Space Monkey: Cabin Escape

February has almost gone by in what seems like a blur and before you know it spring will be here. Can we rewind for a bit and hole up in a woodsy abode somewhere in the forest? Maybe settle into a cloud of quilts with a stack of good reads and no clock to be found?

Breathing Space

The air was clear and the sun so vibrant today that it seemed to call on Angelenos to be happy. What a splendid start to the weekend! It makes me want to spend a restful few days in simple surroundings so as to escape from the usual bustle. Maybe you should too? Inspiration for you to stop and breathe from Skona Hem.

Savvy Sverige

Ahh, Sweden. It absolutely knows what is good about life: design, coffee and potatoes. It also knows to keep design magazines in operation (rather than, say, Golf Digest, Condé Nast, but I won't go there) and lucky for us, Sköna Hem, an interior design glossy with delicious pictures and ideas is available online. While you may not be able to understand the language, the eye for color, impeccable taste and use of textures by featured Swedes translates beautifully. With a move to new digs soon, I found a few rooms for inspiration. Check out the pop of color in these abodes:
