Thank goodness for Ikea, making so much of what we consider great Swedish style, so accessible here in the states. However, I do tend to get overwhelmed once I actually step inside an Ikea, so, recently stumbling across this <a href="http://www.alvhemmakleri.se/en" target="_blank">interiors and real estate site from Sweden</a> was such a boon.  Browsing through all the lovely rooms here, I can easily see so many different options and ways in which to incorporate some Swedish influence into my own home.  And, if Ikea doesn't carry what I find, no doubt they will have something very similar.  Style from Sweden, as actually used by Swedes...authentic and inspiring.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8rlZHH7lmS8zgGHNJvuxAIxXV0h5nPhX7cV33lPzhdgXQOn0xPGRVkcSVu3SkDWRxlKn2YvKgDam08RRVgnC5Se73cJ6xIMN8kFm4hSAmgCHljP3H1ms-JycFAiAPLQ7rL2nrVYF-lUK/s1600/dsc_6725-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8rlZHH7lmS8zgGHNJvuxAIxXV0h5nPhX7cV33lPzhdgXQOn0xPGRVkcSVu3SkDWRxlKn2YvKgDam08RRVgnC5Se73cJ6xIMN8kFm4hSAmgCHljP3H1ms-JycFAiAPLQ7rL2nrVYF-lUK/s1600/dsc_6725-1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zBnA6i-33VGJ5CkRfFPu2x2UIKkAbnhjINjSKd4T1r26qQHFE0flcltqYAj8NJbIbOlFmC1onpkCSR02XaSgC4NsKLMnp52e1dyw4_9gvk7G58HCfFL0UwMjvu0_n9BUN1yrgrMd9Wxn/s1600/Picture+393.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zBnA6i-33VGJ5CkRfFPu2x2UIKkAbnhjINjSKd4T1r26qQHFE0flcltqYAj8NJbIbOlFmC1onpkCSR02XaSgC4NsKLMnp52e1dyw4_9gvk7G58HCfFL0UwMjvu0_n9BUN1yrgrMd9Wxn/s1600/Picture+393.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3uDgmIz8j-hbumzS7wYwn6aKVusBicGkXwMwzs_6llqEF_TtakoBz7hrv-N-ieZt8XCuTr0RSY3cFu-04-WdNK7dJCOSlFhjL4U5ehJY7CUDqeqTTzNlWGRxGdtGJ4NplwXG1lIOL-eh/s1600/208469_kastellg_10_high_0016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3uDgmIz8j-hbumzS7wYwn6aKVusBicGkXwMwzs_6llqEF_TtakoBz7hrv-N-ieZt8XCuTr0RSY3cFu-04-WdNK7dJCOSlFhjL4U5ehJY7CUDqeqTTzNlWGRxGdtGJ4NplwXG1lIOL-eh/s1600/208469_kastellg_10_high_0016.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIcwvctj6PwUh7kR4cOTzbRsQrEkr7QGbFuZsnbfRyEdtngaSH6G-L_1JxZaJQNn4vDSVr8BgH2d-JOstToTtlaDl5jPsYeqeUSZKcUwqBFp9nHxasjhWV_ncF7JmtrJ8Kq74t7g-RRjc/s1600/176980_chalmersg_19b_print_0016-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIcwvctj6PwUh7kR4cOTzbRsQrEkr7QGbFuZsnbfRyEdtngaSH6G-L_1JxZaJQNn4vDSVr8BgH2d-JOstToTtlaDl5jPsYeqeUSZKcUwqBFp9nHxasjhWV_ncF7JmtrJ8Kq74t7g-RRjc/s1600/176980_chalmersg_19b_print_0016-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>
