To travel and to discover new places, to take it easy & to explore – is the gift of life ⭐️
Travel

A mix of images about home decor, travel, food, fashion & architecture.
PARKROYAL
PARKROYAL, on pickering’s, is a building that’s greatly admired around the world as a model of green building design & has been dubbed “Singapore’s most awarded sustainable hotel”.
Semla
Semla is a famous Swedish cream bun, an old-fashioned dessert that was originally invented & eaten on Fat Tuesday, the last day of indulgence before Lent.
It’s made with a plain wheat bread bun lightly flavored with cardamom & cut in half. The inside is filled with a layer of almond paste & vanilla-flavored whipped cream. The top is placed on the whipped cream & the sweet creation is lightly dusted with a layer of powdered sugar.
Traditional practice is that the top should be eaten first & used to scoop the whipped cream. However, the oldest Swedish tradition is to serve the entire bun soaked in a plate of warm milk – the best way to eat a semla.
Henderson Wave
View from the bridge, Henderson Wave, over the rainforest towards the sea. Up in the air, with a slight breeze, enjoying the moment despite the constant heat in Singapore.
Christmas tree 🎄
It’s so wonderful with a Christmas tree in the living room, welcoming with decorations & lighting. Pure joy & happiness 🎄⭐️🎄⭐️🎄
Christmas lunch
The best time of the year, spent with the family is the best gift to be given. MERRY CHRISTMAS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Home library
A dream room – with the fire place, a big table & a book case along the wall filled with books. The perfect home library.
Terrace
A spacious terrace surrounded by green plants & contrasting black facade & radiant daylight – a dream for quiet moments in generous comfortable wooden furniture.
Color tones
It’s really nice to work with colors in the same color scale into the interior. It creates a balanced, calm & harmonious effect.
Rocky road
Rocky road with liquorice confectionery – yummy but also beautiful as an ornament, as long as they last 😋
Sandwiches
Sandwiches work great for breakfast, lunch & dinner with various toppings & goodies. And as party food ⭐️
Stars ⭐️
So many beautiful Christmas stars available – but still, I prefer the old ones that I remember from my childhood ⭐️
Stockholm 🇸🇪
Wouldn’t mind being home at this time of year. So infinitely beautiful with all the candles, candlesticks, Christmas loops & other Christmassy – in the cold winter nights. Wonderful ⭐️
Fruit 🍊
A fruit bowl with frosted fruit is incredibly beautiful, the effect is almost like an old painting. Beautifully decorated oranges, cut in patterns with carnations inserted, create a wonderful Christmas scent in the home.
Bedroom
As Scandinavian as it gets, in a bedroom with this simple & uncomplicated style. Bright, uncluttered & genuine with a huge sense of comfort, space & function.
Snow ❄️
Snow that falls in white lovely flakes & covers landscapes with a thin blanket is probably one of the most beautiful things you can experience.
Classic
Georg Jensen & Royal Copenhagen – a classic table setting for Christmas 🎄
Charming
A lovely small winter town painted directly on the window – what a charming sight ⭐️
Swedish painter
Here’s a wonderful & inspiring Swedish painter, Johan Einar Jolin, one of my favourites, born in Stockholm (1890 – 1976) & studied at the Swedish Artists’ Association’s painting school with his friend Isaac Grünewald, to then continue his art studies for six years under Matisse in Paris.
Jolin’s motif consists mainly of portraits & still lifes, but also city views, all in naive style. The naive shapes convey wonderful colors with a clean, simple & elegant expression.
Wrapping paper
Beautiful wrapping paper & the care around the choice of color, pattern & ribbon is important & increases the experience for the recipient of being special.
Christmas sweets
A box of sweets, the perfect gift for any Christmas gathering 🎄
Perfect
The perfect old stately desk in dark brown wood with arched legs & carvings that you can only dream of in today’s furniture market. Perfect indeed ⭐️
Snow globes
So, we have started to put out small christmas decorations to gild everyday life with some Christmas magic.
Two functions
A separate room that creates two functions although with transparency, avoiding getting a feeling of small spaces. The glass part is a perfect way for openness but still be able to close when needed.

Something great
That something great ahead of us – is the best time if the year ⭐️
Warm
The brown warm color tones, materials & layers upon layers of textiles is a wonderful combination. And together with the photographs on the wall, it’s perfect.
Styles
It’s nice to mix different styles, materials & colours to create a homely feeling. Asian decor with Nordic design suddenly makes the whole room interesting.
Warm minimalism
Minimalism with a warm touch – mixing different white palettes, lighting & levels that creates an exciting result.
Harmony
Different beige tones in an otherwise relatively white & light foundation creates a peaceful harmony. With black added into it, you get a nice contrast.
Villa
Newly restored villa in Italy, available for rent a couple of months more, into September but then going for sale on the market. Beautiful white villa with big windows surrounded by greenery & close to a blue lap pool.
Christmas
It doesn’t have to cost much to create a Christmas feel with simple means. Material such as ribbons, twigs & a few Christmas baubles will go a long way.
Chandelier
A chandelier, spruce twigs & Christmas balls in any color – and suddenly you a beautiful Christmas decoration that gilds the Christmas parties.
