Not your usual Scandi boho apartment. Not the shabby chic meets edgy urban meets industrial with mid century splashed with neon bright colour/black, grey and wood with square tiles in kitchen and bathroom. (Have I left out any Scandi combinations?) Yes it’s white but think easy elegance. Gustavian. Relaxed traditional. Old world, old money but in a bijou modern apartment. Not your ordinary everyday Scandi boho but instantly recognisable a Swedish none the less. Not so shabby at all. Link here.

Jo – Hey honey my anti-virus thingy expires in 14 days. Should I renew or buy a different one?

Kelvin – I’ll get D (my stepson) to install a different one. I have an extra licence.

Jo – Thanks honey.

That was Wednesday. 4 days later and I’m still without my computer. They decided to change my operating system and screwed it up once and after 6 hours today apparently we are still waiting for “number 3 of 4 to install…do not turn off your computer”. Or was that 2? God I hope it isn’t 1. Then we still have to install that illusive security software. You know. The one in the conversation above. The one mentioned 4 days ago. I can’t get near my files, my Photoshop, my Snagit, my bookmarks. (Help I’m lost without my bookmarks!) Those who are tech savvy will shake your head at my inadequacy but I’m like most of you. I drive the bus. I don’t build it or service it.

Long story short I’m on my teeny tiny netbook and it’s another stalking post. They’re easy to do especially when you don’t have all the fancy tools you’re used to having at your finger tips. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal tomorrow…. or the next day…. or the next.

Oh the house. I almost forgot. Who could believe that behind its tiny unassuming facade is such a lovely house? Favourite bits? The spiral staircases, the garden and the wine cellar. I could live and die in a wine cellar I do believe 😉 Link here while it lasts.

Take a terrace in Paddington, Sydney. Do the usual. Dark grey exterior. White interiors. So far just like your neighbours. Add black trims. Still like many of your neighbours. Fill with colourful furniture, rugs and great art. You’re narrowing down the locals who decorate just like you. Paint your kitchen in your face yellow. All of it. Everything. OK now you’re on your own! So much to love about this house. Some of it leaves me scratching my head. Does anyone know if the pyramids of fruit are pieces of art, housewarming presents or early “Christmas trees”? Link while it lasts here.

Welcome to stylist Myrica Bergqvist’s home. It may be a tiny apartment but it’s packed full of style. How do these Swedes do it? Is it in their genes? Not only has Myrica created a beautiful small space home she is also responsible for the cool laser cut acrylic headboard and acrylic bowls.(You can see more of her range here.) It’s a funky mix of retro pieces and scandi white with Myrica’s personality shining through. My favourite spot? The kitchen/dining table… and the bedroom nook. What’s yours?

A few days ago you’ll remember I featured a bright and colourful apartment styled by Myrica Bergqvist. Today I have a few more shots of this “hundreds and thousands” home from Myrica’s website. Love the apartment. Love Myrica’s work. It’s fun and relaxed, packed with personality and if not quite perfect it’s always perfectly lovely. It can be real life and even a little larger than life as in what I’ll call the “cat house” and the “pool house” will show. Come back tomorrow and I’ll have even more Swedish fab and funky styling as we take a look inside Myrica’s own tiny home.
