SMALL SPACES | SWEDISH HOME FOR SALE

30 March 2015

Ah, how we all love those Swedish Homes For Sale that flood our (my!) Pinterest feed and nobody makes them look better than photographer Jonas Berg. Actually, I’m not sure if he styles the homes himself but they must sell like hot cakes with their minimal, monochrome look and calm mainly white colourpalette – oozing relaxed, uncluttered living for design conscious hipsters.

It’s incredible that this apartment is only 36m2 and yet looks positively spacious though bed-and living room is merged into one even including a little work station. I think it really helps that the kitchen is separate with enough space for a table. I love the wide and inviting hall with the dark wood panelling and different height hooks giving lots of space for coats, jackets, bags and all the other accessories I never seem to have enough room for.

And what about all that wall art!? I could rip the entire collection off… *swoon*

CHARLIE DREVSTAM | FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

28 March 2015

If you read my post on Swedish celebrity chef Tommy Myllymäki’s home yesterday you may have noticed the beautiful photographic print above his dining table.

It’s by Charlie Drevstam who worked with Tommy on both his books ‘Sauces’ and ‘Natur & Kultur’.

His photography is innovative and fresh I adore the stylized art direction and food styling which is an interesting combination between classic still life and contemporary minimalism. The splashes provide a great connection with the subject matter of ‘sauces’ which can be a bit of a mission to bring to life.

Check out the rest of his portfolio here.

A CHEFS HOME

27 March 2015

In the house of an award winning chef you’d expect the kitchen to be the central point. Tommy Myllymäki has taken it one step further and advises to treat your kitchen like a professional with crockery and plates closest to the counter, ‘firestation’ to the left and two refrigerators, one for daily items like dairy and the other for less frequently used items.

The shots are via Swedish Residence magazine and accompany an in-depth interview with the celebrity chef who not only won Chef of the Year in 2007 but has written two books ‘Sauces’ and ‘Natur & Kultur’. He’s also had appearances on Swedish TV and consults for as well as co-owns several gastronomic venues.

As I can’t read Swedish I was taken by the soft palette of naturals and pastels used in his home and the quirky details like the distressed headboard in the bedroom and the huge neon sign above the clothing rail. Check out the DIY coffee table made from an old door with swivel wheels stuck on – so simple yet effective and unique. The photographic print above the dining table is by Charlie Drevstam who worked with him on both his books and is a phenomenal photographer – more on him tomorrow.

Happy Friday y’all.

PLACES TO GO | DO SOUTH SHOP

24 March 2015

For me one of the best things about blogging is to discover and experience new ‘stuff’. Wether it is connecting with people and fellow bloggers who share the same aesthetics, being introduced to new brands, makers and designers or – as in this instance – a furniture shop in Crystal Palace, South London

Maybe the stars aligned or maybe it was sheer coincidence but a few Sunday’s ago Do South shop brought together a bunch of lifestyle bloggers, stylists and one very talented interiors photographer to document a styling challenge in one of the most inspiring places I’ve recently visited.

Do South is an interior shop with a difference and a hip edge that sells a mix of classic Danish designer furniture, one-off vintage finds and some ethnic pieces from Africa through to Australia. I call it modern rustic and it’s bang on trend for me as you can see from previous interiors I’ve featured on here and here and here.

Freddie Oke is the owner of Do South which he opened in 2011 after returning from living in Australia. With a background in music he is an artist at heart and takes the process of selecting pieces for the shop very seriously. Obsessed by detail, material, shape and colour I was delighted to talk to him as we share the same passion for craftsmanship and aesthetics.

Me and fellow blogging buddies Tiffany Grant-Riley from Curate & Display, Sarah-Louise Kilmer from LapinBlu and Cate St Hill from Catesthill meet Freddie over a casual breakfast at the shop before we’re let loose, each in their own distinct corner for a little styling challenge.

I can’t wait to get going and initially find it hard to narrow down my choice as I love almost everything in the shop. Slowly my vintage French workbench styling comes together reflecting the essence of Do South with an eclectic mix of amber glass glassware, a copper candle holder and mustard cushion by Hay and some amazing vintage leather football boots, embossed with Johnny Hancocks name who played for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I think I’m speaking for my fellow bloggers when I say that this was pure joy to spend a few hours styling with such a great selection of furniture, lighting and decor as you can see in our results below, all beautifully captured by Kristy Noble.
