book by its cover

I had a real hard time chosing my favourites. Go try.

Granit

Some of the things in my home that I appreciate the most is from Swedish Granit. The glass vase for one flower in the upper picture is invaluable to me. I have shown it earlier before here. Granit is a little bit like Ikea. It doesn't cost you much and sometimes you score a classic. The image with the candles is from Granit's website.

Skotte

This is Skotte by Stig Lindberg. And an ink drawing of it by my 5 year old. They are both fenomenal. I know I am the mother (not Stig Lindberg's) but still. If you look at the drawing you can see how he first planned to draw the dog as it looks - no visable legs. Then he changed his mind and drew real legs on it.

Vier Gezeiten

I like these things from Vier Gezeiten a lot.

Some clouds

Top image is from a fantastic sneak peak over at Design*Sponge. It's the home of floral designer Nicolette Owen. Take some time to look at all the pictures. They are amazing.
Second image is Cloud Mug by Korean KyoungHan Lee. Earlier sold at MoMa Store. Now seems sold out.
Bottom image is Yokahoma Light by Georg Baldele. I don't know if Mr Baldele had clouds on his mind while creating this stunning lamp. It just made me think of one. Via grijs.

The Barn

This striking photo by etsy seller Urban Design made me think of

The Hermit's Cabin and Nesting Box by Mats Theselius for Arvesund. Arvesund's products are made of timber from old and decayed Swedish barns.

Fabric Balls

Have you seen these fabric soccer-balls by fenomenal Klas Ernflo? If not check out his website and flickr to see more of his fantastic work.

Color combinations

We're having a big DIY project going on and I am looking for some color inspiration. I like the colors in this picture. I want something calm but not boring and even though I love the natural style like in this picture it's not what I am after this time. Not today anyway. As usual, to me deciding is a tricky business.

Flowers

This beautiful print by Sharon Elphick reminded me of


this amazing photo from enmoyukari

Görvälns Slott

This is newly opened Görvälns slott (castle) in Järfälla, Stockholm. It's an old castle renovated and decorated to be used as hotel, restaurant and for conferences. I could easily imagine spending some time there.
The black and white wallpaper on the last image is Insectiana by brittish Johanna Basford.
