I found itsallvintage quite recently and I just love it. It’s filled with lots of retro and vintage inspiration (I especially like the visits) and, on top of that, the writers, Annika & Lovisa seem to share most of my opinions and my view of life in general.
Check out this DIY hook strip they did:
The second hand hangers are also really great.

When I lived in Stockholm, I used to work near by a wonderfull store called Apparat, filled with really cool vintage stuff, often with an industrial feel. Now they have closed the store, but continues on as interior design company, with focus on functionalistic kitchens and decoration. Here are some pictures from their web site. The lamps in the arch are a favorite of mine.

Here’s what the bedspread looks like on the other side. I don’t really know which side I like better. Kind of like them both.
Started off my vacation today, by going swiming in a lake near by. Or actually, compared to the great summer house I just found for sale, the lake wasn’t near by at all. :-) The summer house had it’s own beach just outside the front door. Wouldn’t that be something?!
Today I’m also dreaming of a vintage 60ies leather/wood sofa, much like the one in the apartment below. A dream that’s a little more feasable.
I said before that we shouldn’t have another leather sofa, because of the cat, but perhaps if we found a cheap one, we could give it another try. Leather’s great with the kids and I’m not sure a sofa made of another fabric would be any better with the cat.

Our new bedspread has arrived.
Instead of the Tolix-drawer we found this nice (and cheap!) cabinet from Ellos.
I instantly filled it with fabrics and other sewing stuff. I just hope that Ester won’t find it right away… She’s quite a little menace right now. :-)
Yesterday we went to a wedding, so today we’re pretty tired. Johan is vacuumcleaning with a little help from Ester, Eowyn is doing her Pippi-jigsaw puzzle and I’m enjoying having a brand new battery for my Macbook. Lovely to once more have a computer that lasts more than half an hour without plugging in the power cord.
Here are some pictures from Rice to brighten up this slow Sunday.

Family Living came out with a new issue yesterday, and it was as good as always. This little playhouse was really cool (they also seem to have launched a new website - check it out).
