Real estate stalking is a global phenomenon. It crosses all boarders and infects all races. Well all of us who are design freaks anyway ;) Stylist Mikael Beckman has it as bad as I do. He sent us this link to an amazing house 30 minutes from the centre of Stockholm. Perfect combination of mid century modern, land and lifestyle.
I've been stalking Swedish real estate sites again. Look here's a new one (well new to me)! Is the whole Scandi white thing over? Does it still give you goose bumps? I know it still tugs at my design heart. These days though I am loving natural floors, old timber, patina but, hey, white floors are still fab. I love the vibe of this home. Small but stylish, simple but just perfect for an inner city lifestyle. Please, please Santa if you are reading can I have that knitted throw for Christmas? Yummy! Link here.
Time for more Swedish fabulosity (is that a word?). Interior stylist Sara Sjögren takes the all white Scandi vibe and injects it with a colour shot. Like vitamins for a wane and washed out look. Or putting the pep in a colour pop. love the white living room with touches of blue anchored by a neutral patchwork oriental rug. Dark storm clouds are rolling through here so bright and white is just what I need right now. Must go before the thunder and lightning gets too bad. Enjoy!
Why is it that every time I pick up a European shelter mag I find the name Heidi Lerkenfeldt under the coolest features? Is it because this Danish photographer is JUST SO GOOD?!!! I can't say too much. I'm in awe of this woman's work. Stellar just doesn't crack it as an adjective for these shots. White light never so thick, darkest highlights and some of the most bookmarked pictures ever. I may never be able to splash out 10K on a Finn Juhl sofa but hey I dream about that picture (after the jump) like so many of us thanks to Heidi.
Time for another great photographer. Love the white white white and that light ... gotta be a Scandinavian snapper. (The IKEA shots are a give away too.) Love the softly darkling of his shots. Softly darkling? OK I made that up but you know what I mean! Marcus Lawett is the super talented photographer and if you recognise some of the shots it will be because they were styled by Sofie Andersson, now Sofie Lawett. My Swedish obsession continues. More after the jump.
