Home sick

Since leaving my beloved Sweden a couple

of weeks ago I am suffering terrible home-

sickness. I not only miss my family & friends

but 'Sweden' as well (despite the extreme cold

and all that snow..). To soothe myself I popped

in to see a Danish neighbour, Tine K, for some

nice Scandinavian eye candy.. It always helps

(well a little at least..) to look at design close to

home when I feel like this.. (big sigh x)..

There is something about 'silver' and I find myself

wanting to collect a family of items that I can keep

in one of the deep windows of my dining room.

Is there anything better than fresh white linen..

Preferably cotton (Egyptian if possible). Sigh.

The chair... (and the table for that matter..)

Also love twigs just like this one - such a

nice and simple way to decorate a room.

 

 This picture made me look forward to fall..

After sticky and humid summer months here

in Sydney it is always nice to welcome the cool,

dry and fresher air of the early fall. I love making

the house cozy, cooking roast dinners, lighting

lots of candles and generally just being able to

move around without looking like a sweaty heap..

My Scandi body is simply not designed for

the extreme heat and humidity we get here..

I like this tub - I would fill it with flowers and

plonk it on my hallway table along with some

nice tall candle sticks and good white candles.

White gets me every time.. and according to

trend spotters in Europe, cane furniture are

on the come back people.. Nice mix.

Clay vases.. want to make some now. Perhaps

a nice little project for when time allows..?

Aren't big windows the best..?

Mimosa is one of those wonderful treats in

Sydney Spring. Large trees and bushes of this

heavenly flower pop up everywhere. I love

the bright yellow balls and the scent.. A treat!

How could I not like this Dill flower?

Dill is terribly Swedish and something I

can not live without in my cooking.

Thought the world may have move on from

burst on purple and replaced it with blues

and turquoise, I am still very fond of the odd

purple detail here - especially with blacks 

and greys. Like in this picture..

More Tine K from HERE.
