The word “gezelig” in Dutch translates to coziness in English. Although, I would say it’s not really a literal translation. It’s more of a feeling. It’s something like “Hygge” in Danish perhaps. The Scandinavians have mastered the art of coziness I must say and I love Scandinavian simplicity. This apartment in Sweden is a perfect […]

A Sunny Swedish Apartment
Happy Wednesday! It is a gorgeous sunny day again in a row and I cannot be happier. A sunshine makes me happy always… 🙂 Sunshine is so rare in this part of the world during winter (well Spring is almost around the corner) that a place filled with sunshine brings me undeniable and unexplained joy.

HGTV Dream Home 2019 in Montana
Hello, Happy Tuesday. I had been away from blog writing for an entire week. My daughter had a one week holiday and it was her birthday as well. So I decided just to devote the time to her and relaxation. Nothing stressful at all. We didn’t really go away for vacation. We enjoyed the sun […]
Summer House On The Island Of Syros
The view from the bathroom is what caught my eye to this summer house. Well, it’s not summer, I know, not yet. But it definitely is spring. Since yesterday, the weather is warmer and the glorious sunshine reminds of spring. Islands of Greece would be lovely in Spring. My daughter cannot really take the heat […]

Our Beloved Thonet or Bentwood Chairs
Bentwood or Thonet chairs are very classic and elegant. Chairs that had been around for a long long time and will not go out of style. They give a very minimal and Scandinavian look (did I tell you that I love all thing Scandinavian?). More than that, that is even if you are not so […]

The apartment has 2 bedrooms and the best thing is, this apartment has a fireplace in the bathroom. Wow! How lovely that can be. I have never experienced […]
A Cozy Scandinavian Apartment
Hello! Happy Monday! Wish your weekend was nice. My weekend wasn’t so good. On Friday evening, I fell from the staircase and hurt my collar bone. On a second thought, the weekend could have been worse, at least I did not break any bone. Hmmm, that’s positive thinking I believe. Anyway, now my right arm […]
An Organic Kitchen
Lately, I had been thinking about the term organic with regards to home design and lifestyle (not just consuming organic food). I must admit, I love the combinations wood, linen, neutral design – mostly monochromatic, handmade ceramic, and indoor plants. While surfing through the internet a few weeks ago, I found this kitchen by Holy […]
