In keeping with the Swedish theme, Jeanette of Stockholm sent us this link to a funky Swedish apartment that is decorated dare I saw in atypical Swedish fashion. This one runs quite a bit more eclectic featuring many vintage furnishings and knick knacks. LOVE the vibe the owners have going on here. Very cool. 

Those Swedes are some talented folks let me tell ya! The trio behind architecture and design firm Claesson Koivisto Rune are at it again (Jo featured them here) with many more minimalist projects. Spaces like these reeeeeeally make me want to get rid of all my crap and enjoy some sparseness. 

Whether the weather is hot and humid or there is just a nip in the air I couldn’t think of a nicer home to sit in the shadows and just chill. Like sitting under a big shady tree or the overhang of a cliff face with a fire scraped together from driftwood. The outside is definitely in. This is what Australian architects do so well. Mosman house by Katon Redgen Mathieson.

A vine covered courtyard with two butterfly chairs. And I don’t even have a courtyard! Damn you real estate stalking! (Don’t want that ugly BBQ though. The vendors can keep that!)

Sometimes when I’m real estate stalking I come across a house that I know just has to be styled for the listing. Who has tin cans and mineral water neatly lined up in the kitchen but no fridge? Who’s kids’ rooms are so tidy they are almost sterile and who has a garden setting perfectly placed mid shot in the garden? As much as this is obviously staged there are some ideas to steal and it seems yellow is the colour to make your listing stand out. Whatever you do though please do not faint when you see the $1 million plus price tag of this Redfern, Sydney terrace house. No wonder they needed to stage it! Bring out the big guns to try to get the big bucks. Ouch. Link here while it lasts.
