Those Swedes…
The Swedes are the BEST at merging old world with new. They do it effortlessly and beautifully. Simple lines are they key. And it helps to lean on a country with a long, rich history and a huge appetite for new innovations. Swedes also like classic pieces that will last for generations. (No unnecessary Target runs here….).
A room like this is totally interesting to me. Not stuck in a certain category. Just a splendid mix of loveliness.
(Winter break is over here. Did not make it Vancouver though. 2 sick kids in the car. Had to turn around. Boohoo! But my dear sis-friend Kendra came with her cutie-pie Ella and cheered us up when things were back to normal again. I am so happy when friends pull me away from the computer!).

Love the mix since it also means nothing gets wasted. Love it when something pulls me aways from my computer.
Enjoy your day!

Definitely a room that gets and holds your attention….. a fun and eclectic mix of a room. And yes, NOTHING replaces the company of a good friend:) Glad the kiddos are better!

Hi Monika,
It seems that a lot of kids in bloggerland feel sick today! Could it be a cyber virus??!!
Monika, Ilove that image too! Beautiful mix! Yesterday evenening I was browsing in a book of Lars Bolander and found such a beautiful Swedish designs in it! The Swedes are masters in designing!
Wish you a wonderful day!

What a great room. I like how the Eames chairs’ colors all relate to the colors in the green print of the chair. I wouldn’t expect it to work but it does.

Eames möter Allmoge i en oslagbar symfoni. Mer eklektiskt än så här kan det väl knappast bli!? Kul att se och påminner mig om att det inte finns några regler för vad man kan kombinera.
Håller på med mitt eviga v-rum/matrums-projekt. Det tycks bli en galen blandning av modernt, antikt, industriellt och så lite etniska influenser ovanpå det.
Kram på Dig//Tina

Monica-
So sorry you had to end your trip. Seems to be a lot of that going around.
I am with you on this room, perfection. A beautiful room that feels so serene and cozy.
Hope that the family bounces back soon.

I love those wood floors. I can’t wait to do something like that in our first home! Bummer you didn’t make it to Vancouver this week (by the way, have always wanted to visit). We are lucky we have people in our lives to drag us back into reality – blogs and work can be all too consuming! A happy week to you

I love *everything* about this room! Just my kind of room with lots of personality and timeless charm. Pinned it
Sorry for my absence lately, Mon, life is a bit stressful and blogging has dropped far down in the priority list. I’m going to be needing a break from it all soon!
Hugs to you, lovely,
