For a beautiful sunny day like today I have one renovated Scandinavian family home to share. It’s black and white with lots of colorful details and bold graphical patterns. And as it’s Scandinavian home it doesn’t come as a surprise that it’s full on light! The kitchen with the orange Kartell FL/Y pendant and yellow cupboard is especially sunny, don’t you think?

This light filled Scandinavian style home with simple decor and clean lines is my today’s favorite. Colors are also kept neutral: white, black, grey, brown, beige. Calm and beautiful.

It seems to me that lately greenery and decorating with plants has become very popular as I see it over Pinterest and in many blogs I read. And I’m really happy about that because I have been a little green thumb for many years already and finally it seems to be also trendy! :)
I have quite many plants in my apartment and I’ve been thinking about the ways how to group them together to create visually more pleasing result. One thing I think I’ll need is a plant shelf or something for my living room to create some height variation so that plants won’t be too closely together.
Below you’ll find beautiful examples of how to decorate with green plants (this time I chose only images with more than one plant, although one plant alone can be also really stunning). I hope you’ll find it inspiring and bring a plant or two to your home if you already don’t have some :) There are many plants that help to clean the air indoors, so besides looking nice they can benefit for healthier home also!

Today it was one remarkable day of that spring – the first time I was able to enjoy sunshine, cafe latte and some cake in an outdoor cafe without having to wear my spring jacket and the scarf. Finally! I think that everyone living in some place with four seasons knows how good it feels… And tomorrow seems to be even warmer, hooray! :)

Sometimes Swedish real estate websites offer real gems, for example this beautiful apartment available through Stadshem. Contrasting black and white color scheme with some natural hues and textures in the form of wood and brick. Gorgeous, what else can I say! :)

Another week has passed by just as quickly as … hmm, I don’t even recall any object moving so quickly as the time right now :)
Have a great weekend!

First, I want to thank all of you for your good wishes in response to my Big News post last week. I really-really appreciate each one of them! :)
Today’s theme is white and navy. White with navy is one of the combinations I adore for clothing (and if it happens to be white + navy and stripes I’m all done!), and white with navy is also beautiful for decorating. Not as neutral as black and white, but not too colorful either. Below are some examples for inspiration!

Wishing you all an inspiring start of the new week!
Do more that you love and I’m sure that it will help you to find your wings :)

Dear readers,
Sorry for my absence for so long time, I think this is the longest gap between posts within the year I have been blogging. Todays post is little more personal than usually, because I have something going on I want to share with you :) A month ago I mentioned that I have one Big Project that deserves an extra post and today I’m happy to reveal that this Big Project is a little baby boy who is expected to arrive in the second half of May :) So only with a month to go I have been super-busy arranging things and completing things from my Things-to-do-before-the-baby list (and believe me, this list is really-really long… ) and it’s the reason why there haven’t been so many new posts lately. So now you know (even if some of you already knew through “personal communications”) :)
P.S. These two rolls of yarn are still waiting to be transformed into something beautiful… I’ll take some time for that. Soon :)
