A Swedish apartment with a cosy bed and glossy grey floor

Oh Monday morning, I wish I could like you.  Maybe if I could wake up in this bed, and have a lazy morning padding around the apartment I might feel differently. My favourite room has to be the bedroom- that over-sized chunky knit throw is too cosy for words don't you think?! I love the glossy light grey floor throughout the apartment too, it really sets the calm tone of the space. What do you love about this Gothenburg apartment?

Stadshem. Via Coco Lapine with thanks. 

Could you be tempted to paint your floors in a glossy grey?

Items I know and love: Svenskt Tenn elephant cushion, HAY dot cushion, find a similar chunky knit blanket and pouf here. I'm a big fan of the Butterfly chair in cognac leather.  Lucky boy sunday fancy finger cushion and a simialar dotted and striped cushion. Eames DSW chairs. Sheepskin throws.

A cosy weatherboard cottage interior

The final home tour of the week always needs to be fabulous. I search in particular for somewhere that warms the heart, somewhere perhaps where you could see yourself spending the weekend. And this home hits the mark. Spotted over at blog extraordinaire Design Sponge, the 1890's weatherboard cottage in Queensland, Australian is home of photographer and stylist Kara Rosenlund and her husband. It's crammed with beautiful treasures collected over the years from all their travels as well as local vintage finds. Kara takes a lot of her inspiration from nature and you can seen this in the autumnal colours and mix of browns and whites. Could you spend your weekend here?!

Oh so lovely. What a home! 

I've actually shown Kara's home before here. Can you believe it's the same home? It looks completely different (beautiful in another way) which just goes to show how you can transform a home! 

Some of the items such as the horse and outback print can be found in Kara's shop (don't miss her limited edition sea print too - so stunning!).

You can see more images and read more about Kara's home here. 

This is the second brown and white themed home this week (other one here, in case you missed it!). What a beautiful combination. 

And how cute is this autumn outfit (found in the archives while I was looking for inspiration)?! 

Don't forget to pop back tomorrow to enter my weekend give-away!
