I blogged about this perfect Swedish apartment a couple of months back. Designed by Alvhem, a Swedish interior firm, I am really inspired by their style and their use of the colour white in all their projects. My very Asian mother will tell me it’s not the most practical of colours, but you can’t deny that it’s gorgeous and offers one a great palette to work with, leaving plenty of room for creativity.

Some of these apartments are up for sale. Now, if only I had some Krona to spare…

If You Think You Need Some Lovin, by Pomplamoose

If I ever get married, I think I’ll have a tiny wedding so I can save the money on furnishing the house. No kidding. Already, I’m picky about sound, so I’ll be spending a good amount on a kickass audio system. And I’ll definitely want some fancy art pieces adorning my bare white walls. Then there are all these mid-century modern designer chairs that I love, no thanks to my previous job that got me researching on them.

There’s the Klassiker Chair by Minwoo Lee:

The Palms Chair and Ottoman by Jeff Vioski:

The Mrs Godfrey Chair by Jonathan Adler:

The PK 9 by Poul Kjaerholm:

The Three-Legged Chair by Hans J. Wegner:

A familiar one, the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen:

And of course, the DAW and DSW by Charles and Ray Eames:

Exactly why a tiny wedding is necessary.

Ugly Day, by Five Iron Frenzy

Now that’s a phrase that makes me squeal with girlish delight. :p

I don’t know what it is that this Swedish giant does, but it always makes my favourite holiday look so gorgeous.

It makes me want to throw a dinner party so I can set my table to look like this:

And I’ll be preparing my Christmas menu in a kitchen that looks like this:

After all the hard work, I’ll soak in a tub surrounded by snowflakes and Christmas scents, like this:

Then I’ll set up the rest of the house with plenty of pendant lamps like these:

When it’s all over, we’ll sit by a fireplace lined with Christmas stockings, like this:

And on Christmas morning, we’ll gather around and open presents all nicely wrapped up like this:

You can check out the online catalogue here. :)
