P L A Y | ful summer house

Right inside the door all the favorite activities of summer life is right at hand.

The special crab fishing bucket has a lid with air holes and speaks french (if spoken to) due to it being almost a French antique that made me jump with joy as I found it. It was just right for this family.  

The summer house was the families project for many years. RENOVATING. Doing all they could themselves. When the house burnt down they felt like their efforts for years were for nothing. Husräddarna, TV3 rebuilt the house in the spirit and feel interior and exterior wise of the outgoing summer activated family that inhabit this abode once again. 

Welcome home!
(I LOVE SAYING THAT TO OUR FAMILIES!!)

Decorating with playful usefulness.

Time for badminton.

50´s design around the table in Eames DSW chairs, Vitra. Bespoke rustic round table diam. 140 cm seats 6 comfortably, Lövsjö Loghouse. 

The cable drum became both kitchen lamp, shelf and deco.

Useful artistic wall. Lemon, Johanna Hedlund Art.

Cable drum light made with 6 yellow painted Ikea table lamps. First ever sail type of curtain I´ve come up with.

The tray table was a net find that I set with the copy of the old recovered  Island map of  Råssö where the summer house is located. The same type of map was a dear belonging that was lost in the fire.

Graphic wall from top, Ylva Skarp, Forestbird, Johanna Hedlund Art. Set on the traytable, Ylva Skarp.

Yes. It´s a rock and seaweed in the vase with rope handle, Interstil.

The hanging chair corner complete with floor cushion, Swedish Rags and the beautiful hemp carpet, Armadillo.

Curiosity, Ylva Skarp, found in the corner of the ceiling.Red cushion, Mimou. 

Sarah Widman 8. Rope lanterns, Interstil.

The blue pendant lamp, Northern Lighting, matches the over 100 year old child wooden chair.

Green pallets made the foundation of the sofa that with back cushions and a bespoke enormous seat cushion from Swedish Rags, made it possible for the whole family to hang out stylish and extremely comfortably. Wall canvas, Photowall which is the same wallpaper that you find on the closet sliding door by the door. Lovely printed and black/white cushions,Mimou. 

Floor lamp, Northern Lighting. Sofa seat and matching cushions, Swedish Rags.

Hemp carpet, Armadillo.

Pendant lamps, Northern Lighting.

Bespoke cutting boards that slide on the kitchen top, Lövsjö Loghouse. Notice board and wall-lamp, Northern Lighting.

 

Letter candles from Terrible Twins. The 50´s magazine on the 50´s teak table were a auction find along with the tray tables and all teak furniture. A mix of old and new makes a home. Don´t you think? 

P A T I O | plan

To enjoy the sun outside seated comfortably was the dream.

The house that burnt down never had a patio and that was something the family longed for, so when Husräddarna, TV3 rebuild the house we made sure that the garden patio was made to the families liking.

Our carpenter Björn made this simple and clever plant ladder. Together we decided the size of each level to fit the tires as pots, and make room for the plants and deco all the way to the top. 
The plant ladder is a great way of creating levels of greenery instead of just setting all pots on the floor of the patio.

Chunky and comfortable out door furniture with a relaxed lounge style in the sun just after the rain. 
I had never seen this line of furniture and was in Copenhagen during the North Modern Furniture Fair at Bella Center when I found the Kenneth Cobonpue Furniture stand. As you see we found the right furniture for the family which was incidentally the first ever furniture from the world wide design company of celebrated designer Kenneth Cobonpue in Sweden.

The hanging bed really looks comfortable, it was designed &built especially for the family by Björn Christiernsen

F O R E S T | green dreams

Green metal cabinet storage and color. Camo chair,PrettyJo

Didrik told me first he wanted a treehouse-like room, but he thought he could not say that to me because I would do just that.

 Well I did in a way, but without the actual tree. Well, then again maybe I did... See for yourself. This is Husräddarna episode 6 and Didriks room, a young musician and philosopher.

The blackboard was painted with magnetic paint and the test tube like little vases are such you get when buying for example  vanilla. Each glass tube got a small magnet attached with super glue, so the "vases" can be moved on the board. 

The birch headboard could keep one small twig on which the cord lamp hangs. Birch tree headboard made by the master of the woods, Erik the timberman of Lövsjö Loghouse.

Lighthouse. Just a cord lamp and a rusty old bird cage. Olsson-Jenssen.

Hangning chair. If you never tried sitting in one. Do it. Chances are you might like it...

Green is more than a color.

Steampunk lamp from Lightshop. It should have had 5 lightbulbs, but the city of Huddiksvall did not offer the right one and one of the bulbs was crushed in the transport. So I made the choice of not having the 5th instead of having another type of bulb. Really like this wallmounted lamp/artpiece.

The hanging pots will not rain down water or dirt. They are a very clever invention that you just have to check out, Skyplanter.

The  wallpaper being the art of the room, Photowall

This is Didrik´s morning view when he opens his eyes in bed.

Vertical garden.

The seventies looking brown walls are actually cork. Cork as wallpaper that you naturally can use as a notice board or your own gallery. Go crazy and put up every single picture you saved.

Plant pictures in the old school tradition are remade and in such a lovely way. So if you do not find the vintage ones don´t fret. Get Grunne.

The burlap type bedspread with a black letter print became both curtain and bedspread. Really like the quality and the heaviness of the fabric. The chocolate colored pillow case and cover, Zebra Collection. All other textiles, Jotex.

P O W D E R | pink musical

When I heared of Vibekes pink wishes and love of 50´s dresses I immediately thought of  a GREASE (movie/musical) inspired room but today. Husräddarna, TV3 episode 6 the pink edition.

/Jimmy

The 50´s makeup table in teak was a net find. The wall Hay wall rings and hand got some powder pink coats of paint as well. The Hay chair on wheels is such a perfect 50´s to 2015 type of seat.

Copper piping as a display wardrobe partly painted with a powder pink metal paint. Closet Lumi doors got a wallpaper from Photowall that I also cut pieces from and used freely as a enhancer.

Looking like painted roses on old wood. Worn&wonderful. LOVE what the right wallpaper can do for an interior, Rebelwalls. 

The bedside lamps are attached from the ceiling. I just added the white ghost blanket. Both from Jotex. 

All dressed and ready to rumble.

Handy. Wooden hand, HAY.

More of a pink thread in this interior.

Else-britt is a real 50´s girl. A full size manequin. Almost intact...

The frilly type of underskirt like, tutu gone mad lamp threesome, is the most fun object I found at Ikea for a long time.
The bed is made with Zebra Collection, Ilva and Jotex. 

A fifties type of easy chair but today just went perfect in the corner,Ekeby Möbler. The real car lamp from a 50´s car turned out great in a power pink coat of paint and with new lights installed. TACK JONNY!
