One of our favorite blogs is KItka by Juli and John, the owners of Mjolk, a Toronto store showcasing a range of Scandinavian and Japanese design. The couple has integrated pieces from their shop throughout their own home; we especially like their bedroom (“Our vision was for it to be comfortable, clean, and—above all else—simple,” they say).
Above: The reindeer hide on the white painted floors used to be on the shop floor but made its way to the bedroom.
Above: The couple’s Koster Bed is from Carpe Diem Sweden (the gingham pillows are by Hastens from Sweden): “We are shocked at how different this bed is from all previous experiences,” they say.” We love its simplicity (no need to buy a frame and headboard) and the fact that Carpe Diem uses only natural materials (it has the Swan Eco-Label Certification).”
Above: In lieu of a bedside table, the couple opted for the Libri Shelf.
Above: A dress displayed on the Krummi Bird Clothes Hanger.
Above: The Artek Stool 60 is upholstered in Marimekko’s Varvunraita fabric. The birch-bark bag is designed by Finnish designer Harri Koskinen exclusively for the Café Alvar A. at the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, which sells a selection of Finnish products.
