OFFICE CORNER

Hi Tuesday! We had a long and wonderful weekend where we went to a family event with my boyfriends work, visited my parents and yesterday we celebrated Iceland's national day. All in all a pretty decent past three days... 

What I've got for you today is a peak into my office corner. I am currently on a hunt for a new chair, this one is literally falling apart! It's a part of my dining table+chair set that belonged to my great grandmother that she bought when she first started her own home so it's really old. The stick-up weekly calendar is from Poketo, I bought it at Hrím. Since I work just a little bit here and there it's nice to have this weekly calendar to remind the boyfriend of when I work because he easily forgets. The desk, shelf and filing storage is from Ikea, basic pieces that most people are familiar with. I wanted the trestles in white but they weren't available so I've been thinking about spray-painting them white. It's on the o-so-long to do list. I have plans to change the living room soon so after that's done I am planning on changing this corner slightly. I will probably show you the changes when they're done. 

Have a lovely day!

WORDS

It doesn't happen too often that I do a blog post on Sunday's. So how about a little inspireing quote to take with you into the new week that is just about to begin? I have an entire board dedicated to these kind of quotes and sayings on my Pinterest so I thought it could be fun to do this little 'Sunday Words' from now on - how about it?

SIMPLY BREAKFAST

I know my blog focuses on home and design. But in my opinion home and food go hand in hand a little. Don't you agree? I think I've told you before that I am quite the morning person, and one of the joys of having an early morning is you actually have time to make a delicious breakfast and really enjoy it with a side of coffee or tea. So I was pleased to find the blog that focuses on the art of breakfast; Simply Breakfast. What is on your breakfast plate? Are you a cereal kind of gal or do you make yourself something extra special? I usually have oatmeal with berries, smoothies, greek yogurt with berries + muesli or a toast topped with something delicious. But on Sunday's it's hard to resist the classic eggs+bacon and/or pancakes!

ELINA DAHL LIVES HERE

This is the home of Elina Dahl, husband Oscar and their son Elis that appeared in Älskade Hem. Her home seems effortlessly relaxing yet alive and full of joy. Her prints are seen through out the apartment in mix with other great wall decors. If you like her prints, like I do, you can try your luck and enter her giveaway!

RISÅSGATAN

Hello Tuesday! Today's been really nice and relaxing. My boyfriend is on summer vacation this week so it's nice to have him around all day. Today's also my mother in law's 65th birthday! So I have some mango+coconut cupcakes in the oven that we are going to bring with us when we go pay her a visit. 

What I've got for you this time is this light, airy and bright Goteborg apartment from Alvhem. As you already may know if you read my blog from time to time I tend to fall quite frequently for Swedish apartments... There's just something about them... This one features the wow factor that always catches my attention; double doors, high ceiling and hardwood floors. It's a trio that I don't think I'll ever get tired of. Also one of the many beautiful furniture pieces in the living room you find the Karlstad couch from IKEA that I am planning on buying soon.
