Plants, Art and Design in a Beautiful Berlin Apartment
Why, hello there! While last week’s posts were very much about the Swedish country home, I thought I’d kick off the week with a city dwelling. After all, we can all dream about a romantic home in the countryside like Beata’s or Maria’s – tbut he majority of us are likely to live more urban! So,

Maria’s House By The Sea on Sweden’s Breathtaking High Coast

A Small Swedish Home With a Smart Room Divider
In small quarters, creating a calm, practical and comfortable living space that’s also beautiful isn’t always easy, but it’s something the Swedes are especially good at! While this apartment might be blessed with a spacious kitchen, the living room needs to serve as a place to sit, relax and socialise as well as a bedroom.
When Removing Wallpaper Rips the Wallboard
 I recently took on a project that I’d been meaning to tackle for some time—removing the wallpaper in the hall bathroom of my parent’s home and preparing the walls for paint.
