Do you live in a building with a cool history?

This beautiful Stockholm apartment is laid out over two floors of a former piano factory (sounds so romantic don't you think?). It's been completely modernised and houses some fab designer pieces (more on that below) but the beautiful bones of the early 20th century building are still evident and the huge windows flood the space with light even on the darkest of days. I could call this space my home, could you?! perhaps I'd need to add a piano like the one in this home, just for old times sake?!

The kitchen in particular is utterly striking - I could imagine an evening with friends - good food, candles, music, perhaps a little dancing?!

Is there any part of this home you like in particular?

A few items I know and love: Artichoke Suspension Light, String shelving system, Tolix chairs, HAY strap mirror.

I do absolutely love the idea of a conversion don't you? I've seen so many fabulous converted spaces over the years including a converted carpenter's workshopbar, monks retreat, barn, garage and garden shed. In other words, you could convert just about anything and make an incredible living space!

Is there a cool history behind your living space?

A fab home tour with a twist

Happy Monday! This year I've shown at least three homes for sale through Fantastic Frank. Honestly, looking through their website is like flipping through an interior magazine! So you can imagine how excited I was to find Fantastic Frank have collaborated with Swedish label MES DAMES to shoot home. With roots in France and now based in Stockholm, MES DAMES was founded by designer Lisa Wikander and creates beautifully tailored and cool clothes with a twist for women. Love the home and am so excited about the whole idea...so inspiring!

A round bed? Why not?!

See more images of the home and collection here, or for a complete write up check out the FF blog

Other exciting Fantastic Frank inspiration include this, this and this post. 

Or if you'd like to take a peek inside the homes of other fashion designers check out this or this home. So wonderful!

This home has totally got me thinking about who I'd team my home with. Perhaps Danish fashion brand Sofie Schnoor? Or my other staple favourite clothing company Day? Who would you team your home with?

Have a lovely day!

A monochrome apartment with a touch of orange

Hello Monday! I hope you had a great weekend? It seems Fantastic Frank is taking my blog by storm this January. Here is another wonderful Stockholm apartment styled and photographed for sale by the Swedish estate agent. Decorated in monochrome save for a bold orange touch in the dining area, this home has so many inspiring details.







Fantastic Frank via 79 ideas

I love the artwork, mood boards and use of greenery (especially next to the bed!). Personally I'm not a big fan of orange and would have preferred to have seen a mix match of chairs around the table but hey, that's at a push because I would say this apartment is next to perfect! How about you?

I spy the Vitra wire chair and Eames DSR in orange (15% off with MYSCAN),  The HAY standard loop table is similar, and Anglepoise desk lamps lights.

In case you've missed them, her's a warren of fab apartments from Fantastic Frank?

Incidentally this year I've big plans for my blog (more to follow!). Among one of my goals is to create a My Scandinavian Home app - but how to get started?! Do you know how, where, what?! Would love some tips.

Have a lovely Monday!

Fab interior styling and images by Fantastic Frank

 Today's inspiration comes from one of my favourite Swedish estate agents Fantastic Frank. The images and the way they style the homes for shoots is always a winner and looking through their website is like flipping through the latest copy of an interior magazine. Here's my selection:










There's quite an eclectic mix of spaces here, do you have a favourite?

Here are some other fab homes by Fantastic Frank, and while we're at it, what about my selection of homes from Stadshem (here) and Alvhem (here) recently?! It's a Swedish estate agent bonanza day!

I'm currently in London visiting friends and family (yay!). I'm hoping to have the time to pop into some of my favourite interior shops and tomorrow I've got an extremely exciting day planned.... wedding dress shopping with my wonderful sister who's getting married next summer. Can't wait! Champagne is in order no?!

A Stockholm apartment with a 'twist'!

Hello Thursday! I wasn't kidding when I said this Stockholm apartment has a 'twist'. Currently for sale through Fantastic Frank it has been styled with a strong theme throughout -  'cross-legged' or 'twisted' furniture legs! Look closely and you'll see them everywhere. How very cool! I also love some of the subtle light grey walls which soften up the starkness of the white. How about you?







Fantastic Frank via Emmas Design blog

Many of the items you see are from fab brands No Early Birds and One Nordic.

Fantastic Frank are pioneers in exploring funky ways to style an apartment for sale (see cool examples of their homes here, here and here).

This is catching on across the Swedish estate agent scene and recently a home swept across Swedish Facebook sites because one seller took funky styling to a new level. Take a look for yourself here and see if you recognise a link between the rooms?!!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Penthouse apartment in Stockholm, yes please!

Happy Friday! And Oj oj oj, look at this beautiful Stockholm apartment. I love it because it has everything I love in a city home - wooden beams, a fireplace, concrete stairs, white walls and a wonderful roof top view. 'Underbara!'. And the good news? It's actually for sale through Fantastic Frank. Oh yeees. Mr Frank You've made my Friday, you really are fantastic! 

Around the table I spy the Urban chair in white from IKEA. But where is the wonderful cluster light from? Any ideas?

Beautiful, white concrete stairs. Tick!

Fab two toned colour scheme :) and just look at that shiny gold lamp. Tick tick tick!

All pictures: Fantastic Frank
I'm just off to buy a lottery ticket... ha! But back in a little while once the dream cloud has dispersed into the Friday morning sky. Pop back and see me to dream over some wonderful ideas for the home on this lovely POETS (push off early tomorrow's saturday) day.

An apartment in Stockholm with a happy glow

It's Friday - woohooo! Up to anything great this weekend? I think I'll be doing a lot of lazing around with my family in the last of the summer sun and enjoying long breakfasts like the one seen in these inspiring images. It's amazing what a difference pops of yellow do to a space, the colour instantly adds warmth and happiness. I love the way it's used as an accent against the soft pastels and greys too.







Fantastic Frank via Feel inspired 

This home makes me feel happy, how about you?

If you feel like seeing more work from Fantastic Frank check out the homes here and here. And if it's a spot of of yellow you're after, there's a whole host of homes using a pop of yellow here!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend full of long breakfasts and little rays of sunshine!

See you Monday!

An artist's studio and home in Stockholm

Hello! Hope you had a wonderful weekend? It was one of those rare late summer weekends here where the sky is deep blue and the air crisp - so we headed off into the woods again for a picnic with friends. I hope you managed to switch off, if only for a few hours, too?! I'm feeling kind of creative this morning which is why I fell for this studio in Kungsholmen, Stockholm full of vintage and antique finds. Beautiful glass dividers separate the sleeping quarter from the artists studio and dining area. The 'But first coffee' print perfectly fits the mood for the start of the week, don't you think?!









Fantastic Frank

What a charming space, don't you think?! I'm not sure how the owners can be bear to part with it, but it's for sale through Fantastic Frank - Stockholm bolthole anyone?

I really love the industrial window divider - if you have an open plan space and thinking of dividing in two but don't want to lose the flow of light these are perfect  - you can even install them yourself- check out this DIY post!

I'm not sure where the 'But first coffee' print is from, perhaps it's by the artist him/herself? (tips welcome!) however, you could always create your own here.

More arty / creative spaces include this fantastic Italian designer's studio, a Swedish artist's home in a converted school, and a boho maker's space on Sweden's west coast.

Have a great start to the week!
