It's Friday - and have I got a home tour to celebrate! I received these images from the homeowner, photographer Petra Reger and her husband Eddie earlier on in the week and it's taken all the restraint I have to reserve if for today! Located in Bavaria, Germany, the converted factory has been beautifully restored over the space of a year to become the stunning family home it is today (you may recognise the style from their former home).  The family were keen to leave as much intact as possible, adding fabulous black framed windows to divide the open plan space and a polished concrete floor in the lightest shade to allow light to flood through the space. The original wood floorboards (which needed to be removed for safety reasons) have been used to create tables and shelves which sit alongside a fabulous blend of vintage rustic and industrial finds as well as classic design pieces. Let's take a tour...

Wow, what a home?! Just amazing!

I spy: a pair of DCW chairs, vintage black scissor wall lamp, source a vintage globe here. Zettel z 6 pendant light, Icelandic sheepskin throw, knoll diamond chair, all these vintage typewriters are fabulous. Gervasoni sofa (this is Petra's favourite piece as it fits the entire family for movie nights).

You can find out more about Wertvoll Fotografie's projects over on their homepage, Facebook and Instagram.

It would be rude not to use this as an opportunity to drool over some of the other home conversions I've featured in the passed including converted schools, warehouses, barns and vicarages. And of course there was that Dutch home in an old tannery we all fought over earlier on in the week until Nina wisely suggested there was plenty of room for all of us (now, just to convince the owners)?!

A few other fabulous links for the weekend:

Fluffy pancakes is the only breakfast to be enjoyed on a Saturday and this recipe looks perfect!

Love these black kitchen cabinets and the green bedroom wall.

MSH's most pinned picture of the week goes to this outdoor space and the most popular instagram - this lovely kitchen (that blue...).

I absolutely love a make-over, and this one nearly reduced me to tears!

Thank you to Leander and Palm for featuring my book!

I'll be back tomorrow with a very exciting give-away so don't forget to stop by and take part! Have a lovely day!

Iiiiit's Friday - yaaaay! It's been a very relaxed-bohomian week here on My Scandinavian Home with so many exciting homes full of personality - I hope you've felt inspired? To round up the feel of the week I thought we'd head to Melbourne, Australia and the home of artist Saskia Folk in a converted factory. Think industrial with a relaxed vibe and the odd splash of colour. The perfect home to complete the week!









Photographer: Derek Swalwell shared with kind permission. Stylist: Heather Nette King , found via House of C with thanks.

How I'd love to have a home in a converted factory like this - high ceilings, exposed bricks painted white, graciously worn wood floor, industrial pendant lights...that freestanding bath?!

Get the look: similar vintage industrial-style pendant lights here,  Source beautiful Boucherouite rugs here.

Also love these factory conversion homes here, here and here.

If you feel like dropping it all and moving to the Swedish countryside - this stunning mansion has just come on the market - oh the things you could do?! Or perhaps go one step further like this young Norwegian guy who quit his job to go hiking across Norway with his husky - beautifully captured here on Instagram.

Back tomorrow with a very exciting give-away set to brighten up your weekend (there's a clue in there...).  Oooo, what could it be?!

Hope you have a wonderful Friday! See you tomorrow...

PS I've had a few questions about the beautiful colours in yesterday's home and have since updated the post with some paint colours which are a good match.

It's the weekend - woooop! But before we hit the Friday night bars and restaurants (or take-away and telly?!) - I wanted to squeeze in one more wonderful home tour. 'Projekti Verkaranta' - or for the non speaking Finnish out there - 'Project Verkaranta' documents the transformation of an old factory into a wonderful family home. Jutta K, an upcoming designer, and self-professed lover of details, simple design and passionate 'do-it-yourselfer' has created a family home packed with DIY ideas (the daybed! the rail!), fabulous monochrome spaces (that kitchen) and cosy quarters. Let's take a tour...

What an incredible space! I do love old industrial buildings - they always have the most wonderful natural light. And that kitchen is perfection, don't you think? I also spy a Saana ja Olli cushion (one of my favourite Finnish designs!).

Is there anything that stands out to you about this home?

More fabulous factory conversions here (scroll passed this one). And twenty-seven Finnish home tours to be discovered here (as before...).

Are you up to anything fun this weekend? I'm tempted to go out mushroom picking in the forest again in order to make these oh so yummy slices of home comfort! Perfect autumn nosh. That and celebrating the news that My Scandinavian Home has been shortlisted for 'Best European Interiors Blog' in the Amara Interior Blog Awards!- Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me (and to homeware brand Amara) - you're wonderful!! I'm thrilled!

Have a great start to the weekend!

PS Back tomorrow with a few pictures of a new addition in my home...
