A few sundays ago my family and I took a day trip out to a wonderful part of Sydney called The Blue Mountains. It's one of my favourite places to visit, especially during winter. The air is so crisp and the autumn colours still present on the foliage is beautiful. It's a very old part of Sydney about a 3 hour drive inland from the coast. It has so much character with it's quaint cottages and shops and lets not forget the breathtaking expansive mountains and parklands.
While visiting one of the most exquisite shops - Maison Montage - in a little town called Leura I was lucky enough to finally grab a copy of this enchanting book - Swedish Interiors.
I know most of you probably already own this heavenly gem but I wanted to post a few of my favourite inspirational images from it's glossy pages.

my sincerest apologies for my dodgy scanning.
This room is usually a little more contemporary for my taste but can you imagine the wonderful parties one could host in a setting like this? An abundance of candles and mood lighting, complementary music, dancing and comfortable conversation surrounding that crackling fire.....It's a little bit awesome don't you think? :)
I've also made some new Swedish blogging friends I'm excited about...
^^ I am sooooooo in love with this room! *sigh*

Swedish Interiors is on of my favorite books, I love the images you've shown here! Off now to visit these pretty blogs!
Thanks Anna for another wonderful, inspiring post.
I've just posted a photo on my blog of a Swedish Bench which needs a makeover, your photos have been very inspirational!
The blue mountians are beautiful and the lovely towns!
I don't have 'Swedish Interiors' it looks excellent.
Lovely post.
That's one of my favourite shops too and I bought a book I had been looking for there a few years ago. Fabulous images. I'll add that book to my list of Must Haves.
What a lovely blog you got!
I'm so glad to see that our little country and our simple "interiour style" is loved even on the other side of the world!

Hi Anna, you should have dropped in!!
I love that shop too, and a couple of months ago, I purchased a few books, but didnt see that one, its gorgeous!
Hope you had a great time in the mountains, it is so beautiful at this time of the year, well anytime! I take it for granted sometimes, only sometimes!

So many gorgeous images...such a treat! I would love a garden house just like the 5th picture. Ax
I'm mad about the book..off to Amazon I go!!!
I also have a bounty of Scandnavian blogs I love. It inspired a recent imaginary white retreat I hosted & posted. I just wish they'd all have a translator.
Very nice blog :)
