Cool spaces: Holiday home in Sweden

January 15, 2015

Jochen Specht-4

How rad is this Summer house located in northern Sweden, built by Mats Fahlander Architects? Love all the wood and glass and it’s unusual shape.

Do you have a “holiday home” folder? I do, I add to it all the time and dream about what it’s going to look like, I would love for it to be located somewhere absolutely crazy beautiful like Santorini or Italy, so when we wake up every morning it literally feels like we’re in heaven. One day… sigh…

string-lights

A little while back I ordered some brass string lights from an online store called Onefortythree. This site has a number of very cool light fixtures, furniture and home accessories all designed and made by the very talented Logan Hendrickson.

New things

light-box-2

Last weekend I got some new things for Nina, the house and myself. Thought I would share them with you in case anyone was in the market for shoes, a new rug, a light box or some cute baby things. Que photos…

In my room I had a really nice cream knotted rug, but I quickly learnt that the colour cream is not my friend and probably will never ever be. It was such a nice piece, but damn was it hard to keep clean and I’m one of those people that freak out when there are marks or scratches on stuff. So I went back to Mr P Home in search of a new one and lucky for me I found one I liked and it’s more black than any other colour, which is great. Hopefully it’ll last longer.

Cool spaces: The home of Remo Giuffré

November 20, 2014

Remo Giuffre-2

This is the very eclectic home of Remo Giuffré and his family. I came across this space on Design Files and loved every photo they took of it, wish there were more because there is just so much to look at – my favourite kind of space.

– There is something positively museum-like about this space… it is layered with nostalgic mementoes of family life, and love, and a lifetime of artefacts.  Every family should (and probably does?) have this stuff… but.. somehow, the way it has been lovingly collected and displayed here takes things to another level!
