Kicking Off Swedish Week With Josef Frank

You already know that French and Swedish/Scandinavian styles are my top two favorites and that my home is a pretty even mix of the two. But sometimes I heavily favor one over the other, depending on my mood. And these days, I’m all about Scandinavian, especially Swedish.
So I’m declaring this week Swedish Week at FTRB. What does this mean? Here’s what you can expect:
Tuesday – A Stockholm apartment that you will flip over. I sure did.
Wednesday – Swedish-inspired styling of the mantel in my family room. (Yes, I’ve finally taken some photos around the house!)
Thursday – Another Swedish hotel with more inspiring design ideas than you can imagine.
Friday – An amazing, fantastic, stupendous Swedish/Scandinavian giveaway. It’s something I’ve been coveting forever and just ordered myself.

As for today, I’m kicking off the week with another look at Josef Frank’s beautiful designs. Here are some truly inspirational photos from Svenskt Tenn, the interior design shop in Stockholm where its founder Estrid Ericson and Josef Frank created those iconic patterns.





I’m so excited about Swedish Week, it’s ridiculous. I hope you enjoy it!

I never, ever tire of images of Josef Frank prints…this week should be very exciting around here!
Me either! I can’t get enough of them.
LOVE it all, especially that beautiful first vignette!! Looking forward to the rest of the week!
Me, too. It’s one of my all-time favorites!
That wallpaper + the mirrored cabinet = absolute dizzying perfection. Should be a good week
Well, I have to admit that this is not at ALL my world but I am loving discovering it–so incredibly happy! How could you ever be down in such an environment?
Hmmm, the black and white dotted swiss is making more sense now…
Ohhh loving those rooms. Those color filled rooms are delightful!
Bright, beautiful, fun and refreshing…love it…now, how to get from where I am to there…hmmm. Thanks for sharing…looks like it’ll be a good week.

Love the boots! I would like to enter – is this the correct website on which to leave a comment? Here is my GFC name: bungalow000 at yahoo dot com.
I love the tall grey boots. I think they would actually wish for rain!
Thank you, Carol
