A charming Copenhagen children's bedroom

It's been ages since I have shown a children's room. I don't know why when there are just so many totally cool children's rooms out there! Look at this lovely bedroom belonging to Olivia Ellen in Copenhagen for example. It's fab!

Bold patterns and colours in a Malmö apartment

This wonderful apartment is currently for sale through Bo-laget and is located in the slightly more bohemian part of Malmö city. So many lovely decorating features I'm not sure where to start. But if I had to choose just three, I'd go for the mosaic kitchen floor, blue panels and Ferm Living dotty wallpaper. Just so cute and fun! what about you?!










Bo-laget via Little Birdie

I love the yellow Fjäll Raven children's rucksack hanging in the hall too. A definite contender for my daughter's birthday pressie in a few weeks time.

Thank you for the tip on this home Little Birdie blog!

PS I'm off on a long weekend adventure tomorrow morning, so exciting! So much to do first though - hurry hurry hurry!! I will try my best to say hello over the next few days so please do pop by but here's an apology in advance if I don't manage!

Pretty in pink...and blue, and yellow....

Nothing brightens up my day like a little pastel. It just adds so much 'prettiness' to a room and at the same time makes a space look really calm. The Scandinavian design company, Muuto (meaning 'new perspective' in Finnish)  have teamed up with one of my incredibly talented neighbours from All the way to Paris and have created these wonderful pictures taken by Petra Bindel. I see that the some of the photo shoot took place in my neighbour's beautiful home which was sold recently. Sorry boys,  but there's no stopping pink this season.

THOUGHTS of OCTOBER ..... BY INVITATION .....

Our 'By Invitation' subject this month is Thoughts of October.  I'm afraid that no humorous connotations of this particular month sprung to mind so, it's just pretty pictures of a time of year that is particularly close to my heart as our son and daughter-in-law got married in October 2008 and was the most wonderful day and a beautiful time of year to get married. 





..... a time for fairytale seed heads .....




..... for dewy spiders webs .....

Enjoy the month of October and please pop over to Marsha to read the other participants thoughts.

Don't mention the C word but...

Hej hej! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Do you know what I did? Bought my first Christmas present (eeek did I just mention the C word?!) - yes really! And I'm not even an organised person. I have a 4 and 2 year old and I promised myself not to have another December like the last one so this year I'm going to buy my pressies from online shops  - like my wonderful sponsors - L'Affiche Moderne  and LET LIV. And like the Sweden based Artilleriet, in case you need any encouragement, here are Artilleriet's inspiration images:

A show of hands for those who'd be happy to receive a present from this shop please?!

Do you have any great tips for some 'to cool for school' online Christmas shopping tips?

PS although I mentioned the C word I have made a vow to myself that I will not actually post any Christmas pictures until at least mid November - son don't worry!

PPS this is not a sponsored post  I just love the pretty pictures :)
