The fabulous Flinders Lane Apartment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The plywood trend has been popular for a while now, and I can see why. <a href="http://clarecousins.com.au/projects/flinders-lane-apartment/" target="_blank">Flinders Lane Apartment</a> in Melbourne has been artfully designed by <a href="http://clarecousins.com.au/projects/flinders-lane-apartment/" target="_blank">Claire Cousins</a>, Dita Beluli and Jessie Fowler to create a family space on a small budget. The owners were looking to create two bedrooms out of one o make space for a baby. Plywood joinery has been used to define the two spaces instead of building actual walls. The plywood also cleverly doubles up as storage space. I love the way the apartment has been finished including the pretty touches of salmon.  What a massively cool family home!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01_XLMV-U8fzscoQL2W-Y86Sf1u_N_OXdrvJ86jOiF8ZrcAzelyAzE7fZFBA4LZSgfOQQUcPoSIiS6wGAjER_rHF-MQlRQISCNKoAIk6OByA5ylhrKSbveKNwzQ0x4V_EYGj7itkejLI/s1600/Flinders6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01_XLMV-U8fzscoQL2W-Y86Sf1u_N_OXdrvJ86jOiF8ZrcAzelyAzE7fZFBA4LZSgfOQQUcPoSIiS6wGAjER_rHF-MQlRQISCNKoAIk6OByA5ylhrKSbveKNwzQ0x4V_EYGj7itkejLI/s1600/Flinders6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dhrkUXF9Qzmf0zU5Dtf3FgXCDswqcnMpmql1GUwFZ0LKrlAfVfYJ-QKS5L2BdxJA0fnjl88ctG2qIQMO-XyZXvN1g60imfS3gorFJy0tXe7v7IRUXyiNKmIaRA8xTKKtAnn0G6P_gVs/s1600/Flinders4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dhrkUXF9Qzmf0zU5Dtf3FgXCDswqcnMpmql1GUwFZ0LKrlAfVfYJ-QKS5L2BdxJA0fnjl88ctG2qIQMO-XyZXvN1g60imfS3gorFJy0tXe7v7IRUXyiNKmIaRA8xTKKtAnn0G6P_gVs/s1600/Flinders4.jpg" width="460" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqAdEEQbSYNyZU456Lw81J4xFZVaGKzcP14k4B_t6rrmO4MEH-eH9umJoUxnI_B32yr5ONG6kMtwLjJS_q9BksQYEhU_JYTpxpVXdEtAsrcGXgyGhd3OPNBRBGW3WokXxW3NiE5w-ZU4/s1600/flinders2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqAdEEQbSYNyZU456Lw81J4xFZVaGKzcP14k4B_t6rrmO4MEH-eH9umJoUxnI_B32yr5ONG6kMtwLjJS_q9BksQYEhU_JYTpxpVXdEtAsrcGXgyGhd3OPNBRBGW3WokXxW3NiE5w-ZU4/s1600/flinders2.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlOjswZGB7ZKcmcPICpYeyN7kp4f5Eg0yl6DJ5rJzNStkRmnoySNB67Yxv2VQOUI9nsgCzDMVMBHkqZuMbdUgzpTJrEIJH7dOr6OREXYO4vgBys6Erdz6KESkk3vjNbvbQiHo8xuvT5bg/s1600/Flinders1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlOjswZGB7ZKcmcPICpYeyN7kp4f5Eg0yl6DJ5rJzNStkRmnoySNB67Yxv2VQOUI9nsgCzDMVMBHkqZuMbdUgzpTJrEIJH7dOr6OREXYO4vgBys6Erdz6KESkk3vjNbvbQiHo8xuvT5bg/s1600/Flinders1.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnih4h0QHY9m34B-P19PeSQ8yKQ2M1Uj1tbZ9oWqHkOd7F24LebiovWPAhbNFRBEu1jZ6fwd5un4RfNTnjZtmbRxJ-uoDojWweJbS_V4mYiOvnUe93Hwceu_WKArC6PMH3pN02QbIz60/s1600/Flinders3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnih4h0QHY9m34B-P19PeSQ8yKQ2M1Uj1tbZ9oWqHkOd7F24LebiovWPAhbNFRBEu1jZ6fwd5un4RfNTnjZtmbRxJ-uoDojWweJbS_V4mYiOvnUe93Hwceu_WKArC6PMH3pN02QbIz60/s1600/Flinders3.jpg" width="404" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlAFOPTUrGKTmj3UPfgtNsVsIT8n3WlfkVb0usUG0qFAaNrSAuB5lnHIblJc6KIwjKyOGoBFAC6bhjmgRAuIrfAF7gInrn7oOz6W9jIAB-ymoMOYIhFG_lSbvcbbzIi_z7Crn6bLMot9A/s1600/Flinders10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlAFOPTUrGKTmj3UPfgtNsVsIT8n3WlfkVb0usUG0qFAaNrSAuB5lnHIblJc6KIwjKyOGoBFAC6bhjmgRAuIrfAF7gInrn7oOz6W9jIAB-ymoMOYIhFG_lSbvcbbzIi_z7Crn6bLMot9A/s1600/Flinders10.jpg" width="404" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Designers: <a href="http://clarecousins.com.au/projects/flinders-lane-apartment/" target="_blank">Claire Cousins</a>, Dita Beluli & Jessie Fowler.

The house gardener

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm a big fan of indoor plants, not only  do they look beautiful but word has it they also help to purify air and relieve stress. Forget standard pots though. Indoor plants have had something of a make-over of late and terracotta planters have been replaced by terrarium pyramids, eclectic glass vessels and DIY plant hangers. I was so excited to discover the new book '<a href="http://www.rylandpeters.com/ourshop/home-and-garden/the-house-gardener" target="_blank">The House Gardener</a>' by Isabelle Palmer which is packed with indoor gardening tips such as how to create your own terrarium, table centre or even a fairy-tale garden for children.

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! Indoors is the best place to be today -  and I have just came across this little gem on <a href="http://www.stadshem.se/till-salu/obj24162_1333141146#images" target="_blank">Stadshem</a>. This two room apartment is teeming with vintage finds and mid-century pieces. I love the white, black and cognac colour scheme too, very lovely.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdOS_n6wdGJzvof5jtOKQoPfv7IzcquUw4qba5bVtZZFQEEU4yZxi-xFi5EplRZUQohIQAyMpNExNJSolcN_3qk7tbVDiiL9K5sfkL0Nj0k5Bm3m6n2_iMYU0Z_aHuGE3eL11TrbKiNAc/s1600/sh1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdOS_n6wdGJzvof5jtOKQoPfv7IzcquUw4qba5bVtZZFQEEU4yZxi-xFi5EplRZUQohIQAyMpNExNJSolcN_3qk7tbVDiiL9K5sfkL0Nj0k5Bm3m6n2_iMYU0Z_aHuGE3eL11TrbKiNAc/s1600/sh1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLlvR-CHmH5vsKbioqgHUoIpF5m6it-9zYIrEF3ltq6TH2SDTYUVyC5KuwgqGnwyywi4V4GIz876UcMg1Yyyt6FulMsmVd8M-Tp_VDhQyiDu0MAoP5Z-gFOdoqlIsuut7yFUCZgXDUo8/s1600/sh2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLlvR-CHmH5vsKbioqgHUoIpF5m6it-9zYIrEF3ltq6TH2SDTYUVyC5KuwgqGnwyywi4V4GIz876UcMg1Yyyt6FulMsmVd8M-Tp_VDhQyiDu0MAoP5Z-gFOdoqlIsuut7yFUCZgXDUo8/s1600/sh2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrZAfkEvVm9_Kq9f2mJhiuxKmzSeHvtRSM1zMXNIGKx18ILBRnoTUHOSh5AprE-JYg4vrWSFtMrobdeaFpgC0rZ_nk9U9foy_4DdHHDdDKN_pNWn90ChMWoSdX_WvIMwEr0nQYAAYTN00/s1600/sh5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrZAfkEvVm9_Kq9f2mJhiuxKmzSeHvtRSM1zMXNIGKx18ILBRnoTUHOSh5AprE-JYg4vrWSFtMrobdeaFpgC0rZ_nk9U9foy_4DdHHDdDKN_pNWn90ChMWoSdX_WvIMwEr0nQYAAYTN00/s1600/sh5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhINXg-r46HpFSF4QDsUbIVY8FX_GEzeDDrB5xTaEYyFY2aVUuQ4a5tfiAItOyGYw2Pk6gIsb3rHRtKw4QCGx61ULvzpF8vaqY4iNu_bMoDmF6h01H88JcJSy9QXLbVXoyaCLukQ3QzI8o/s1600/sh8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhINXg-r46HpFSF4QDsUbIVY8FX_GEzeDDrB5xTaEYyFY2aVUuQ4a5tfiAItOyGYw2Pk6gIsb3rHRtKw4QCGx61ULvzpF8vaqY4iNu_bMoDmF6h01H88JcJSy9QXLbVXoyaCLukQ3QzI8o/s1600/sh8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1tgpH8GNricSAyLGP6a4dvVZWv5OMJ3cwYuVRO7hnbrfp9Mzo79OCkn-g-YKDNObKVEWVaOTDPkETwmDCOEaUPMfzXhFucb_2_QlCGGhCnfn2RoeBxGc4AvRnplQBkhcQWuXqjkJMlc/s1600/sh7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1tgpH8GNricSAyLGP6a4dvVZWv5OMJ3cwYuVRO7hnbrfp9Mzo79OCkn-g-YKDNObKVEWVaOTDPkETwmDCOEaUPMfzXhFucb_2_QlCGGhCnfn2RoeBxGc4AvRnplQBkhcQWuXqjkJMlc/s1600/sh7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDpLFPBpdnbuaoIsckQn72Hq46CG44RRzyz9_I_zdYg7z_5JWrrDu0vi7UULMdo5n9IRlbwrGYhV5wpvCmRoygjo9yJkDw98B1UdAtauYb0ZOVcrriIYkiJN-7Kdde7lX1IvlWbkZRwU/s1600/sh9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDpLFPBpdnbuaoIsckQn72Hq46CG44RRzyz9_I_zdYg7z_5JWrrDu0vi7UULMdo5n9IRlbwrGYhV5wpvCmRoygjo9yJkDw98B1UdAtauYb0ZOVcrriIYkiJN-7Kdde7lX1IvlWbkZRwU/s1600/sh9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwZt362OVmJROdO6E6GmlrtnHX7RdGACl5grCEuiQSwH8ubjZGBpUQFlXVNSGxOtkbuuT1wk4SN3m2KqddrKtJ-fEyyDB681mahJH-boVW_MLfk64g2NG5xwWvyvLtA6zj2kvTF4sjb4/s1600/sh4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwZt362OVmJROdO6E6GmlrtnHX7RdGACl5grCEuiQSwH8ubjZGBpUQFlXVNSGxOtkbuuT1wk4SN3m2KqddrKtJ-fEyyDB681mahJH-boVW_MLfk64g2NG5xwWvyvLtA6zj2kvTF4sjb4/s1600/sh4.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stadshem.se/till-salu/obj24162_1333141146#images" target="_blank">Stadshem</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />I can't take my eyes of that black gloss <a href="http://ao.com/product/FAB30RFN-Smeg-Right-Hand-Hinge-Fridge-Freezer-Black-27763.aspx" target="_blank">Smeg fridge</a>!

The happy home of Johanna Flyckt Gashi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Friday calls for a relaxed, characterful home don't you think? This happy home fits the bill perfectly. It belongs to Swedish interior stylist and blogger <a href="http://johanna-vintage.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">Johanna Flyckt Gashi</a> (the stylist behind <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2014/04/a-cool-monochrome-swedish-home.html" target="_blank">yesterday's home</a>), husband Luzim and their three children. Photographed by <a href="http://www.linaostling.se/" target="_blank">Lina Östling</a>, the family cottage near Borås has been decorated using a wonderful mix of treasured vintage, antique and flee market finds. I particularly love how they've installed windows reclaimed from Johanna's Grandmother's farm between rooms.  I could spend hours looking at this space, couldn't you?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A cool monochrome Swedish home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">P and I had very different ideas of what we were looking for when we bought <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/search?q=my+home+captured" target="_blank">our house</a> but after a broad search we moved 50 metres! My parents did the same when we were small. It just goes to show what you are looking for is often right under your nose! Do you find this to be true? Swedish pair Lina and Andreas Kanstrup were planning a new build when a house came on the market 100 metres away. They were sceptical but the moment they walked in the door they <i>knew</i> it was right and all building plans went out the window. They renovated their new house from scratch learning lessons on the way and relying on gut instinct.

Della's delightful room

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As you may know I'm a proud Mum to two lovely ladies who are 3 and 5. I've realised that no room is more fun to decorate than a children's room. Not only can you go a bit wild, but also it needs constant updating as they grow - perfect excuse if ever I needed one!  I'm always keeping an eye out for children's rooms on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/children/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. And today I spotted this very cool space belonging to little 18 month old Della. The monochrome room was designed by her Swedish Mummy and Daddy: Sandra and Marcus, the creative duo behind playful graphic poster shop <a href="http://miniwilla.se/index.html" target="_blank">Miniwilla</a>. Thank you Della, for allowing me to share a tour of your room today!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ9jQQWninbRSPK7lfRrFnTMK-eyAsmqRXab9L8Rwtq6ATLM-R3B3-AB-gyHt-ZUQd4fugu_DYG1jpgtvqwqzdMSkgJWycNWiOVrXxk6_abcT0vEPh_RcjaQRURBS-AHgYx4wwGcPij0k/s1600/mini1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
