Friday Inspiration - Filippa K

The family home of Filippa Knutsson, fashion designer behind Swedish label Filippa K , seems to elude a relaxed, toned-down elegance, just like her clothes. Although I generally have a soft spot for something a little quirky, there's such a stylish, warm and inviting feel to this pad. You can enlarge the photos by clicking on them. Have a lovely first weekend of February!

Ooh, tuo keittiö. Mahtavan iso.

Ja tuo kakluuni vanhempien makuuhuoneessa, kerrassaan upea.

First of all, I absolutely adore your blog! You choose apartments to present that really match my taste :)
Filippa's house is beautiful (I wish I had so much space for myself and my family) but what is missing in most of the appartments/houses is books. I always look for bookcases on the pictures of interiors as for me books are the soul of a house. Interiors withour books are a bit empty and... yes, soulless. No gadgets, no furniture, no objects at all will substitute books.

Your blog is absolutely beautiful! I will add you to my blog roll and come back often!

All best,

I totally agree with chihiro. I actually take a magnifying glass sometimes to see if I can read the titles on the spines. It's fun when I see some of the same books I have on someone else's shelves.

Solange - I agree, her place gives me a warm feeling! Have a lovely weekend!

Magi - Kiitoksia samoin :)

Merja - Tuo avaruus on jotain mitä minäkin ihailen täältä pikkuhuoneisesta torpastamme käsin :) Ja muistelen pienoisella haikeudella entistä korkeakattoista huoneistoamme...

Chihiro - Thank you for your kind words! Glad you've enjoyed the posts. You are so spot on about the lack of books, I hadn't really thought about it consciously before! I agree that a home isn't really a home without books. Perhaps I should devote a post entirely to the way people house their books!

All the Best - I am very flattered! Welcome back any time!

Carol - The contents of someone's bookcase does speak volumes!

Ha, I just noticed a novel on her bedside table! :)

Oh my God, Sanctuary, you'll have a difficult task (but of course nothnig seems to be difficult for you, judging by your interior design skills :)). There are whole books about "living with books" (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/At-Home-Books-Booklovers-Libraries/dp/0500286116/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1201898249&sr=8-1). I have lots of books at home but unfortunately not enough place to store them all nicely...
