light

I need light. It's unbelievable dark here. This time of year I always fantasize about being a bear and sleep all winter. I could do that. Definitely.

Bright parisian bedroom from Sköna hem.

walls

Beautiful wood wall panels in this house. Some of them painted with egg oil tempera.

Hus och Hem

stockholm archipelago

House for sale in the Stockholm archipelago. Look at the (three!) old cast iron stoves. Like royalties.

Some of the pictures slightly cropped. See the whole ad here

a little lamp

Sometimes interior shots moves me. Look at that little lonely dangling ceiling lamp. Like someone moved into a new home and just hanged it there for the time being. And how good it looks in all its littleness. Conscious mishap.

Vtwonen

tile stove

I love the lack of ornaments on this tile stove. And the light blue color. They are usually more decorated and white. Like ours.

skewness

I love the small tilt (is that really the word I am after, I wonder?) of the art in these pics.

black and white

I find myself looking for black and white interior photos. Probably inspired by that Elle Deco cover I wrote about here. Somehow the shapes and the composition appear in a way new to me. This photo by Tjitske van Leeuwen.
Also, a new flickr widget in the sidebar. Found it via No Penny For Them
Happy weekend!

art hanging

Two different ways of arranging art. I love both but maybe the one piece hanging is harder to pull off?
Photos from here and here.

chair cushions

Lovely chair cushions. Upper photo by Beatrice Lundborg for DN bostad. Lower by Anette Nantell for the same magazine. The pink piano stool is painted and upholstered by Swedish designer Johan Lindstén. The fabric used is an old embroided tapestry.

one block of wood

I bought this book. It's fantastic. 15 wood projects to make. Beautiful and inspiring photos. Easy to follow instructions.

dining rooms

I love holidays. I love friends and family sleeping over and I love cooking and eating together. The more the merrier. If I would to draw my own house I would make the bedrooms tiny and the dining room big. Wouldn't it be nice to have a table with 12 seats just standing there waiting?

I don't know the source of these images. Sorry.
