Swedish calligrapher Ylva Skarp's cosy winter home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Swedish calligrapher and designer<a href="http://shop.ylvaskarp.se/en/" target="_blank"> Ylva Skarp</a> knows how to create a beautiful home at Christmas (see it all decked out <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/11/ylva-skarps-christmassy-home.html" target="_blank">here</a>). This winter she's created a cosy feel in her country home using sheepskin throws draped over armchairs, ottomans and dining chairs. You can see evidence of her work in various forms throughout the home- on fabric, in prints, engraved in the concrete floor and spontaneously written on blackboards. Such a personal home, don't you think?!  <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-mrbd0Q2zqSDMT6acQlRt8a0C5npRyx1Bc7n84noUqjxxtJR8Y-DdpGQYMvckFyhc5f50WLlSJ1d_DCAIMQBRwjG7C0FhPBzXFf8yMPvrr7Ql6u69j6FA7hKAOvJkFNR4C8GEa6qzSZNu/s1600/ys1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-mrbd0Q2zqSDMT6acQlRt8a0C5npRyx1Bc7n84noUqjxxtJR8Y-DdpGQYMvckFyhc5f50WLlSJ1d_DCAIMQBRwjG7C0FhPBzXFf8yMPvrr7Ql6u69j6FA7hKAOvJkFNR4C8GEa6qzSZNu/s1600/ys1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TjAwqRuKcQXYo3iLhOM138NoAFVQYjZE3n3zP_NUUjJPQXXgHsKhXpE6YuiztGB_2zpkh1regGqBtzDsDVdTLq1Kzr7khb2pFrxlKdtHmBQihrbacK-ms5Qg9fio_wefx2hNVnC51Yqb/s1600/ys2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TjAwqRuKcQXYo3iLhOM138NoAFVQYjZE3n3zP_NUUjJPQXXgHsKhXpE6YuiztGB_2zpkh1regGqBtzDsDVdTLq1Kzr7khb2pFrxlKdtHmBQihrbacK-ms5Qg9fio_wefx2hNVnC51Yqb/s1600/ys2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilNuSSmkAKoo1D80uUuh8odWdnJEQJnTHQWqSDdyBx0xD4WbFR_DAJrb8l9m_AbZdS3nNUf_K7O9NyMn24f6NaQmWoU4gYomGmZ3Ho-8-k1Jp1-Qu1i1Sodde_R9Yv7AUhGYHjCmIQwO4Q/s1600/ys5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilNuSSmkAKoo1D80uUuh8odWdnJEQJnTHQWqSDdyBx0xD4WbFR_DAJrb8l9m_AbZdS3nNUf_K7O9NyMn24f6NaQmWoU4gYomGmZ3Ho-8-k1Jp1-Qu1i1Sodde_R9Yv7AUhGYHjCmIQwO4Q/s1600/ys5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKVF2vynPz28ihzDPL3OHcWDaiF1TQjNpbNxnLOMCzsQ7flHHVA5vkdD1eNgxXXdLNNO12txEBg74q60PsioaNRVJapjXor4Q5yQvwasH0IOahSC7Vb9gny1sCdjWbPuGmisJpKNX7CS5a/s1600/ys4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKVF2vynPz28ihzDPL3OHcWDaiF1TQjNpbNxnLOMCzsQ7flHHVA5vkdD1eNgxXXdLNNO12txEBg74q60PsioaNRVJapjXor4Q5yQvwasH0IOahSC7Vb9gny1sCdjWbPuGmisJpKNX7CS5a/s1600/ys4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrHeA4d36zcrJ12DOhtfJeBS4Y4hdaDW23ntH3Q18PC6jY1te8CuKFEThzJM_ZExMKLtZmrqLC8u1yl8JL58z7ujtPSCwq9FzQos1ZR8aJKsWWNaCxBB7s-mCfP68PYS80uDGqrbTqyflP/s1600/ys7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrHeA4d36zcrJ12DOhtfJeBS4Y4hdaDW23ntH3Q18PC6jY1te8CuKFEThzJM_ZExMKLtZmrqLC8u1yl8JL58z7ujtPSCwq9FzQos1ZR8aJKsWWNaCxBB7s-mCfP68PYS80uDGqrbTqyflP/s1600/ys7.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/AVvXsEj1bvTvOtETEDYUIvHMMrkAeE24I-N5hlsbgRwB5cy0qApbea2UV_lXtvjNtFxn78gyPDgAHok9G36Y1hQN_9ZYbv84mWmqmjEINdAMFpfbMxm4OJc2Zjq1QbsJinlHCe4N96kEZ6iYPEFV/s1600/ys6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1bvTvOtETEDYUIvHMMrkAeE24I-N5hlsbgRwB5cy0qApbea2UV_lXtvjNtFxn78gyPDgAHok9G36Y1hQN_9ZYbv84mWmqmjEINdAMFpfbMxm4OJc2Zjq1QbsJinlHCe4N96kEZ6iYPEFV/s1600/ys6.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://shop.ylvaskarp.se/en/" target="_blank">Expressen</a>.

As you know I'm a big fan of Scandinavian design classics and frequently highlight beautiful chairs. lights, and accessories. But one Scandinavian classic I haven't mentioned are the luxury beds by <a href="http://www.hastens.com/en/beds" rel="nofollow">Hästens</a>. For those of you not familiar with the Swedish brand, <a href="http://www.hastens.com/en/beds" rel="nofollow">Hästens</a> is a company steeped in history having 'been crafting sleep since 1852'. And they're not kidding. Each bed is completely handmade using all natural materials and takes around 160 hours to complete! I've got my eye on the <a href="http://www.hastens.com/en/campaigns/limited-edition/" rel="nofollow">limited edition Stockholm White</a>. Imagine the nights sleep? Bliss! A well deserved product pick of the week!<br /><br />I'm working from a cafe by the sea today and it's pouring with rain outside - so cosy!<br /><br />Have a lovely day - rain or shine!<br /><br /></div>

The bohemian summer home of a Swedish fashion photographer

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Many Swedes choose to spend their summers on the beautiful east coast island of Gotland and I can totally understand why. One such person is fashion photographer <a href="http://www.adamsky.se/photographers/peter-gehrke/advertising/23844" target="_blank">Peter Gerhke</a> (who has shot for <a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M </a>among many other brands) and his family. The family's relaxed, bohemian style stone country house is radically different from their permanent residence in Stockholm which is decorated with a far more contemporary feel. The family spend their time at the summer cottage bare foot, enjoying the grape vines and fig trees in the garden, cooking using home grown vegatables and herbs or fishing and swimming in the clear waters of the Baltic sea. Now that's a way to spend a summer!<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPIy4zdrBEsYTLC2Vwx-aMKk8T1adN1RP8skvV-F6j8YsKbecYiTAJ5p_UiRYWpJXDvGk6rg24_m7lK0JpOrmVrasjo7M5tEY7O5mfMvTzZpeQ3SejaykNzlNmlKZpTKLd4OZmgSwdp33/s1600/swede1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPIy4zdrBEsYTLC2Vwx-aMKk8T1adN1RP8skvV-F6j8YsKbecYiTAJ5p_UiRYWpJXDvGk6rg24_m7lK0JpOrmVrasjo7M5tEY7O5mfMvTzZpeQ3SejaykNzlNmlKZpTKLd4OZmgSwdp33/s1600/swede1.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1oG3mOWbQ5b6XAIBVjnXjxH3NvTT__RISkI7kro0dFxLyv3u5KJrkrIE3bVMj695WBINjbPjyBP-DaYyP7mGJKKTIY7tdLHWRlFoRSs3YDGoX_bzdG4sogeKlajsz2cFnf0mQ8fBR0SSy/s1600/swede5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1oG3mOWbQ5b6XAIBVjnXjxH3NvTT__RISkI7kro0dFxLyv3u5KJrkrIE3bVMj695WBINjbPjyBP-DaYyP7mGJKKTIY7tdLHWRlFoRSs3YDGoX_bzdG4sogeKlajsz2cFnf0mQ8fBR0SSy/s1600/swede5.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><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/AVvXsEgAopHJagAgxEmvdUtMh8l7rTvFNkixEq9x-v5UttahLGVDN59rVer4qDS5K02ANmHxsm73nz-WmLrnQOXilAKgKLPlWFPlPowdoTsYtne3-TqKsO8WoJqdmZ8fJny127Xa-oOZ123N-znq/s1600/swede3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAopHJagAgxEmvdUtMh8l7rTvFNkixEq9x-v5UttahLGVDN59rVer4qDS5K02ANmHxsm73nz-WmLrnQOXilAKgKLPlWFPlPowdoTsYtne3-TqKsO8WoJqdmZ8fJny127Xa-oOZ123N-znq/s1600/swede3.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMH1WTPl1oek0cw0-gkkER1Gd-2fjILfLik59Tvci1wLAPbAq-TmJKTiP3_GqiRYgzehTAo4xTR87Af60b6opKbIF72fwdgQu7f2sKTm3ivjzdOVMpl9XE25w2nvTecZPi0Poop_kb7NQU/s1600/swede2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMH1WTPl1oek0cw0-gkkER1Gd-2fjILfLik59Tvci1wLAPbAq-TmJKTiP3_GqiRYgzehTAo4xTR87Af60b6opKbIF72fwdgQu7f2sKTm3ivjzdOVMpl9XE25w2nvTecZPi0Poop_kb7NQU/s1600/swede2.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMg55kKhGb_vFW1p23Jr3148op0JcrqO390MJ6RU2ro-8x9BL6vJty53lic7uzlKGd_xHhWlK1S1EhZaotKjDXXFHE6Hrv9cyrJTGu0mR53ru8I34ya0yv24PS051zc1-zDKXHo-JbMaON/s1600/swede4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMg55kKhGb_vFW1p23Jr3148op0JcrqO390MJ6RU2ro-8x9BL6vJty53lic7uzlKGd_xHhWlK1S1EhZaotKjDXXFHE6Hrv9cyrJTGu0mR53ru8I34ya0yv24PS051zc1-zDKXHo-JbMaON/s1600/swede4.jpg" width="474" /></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/AVvXsEhXHtGeyc-6yIiKViZVHTuypIW7beSaO8q4twIwaF0a22PF-rjpjyzODlemcaBGNrc_nIDxHc6rk2vUYwceU_ePSjl2VSDGq8SufBdRZ0SYEwlCnbk20l915AX39b8V78BWAz4DXnPDFlTm/s1600/swede6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXHtGeyc-6yIiKViZVHTuypIW7beSaO8q4twIwaF0a22PF-rjpjyzODlemcaBGNrc_nIDxHc6rk2vUYwceU_ePSjl2VSDGq8SufBdRZ0SYEwlCnbk20l915AX39b8V78BWAz4DXnPDFlTm/s1600/swede6.jpg" width="474" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photography: <a href="http://martinlof.com/" target="_blank">Martin Löf</a>. <a href="http://milkdecoration.com/suede-la-vie-de-boheme/" target="_blank">MILK Decoration</a> with kind permission. </td></tr></tbody></table>I love the idea of hanging out bare-foot and care-free don't you?!<br /><br />My favourite room, has to be the bathroom.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello Friday! Yay! Today I'm so excited to share a beautiful home with you that I hope will draw you in to the spirit of the Swedish holidays (if you're not there already!).

A charming fisherman's cottage on Sweden's South coast

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you had a great weekend?! We had a bank holiday here, so my family and I took off for my brother-in-laws summer cottage where we played croquet, swam in the sea and sipped Prosecco - oh so relaxing, I do love a long weekend don't you?! With iut's beautiful coastline, living in Southern Sweden has its advantages particularly in the summer (the winter is a another story...). Yesterday I was having a sneek peak at what's for sale here right now (one of my favourite pastimes, is that sad?! Please tell me you do the same?) and I came across this charming thatched cottage by the sea. The restored<a href="http://www.hemnet.se/bostad/villa-8rum-boste-fiskelage-trelleborgs-kommun-lojtnant-flinths-vag-38-40-6329785" target="_blank"> fisherman's cottage</a> is my idea of heaven. It's not far from Sweden's most southern point - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smygehuk" target="_blank">Smygehuk</a>, an idyllic fishing harbour where you can feast on the catch of the day. Tempted?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkPfS5RrPrVVusGA1UjDcQHZ3qAbNqHYtp8V4sn9ZGJh5GRypo4rpqlCgRYdjYSIZ2bcir4IaP3iEYbeDu6OiBV0t79xnyJZj8gYSPGxJBB8v4uenEWDfx_VrKW5WyS8UZQISFObc9CV4/s1600/cottage9.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
