The modern housewife

PER GUNNARSSON'S interior photos have been moving around on the blogs a lot lately. This made me curious and I had to go and take a look at what he is doing. I was not disapointed and found lots of inspiration! Now I am hesitating to have a black kitchen after having seen the first photo here...
His clients are Ikea, Willa Nordic, Sköna Hem among many.

Oh, I get so frustrated when I see homes like the one of DOS FAMILY! I am a real Scandinavian that loves white, bright rooms with very little color and sober furniture. Then I see this and I feel such happiness! Maybe a mix of the two would be a perfect solution!

I can feel that summer is coming soon in every bone of my body and I naturally look for summery things. Here is yet another summer house, just a bit more colorful this time. It is situated 15 minutes from Copenhagen in Denmark and the over all theme is 1960 and 70's pop style with lots of colors and crazy patterns. It is playful and happy!

Living in France, one of my dreams is to have a small summer house in Sweden. I could imagine this one for example. It is fairly small, very nicely decorated, close to the water (2 minutes by foot) and just perfect! The summer feeling is there right away and I could see myself sitting on the terrasse reading a good book while eating fresh strawberries and ice cream.

I dream of Swedish summers, a cold elderberry drink, a dip in the lake before sunset, simplicity, a good book in the hammock, the Swedish summer dream in other words! The interiors below are typical summer houses where you are taken back in time when everything felt easy and stressless.
This will be my last post before the long weekend that is ahead of us where me and A will catch up on time and work in our little piece of the world. I will be back on monday with plenty of inspiration!
Have a great weekend everyone!

This Danish home is very modern and inspiring. There is a strong contrast which makes it feel very dramatic! The house is filled with art and there are a lot of different seating areas so that anyone can come whenever they want to.

It is not often I find good design from Canada. Maybe I haven't looked enough but I have been in Canada a number of times and so far nothing has caught my eye....until now. I found LOYALLOOT through Sweden and fell in love with their tree trunk bowls instantly! I also really like the "collar" hanger!

Here is some eye candy for the weekend from the Danish interior design/stylist/photographer company HEYHOME.

This is the industrial designer KRISTINA STARK'S summer house. There is a complete black and white harmony but without feeling cold and stiff. I could get used having this as my Swedish summer house!

SUPERMODULAR is a Belgian lighting company that makes both lighting for your interior as well as your exterior. For the interior these are my favorites! I love the ring! It looks like a UFO that has gotten stuck in your ceiling:)





I would really like to have one of these outside of our house! I can see them in front of me and they would fit perfectly with the rest of the garden!

It will only be one post today because my parents are coming from Sweden and I still have a lot to prepare before I have to go and pick them up. It's going to be a lot of fun! I haven't seen them since last summer so it was about time! Since they are here for ten days, I will take a bit of vacation from bloging until the 18th of April, that way I can fully enjoy the time we have:)
I will leave you with these nice wooden floors. We are hesitating about the floor downstairs. My fiancee want an almost black floor where as I prefer a natural wooden floor. What do you think?

I would buy this amazing bathtub from AGAPE and put it in our upstairs bathroom!

I thought these photos styled by KML DESIGN gives inspiration to this long weekend which will hopefully be filled with lazy mornings in bed!

Also check out these photos styled by KML DESIGN. They breath spring and Scandinavian light! I love the black milk packaging! Do you think it exist for real?

I really like this home for some reason. Normally I am not a big fan of grey and need white, white, white. But this home really has a character and feels very cosy. Stylist is Katrine Martensen-Larsen from KML DESIGN.

My friend LARA has been looking for old school posters and she found some really nice ones HERE! The good thing is that you can download them in high quality so it could be a cheap and very nice idea!
I would love to have one in our new house to contrast a bit with our modern and Scandinavian style!

Maybe they are not supposed to serve as office furniture but I think that WITEHAUZ'S collection fits perfectly for that purpose. Most of the furniture you can find especially made for the office are really boring. At least Witehauz's selection have interesting forms and colors.

When I surfed around on STYLEROOM yesterday, I found a whole section on 1950's inspiration. It has to be big in Sweden for there to be a section dedicated to this! I like it though, it brings in some spirit to your house and the 50's style goes really well with a more modern interior.

TOM KUHNE has not only made the lamp I was talking about HERE recently, he is also making other funny things such as this "chair" that makes you think of a car or this huge "pouf". I would love to have the pouf in my house and I am sure that my fiancee wouldn't mind the car look a like chair.

One of my passions are lamps! I love lamps! It is such a perfect design detail that also has a purpose. If I could only chose one from the ones underneath it would be, without hesitation, the lamp from LACORBEILLE.FR. It is modern but still retro with a character! The others are very nice to though and they are all welcome to live with me!
