The photo studio in these shots have been featured in so many shoots lately that I am almost getting a bit tired of it. It is gorgeous, I love the vintage tiles, but a little more variation in locations would be nice. Unfortunately almost all old buildings in Sweden have been completely renovated, so there are no rough or industrial places left to shoot...
This feature from the latest issue of
Elle Interiör is styled by Nanna Lagerman and shot by
Idha Lindhag. The theme is "Style Clashes" and Nanna has created great proof that price has nothing to do with style, by mixing cheap high street products with designer pieces into a lovely and stylish setting.
As you have all probably heard,
Lotta Agaton is opening a shop! I have been so curious to see what it looks like, and today she published the first photos. It looks amazing! Of course, I hadn't expected anything else. The store opens on Thursday and I will be first in line!
For those of you not living in Stockholm, they are working on an online shop too, but it isn't finished just yet.
There is still time to make an advent calendar for someone you love! But time is short, so make it a simple one, like any of these.
I am making the whole blog into a Christmas calendar! Starting on Thursday Dec 1 there will be great giveaways here every day up until Christmas eve, as a little way of saying thank you to all of my fantastic readers.
I love me a little dark and moody Christmas inspiration! It doesn't all have to be white and bright, greys and browns are perfect for winter decorating too.
It's that time of the year again. I've held back on all the Christmas stuff until now, but since it is the first Advent Sunday next weekend, I guess it is time now. Or do you think it's too early? Am I stressing you out? I wanted to start off carefully, not to overwhelm anyone, so I chose some photos that aren't "over-the-top-christmassy".
I found this
article in Bo Bedre about a couple staying at a stylish design hotel for a whole year while their house is being built. Of course they are celebrating the holidays there too, so now they have decorated the hotel studio apartment for Christmas. It's quite minimalistic, and I like the idea of spraypainting the tree and bay leaf wreath to get it to match the interiors. And I'm totally convinced that my own Christmas tree this year will be one of those tiny ones in a pot, preferably one that looks a little threadbare and wonky!
The Swedish bloggosphere has been filled with posts about
Lotta Agaton's styling class this fall, and the final exam was to style a shoot, photographed by
Pia Ulin, for
Therese Sennerholt's new poster collection. The best photo is going to be the official campaign photo. Lotta just published
all the pictures on Facebook and announced that the winner is my sweet and talented friend
Annaleena, who writes the
Try This at Home posts for my blog. A big congrats to Annaleena for doing such an excellent job! Her photo is amazing, but all of the others are great too, so I'm showing some of my favourites here. Enjoy!

A new week and a new giveaway! This time one lucky person will win
two Calabash P1 pendants in black, from
Lightyears. The size is 158 mm in diameter, and they are worth 320€. To enter, just tell me in the comments
where you would put your pendants, how would you use them in your home? Would you match them with anything?
The giveaway closes at midnight 18/11. Good luck!
The competition is for the black version of the Calabash, but I just can't resist adding these wonderfully styled photos of the gold and silver versions...
I just got these two pictures from Ikea Livet Hemma in my inbox, and liked them so much I couldn't resist posting them here! This is exactly how I would like my home to look, with the big windows, tiled walls and interesting displays including cacti and books in neutral colours. I can't spot many Ikea pieces in these shots, can you?
