Porcelain from Japan that’s microwave & dishwasher safe, although hand wash is recommended. Since it’s handmade, the glaze colors & texture vary slightly – which is exactly why it’s perfect.
Porcelain

A mix of images about home decor, travel, food, fashion & architecture – which hopefully inspires.
What else 🤷🏻♀️
What else is needed right now, other than a comfy sofa, stack of magazines & naturals light – sounds perfect to me.
Red cabins
Time to move out to the summer cabin, the best time of the year, according to swedes, is definitely the summer. The red little cottage in the heart & soul of us all ❤️
Berlin 🇩🇪
These old “well-preserved” old houses and buildings that tell of historical time & architecture – precious.
Purgi | Greece 🇬🇷
Purgi, the island of Chios in Greece, is known for the painted village. Because of the colourful geometric patterns on the facades of the houses & buildings.
Singapore 🇸🇬
The beauty of this green island city-state. Admittedly a luxury retail location to world-class international cuisines. But Singapore is more than famous shopping precinct, it’s a home to a wealth of experiences. Innovative architecture, exciting tracking trails, heritage buildings & shophouses + parks & enormous greenery all over the city-state.
Sweden 🇸🇪
Sweden’s National Day, June 6, a day when most people are free. There’s a thought to it – to simply have time to celebrate, relax & rejoice.
But just the day itself, June 6, is a perfect day to celebrate the country, the people and the turning point between spring & summer when Sweden is dressed in summer attire & for many is the most beautiful.
Coordinate
Coordinate – a simple way to create calm & harmony through color choices that recur through accents in a well-chosen places in the room.
Skewers
Barbecue skewers are nice & can be done quickly – and they’re wonderfully good in taste. In addition, they can be varied so that they suit everyone’s taste. Add different sauces & you’ll get an almost perfect meal.

A lovely, airy room with a choice of accessories in sour crispy colors that make the room taste like caramel.
Transform
It’s amazing how color & pattern can transform a room, an environment, into a warm & cozy environment.
Generous
Spacious, rustic generous kitchen with different functions based on needs & activities. Whitewashed floorboards & ceilings, an eclectic mix of vintage & mid-century furnitures, all brought together in Avery appealing expression & style.
Waffles
Waffles with spinach, prosciutto & poached egg. A good lunch option – toppings can of course be added after taste & preference.
Architecture
Brutalism – architecture that’s just amazingly exciting. I know what some would think – but still, really great ⭐️
Upholstered
Upholstered chair with timber & rattan sides which expresses elegance & comfort in a charming way. With excellent company in the rough carpet with structure & suitable color scale.
Subtle
Interior with stripped-down, subtle play of colors in soft tones. Pleasant atmosphere where the various functions emerge in their own way & interacts well with the whole.
Light bedroom
A bright light bedroom with a stripped-down color scheme & a pleasant light. A nice solution with the glass divider with black metal frame for privacy but also to distinguish between functions
Travel
There’s a lot of speculations that travel habits will change, decrease & domestic options will be the future. Very possible, but the longing for a different culture, different experiences, nationalities & new acquaintances in the shape of locations – will always trigger the longing & curiosity.
Gardening
It’s difficult to plant next to boulders. There’s not always sufficient soil depth. With deep soil-filled “bowls” made of steel frames with different widths & heights, you get great planting opportunities.
Grandfather’s clock
Grandfather’s floor clock – an old object in an updated form and a bright yellow color makes a good statement. More of the old in new design to make us remember what once was. With a few paintings as company, it becomes a cozy team.
Dream
A dream room for all kids & adults with childhood memories – imagine the sleepless nights & mischievous adventures.
Coffee
Did you know – that Swedes are among the people in the world who drinks most coffee ☕️
Cornwall
Cornwall, one of the destinations we have on our list. It has the longest stretch of continuous coastline in Britain & it’s one of the sunniest areas in the UK. Picturesque villages, Celtic ruins, light blue waters & unique architecture – it certainly is worth visiting.
Summer house
A charming summer house with wooden roofs & walls preserved. The white color on the floor plus windows & door frames makes a difference in the effort to achieve an updated look. The white furniture further enhances the light in the room.
Brownie
Fudge milk chocolate brownie with peanut butter & milk chocolate ganache.
Dark
What do you think of a dark bookshelf? It reminds me of our first home when we were newlyweds. We had a dark bookshelf covering a wall & white painted walls that we combined with a mix of white & dark furniture. Quite traditional & probably an unconscious copy of the parental home.
White
White living, both on the inside & out.
Malaysia
Redang Island, in Malaysia, one of the largest of the east coast. It’s famous for its crystal clear water & white sandy beaches. A paradise ⭐️
Ceramics
Beautiful earthy neutrals – ceramics that highlights the dinner table & enhance the moment together.
Green lily
A beautiful rarity – green lily – which gets elegant gray-green leaves, forming grassy tuves. The flower is carried up on high purple branches with Star shaped flowers in green & white.
Living room
Stylish room in black, white & beige. The same color palette is used on the sofa which has been decorated with a mixture of beige, black & white in the cushions – and the beautiful linen curtains frames the setting in a lovely way.
Coffee shop
Inviting & inspiring entrance to a nice coffee shop. Warm materials & colours & the rug as the welcome home-sign.
Pot
Black ceramic pot with a green sweet plant makes a great team.
Terrace
White guest house in modern architecture with a roof terrace & a beautiful sea view.
Vegan
Vegan no-bake strawberry cheesecake – with a filling packed with vanilla bean – for extra verve.
Asian Civilisation Museum
We spent a couple of hours at the Asian Civilization Museum (ACM) recently. It’s one of the pioneering museums specializing in the material history of China, Southeast, South & West Asia, from which the various ethnic groups in Singapore trace their ancestry.
It’s a beautiful building architecturally on the outside & just as beautiful & exciting on the inside. We walked through the exhibition of Tang Shipwreck, Ancient religions & Life in Edo – all beautifully told & well presented.
