Friday and time again for another round of Questions and Answers.

Hellena
You were wondering how our home looks. Our home has actually been featured in both Residence and Elle. It has also been seen in Svenska Dagbladet, which you can find online here:

If you buy next week’s edition of the magazine “S” you can also see it there. Which makes me realize it has been seen quite a lot, which probably means we should redecorate. The bedroom is not finished and I have huge plans for a massive collection of Chinese calligraphy brushes but there never seems time to go to Shanghai. There should never be an end to designing your home, it should be a lifes work.

It does sound like a fun project. Please keep an eye out on TV3’s homepage to see if, and when, we will be looking for new objects. There you will find all the details on how to apply for the show.

Amira
We are filming the current season right now, and all the homes have been chosen. But as I said to Lena, keep an eye out on the TV3 site for details on how to apply to the show.

Johan
It was fun to visit. Thank you for having us. I will have a look at the pictures. It was great to see so much colour on such a cold snowy day. I really felt for a hot martini, guess we will have to wait until next winter.

The way to create light in a dark room is to use good lighting, such as table lamps and floor lamps. I know it might seem obvious but I am amazed how many people think a 20w light bulb will give you all the light you need if the walls are white.  And contrary to popular belief, you can use colour even if the room is dark. The simple thing to try is add way more light than you think you need but put everything on dimmers, then you have 100% control.

The “gummigolv” was most likely purchased at Linoleumkompaniet.

The olive oil shop is called A L’Olivier and is located on Grev Turegatan 18 in Stockholm. Come by, it has some really wonderful oils, provencale, lemon and ginger, dried tomatoes, mint…..the list is endless.

The wallpaper was designed and manufactured specifically for the program. Now days there are many place that produce wallpaper from photos, artwork, etc. all in accordance to your wishes.

I think your children should share a room and you take the other one. Otherwise you may consider buying a bäddsoffa - that way it’s a couch by day and a bed at night. Or do as my mother did, send me off to international school.

So true, so true - the 60+ people of this world are remarkably smart, including my father.

I was rather fat but very söt. Thank You.
