A super stylish get-away in Northern Sweden

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I hope you had a great weekend?! I'm often receiving mails from readers asking for suggestions of wonderful places to stay in Sweden. And today I found a new tip - <a href="http://www.sagverket.se/" target="_blank">Sågverket</a> - an oh so cool youth hostel / conference centre in Northern Sweden. Described recently in <a href="http://residencemagazine.se/" target="_blank">Residence </a>magazine as Norrland's super stylish hang out, Sågverkat is a got-to place for romantic weekends, creative conference or simply somewhere to relax and get-away from it all in a stylish environment. Personally I'd go there just to enjoy the decor and scenery alone how about you?! But we all need to be quick, it's up for sale. Anyone sitting at their desk this Monday morning feeling like a new challenge?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHTRXibUtGyxUjJCiQawg_O47-bqxiHD3dkhIQuFPsTMVs7UdruZMSNFIxPavOzzoCE2n99UHuR4wvUChB9UUtkRO-ErfEX2iMSHcu_LAcDq5z9KjfQ_xxobwUTAH221O2-g-MCC5NR6da/s1600/house1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A wonderful Copenhagen home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Happy April Fool's day! Have you fooled anyone yet?! In the UK you've got until midday but in Sweden you've the whole day - and then, once fooled you call your poor, unsuspecting subject a silly herring. What about in your country?! I'm oh so excited about today's home tour photographed by <a href="http://www.tiaborgsmidt.dk/" target="_blank">Tia Borgsmidt</a> for the wonderful Danish magazine <a href="http://www.boligliv.dk/Indretning/indretning/lys-bylejlighed-enkel-stil-med-arvemobler/" target="_blank">BoligLiv</a>. It's the home of Marie and Andreas and their two children Uma and Morris just over the bridge in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. The space is teeming with personal items including art and furniture they've either inherited or sourced from antique and second hand markets. It's such a wonderful, unique home!<br /><br /><div class="introduction" style="color: #686868; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;
