One beautiful home, two different tours

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A few weeks back I showed the magnificent <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2014/12/the-unique-and-fabulous-home-of-swedish.html" target="_blank">home of Swedish stylist Marie Olsson Nylander</a> captured by estate agents <a href="http://valvet.capitex.se/bilder.aspx?TYP=CMVilla&GUID=4AL30M1L4GSM6MQL" target="_blank">Valvet</a>. And then I came across a second set of photographs of the same home over at  <a href="http://www.desiretoinspire.net/blog/2014/11/23/this-house.html" target="_blank">Desire to Inspire</a> captured by Sara Svenningrud. <a href="http://harvestagency.se/stylists/marie-olsson-nylander/" target="_blank">Marie's</a> unique sense of style shines through in both and yet the photographers have managed to capture the home in different ways. Both capture the romantic yet striking uniqueness of the family home in Höganäs, Skåne, and yet the angles and lighting is very different. Personally I'm hoping to find yet more images of this lovely home as I simply can't get enough of it, how about you?!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A cosy Swedish cottage ready for Christmas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you had a fabulous weekend?! Anyone in need of a cosy winter retreat?! If so, I have just the place! This lovely Swedish cottage in the snow is owned by Katarina Drevenlid, her two cats and pet dog. It's been decorated for Christmas using simple creative ideas which draw on the surrounding nature. Look closely and you'll see a star made of moss, pinecones in jars or strung together to create a pretty festive garland, sprigs of pine in a glass vase and a mini Christmas tree emerging from a demijohn. In Sweden it's also common to use fir tree branches as a makeshift doormat to wipe away excess snow from winter boots. Add a roaring fire, and a modern Christmas tree made from washi-tape or string and you're all set to go!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6jNOMtX4vLA_yPVyBrmZ7zsfdPN-F9LnsaEOvUB9eruMuAOASXBemgimocWv1jJEwh8ERV3QpEwIdWoZXSqUi0loBPDboT8VTcnEZVGLpdrkgenY3LxWaw1i3-QSUBTkyzAfU89uyav3C/s1600/christmas1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A relaxed, atmospheric family home in Malmö

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm so proud of my adopted home town of Malmö. Having moved to Sweden from London<i> ten years</i> ago, I've seen it grow into a thriving hub with a flourishing creative community. Yesterday's post of <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/12/my-little-girls-and-their-new-bedroom.html" target="_blank">my girls' bedroom</a> was the result of a collaboration with two talented Malmö girls and today's fabulous home tour is also here in Malmö. The relaxed family space belongs to former model <a href="http://malin.elledecoration.se/" target="_blank">Malin Persson</a>, blogger for Elle Decoration and self-confessed creative multi-tasker, her husband Damiano and children Tiago, Milo and Cleo. The family recently moved back to Sweden after a period in Rome, Italy. The two worlds have come together in the form of this beautiful, unique space, decorated with a mix of  fabulous vintage and antique finds and atmospheric colours.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I also like the dark colours - especially in the cute little girls bedroom. A similar colour scheme has been used in <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/01/the-dark-side-of-decorating.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://329db.blogspot.se/2014/03/a-fabulous-grey-australian-holiday-home.html" target="_blank">this</a> home.<br /><br />Another thing that stands out to me is the use of clothing as decoration. A negligée hung in the window of the bathroom softens the feel of the room and adds a romantic touch, as does the lovely dress hanging on the mirror in the bedroom.<br /><br />Is there anything that stands out to you?<br /><br />Today the sun will set at 3.25 pm - but really, it's never truly going to get light. This is why I'm eating my way through a packet of chocolate hob nobs. The good news? It's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Lucy%27s_Day" target="_blank">Saint Lucia</a> here tomorrow, a festival of light in which a girl wearing a crown of candles will lead a procession who will then <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk0FyZqNp5Q" target="_blank">sing</a>, and we'll enjoy a feast of <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/traditional-swedish-pepparkakor/" target="_blank">Pepparkaka</a>, <a href="http://scandinavianfood.about.com/od/swedishcelebrations/r/luciabuns.htm" target="_blank">saffron buns</a> and glögg (mulled wine).

My little girls and their new bedroom

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm so excited to share a glimpse of the newly decorated bedroom of my two little girls - Liv (6) and Ali (4) today. I couldn't show the room without an appearance from my girls, after all what's a children's room without children?! They were more than happy to be little models, in fact they had <i>such fun</i> during the shoot! I'm particularly proud of these images as they're the result of a collaboration with three Southern Sweden creative friends: Gen, interior stylist and owner of <a href="http://theyoungsters.se/" target="_blank">The Youngsters</a> helped me design the room, Malin, owner of oh so cool online shop <a href="http://www.ziggys.se/en/" target="_blank">Ziggys</a>, helped pick out the clothes and <a href="http://www.kimmepersson.se/" target="_blank">Kimme Persson</a> took the fab shots. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed creating them!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Yfi7p0j3z7BR2JGEEXb-XCKv6gdLqaX44yuF-mNhgNezWTz2q3rtArc8HfWgdftwZo1QDzMh0Gilf3KovQwYx0QMysqOsN-odIMZ_qdc_zqsoUUV0Y_Ox_pKhB6mMdVGMu_GlBHEVy7c/s1600/C82Q3025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A serene Swedish home in white and wood

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm writing today's post from a candlelit cafe by the sea here in Southern Sweden.  It's barely daylight and there's a storm raging over the sea. It's feels so cosy to be tucked up inside! Contrary to the weather outside, this Gothenburg space is a picture of calm. I love the black, white, grey, and wood theme with touches of brass. One item that stands out in particular is the vintage brass drinks trolley used as a side table in the sitting room. I could batten down the hatches and ride out a storm in this lovely apartment, how about you?<div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_WPEprMjlZgsLjdOZFkEFIWVhqFMhbDy7BU-NtobxHAO3gaYB3Myko6xUM6vGndHZu1qxP_oD-qgXt08Yb2AIjTrG6CAsu72yscNBah4K2z1oJagXFHnJe7WdKIqTQUAcUu1YkeuVjTyQ/s1600/shh3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Rustic Scandinavian Christmas inspiration

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This year I love the rustic, pared-back holiday feel. It's all about Christmas trees in glass vases, pared-back branches, pine cones and sheepskin throws. Add to that the rich aroma of piping hot buttered fig and rosemary cider, fresh pine, and cinnamon and I'm well on my way to a cosy rustic Scandinavian Christmas.
