   I love how european windows open right out into the air…. no screens, or bars, or whatever else there is like here! it’s so much more pleasant looking… I could dream all day out at that view!

   The white couch is the one you’ve been gushing about earlier too! I do agree though, the home is beautiful. And Stockholm is fabulous!! Ever been there?

   Stockholm interior design is great!

   Makes me proud to be Swedish! Sköna hem is a good magazine too, but Residence (another Swedish magazine on interior design) is a bit more stylish I think.

   Stunning, isn’t it? and I do think it’s an apartment….has that feel to it and the view through the window suggests that as well…..I grew up in Europe and these windows are just incredible…I remember sitting at one of them for hours and watching the street below (we also lived in an apartment)…thanks for sharing these super photos!

   I wonder if it has a matching twin next door, I’d love to be your neighbor! ;0)

   Really beautiful and you’ve outlined all the glorious details, but I just have to give one more shout out to the Josef Frank upholstered sofa….amazing!!! I priced some of that yardage recently in hopes of reupholstering a chair.
   Ouch. It’s as pricey as it is gorgeous! If you have any good sources or alternatives, shoot me an email, I’d love to know!

    Me too! We vacationed there a few years ago and I immediately knew I’d want to return one day. I hope my daughter wants to do a semester there when she’s in college – then I could visit frequently with a purpose!

    Very pretty. And it looks so cozy and comfortable, which is really a trick for a stylish home. I usually covet places that probably wouldn’t actually live very well. But I think this place would be comfortable and beautiful.

    Yum, indeed! Not much color, but when it is used, its used so well. Love that last rug! Even the patterned sofa- which usually scare me- is great in the space.

    Lovely flat! It’s a beautiful city (but a little to dark / cold in the winter for me). but perhaps would change my mind if this is where I lived.

    This home is so, so lovely. I could spend an entire afternoon just sitting in that window seat, staring out at that view.

    Yes, this house is pretty much perfect. Scandinavian design is pretty much perfect. All that white? And the wallpaper accent walls? And the windows? And the light? And the view? (And could I just stop?) Okay.

    Totally divine! Wonderful apartment in Sweden!

    And thanks for the head’s up on the “The Art of the Steal”

    On my list to see…….and an absolute fact!

    I went to the Barnes Collection …It was all stacked on top of each other just the way Mr. Barnes wanted it! EXQUISITE!!!

    Beautifully done! And it made perfect sense!

    Now; it will be done in some gallery by someone who is a museum curator….who has none of the enthusiasm nor taste of Mr. Barnes. It makes me sick!
