That’s a pretty good combo. The neutral grey background allows the armoire piece to really stand out. Plus you have the whole mix of period & eclectic going on which is always a good thing as far as I’m concerned.

Another from my clever friend Kristina Johansson. I especially like how she only painted the wall to the height of top of the window. It makes the ceiling appear to be a lot taller. I know that a lot of the furniture she buys is second hand but in perfect condition and she’ll splash out on one or two expensive pieces like the flos 265 wall light for example.

She is one talented lady! One to watch I’d say.

I am SO excited about todays post I’m practically bouncing off the walls! This is a sneak peak of a fabulous little one bed in Stockholm that my good friend Kristina Johansson just finished renovating. How clever is she? It looks amazing and I’m so proud of her! Oh and btw - it’s for sale if you fancy investing ;)

Something fresh today! Spring keeps poking its head out in-between rain showers (gotta love English weather!) and I’m feeling lighter about life - plus I’m a massive fan of the wishbone chair and I just wanted to look at it :)

This week is starting off with some organisation. I recently moved house and everything is still in boxes. I actually hate moving. I think it’s one of the most stressful things you can do. But alas - I am in and now the unpacking can begin!

This weekend is going to be spent moving into my new rental flat! I’m excited about making it homely and organising all my things. Yep, I’m a geek.

I do have some strange obsessions sometimes…..burnt out & patterned velvets are one of them. For example - that’s a pretty ordinary sofa but upholster it in some textured velvet and team it with some Serge Mouille lights and you’ve got a great mix of vintage meets modern. Now only if it were against something dramatic like a navy blue wall!

Loving so many things about this cool and contemporary kitchen! and of course, a cool kitchen must have cool designer pieces such as the Tom Dixon Beat pendant lights and Saarinen Tulip Chairs, in black no less!

How fun is this?? I love that Sputnik chandelier. I regularly trawl sites like 1st Dibs and Vintage & Modern looking at these beauties. Personally I love the really busy starburst or floral style ones. One day I will get my hands on some!

Now I don’t want to jinx anything, but I live in eternal hope think that spring/summer might be on its way here in the UK! which means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about those neglected outdoor spaces. Ok, Ok, so we might not quite be at the outdoor shower stage but how cool is this one?! Minimal and stylish with the shrubbery playing a large role in hiding the outdoor bather. I am envious .

What a cool place to have a dinner party! Loving the mirror over the mantle piece.

How fab is this kitchen?! This is a foodie’s kitchen - and a wine lover’s. These people clearly enjoy cooking and a good bottle of vino. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a Sunday.

The sun is shining and the weather is gorgeous here in London! It felt something similar to this when I woke up this morning and who wouldn’t want to wake up to that?? Enjoy your weekend!

This might possibly be my perfect kitchen! I love everything from the dark floors to the stainless steel counter tops and 3/4 height chocolate cupboards. Love.
