target="_blank">calm Stockholm home</a>. Have you had a favourite? I thought I'd finish the week (see below) with a beautiful space in Sweden's second largest city - Gothenburg. The guys at <a href="http://entrancemakleri.se/hem-till-salu/objekt/493179/" target="_blank">Entrance</a> have worked their magic once again and created this fab monochrome space which is now<a href="http://entrancemakleri.se/hem-till-salu/objekt/493179/" target="_blank"> for sale</a>. (<i>I know</i>!) I think my favourite touch is the black stairs. Is there anything that stands out to you (the chair on the wall perhaps?!).<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikEcqYQhGzPBgZxXnEc8ixbOItGM2EbmGkiPvuEdbiM7tBMKwMQvMz8h8a-n_GEebcwEGamVvj88y9uJL6osJf-SFWEEH8DgAiEaHZrKhcRLzYAZtePvvtUmoqO7lcqdHQdw8f5oz9xXo/s1600/entrance9c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This is one beautiful home. The soft colours, the light, the sea and landscape photography, the relaxed feel.

Inspiration from Alejandrina's beautiful home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's safe to say <a href="http://www.alebesso.com/2013/08/hello.html" target="_blank">Alejandrina Bessoberto</a> has impeccable taste. That is, if the beautiful vignettes she captures of her home are anything to go by. But there's something unusual about the space too. Looking at the clean, monochrome style peppered with warm, natural wood, you'd be forgiven for thinking she's located in the heart of Scandinavia or at least has Nordic roots. In fact, Alejandrina lives in an apartment in Cabo San Lucas, México with her husband and (incredibly sweet) child where she works as a freelance graphic designer and an interior design student. Alejandrina documents her life which revolves around the sea, interior design and her family as well as her styling, collaborations and DIY projects on her stunning <a href="http://www.alebesso.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I'm her latest follower! <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The stunning Bavarian home of a photographer

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">You know when homes have a friend's name written all over them? This incredible space found over at <a href="http://www.vosgesparis.com/2015/02/an-industrial-home-with-authentic.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vosges Paris </a> <i>was made </i>for my sister, Cas! She loves vintage pieces (cinema seats, step ladders, tables), art photography and industrial lighting.  But the home of German photographer <a href="http://wertvollfotografie.de/" target="_blank">Petra Reger </a>and her family in Kompton, Bavaria is oh so much more too. Petra's home decorating style is part industrial, part vintage, part designer, part rock 'n' roll. Throw in the beautiful bones of the apartment including the original plaster wall in the kitchen and 100 year old parquet flooring and the result is an incredibly striking and unique home fit for a creative. How cool is this space?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9fR2CSWgMEvxR5G08XfUwLnPVd6x-XFVKpmnDKGEdWktl1k8Y0EVYjI1ZRWEYszpu-9JWybZDaIqpYgODV8UCquSQSF5VX_q5oD2ols3-acUVCgDAw0IqBwcDA844Qn4m7Ct8dhaaR_4l/s1600/petra2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

A charming and relaxed Dutch home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This lovely home by a canal in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, oozes charm and happiness. The family of four - Irene, her husband and two little girls - designed the living space themselves and centred everything around the home-made dining table where they like to gather.

Irene painted it in several colours before deciding on mint green (try Farrow & Ball <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/teresa%27s-green//farrow-ball/fcp-product/100236" target="_blank">Teresa's green</a> or <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/pale-powder//farrow-ball/fcp-product/100204" target="_blank">Pale Powder</a> for a similar effect). Other Dutch homes with great examples of hand painted furniture include <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/09/the-fabulous-home-of-dutch-designer.html" target="_blank">this </a>and <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/10/the-bright-and-happy-home-of-dutch.html" target="_blank">this </a>home). <br /><br />You can see more of this home captured by <a href="http://www.celinenuberg.com/home.html" target="_blank">Celine Nuberg </a>and a full write up (in Dutch) <a href="http://studiowolk.nl/onshuis/#.VNSb80jIB7A" target="_blank">here</a>. <br /><br />Since we're going all out Dutch today - you might want to check out other fab homes from The Netherland's previously featured here including <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/01/a-bright-white-and-airy-dutch-home.html" target="_blank">this</a>, <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2013/12/a-happy-and-relaxed-dutch-home-and.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/06/a-lovely-dutch-family-home.html" target="_blank">this</a> one. I love the use of colour! <br /><br />Have a lovely day!<br /><br />PS I'm so pleased to see the return of wonderful sponsor <a href="http://www.dorayaky.com/collections/all" target="_blank">Dorayaky,</a> a shop selling 100% handmade bags. Each bag is designed and manufactured by the creative duo Auroro Pérez and Fernando Albero in their studio in Valencia, Spain. The result is a range of <a href="http://www.dorayaky.com/collections/all" target="_blank">personal handbags</a> which capture their love for design and well-made objects. </div>
