… sweet photo “stolen” from Kim

WINKS – weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we’ve found and things we think you’ll want to see. If you’d like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we’ll link you. So what’s in this week?

• New slipcovers from Bemz in Designers Guild textiles. The new Barcelona Collection will be available as slipcovers for over 70 sofa and chair models to transform IKEA sofas and chairs.  Think of the outrageous pattern fun you could have with these. Eclectic boho madness!

• So tactile so beautifully simple. Felt bowls by Gräf & Lantz. Perfect for your keys and smalls, the remotes or just by themselves. P.S. Want a wine quiver as well. Too cool!

• Hola Amiga from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bags, pillows, art. What can I say? YUM! Modern with a retro vibe, stand out statement pieces, now colour combos.  These are so hot!

• The Clothes Track clothes rack from Italian firm Rocket. Fun and functional it’s design amplified (oooh sorry about the pun). Great for keeping your little musos tidy… or your grown up ones as well!

• I’m loving these beautiful limited edition hand turned timber stools by artist Jo Wilson. Actually I’m loving everything on bricks and mortar Prahan, Melbourne and online store Safari Living. Sweaty palms from lust and longing for just about everything there.

I see Jo’s Swedish photographer and I raise her one Spanish photographer, by the name of Jaime Ferrer. Jaime’s photos are beautiful, and the spaces seem to come to life and beckon you from your monitor to come and enjoy.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! May you have the opportunity to knock of some items on your TO DO list like I hope to gawd I can do with mine.

Let’s end the week with a fab portfolio by yet another super talented Swedish photographer. What is it about the whole scandi style that has us all purring with pleasure? Is it the relaxed and cosy family orientated homes? The simple and practical approach with lashings of personality to cheer up the dark winter months and celebrate the fleeting summer. Whatever it is Karin Björkquist captures it perfectly whether white and bright, dark and moody, jewel like boho or classic gustavian. Brilliant!

Love, love, love Amy Neunsinger. Actually I should say love her work :)… and her home 🙂 Maybe I should actually say that I’m incredibly jealous. Not only is she a fabulous photographer but some of these shots are of her own gorgeous home. She captures perfectly the light, airy white on white vibe that is so hot now. Want to walk into these images and make myself right at home.

Helena, of the blog På vår udde, emailed us with photo after photo of her gorgeous home on Malaren Lake, outside Vasteras in Sweden. OMG the views, and those windows are to die for! It’s a little slice of heaven, and she has decorated it beautifully – simple and comfortable, perfect for a family of 5.
