You may remember me mentioning a feature about the importance of swapping city life for a few days of rural seclusion which I recently read in Oak - The Nordic Journal. Well, it included an account of a stay at the Vipp Shelter, a prefabricated cabin designed by Danish brand Vipp, and it left me intrigued to find out more. I've seen the shelter popping up on a few blogs and Pinterest boards . . .
Limited-edition prints from Alexandra Dao
I’m lucky enough to meet some truly inspiring creatives through this blog, and the subject of this post, Alexandra Dao, is no exception. Picture editor turned photographer Alexandra is based in London and creates beautiful limited-edition prints. She focuses on capturing the changing light – the way it dances on water or illuminates a petal – and many of her images use flowers as a subject. . . .
Room Envy | A lounge in spring-like shades
I know, I know – this photo seems a bit of a strange choice for this month's ‘Room Envy’ post, as you can’t actually see that much of the space in question. But the beautiful combination of soft, spring-like colours is the perfect antidote to a drizzly winter's day, and I couldn't resist sharing it. The room was styled to show off some of the furniture and accessories available from Danish . . .
Home tour | A Berlin apartment filled with contrasts
What I love most about this 19th-century Berlin apartment, decorated by interior designer Annabell Kutucu and creative director Michael Schickinger (the duo behind the much-blogged-about San Giorgio Hotel on Mykonos), are the many contrasts it contains. Firstly, there’s a striking constrast between the wall colours used in the various rooms. Some, like the lounge and kitchen, are painted . . .
Les Guimards stoneware from Eyespy (+ discount)
You might have seen mentions of Bristol-based homeware website Eyespy on these pages before, as it’s where I sourced the 1970s Bertoia chairs which sit in our dining room. But I was intrigued to discover that alongside vintage furniture and lighting, Eyespy now offers a range of home accessories with a simple, Scandinavian- and Japanese-inspired aesthetic. There are some beautiful items, including . . .
Spring & summer 2016 collection from Hübsch
Winter may still be in full swing (and has in fact only just arrived here in Bristol, where I’ve finally been treated to some fabulously frosty mornings), but some of the new-season interiors collections are already beginning to filter out. One of my favourites so far comes from Danish brand Hübsch, which has a wonderful approach to design. Its team believes homes should strike a balance . . .

![[AD - PR product] I'm getting in the mood for my trip to the Norwegian Arctic on Thursday with 'Skydance' by @aulilondon - a scented candle inspired by the ethereal magic of the Northern Lights. With layers of pine, Siberian fir, cedarwood and iris, it's delicate, fresh, uplifting and gently mysterious - it somehow really does capture the wonder of the Aurora.
I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights a few times before, in Iceland and Finnish Lapland (pictured). I'm keeping everything crossed they make an appearance in Norway, especially as the friend I'm travelling with has never seen them, despite living in Sweden for several years! The weather forecast isn't looking too promising at the moment though...
