Swedish apartment in white and grey

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Good morning!

The cool home of a Danish architect

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's Friday, the sun's shining and things are hotting up here in Malmö! Hope they are where you are too?! Just over the bridge in Denmark is this oh so cool Danish home belonging to architect <a href="http://holscherdesign.com/" target="_blank">Friederike Faller</a>. Friedericke and his family have decorated the space with muted tones and made maximum use of every square inch (check out the high storage in the hall, kitchen, sitting room and dining room and the desks in the bedroom). I also love the way <a href="http://en.mikkeladsbol.dk/" target="_blank">Mikkel Adsbol</a> has photographed it  - the angles, the light. A perfect home tour for a Friday don't you think?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYiDAaey_08lX_6pQTQr9je6OQn2Let3aojUklJSnJ71tnPjWow6wu0kzeNkGMu2H-Au2laCTwQIAnSrF-b6UIJqs3SuqyCPmwCxi5bmdbc4okPp8e0VGcwTM8XBtOXYvlW5CLZ3Kqb8/s1600/mikkel6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A zen Australian home with fabulous architecture

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I'm not sure if I'm ready to post yet today - I'm still recovering from the idyllic Swedish cabin in <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2014/04/a-lovely-relaxed-cabin-in-stockholm.html" target="_blank">yesterday's post</a>. Wasn't it fantastic?! I need to find somewhere like that to stay this summer. Anyway, onwards and upwards and from one beautiful home to another beautiful home in a very different way. This Australian home was designed by <a href="http://whitingarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Whiting Architects</a> (found over at beautiful <a href="http://blissfulbblog.com/blog/2014/4/1/australian-abode-by-whiting-architecture.html" target="_blank">Bliss blog</a>). Look closely at the interior architecture and you'll see nooks, hidden windows, barn doors and beautiful lighting. Decorated with shades of grey and the slightest hint of a dusty pink accent, it has a very zen feel don't you think?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A lovely relaxed cabin in the Stockholm archipelagos

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Since the clocks went forward and the evenings have got lighter, I've dared to dream of long lazy summer days. In Scandinavia it's popular to head to pared-back summer cottages by a sea or lake and spend the summer surrounded by family, friends and nature. This bohemian cabin out in the Stockholm archipelago is the holiday home of Swedish designer <a href="http://www.carouschka.se/" target="_blank">Carouschka Streijffert</a>. Decorated with a mix of antique finds and treasures picked up on travels,  it's surely impossible to be anything but relaxed with it's laid back style and incredible vista. And if the weather turns - throw a couple of logs on the fire. What's not to love?!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOzg5YJ59HNLdoi57GLZyU0vHiGMG5wLQHq2wpHdAXbTFGY59_whHfU6jVm2OmfmwWy9b4SIxgbbdS9gu_eQjYoZZf_uLv75HALzz6gaOhIGEZTvOZhsbQb3uQOcdfVqEVx1eZV0akT98/s1600/swede1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

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;
