Myself am totally looking foward to spend some time outdoors. I can´t remember last we had such beautiful spring. The sun has been shining almost every day for the past two weeks.
I so enjoy this season!

If you have no luck with warm and sunny weather like me though, I would love to recommend a true source of inspiration this weekend. IKEA has a very inspiring blog called 'Livet Hemma'. Every time I go for a visit I feel excited and amazed by all their ideas and creativity.
Please Click here to have a look for yourself!

Dining Room Plans...

Hi you guys!
I´m back and I need some help from you, All of you:)!
So, I have parts of my living room put togheter. The sofa is bought and I did make a decision to keep the striped rug. The vintage bamboo chairs, my few years back 'Boomerang ellipse coffee table with glass top' from Conran will stay and we´ll probably get this down below TV- bench as well (or should I just keep the one we have!?).

Since my living room and dining room area goes next to each other with a large vault in between I have slowly started to make plans for the dining room area as well.

I´ve been looking at all these dining room tables and dining room inspiration intensively the past weeks but still feel totally confused and lost in all of this.
Then I thought, what could be a better idea than to ask you guys for some advice!?

All I know at this point is that my black cabinet will be a part of the dining room furnishing. I also have this stone wall and a white Barcelona chair standing in this area. That´s it!
What kind of dining room table and chairs would you recommend that´ll match the other side of the room, the living room area as well?
I love the idea of having 2 larger chairs, like these wingback chairs down below on the sides.

Mon from Splendid Willow did a really inspiring posting on this theme, click here to go for a visit! I was immediately hooked on this idea!
My dining room is quite small though, so I´m not sure this will work in my home. I guess it´ll depend on the size of the table...
Today we have a dining room table that holds 1oo cm x 200 cm and that is maximum for this space. Unfortunately this piece of furniture does not match my new look so...I really need to find a new one!

This above look I liked a lot. I don´t think I would be able to find chairs like that though...
I ´ve also been looking at some industrial ones, like this down below.
I´m lucky to have a spouse whom is very talented when it comes to making things out of steel material. So I could have a table like this done, but I have to feel certain this is the look I´m going for cause it would have to stay for a really looong time:)!
And what kind of chairs to this one? I would not have a clue!

Will you help me out please and give me some great advice!?
I would appreciate it more than you could imagine and I feel so grateful for having this great opportunity to ask such talanted people as yourself!
It is a true privilige and I just know it´ll come a great solution out of this!

Please do not feel limited by these tables I have put out as alternatives, I would love to have some new advices as well!

Also,which one of the TV- benches would you choose- the one we have (image above), or the black one in the beginning of this post?

Thank you!!!

Fall feelings...

I´m really falling into a fall feeling over here in Sweden.
And it´s now high time to put away the summer- clothes and to bring out some warmer ones.
To be honest I have not done this yet. It has been such crazy weeks and I have not gotten myself to do it. It is not that I dont want it, oh no, I love fall but sometimes I just seem to put things on hold.
I really don´t like this part of me and I feel that it has sneaken up on me during our kitchen renovation(that by the way has been going on forever now). It´s like the chaos spreads itself and bring out hidden parts of me that I was not very aware of before. It´s kind of scary:)...

Everywhere I look I find these warming and cozy sheep- and reindeer skins. I simply love them and wish I could invest in some this fall. Unfortunately the economy does not allow me to do that right now, but I keep on dreaming and add all my wants to my wishlist.

Some day I´ll get them all:)!

It´s getting darker here, the rain is pouring outside and I´m off having todays last cup of coffe at my favourite spot in the house.
But before I go I would like to wish you all amazing readers a happy, cozy weekend!

Bye for now!

Are you interested in knowing a little bit more about Sweden and Swedes?
Well, this week I´ve had the honor to be a guest editor on Urban Style Vibes telling just a little about that. The post will probably be published today(tuesday).
Welcome to check it out if you are interested!

Todays picture shows the famous Swedish designer chairs of Bruno Mathsson. The blanket in one of the chairs, "The crux blanket" is also designed by another Swede, Pia Wallén.
Everything in this picture shows a typical Swedish style, hope you´ll enjoy!

Have a great tuesday!
