Positive thinking


Its such a dark start of the week today with the sky covered in a blanket of grey clouds. Fortunately, the snow is melting away quickly and during my morning walk with Ollie all I could hear around me were early Spring birds singing. And this romantic Swedish living room I just discovered, with its soft colors against a neutral white backdrop lifts my spirit even more. Positive thinking, right? I tried picturing the space without the pink peonies and realized they were most important for me to make this Swedish design stand out. Though pretty as can be, the similarity of Swedish apartment designs (wooden floors, white or flowered walls, detailed ceilings and minimalistic modern and rustic furniture) can be boring and predictive. But not this home. The bright, eclectic, old and modern feel with a pop of yellow and as said the flowers make it feel like a cozy, romantic Spring retreat. What do you think?

  5. I like the table area by the window in the living room. But I am not a fan of the wallpaper. I love painted walls, and white is usually the way to go for me. I hope today is sunnier. It's finally stopped snowing here and I can even see the blue sky here and there. :)
