Hi lovlies, I am beat. I have been knocked down by the stomach flu. So all day yesterday I was in bed (pictured above) feeling a little (read a lot) sorry for myself. At least I have a real comfy bed. More of our bedroom here. If I feel better I will check in later with a more exciting post. Otherwise I hope to be back tomorrow. xx - Joanna

If you have followed sbp for a while you have probably noticed that I truly love Eva Juliet's work (I have blogged about Eva Juliet a few times in the past, here when I was waiting to go into labor, as well as here, here and here she hosted a giveaway at sbp.). I feel honored to have Eva Juliet as one of my sponsors. I have her Choisis la Joie (choose joy) print in my kitchen and every time I look at it it reminds me to take responsibility for the energy that I put out into the universe. It can turn a so so day into a day filled with smiles.
I would love it if you take a few minutes and head over to her shop and have a look around. I promise that you will be inspired and maybe even find a gift for a special friend or family member (or why not a gift for yourself?). You can also find Eva Juliet on Facebook and make sure to check out her very inspiring blog.

Hi Lovelies! So back in July I was featured in Rue Magazine and I promised to share a few more photos and answer a bunch of questions that I received both in comments and via email. I know... it has taken me long enough to get around to this. But better late than never! I have decided to break the post up into a few separate posts. Today I will share our bedroom.
The t-shirt Axel, my little guy, is wearing is designed by me. I really like making prints for his t-shirts. I might just have to open a little side business. What you think?
Many of you wondered about our bed. It is made from a bunch of transport pallets. My hubby to be painted them them white and there you have it. A very easy DIY for a simple and inexpensive bed! The green pillows with the elephants are from Svenskt Teen (they have lots of beautiful fabrics) The blanket and the large knit pillows are by Society. I picked them up at NK Inredning. The lamp is from Bestlite.
We searched long and hard for our book case. We had a very hard time agreeing upon one and then all of a sudden when we were in Paris last summer we found it at Habitat. Getting it home from Paris is a story in it self ( I will spare you).
I collect glas bottles. All bottles that are pretty. I have lots. On our night tables we have 2 of the Evian limited edition bottles designed by Issey Miyake and Christian Lacroix. The chair I found in an antique shop in Stockholm. The white stool is from Indiska. So there you have our bedroom. xx - Joanna

I have been promising some big news around here lately and I am thrilled to share it with you today... I have been Rued! Yes, my home is featured in Rue Magazine Issue 6. I am so excited to be part of the big international issue! None of the home tours are from the US. I feel very honored to be a part of so much beauty. Every page is jam packed with stunning and then amongst it all on page 124 is my tiny apartment.
Above are some of the picks from Rue and some that did not make the cut. Head over to Rue to see more from my home. I might put together some more photos in the future. If there is anything you like in my apartment and want to know where it is from just leave me a comment.
Thank you Rue for having me! I also want to thank Alexander Pihl for taking so many lovely photos of my home, Mackenzie Horan for writing the article and to Monika of Splendid Willow for suggesting me to Rue and putting us all in touch. Thank you all! It has been such a pleasure!

Hello lovelies! I have a little treat for you today. My home. This is where I blog from (at the moment I am sitting in my couch). The wonderful Jane of Ill Seen, Ill Said has featured me today. To see more photos click here. Feels a little strange showing my own home! Love posting others but never thought I would feature my place.
We will be changing it up soon, when we Jesper moves home (eiiii excited!!), we will need to merge two homes into one. As you can see I like mixing the new with the old, I love typography and I have stacks and stacks of magazines throughout the the apartment. We have a few pieces in our Luxembourg home that I cannot wait to get home (like a coffee table we found at a market in France last summer). Anyhow. I love traveling and being out and about but nothing beats being at home...
