OMG, OMG, OMG. Why don’t I read emmas designblogg more often? With so many fantastic sites out there, some good ones are bound to get overlooked from time to time. I’m still kicking myself though, because if I had been paying attention to Emma’s musings I would have found this amazing kitchen two whole weeks ago.

From a home in the small Swedish town of Eskilstuna, this place has that industrial, slightly retro vibe that seems so typical of Swedish interiors (if we’re going by what the design mags tell us, anyway). The tile, wood-framed cabinets, stainless appliances and big wooden table are so tightly designed that the effect borders on austere. But those chairs! The bright green colour and fun shape add a playful edge that makes the room what it is.

I adore the tiled walls, too- so clean-looking! If this was my room I might have been tempted to leave the back one plain for some killer art, which I always love in a kitchen. Still, if someone feels like buying me this home (it’s up for sale-see the rest of the house here), I won’t complain.
