Cosy In Sheepskin

I've been obsessing about sheepskin for what seems like ages now!  What I really crave is the soft long haired Gotland sheepskins, which sadly seem to be in very short supply in Scandinavia as well as here in the UK.  So imagine my excitement when I came across  Little White Hall Farm and their wonderful Gotland sheepskins. 

I'm happy to report that I'm now on the waiting list for one of their sheepskins.... Can't wait ...  but guess I'll have to!

Design pit stop - Iceland

How gorgeous is  "Stöðin",  a combined restaurant, drive-through, convenience store and gas station! With inspiration taken from an American diner fused with the traditional Icelandic building technique this really is one special building! I love the contrast between the untreated concrete and the playful colours used inside. And with a view of the fjord to die for this place is sure to stop commuters in their tracks!

A home created by an artist

This is the imaginative home of artist 

Sussi Trampedach and her husband Gorm Bülow. The couple have  together transformed this 4th floor Copenhagen apartment into a space dominated by art and interesting details. I especially love the moody grey colours used in the kitchen and bathroom.

The birds are due to land any day  now let's hope that they'll be well received here in the UK too...
