INTERIOR _________finnish summer house

I'm especially weak for Finnish homes and interior design, probably since I have my roots in Finland and have been growing up there. During the spring the lovely Finnish stylist and interior blogger Minna Jonas have renovated her summer house in Finland, and I must say I love the result! A calm oasis, modern but still in line with the nature outside. Very Finnish!

Jag är extra svag för finska hem och inredning, troligtvis eftersom jag har finska rötter och är uppvuxen där. Under våren har den fantastiska finska stylisten och inredningsbloggaren Minna Jonas renoverat sitt sommarhus i Finland och jag bara älskar resultatet. En lugn oas där inredningen känns modern, men ändå smälter samman med naturen utanför. Väldigt finskt!

WORK ________________ new collab!

I love collaborations. They often result in exciting new products like the collaboration between Modern bad and Stenhuggardottern. They have designed together a hole new serie of accessories for the bathroom in limestone. Stunning. The pictures are photographed and styled by me.

GREY __________________________

I just came across these pictures from an absolutely amazing home, called Penthouse V.

It's based on the roof structure of a 1930's cinema, and is a holiday home for a family of seven in Pörtschach, Austria.

I surely wouldn't mind having a holiday home like this!

_____________ soft skin

Im now in some kind of refractive phase with my style, and its good timing cause we are building a new house. But its also a bit challenging because I dont really know how it's gonna be, but the best way always is testing the ideas or colours on a bigger wall. So I did. 

I like to paint both ceilings and walls with the same colour, it becomes more intense and interesting that way. But now I just wanted to test the colour before painting an entire room with it in the new house. I really liked this colour, its not too pink and not too beige. The color is called Soft skin and it comes from Jotun Colour.

OUT NOW ____________

I promised to put this new product up the shop yesterday, but got caught up in some technical difficulties. The less fun part of this job.
But here it is: the magazine holder in brass, handmade of course and perfect to use for showing all these beautiful magazine papers we just can't stop ourselves from buying :)
