{ A romantic bathroom }

 Since it´s Valentine´s day today, I thought it would be perfect to show you this sweet and romantic bathroom.

What a dream to start every morning in this room filled with LOVE!

Make it romantic in your bathroom by:

♡ Adding delicate colors as pink and purple

♡ Filling your tub or sink with rose petals

♡ Having lots of candles in the room, also scented ones

♡ Play some relaxing music

Is this a bathroom you would like to wake up to?


I just got a wonderful bouquet of pink roses on the door from my fiancé who´s in Los Angeles these days... What a sweet surprise!
You can see pictures of them here if you like.

{ A stylish bathroom }

Hello everybody! Ready for the weekend? I certainly am! *smile*

Today I want to share this stylish bathroom styled by Eva Lindh.

I think that the contrast between the dark wood and the white and light grey tiles works perfectly, and together with the black details; F A B U L O U S !

Beautiful right?

Is this a color combination you would like in your bathroom?

{ Bathroom details }

Do you think about the details in your bathroom? I have to admit that this is a room I often forget, even here on my blog. But today I found these wonderful products on the website Bolina that I thought I could share with you.

  I love the natural look of these products.

Do you buy special soaps or other details that makes your bathroom prettier?

The Norwegian store "Bolina" has a lot of other lovely decoration and furniture as well, so if you want to view more, you can visit their homepage here (Norwegian text)

{ A small apartment with character }

Look at this stylish apartment! It´s not very big, but the space is very well used and every corner have lots of character...

 The kitchen island made of bricks gives the whole room a lift, don´t you think?
This island makes a great centrepiece!

Looks easy to build yourself too :)

The little "built-in" bedroom speaks for itself - great idea!

Small, but wonderful!

This is such an adorable living room. Simple - yet lots of details to love.

The bathroom really fits the rest of the apartment, with its clean and modern look.

What do you think of this apartment? Do you see anything you like?
I think there´s a lot of decoration tips to steal from this lovely apartment. It demonstrates that you can make a home with a lot of character, even though you have a small apartment.

{ A home with a cool touch! }

Want to get some cool inspiration?

Let's guide us though this fantastic apartment in Sweden, shall we?

 Let's start with this amazing entrance - what a smashing and welcoming hallway!

And what a funny print; "Yellow is the new black" - I love it!

 Look at this fresh, light and colorful kitchen. A good example on that you can have a colorful room although you have a white kitchen - It's all in the details. Posters are super hot these days, and they are a perfect way to add colors to your wall. ( easy to change when you get bored too )

Chalkboards have been popular for a while now, but I still think they're cool. If you have children, is this a great way to keep track of everything that are happening throughout the week.

I love the size of this kitchen, and the transparent furniture give the illusion of even more space. You can never get enough space, right?

Have you notice the black floor? It makes a wonderful contrast against the white walls.

Home sweet home. Yes, I would enjoy sitting in front of that fireplace - what a jewellery! 

"God morgon" is Swedish and means "Good morning". Cute idea in a cute bedroom. 

 Do you see anything inn this apartment that you like?

I hope it gave you some inspiration, because it sure did to me.

{ Happy Home! }

It's weekend and we need some smashing colors to celebrate, so this happy and colorful apartment is a perfect start of this weekend. 

I adore everything about this apartment, and you should pay attention to all the details because there's a lot of them!

 The picture collage, the DIY table, the chair and the pillows are some of my favorites in this living room.

A round dining table makes it extra cosy.

 The colors in the bedroom and the bathroom truly gives me energy - so lovely!

Notice the use of driftwood over the bathtub. An idea to steal maybe?

 I love the tiles, the open shelves and all the cute mix of color! I wish I was better to use more color myself, but our kitchen is dark brown and this works better with white kitchens I think.

 A shelf to put lovely cookbooks is always nice in a kitchen.

 This hallway makes me smile - I just LOVE the feminine look of it!

Isn't this apartment absolutely adorable?
Do you use a lot of colors this fall?

{ Making it lovely with wood }

Have you seen this cabin over at Skona Hem? I saw it yesterday and right away I fell in love with the industrial style combined with all the homemade furniture made of wood. I think this makes it extra personal, warm and welcoming. Don't you agree?

Notice the pendel lamp made with cutlery - fantastic!

What do you think if this cabin? Do you see any ideas you like to steal?

{ Open House }

Every now and then I go and look at houses that are for sale here in LA. It's fun to see all the big and expensive houses and dream a little. 

This Sunday we went to see a huge glass house that is for sale up in the hills. I like modern houses but this house was too contemporary for my taste. Although it's fun to see what you can get for 12 mill. dollars!

 

View from the garden and the atrium.

Master bedroom

Atrium and the infinity pool

 

One of MANY bathrooms

Pool lounge and one of the living rooms

 Kitchen

The house has a great view and the architecture is fabulous, but could you see yourself live here? I could probably see myself in that infinity pool though :)

Well, this is how RICH people live here in Hollywood *smile*.  Hopefully I can show you one of my dream houses soon. I promise you that there's a lot of them here!

(This is only some of the rooms in the house. It was enormous and  it had more bedrooms than I can remember! But it was dark and I only had my compact camera, so these were the best ones.)


Wish you a great start of the week!

{ Bringing nature to the bathroom }

Natural details are as you probably know very popular at the moment, so today I thought I would show you some ideas on how we can bring them into our bathrooms.

 The warm color of wood makes the room look calm and more cosy and that's what we need this time of year, right?

Do you have any wood in your bathroom?
