I've never been much of a morning person (understatement), but lately I've been setting my alarm eye-wateringly early so I can get a few hours work in before the rest of the family wake-up. For example this morning my alarm went off at 5.30 just so I could take my youngest to her tennis camp at 9 and watch in a manner verging on chilled! But I've actually found that once my eyes no longer feel like sand paper (yes, I'm ridiculous!), there's another (secret) surprise for early-risers - the beautiful morning light. Our home (and cottage) looks completely different in the small hours. And it's this light which drew me to this Swedish apartment today. The abbreviated monochrome palette allows the soft pools of light to take centre stage, while touches of wood (in the floor and furniture) adds to the over all warmth of the space. Lovely!
So simple, yet so lovely. And the unique pieces are a feast for the eye too...
....which brings me to a few items I know and love: sitting room - Gubi semi pendant light, white table lamp, string shelves. Study / bedroom -&tradition flowerpot pendant light, cross blanket (I also love this one).
If you're loving this look and fancy a little more monochrome inspiration today, there are over 100 black and white homes in this archive.....(if this comes up first just scroll passed).
And hey, why not - a few other links I absolutely love from around the web today:
There's something beautiful about the 'country evening' post (again, it's that light!).
I quite fancy a blissful night's sleep (or nap) behind this curtain.
7 beautiful bedrooms with grey walls.
Where I'd like to be. In my new favourite Danish bikini cover-up.
I can't stop looking at this wildlife photo....?
Have a wonderful day!
PS is it time for a siesta yet?!
