Lend me some money I'm immigrating

I am addicted to real estate sites, I'm addicted to the Scandinavian look and I stalk Alvhem. This is what I have found on my latest visit. I think I have cracked their code though. Take a large Swedish apartment. Paint white, strip coverings from the floor, make sure the light is good, fill with fabulous furniture including an obligatory iconic chair or two, design a sexy kitchen, style with accessories from your own homewares store where everything is so covetable that it hurts, make sure your clothing props are hip, employ a talented photographer and sell sell sell.

Purple Area

Susann Larsson is an interior designer from Malmö, Sweden. You'll know her as the creative force behind one of my most favourite blogs Purple Area. (I'm there everyday drinking it all in.) This is Susann's home. Gorgeous! It's quite minimalist, simple and clean but still a wonderfully warm and individual family home. Love that wall of books and yet another example that not all Scandinavian design is white. Oh no it's all grown up grey in this purple area!

From the love list ....

.... these bedrooms styled by Sophie Andersson. I've featured her before but the first is new and the second has always been a favourite. Sweet dreams!

Stalking in Sweden

I’m real estate stalking a little further afield today. Sweden in fact. I’m a lot like Kim. I can’t get enough of Scandinavian homes and this apartment in Göteborg is gorgeous. So much white and a perfect porcelain stove. Pity it’s sold. Actually probably for the best. I have my eye on a property here in Australia. All this loveliness via brokers Alvhem.

It's like a drug

Scandinavian design is like a drug to me. I need it and when I don't get my fix I get really crabby. Today it comes from one of my favourite sites, House of Pictures.
