I got a new favorite blog, Time of the Aquarius which is by the Finnish girl Minna living in Helsinki. Most of the images is her own photographs. And these shows her beautiful home. Light and bright with a nice graphic twist, just my cup of tea!
A picture like this says it all! In my dreams I am a lucky owner of this house, having my morning shower inside and a bit outside! Heaven! More bathroom inspiration can you find here. Source.
I like this masculine touch to this design. Bult by Norwegian Elisabeth Ellefsen, a graduated furniture designer from the Art Academy in Bergen, Norway. She wanted to create a durable and functional product that could stand the use year after year and BULT is a great result. Comes in 3 different sizes and the color, red, white and black. Price range from 149 NOK – 179 NOK at PurNorsk webshop. The Bult hooked is produced by Färg&Form.
Some products are just so brilliant in its idea and simplicity. These wooden stools from the small Norwegian company Krosser is just that. Krosser farm “harvest” their material in their own woods and create these beautiful objects. Love the glossy finish with the organic shape. You get them in different sizes and finishes. Use them as table, sideboard or stools. They also create special pillows in either wool or sheepskin. Norwegian blog site Norske Interiørblogger just visited their farm and took some pictures of the production, and here you can see Cathrine, the owner in action.

I do have a love for Japanes architecture. They have an own skill to create beautiful architecture in small places and this house is an perfect example. Their attention to shape, light and space is amazing. Yes, you as a scandinavian might think the building is a bit cold with all its concrete and lack of warm wood texture. But I think that the interesting angles makes up for it. It is amazing that such a tiny house creates so many interesting viewpoints as you can see of all the images. The architects behind this build is Sschemata, recommend you checking out their site, many great pieces of work. Found via and images from One off mag.

Love this styling in this image from IKEA. They just got a new steel shelf out HYLLIS as you see on the picture. Simple in shape and cheap! Only 79,- NOK ! Seriously considering this in my office space, until I find the perfect vintage industrial shelf which I know going to take me years to find and a small fortune!
