A cosy weatherboard cottage interior

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The final home tour of the week always needs to be fabulous. I search in particular for somewhere that warms the heart, somewhere perhaps where you could see yourself spending the weekend. And this home hits the mark. Spotted over at blog extraordinaire <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2014/07/a-collector-at-home-in-australia.html" target="_blank">Design Sponge</a>, the 1890's weatherboard cottage in Queensland, Australian is home of photographer and stylist <a href="http://www.kararosenlund.com/" target="_blank">Kara Rosenlund</a> and her husband. It's crammed with beautiful treasures collected over the years from all their travels as well as local vintage finds. Kara takes a lot of her inspiration from nature and you can seen this in the autumnal colours and mix of browns and whites. Could you spend your weekend here?!<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiISDS5jpdHGHKQZnfKDh-PRNLTvWmhr_cz9DsK-5ZT29QivoWnjlt_K0shAMAlSF2Am-5cjnZivLXzlFqx1B9irjDYHkhTMgNSa4A6IoqEE1vdn9cLGn0LBQpu_VRkH6KwIaRKFkNtMQFR/s1600/KL2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Monochrome and cognac in a vintage inspired apartment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I hope you had a wonderful weekend? We've had real April showers here in Southern Sweden and as I write from my corner in a cafe by the sea this morning the rain is coming down in sheets outside, it's all very cosy!
