Etsy finds for the whole family

Hi guys! I am in full swing and continue to produce more content regularly. Yay! It feels great. And since one of my favourite websites to find new and inspiring things is still Etsy, I had a look and gathered some of my finds for you.

Etsy has always been a great source of cool things, out of the mainstream bubble, and you can find a lot of entrepreneurs with big passions and talent.

And as mentioned before, the focus on Paul & Paula is going more into family than only children these days, I selected things for the whole family. Things that can work in various spaces, every member of the family can enjoy and that can be shared.

They do make pretty great gifts for special people too. Ha!

Let’s have a look, I hope you enjoy, I am particularly smitten by those glass candle sticks:

1. Hand carved from sandstone and marble, these Unique Natural bowls and plates were originally used in as India everyday vessels. Made from Indian marble, which has a beautiful grainy detail to it.

2. A majorly comfy, easy care slouch cowl.

3. Groovy 70s style punch needle hoop wall art.

4. Hello Sunshine pennant flag to brighten up your day!

5. Vases so gorgeous you won’t even need flowers! And they can be used as candle sticks too. I love when things are multi functional.

6. Display hanging and trailing plants in your home with this cute ceramic crescent moon planter.

Cool Stockholm Family home with one eye catching kitchen!

It is not Tuesday but time for interiors. A very cool family home in Stockholm that comes with a true showstopper of a kitchen! Well worth to show you and after my little, not so little break, Thursdays are great days for interiors too. Any day is!

By the way, my two eldest are only going back to school next week and have to home school a bit this week. Aaaaah! They are doing fine but cannot wait to be back to school next week. The two youngest went back this morning and were delighted. How things have changed. This Christmas break was quite long, nearly three weeks, and especially in winter, it used to be a tricky return. Getting up early again in the dark. Cold mornings and dull again at pick-up time.
Today they were up on time, get dressed, and ready without a moan and we walked to school all relaxed.

And before I will pick them up I want to finish this article and let you into this lovely apartment. With the best eclectic kitchen ever:

This apartment is full of opportunities and so flexible to accommodate new visions, lay outs and change. A truly wonderful place for a family where all the comforts and space are in place.

The apartment has a lovely kitchen with a beautiful living room decorated by an extraordinary fireplace next to it. I really love to see this bold colour in a Scandinavian home. It is so unexpected!

Can we agree that the bed curtains are just the highlight of the room? The colour just does it. Imagine it with no curtains or a very subtle (boring) colour like eggshell the room would just not be the same. This amazing honey mustard is so eye catching!

Loving the masks on the walls too and who would not love to sleep in the cute nook?

Love a yellow shelf!

And, what do you think? Are you already searching for blue kitchens? Or new curtains? I do not blame you!

Happy New Year! Oh I am so happy to be back and so happy you are here with me. So patient! I know I have not written or shared anything for a quite a bit and I am so sorry.

A very colourful and cosy family cottage!

Welcome back and right into Interior Tuesday! And a very colourful and inspiring one for sure. I am taking you to the other side of the world, to Australia today.

This light filled, breezy home in Byron belongs to a creative family. It is full of colour but in its own way, starting every room on a white canvas with white walls and floors. This is how I love to do interiors as well. Because once you have a bright and crisp space, you can set accents and go for the details.

Now, let’s have a look and see how the family filled theirs and which ideas you would like to copy or take away today from this cosy cottage:

Custom shelving using the full height of the room and cabinetry that is functional as well as pretty. In the living and dining area they showcase colourful books and home ware that look like travel souvenirs to me.

Have you heard about PET lamps? They look awesome (see picture above) they are also really smart:

PET Lamp is a project that combines the reuse of plastic bottles with selected traditional weaving techniques found in different corners of the world in order to create unique handmade lampshades.

And then there are these stunning windows along the entire back wall of the living area. The result is amazing natural light all day long.
