And for the less lucky ones - take a look at this week's giveaway: Jocasta Innes book Country Kitchens.
Denna vecka tävlar du om ett ex av boken SWEDISH STYLE - creating the look, av författaren Katrin Cargill. Boken är skriven på engelska, omfattar 144 sidor och är illustrerad med 200 underbara foton av Christopher Drake. Läs en intervju med författaren här. Så här beskrevs boken, när den utkom för 15 år sedan: About the book: A lively informative text accompanied by more than 200 full-color photos gives readers a tour of the most important and integral aspects of Swedish interior design. Cargill provides practical information and step-by-step instructions in four areas - color schemes and paint effects, furniture, textiles, and accessories. With its emphasis on light-infused interiors and fresh painted surfaces, Swedish interior design is easy to live with, traditional and yet contemporary in its appeal. Katrin Cargill distils the chief characteristics of a look that embraces the cool colours and modest proportions of Gustavian interiors and the unpretentious charm of country nostalgia. Five practical chapters - The Essence of Swedish Style, Colour and Paint, Furniture, Fabric and Accessories - show how you can adapt and recreate this style in your own home. The photographs feature rooms where the look has been successfully recreated and some of the period houses that provide the inspiration.
Boken är inköpt på antikvariat och lottas ut med anledningen av att jag på tisdag, den 15 november, har bloggat i 2,5 år! Visserligen med olika bloggadresser, men ändå... Nu finns jag här, och det skall vi fira!
