To sort under unnecessary (but cute) stuff
Yesterday I had a meeting with Hans and Andreas at Royaldesign in Kalmar to discuss some future projects. While we sat in their office this little wooden figure caught my eye. It kind of lit up the desk filled with important papers and to-do lists. So cute! I know. I'ts a very unnecessary gadget (a pen holder made of wood may not be the first thing you will find on Maslow's hierarchy of needs) but it's incredibly sweet. Is'nt it? Design Kay Bojesen. The detail of the day. And some eyecandy for you.

Bedroom inspiration
My next planned purchase for the bedroom spells "wall storage" and "a new ceiling lamp". After a few dust ups with our current lamp Norm69, which is impossible to clean without getting an unwanted plastic puzzle in your hands (since the pieces have a tendency to loose from its mounts) I ran over this inspirational bedroom image styled by Tenka via Emma's design blog. I love everything about it. The shelves, the lamp, the floor. Alles. This photo will be filed in my inspiration folder. Gorgeous! Now I only have to save up for a white Kotte. And wait. Since that might take a lifetime to achieve.

DIY Wallpaper craft
If you are up for some crafting this wallpaper project made by Littlemissfixits might inspire? She took up the challenge to do something nice of a press sample sent out with a wallpaper launch, and used it to make a boring paper box a little more fun. Here is the result. Voilá! A neat and quite simple way to spruce up some storage boxes for the hall way or bedroom in your home.

Wanted! IKEA PS Karl Johan
I'm currently in Kalmar, visiting the home of interior design blogger Little Miss Fix It. She has this beautiful stool from IKEA PS 2009 called Karl-Johan. I want it. Badly. But, it's discontinued. Perfect as side table holding a stack of books and a cup of coffee next to the couch (or a chair) in the livingroom. Does any of you readers have an extra, which you want to get rid of? If so, I want to buy it!

Flea finds!
Guess what I found at the flea market last saturday? About twenty brass candlesticks in varying heights for 5-20 SEK each. Such a bargain! I will use them as table decorations at my friends wedding. What I paid? Is there anything you should go hunting for right now, it's this. Buy several of them and set them up as a still life on a desk or dresser.

Weekend at the countryside
Sorry for my lack of blog posts during the recent days but I needed some time off. Here is a postcard from my fall weekend in the country. Fresh air, walks in the woods, apple and mushwroom picking and a crackling fireplace are some of the things that saturday and sunday had to offer. In addition, I also made some really nice bargains at the local flea market. But, more on that later. Have a great start to the week!

Eames House Bird
Yesterday this little creature moved in to our home. Eames House Bird, which I won in Ica Carlsson's blog competition in partnership with The Home Company. Did you know that House Bird was actually a souvenir that Charles and Ray Eames bought on a vacation? The bird then stood in their living room for many years and appeared occasionaly in some commercial shots. Vitra got so many questions about the bird in their advertising brochures that they took it in production. And now I have my very own. Thank you!

My office in Victoriapassagen, Gothenburg
I got so many questions regarding my office today, while showing some pictures on Instagram, that I decided to post some of them here as well. You can find me in Victoriapassagen. Situated in the city center of Gothenburg, in an old building from 1842. Come by and say hi if you are in town this summer!

Meet the blogger Amsterdam 2012
I spent the weekend in Amsterdam, as the key note speaker at Meet the Blogger 2012. It was my first time in the city and I immidiately fell in love with it. What a wonderful atmosphere! And there was lot's and lot's of unique concept stores and small shops to visit. Here are some images from the event.

Meet the blogger was arranged by this superwoman, Liselore Stuut. I do not even want to think about how many hours she must have put into the project. Well done!

Not only was the schedule planned in detail. Everything was colour coordinated as well. E v e r y t h i n g. From the graphic profile of the event, to the clothes she was wearing, the flower arrangements, the pastries... It was all in the Dutch favourite colour "oranje" mixed with raspberry red. Amazing!

I held my first speech about blogging, in english (!) and then it was finally time for the premiere show of my iPad-magazine Trendenser that was released in iTunes as I spoke. The response was wonderful. Thank you all for your positive feedback! You can now download it here.

Hundreds of European interior design bloggers meet up in Amsterdam for seminars, work shops and networking. with Flexa, Pippa Jameson and Yvonne från Ywestown as well as vtwonen, Loods5, Quooker och Brabantia. It was so much fun. I loved meeting all the bloggers who up until then only had been anonymous blog names. Now I have a face to each and every one of them.

I'm very happy to have made so many new friends from all over the world. Here is another shoot from the audience. The event was held at The Conservatorium in Amsterdam. I have to show you some more pics from the hotel as soon as I have emptied my memory card. I got home really late yesterday so I just need to get some rest first. Here's one quick snapshot I took of the lobby. Loved it!

Sunday sunday
Pretty pink shopping finds from my latest spree in Stockholm. Oh, how I love this pastel eye candy! A new pot from Svenskt Tenn, a paper bag from Acne, the latest issue of Costume, a white leather Moleskin (gift) and a cool new energy drink in pink! Have a sweet sunday.

No ordinary day
Yesterday I was in Stockholm to make a web commercial for Volvos new concept car V60 Hybrid. I'm not really used to having a huge camera recording every bite at the breakfast table. However, we had lot's of fun. I promise to show you the result in a few weeks!

If you visit Stockholm this summer Snickarbacken 7 is a must see. A perfect mix of fashion, vintage furniture, books, art, music and good food.

You also have to stop by Lotta Agatons shop at Rådmansgatan 7. I loved every single piece in it!

Table setting ideas for graduates
Today my last styling job for IKEA was published at the Swedish web version of the IKEA-blog "life at home". I made a table setting filled with inspiration for all graduating students out there. I love the tuxedo cheese idea I found on Pinterest. It was a piece of cake to make!
