White in Sweden- Hus and Hem

Have you ever taken a look at the website from Sweden called Hus and Hem? Such beautiful houses on this site! Really the homes are just gorgeous. Of course you know how much I love Swedish style and there are wonderful ideas on this site for anyone who wants to decorate in white. 

This house with a Smeg fridge and rough white wood wallpaper in the living room has great style with some typical Swedish touches......and white floor to ceiling always looks good to me!

Sweet Apartment in Sweden

A pretty little apartment in Sweden that has two floors and plenty of style. What do I love about this place...well I really like the lamps over the dining room table and the full picture wall in the same area (the hats make a nice touch). It is a nice balance to the shelving on the opposite wall and fills the room nicely. I also get a kick out of the kids room. Super cute accessories and a raw wood wall...oh yeah!

Enjoy!

Bright Home + New Carpet

Beautiful home from Residence Magazine that is super fresh and modern. I am love with these Moroccan carpets that have this minimalist Scandinavian style. I decided I had to have one in my own home so I went and bought one at West Elm and put it in my office and I love it!! It adds such a great touch of warmth and really makes it feel so much more current and new. So fun to add one new element to a room and feel such a great change. Don't you just love decorating! What fun..

Living Lightly

I have an abundance of stuff in my home and I can not seem to change this...I try...really I do..but I just love to collect things and style things and it just accumulates. I wish I could change as I really love the look of the homes I post with great architecture and clean, simple lines in the home. Like this one I am showing you below...so beautiful and each piece that is shown in the home is really perfect in its place and you really see it..you look at each piece. 

This is the home of photographer Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen who is also a designer and architect and clearly super talented! A wonderful eye and a lot of restraint in design with a perfect eye for detail.

Layers of Style

Very often I see a single picture of a house on Pinterest and think....oh this is so good the rest of the house must be amazing...Well this home was one I wished I could see the rest of and here it is! Such fantastic details and so well styled because it is the home of the wonderful interior stylist Johanna Flyckt Gashi from Hus and Hem. So many things to love in this cottage because there are layers and layers of incredible vintage accessories....like the locker in the office with a vintage style chair and lamp. The living room with the layers of great pillows and funky lamps and what about that kitchen! Layers of dishes, lamps and fun writing on the blackboard. This is seriously a great home.

Yellow, Black and White

Love this little apartment in Sweden with white walls and black and yellow accents! Wonderful texture and patterns make this home sweet and fun...this is for the young at heart for sure. Nice open plan floor layout with a big, bright kitchen and office space nestled in between the living space and eating area. Another great Swedish home to inspire me!

Sorry for the sporatic posting these days. A lot of family issues with aging parents that are keeping us very busy these days. We were lucky enough to get away for a few days to the south which was a welcome relief from these difficult times. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Bright White

Beautiful house with pretty pale floors and a bright white interior. White with wood and touches of black throughout keeping it very simple on the accessories and the drama. I am really loving the plank headboard that would be so easy to make yourself! The dining room table is also great with the wooden sawhorse legs. So expensive if you buy a table like this at Restoration Hardware but again not difficult to make and it looks so chic and modern. 

This is a great site to see wonderful Scandinavian homes Bolig Plus. For more photos go here...

Simply White

This house appeals to me so much as it has all the elements of what makes Swedish style so beautiful. Clean simple lines, pretty accessories, natural wood mixed with white and wonderful creativity. Of course any house with a Mora clock instantly has a place in my heart! Lovely kitchen with concrete island and sliding barn doors for the pantry. What about that great cover for the bed! It looks to me like oil cloth bags sewn together..but let me know if you have an idea of how it is made. To top it off the large windows let in a wonderful light and provide a beautiful view.

Fantastic Real Estate

I really like these Swedish websites that feature real estate in a new way. The homes are styled to the max and look so appealing and fresh. You feel like you could just move in and everything is ready to go. The two real estate sites I really love are Fantastic Frank and Stadshem.  This great apartment is from Fantastic Frank and is pretty typical of what you would see on the site. Lots of white decor with some wonderful, mid-century or industrial and often vintage touches. Very often the kitchens have wonderful finishes and they always feel super modern and hip. Remember they are for sale so...any takers?

Add a Touch of Warmth with Fur

Nothing adds instant warmth to a room like a fur throw on a chair, on the couch or on the floor! So beautiful, and of course if you don't want to put a real fur there are so many great fake furs. Ikea has really good ones that look real, but are fake and not expensive as well. I have a couple in my place and they work super well. I especially love seeing them on dining room chairs....it makes staying around the dinner table that much more fun and comfortable. 

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy!
