i love when I am forced to broaden my horizons and see boring old thing in new light! Maybe painting some old plastic chairs will be a projects for next summer!

Merry Christmas!
Whether you’re like me (and most Swedes) and celebrated on Christmas eve, or if you celebrate on Christmas Day, I wish you all a very merry Christmas, with lots of joy! And remember to let yourself be inspired!
Thank you for this first month!
Set the Table – Scandinavian Style 1.0
If you’re looking to set your table Scandinavian style (and not just for the holidays) then you better not miss these inspiring collections!
Rörstand – Filippa K
In case you don’t know, Filippa K is a fashion designer (she happens to be one of my favourites), who has been cooperating with Rörstand, one of Sweden’s porcelain manufacturer, for 10 years! Rörstand in general has some amazing stuff, so if you’re interested, check out their website
I was happy to find information on the latest collection – 2014’s edition: Cut out, here
As I mentioned Rörstand in general has some amazing stuff! Preview?
More is coming after the holidays!
Hard Work Work
I need a peaceful workplace to be effective, but some style never hurts. Apart from the IKEA paper shop that I wrote about here, I’ve found some inspiring accesories that might make 2014 more effective!

Retro-Modern Leather Chair
Add some character with a chair that ages with you!
Found this inspiring photo on Room for a Pony (I actually found some inspiration on wordpress! Hopefully this is just the beginning!)
And this led to a treasure hunt for more:
Just 1, 2, 3, 4…. Advent!
Light four candles and finish all your Christmas crafts and baking! Good Luck!
Curtains
I’ve never been a big curtain fan, i always feel like they make the room smaller, and I’ve seen too many horrifying examples when the curtains have completely brought down the room.. But these images inspire me to the point of actually considering them. Just remember when choosing curtains: you don’t have to have them! Only if you find curtains that you feel will lift your room to new hieghts, go for it! Be creative! In my opinion, rather no curtains than boring curtains!
So what’s going to lift your room?
A cool curtain rod like this one featured at Pastill.nu?
Maybe a cool pattern makes you smile?
Or something sweet?
Maybe you just want to frame that awesome wallpaper you have (or are getting! ) between to windows?

Trendreport FW 2013
Even though I’ve never been a huge fan of following trends and people telling others what’s “hot” and what’s “not”. I just think it tampers with creative freedom and suppresses people’s will to listen to their own preferences when it comes to style, whether it’s about fashion, make-up or interior design.
But this season, I personally loved that these features became trendy!
Flora and Fauna
I love nature, and anything that brings me closer to it. From details like feathers, to materials like untreated wood. I also love photography. So when photographs of animals and flora started appearing on sheets and pillows I just couldn’t resist (as can be seen here).
Warm Metals
As I’ve mentioned earlier I’m completely hooked on warm metals like copper, brass and gold. Interestingly enough, these metals have been a rare sight in our homes since the flower power 70s when they completely flourished. Now they’re making a comeback, and copper, brass and gold can be found everywhere. I love it!
Graphic
This trend nearly didn’t make this list, but I couldn’t resist, even though I can’t help thinking that this trend has been taken a little too far. As with most things, good things come with moderation. But a nice piece of graphic art to give a room a more modern feel doesn’t hurt!
I really like the Zigzag feature of the graphic trend though!
More wineglasses
There are lots of cool ways to make space for the guests you wish you could fit into your home!
The coolest I’ve found lately is this wineglass lamp that holds 40 glasses! Good luck finding a more stylish way to store and display your wineglass collection!
