Hope to be back online this weekend.
Until then - rest your eyes on this beautifully arrangement of old items

Trendspotting: Sweet Lilac. Syren är vårens färg
Sweet Lilac - Syren är vårens färg
Vår eller försommar? 25 grader i skuggan, och jag är ledig.
Sitter i skuggan och ser syrenerna slå ut. Popp, popp! Kan man ha det bättre?
Lite färginspiration från Pantones trendkulör i vår - Sweet Lilac. Romantiskt värre.

Dreams of uncluttered living
Hope you are having a wonderful spring/fall wherever you are.
I'm having problems with my broadband connection
hence the sparse updates lately.
Wish I could say I've been on a holiday in this place.

An abundance of wood and brick
I've written about several great barn conversions lately. Well here's another!
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Yes, that's the nickname of the entrance way that leads to this modernized belgian farm, that's now a single family home and veterinary practice. The pics above and below shoe the inside yard. By Lensass Architecten.
Outside the dominant material is brick, inside it's wood and plaster.

Redesigning an old barn. Gammal skånelänga blir som ny i orange och turkost!
There once was an old barn in the south of Sweden. Then LASC Studio got hold of it, and converted it to a summer retreat with lots of natural materials. And some stunning color accents! Wow!
Vad sägs om denna gamla skånelänga som LASC Studio har renoverat och byggt om till ett bekvämt sommarboende på Österlen. Spännande blandning av omålade träytor, vitt, orange och turkost i interiören. Skulle du våga?

An old barn comes to life
Yes, it's quite obvious, isn't it? I am trying to catch up, after a few busy weeks, with yet another update: Would you believe this is the interior of an old barn?
Ruinelli Associati Architetti have redeveloped by an old, abandoned barn in Soglio, Switzerland, using much of the original features and materials such as stone and wood.
All that beautiful wood! The building sits on a slope
and is now a three story building of 110 mq on each floor.
and is now a three story building of 110 mq on each floor.
On the top floor is the master bedroom + en suite bath and a loggia, with a stunning view of the historic village. Love the new materials: smooth concrete, raw solid oak and welded steel. Yes please, I would move in any day. Wouldn't you?

Stunning home and office in Brazil
This use to be the home of the late Brazilian artist Victor Brecheret. The house was built in the 1940s in São Paulo, and is rather compact in size (130 m²). It's now the home and office of the architect Guilherme Torres, who has made some minor changes and additions to the building.
The floor plan is the same, but all walls have been covered with new drywalls and received in some parts white paint and in others, a coating that resembles cement texture. The master suite’s toilet is connected to a mezzanine above the kitchen where a bath tub was created. A retractable glass roof can be opened on summer days, to help leaving a mild climate. To soften the rays of sun, a wooden muxarabie, a registered trademark of the architect, was used as a covering following the same pattern of the front door of the house.

Natural Colors and some Clever Room Dividers
Today I stepped by Norwegian design studio X-poDesign. There are always lots of eye-candy for those of us who love the natural, relaxed style. All images here are from interior designer Gro Sævik's online portfolio.
Gro Sævik often uses transparent linen curtains to divide spaces. Both indoors and out, as seen in these pics. A simple and clever way to create intimacy in open spaces.

Swedish living in Black and White
Welcome to glass designer Ingegerd Råhman's monochrome home in the south of Sweden. The house may be from the 1920s, but the interior is very modern, in black and white. My favorite space is the upstairs bedroom. What's yours?
