Good Morning! As promised last week I will share more interiors. Family interiors to be precise. And the best inspiration really comes from the Scandinavian places. Between the light and their natural good taste it is really my cup of tea.
Today we have tiled ovens, fireplaces and apple trees. And a very funny address – this house is sitting on Lustigkullagatan in Västerås in the province Västmanland. Around 100 kilometers west of Stockholm to give you a better idea.
Here you can get big patios, eat your own eggs or black currants and definitely enjoy space, freedom and the wilderness.
The mix of Vintage, an old farmhouse and some Scandinavian Design classics is really charming and makes for a cosy home.

But my favorite is this cute little spot for little daydreamers. Kids must love this. The best hide away, book nook or nap corner.
The vintage kids beds are such treasures.
Could you imagine living here? Or maybe as a summer house? It is not far from Stockholm and Uppsala and you have a beautiful lake just outside…
Only 10 more days and our little Joséphine will turn two. Birthday preparations are in full swing {Leonor will turn 5 just a week later so we are having a very cheerful month here in the Paul & Paula house} and one gift arrived a little early and was already very well received.
The lovely people behind Stadtlandkind were so sweet to send Joséphine her first bike! A beautiful red pedal-less two wheeler from Banwood for the cheeky lady. With a matching helmet for safety and the perfect look.
Banwood is a family-owned Berlin-based company specializing in bicycles for children up to age 5. Their core values are safety, high quality and timeless design.
Since daddy assembled it {you probably witnessed it in my Insta-Stories} Joséphine is looking after her cute bike like a star. Making sure it is on the right spot and remembering everyone that is ‘mina” {hers}. She is very proud to bring her own means of transport to the park now…
And with the cool retro look we {parents} love it too!

This ‘First Go’ Balance Bike is safe, durable and it supports your child’s development by taking advantage of the child’s own abilities to move forward by using his/her own balance and body.
It is designed with a classic child-friendly frame and height-adjustable saddle and handlebars for easy individual customization. The front wicker basket {love it!!!} is included and a good spot to bring essential items like a water bottle or to keep all the stones and sticks you collect during your outing.
Some facts:
* Steel frame
* Minimal seat height 40cm
* Maximum seat height 50 cm
* Adjustable leather handlebar from 50 to 59 cm
* Ergonomic and comfortable seat
* Wicker basket & bell
* 12″ wheels
* Weight: 4.5 Kg
And: Buy one. Plant one.
You buy a bike and Banwood will give a donation to OneTreePlanted, on your behalf. The organization will then use their expertise to decide the best possible location for the tree you have just bought and make sure it grows.
For every single tree we plant, we can make a difference by lowering the carbon dioxide levels from the planet’s atmosphere. This in turn slows the Greenhouse Effect, and also provides us with enough fresh air to breathe.
Perfect bike for little people with a good cause and look. What is not to like?
Good Morning! How was your week end? After a very grey week we had a beautiful Sunday and enjoyed it with some yummy treats in the park. It was definitely a very welcome boost for a new busy week…
Which we will start in Powder Pink.
It is really one of those shades that are very pretty, super versatile and absolutely acceptable when it comes to pink in general.
And after House of Jamie made it their color of the new season I had a look what more we can find in Powder Pink:
The creative team of the Djeco brand has launched a new line: Lovely Paper. And we were so lucky to be able to test and try some of those products here at home.
I have a very soft spot for anything paper. Books, magazines, postcards and of course craft supplies. This is perfect. Djeco is a brand that I always check when I need a gift, adding the Paper Collection is such a great extension because finding gifts for teens is not always easy but they {usually} all love crafting.
Everything is beautifully illustrated – of course- and the new collection includes notebooks, gums, pencil cases, masking tape, diaries, pens and colored pencils and also these cool glossy stickers that I still know from my own childhood. The ones we collected, got albums and carefully sticked them in those. And then showed them to our friends. Do you remember these?
This beautiful Djeco stationery range makes every kid’s heart beat faster.
There are also glitter and metallic markers, secret notebooks and mini stamps sets.

And those beautiful flowers that Leonor loved to put together. The set includes everything to create these Origami beauties and make a really lovely decoration for parties or in the kids room.
As you see there is truly something for everyone and a good craft session, on a Sunday morning for example, is always a winner here.
We also got this really cool Silk Scarf set in the Peacock Design.
It contains a silk scarf that you tightly pin to the box to make a taut canvas. Then you paint the design with the silk paint. The paint will stay nicely in the ‘designated areas’ – it is made like this. Step-by-step, the scarf will be an absolute beauty.
Romy loved to do this!
This shop has a good selection of the Lovely paper collection!
Happy week end everyone, maybe with some crafty moments. Seeing the weather we have here now it is time…
