A serene Swedish home in white and wood

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm writing today's post from a candlelit cafe by the sea here in Southern Sweden.  It's barely daylight and there's a storm raging over the sea. It's feels so cosy to be tucked up inside! Contrary to the weather outside, this Gothenburg space is a picture of calm. I love the black, white, grey, and wood theme with touches of brass. One item that stands out in particular is the vintage brass drinks trolley used as a side table in the sitting room. I could batten down the hatches and ride out a storm in this lovely apartment, how about you?<div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmESoeomg6Tl5a4FublQkmXfkmQAv7yioWnKUfP_aOtfOCfr8_B5SO5-u5KzEJYMoeI8sh9dzyyeG0C6bC0UHJTtSuHAnnWmAHx90XByEG5PRbN946hpio7wGp253dbSeWb0tD-YyR5l6/s1600/shh3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The cosy and relaxed home of a Norwegian blogger

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well hello there! It was a long time since I showed a Norwegian home, too long I'd say. So I thought you might like today's home tour for two reason: firstly it will introduce you to a wonderful Norwegian blog: <a href="http://marsipanogsmilefjes.blogspot.no/" target="_blank">Marsipan og Smilefjes</a> (unless of course you already follow it?) and secondly these images taken by the blog author Marthe of her own home which she shares with Rasmus, Mathea and Anna will make you feel like you're right there in a her relaxed cosy white and wood house in Norway. So lovely, don't you think?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

A Dutch home in a former children's nursery

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">One of the best things about arriving home after holidays is feeling inspired to make changes to the home (at least I do, how about you?!). Today I feel inspired by this Dutch home photographed by <a href="http://jkfotografie.mwebsite.nl/contact/" target="_blank">Jansje Klazinga</a> for <a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/binnenkijken2/voormalige-kleuterschool-haarlem.html" target="_blank">VT Wonen</a> (shared with kind permission). The space is in a converted children's nursery and the family have made maximum use of every detail, cleverly using the wood beams in the eaves as shelving for an office space. As with all the Dutch homes I show on here, I absolutely love the white with the pops of colour, especially in the dining room.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzwIUtvcubLhXjL0q2nm2s9yI5LBM90y4bYWP2Th33LAednfc99371Di7nwrLX3Cq9Q0ZEwMg0rMSs_pg0smcZrBcH9nwF9_Vy9zXx4GmM5u4euRMopFrjJPzX1vGPcbD1tRqdu6gnTB8z/s1600/kind1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzwIUtvcubLhXjL0q2nm2s9yI5LBM90y4bYWP2Th33LAednfc99371Di7nwrLX3Cq9Q0ZEwMg0rMSs_pg0smcZrBcH9nwF9_Vy9zXx4GmM5u4euRMopFrjJPzX1vGPcbD1tRqdu6gnTB8z/s1600/kind1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR9yWfQLFL_aPx2rSZdLlIvyY53vEBLNbj-qp0I3gp1q93Ya-G81ciSPGOyT41LvLIDysSosQadhyphenhyphenKfJd0_vCNdh9FSJoLZt7B5dZheYL297sdhWRtpbK0aK1_3dptPngdir-RYA0vWy_/s1600/kind3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR9yWfQLFL_aPx2rSZdLlIvyY53vEBLNbj-qp0I3gp1q93Ya-G81ciSPGOyT41LvLIDysSosQadhyphenhyphenKfJd0_vCNdh9FSJoLZt7B5dZheYL297sdhWRtpbK0aK1_3dptPngdir-RYA0vWy_/s1600/kind3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBlpuKmP6xhFqXdhzr4H88lzWxi-Q65Gypt4AL6zU4s60ksjupIDNuw8VMhihBtVtf2OTHUiPjbHRfU8nWIdKNoNy0SFn04uRzyVA6J52MEzjYVvXNF5NCwTRiWE4a0iYZbvLDyKMFZNB/s1600/kind9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBlpuKmP6xhFqXdhzr4H88lzWxi-Q65Gypt4AL6zU4s60ksjupIDNuw8VMhihBtVtf2OTHUiPjbHRfU8nWIdKNoNy0SFn04uRzyVA6J52MEzjYVvXNF5NCwTRiWE4a0iYZbvLDyKMFZNB/s1600/kind9.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUuGzAoMHOG7ze63QmAKheoEWDIC0oR07MZitvMqDY23JzCzHu7s_UqZ2e8FYIxWGjHHH5TGkInTzB10qF7_4j-fQoLPGtyJIbFHxkF1OTmr70bG-ChiseRSR1RQ-cngYVi4IrJ3rCWu4/s1600/kind4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUuGzAoMHOG7ze63QmAKheoEWDIC0oR07MZitvMqDY23JzCzHu7s_UqZ2e8FYIxWGjHHH5TGkInTzB10qF7_4j-fQoLPGtyJIbFHxkF1OTmr70bG-ChiseRSR1RQ-cngYVi4IrJ3rCWu4/s1600/kind4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbpJ2pzJmTCjr-3iGMqNNlHWIHW8j7wDQhYCO9Fi0PMkh3tvVPkiHxUcCWnDZMbvgTkvA3m5r37DCyBySeutxOAWnrmblb1hqEA6n-0tNcNQ_x16A5f2NfHKRj37_y2m7i3N340v791cd/s1600/kind2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbpJ2pzJmTCjr-3iGMqNNlHWIHW8j7wDQhYCO9Fi0PMkh3tvVPkiHxUcCWnDZMbvgTkvA3m5r37DCyBySeutxOAWnrmblb1hqEA6n-0tNcNQ_x16A5f2NfHKRj37_y2m7i3N340v791cd/s1600/kind2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bsvcCIsaKa4nJaIXtaVxIsdgNI75fdK3mZfECXyocl3HEm6hnFnK4DTv1m3mHJamOnELz8jlAOKX8-ngzznmi-V_DdPJjp26bzB8VGNFlPusewP87uShmsx2e16VX-r0NptGqZ_WWSl-/s1600/kind6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bsvcCIsaKa4nJaIXtaVxIsdgNI75fdK3mZfECXyocl3HEm6hnFnK4DTv1m3mHJamOnELz8jlAOKX8-ngzznmi-V_DdPJjp26bzB8VGNFlPusewP87uShmsx2e16VX-r0NptGqZ_WWSl-/s1600/kind6.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/binnenkijken2/voormalige-kleuterschool-haarlem.html" target="_blank">VT Wonen</a> with kind permission.

A converted merchant builder's garage in Melbourne

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello Monday! And what a rainy one it is here in Sweden too. But that's OK - I've got a wonderful studio home tour to brighten up our mornings. Designed by interior architects <a href="http://hearthstudio.com.au/Apartment-Carlton-North" target="_blank">Hearth</a>, this space in Melbourne, Australia has been transformed from a merchant builder's garage into a spacious and light home with views out over the gum trees. Many of the pieces you see including the windows, doors, bench tops, lighting and even the sink were salvaged second hand.
