Hem was here

Or should I say Hem is here. Hem means home and for me home means my playground and also a place to rest and spend time with my loved ones. Last week I had an opportunity to play and style Hem´s lovely furniture here at home as I was honored to be part one of #hemcreatives chapters. 

For me Hem was already a brand that I knew from earlier as we have some of their products. I love the timeless and minimalistic style in their designs. That grey Alle coffee table is just so beautiful and My parents fell in love with that grey Palo sofa, so it will be moving to their place really soon. It also makes a perfect extra bed  for sleep over quests.  

Hem is partner with the world's most exciting designers to create a new generation of original furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories. Hem´s products are developed in their Helsinki workshop. This is where they obsess over materials and finishes to create products you’ll want to hold on to for a very long time. 

I am now very happy to announce that now my readers have a great opportunity to have  -15% off from all Hem´s products by using this link: www.hem.com/weekdaycarnival  until July 19th. 


So how do you feel, what is your favorite piece from Hem?


Hem on Instagram.    #Hemcreatives   Weekdaycarnival on Instagram


Sain tehdä ihanan yhteistyön ja olla osana #Hemcreatives kampanjaa. Stailasin Hem liikkeelle kuvia käyttäen heidän huonekalujaan. Hem oli minulle jo ennestään tuttu sillä pidän heidän ajattomasta ja minimalistisesta tyylistään. Meillä on täällä kotona jo entuudestaan yksi heidän sivupöytä ja hylly ja ne ovat palvelleet erinomaisesti. Jos meillä olisikin sohvan hankita edessä olisi tuo heidän Palo sohva vahvasti listoilla. Nyt kuitenkin kävi niin, että vanhempani ihastuivat sohvaan ja he päättivät ostaa samanlaisen kotiinsa. Se onkin todella mukava istua ja kun nuo käsinojat nostaa pois, saa siitä  passelin varavuoteen. Sohvapöytä taas ihastutti kauniin harmaalla sävyllään ja TURO vaasin matta pinta on todella kaunis ja korkeutensa ansiosta se on todella näyttävä ilman kukkiakin. 

Nyt ilokseni ilmoitankin että lukijoillani on mahdollisuus -15% alennukseen kaikista ostamistaan Hem tuotteista 19.7 asti kunhan vain menet sivuille käyttäen tätä linkkiä www.hem.com/weekdaycarnival

DOMO Design



I had a lovely opportunity to style some pictures for DOMO design. It is a young company of these two talented woman Johanna Haglund and Mathilda Karlsson. They design and manufacture stylish and modern design furnitures made of powerful and everlasting steel. 

All their products are handmade in Småland, Sweden. The fact that Johanna and Mathilda were born and raised there, adds that extra twist and love to their collection. Domo design actually have a whole factory behind their products. It's Johannas father who owns the factory where their furnitures is produced and Johanna also works there. It's a family company and they have worked with steel for a very long time.  Mathilda instead works as an interior stylist and you can find more about her from her instagram account @elsasrum.

This lovely sideboard is available in black, white and grey. It's 100 cm x 30 cm x 85 cm. You can order it from Domo design´s homepage  and it's also available at some well selected retailers. The combination of the authentic material and the carefully produced handicraft, creates a modern and dynamic contrast, that feels both modern yet sophisticated. 

If you are more Instagram user you can follow Domo designs IG account too @domo_design You can find lots of inspiration from there. 

Slow morning







Slow mornings, when you wake up early and you feel well rested, are the best. This morning was like that. So I did some new aquarelles, drank coffee and even managed to make a nice breakfast for my kids. Have a lovely week and enjoy your slow mornings!

PAPU stories

My friends company Papu is taking huge steps. Papu is a young and fast growing children´s wear and lifestyle brand. They are participating an online crowdfunding program where anybody can buy their shares and be a part of the growth story.  Papu needs to strengthen the company’s ability to keep up the excellent growth number they have now. This means hiring a new international sales expert and a creative marketing wizard to their team. Also, Papu needs bigger stock to ensure the fast reaction times when signing in new international retailers.  So now we all have opportunity to take part to their success, I really hope they will make it!
