What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? Our biggest challenge was storage space. For clothes especially. We solved this by installing a system of shelves in one of the closets and, most importantly, getting rid of old clothes.

Beautiful!
As an aside, does anyone know where I could find round pillows similar to what she has on the sofa in the US/online? I love those...
Livc - i saw a few last time I was in Urban Outfitters. http://tinyurl.com/y683hp3
Gorgeous.
antlers and giant letters...why???? other than that, this place looks great!
The bedroom is especially gorgeous.
Wow, love your bedroom! Your kitchen chairs look like Panton chairs, except I've never seen those before. Very nice love your place!
Looks very comfy. I really like the floor and the wallpaper in the dining area. The tree-rack is cool, I had a similar idea ;)
Lovely place, great taste. Love your kitchen! Thumbs up!
I love your front hall. The tree coat rack with the raspberry background is amazing. I love how it ties into the carpet in the foreground and the way it works with the gray of the other walls in the picture.
There's nothing I don't like about this. Sven Nykvist would love this space.
this is absolutely beautiful. I love how in different countries people make their beds in different ways. I would live here is a second.
No photos of the balkong : (
Sigh. Why is everything the Scandinavians do so much more beautiful? They just have a very steady hand when it comes to decorating.
I love the floorplan - in Swedish!!
Is there somebody in that bed?
The bed kind of freaks me out.
But I love the kitchen. That wallpaper!
You would have benefitted greatly with better photography. I wish I could see more of your home, but what I see looks interesting. Love the wallpaper and sceen in the bedroom. Love the white desk and white lamp. Love the chairs in the dining area.
@livc - Urban Outfitters had pillows like that.
I love the kitchen floors. Nice job.
I love everything about this. Especially the bedroom.
Thank you so much for your kind comments! =)
The kitchen chairs are Danish, designed by Steen Oerstergaard in the sixties. They were a great flee market find.
(Sorry about the antlers ;)
i'm not able to vote..... grrr
have a thumb up. pleasant vibe in your small cool home.
This is perfection. Especially the tree coat hanger!
Jätte fint tycker ja ................
very nice but the photos don't give a good sense of space & i'm finding it difficult to judge the room.
