When Lorena Siminovich and Esteban Kerner discovered this crumbly mid-century home on craigslist, it hadn’t been updated since 1955. Recognizing its potential they got to work simplifying the maze-like circulation, and opening up the floor plan. The “guerrilla-style” renovation took only three months (when the couple bought the house they were already halfway through a pregnancy!) and I think the result is fantastic.

I love the way the space is used in this tiny 230 sq.tf Stockholm apartment. The large window bays, lofted sleeping area, and high ceilings really help this apartment feel larger than it is. Even though it isn’t practical for our family, I have always appreciated the thought behind the space saving design of Ikea’s Fusion Table, and this is the perfect space for it. I have tested that table before, and once you get over the initial weirdness of sitting at the corners, it is actually very functional (if nothing else it will train you to keep your elbows off the table).

You may remember Norrgavel from an earlier post with images shot onsite at a farm in Jämtland for their country catalogue. I really appreciate their craftsmanship as well as their ideals as a company. Well this morning they were kind enough to inform me they had posted more beautiful pictures, taken for their city themed catalogue. Thanks guys! If you would like to learn more about Norrgavel, their values, or just want to browse their beautiful work, visit their website. More images after the jump. Enjoy!

LOVE this solution for indoor gardening by Mut Design! The unique structure is modular and reversible, and can accommodate ceramic pots, lamps, and small galvanized steel table tops in three different directions at varying heights. Talk about possibilities! I think the single structures look great on their own, but are even more fantastic when combining to form a garden wall.

Located just outside of Rydboholm, Sweden this fifty year old home provided the perfect blank canvas for a vintage crazy Interior Designer (Johanna Flyckt) and her family. Most of the decor and furnishings were found at second hand sources, or custom built by her husband. There are some pretty creative storage ideas going on here, my favorite being the newspaper clips on the wall behind the table. I wonder how warm those metal chairs get when there is a fire going.

Designer Hanne Dalsgaard and family moved in to this row house in Holte with intentions to stay only a few years. After 20 years, and a lot of renovations, they are still there with no plans to leave.
