Görvälnsslott Castle, Photoshoots & Interiors of Loveliness

I have been waiting eons to get my new bedding samples but finally they arrived and I was so happy with them. The fabric is so soft and lovely. The next step was to get them photographed so I can use the pictures on the inlay card that will go in the packaging, so I set up a photoshoot. I took the pics in my favourite  shoot location Görvälnsslott just outside Stockholm. It's a fabulous old stately home set in lush grounds over looking a lake. Nature has done an excellent job on the outside and the team at Görvälns have done an excellent job on the inside as well! Ok, I'm a bit biased as they have lots of my cushions in there and I even helped design one of the suites. That said, it is still my favourite combo of elegant modern luxury with old world antique weirdness.

This is in their Pink Salon and was the front cover of my catalogue a year or so ago...

They use a lot of interesting colour combos and this is my favourite, pink and green!

Every room has amazing bits of furniture in...

 But nothing is as amazing as the bed in room 5!

This is me doing a bit of cushion wrangling. It seems I spend a great deal of time stuffing soft things into floppy things... why does that sentence make me feel uncomfortable? Hmmm, not sure, best leave it....

Ive also done lots of shoots in room 31 but the most fun was with Tea Thyme for one of my catalogues..

And in the Yellow salon...

I was back in room 31 to shoot my new Shrine bedding too...

With such a huge choice of gorgeous rooms and fabulous furniture to play with...the possibilities are endless!

 This is a bit of the room I helped with featuring 2 of my handmade cushions...

Anyway, whilst you are trying to sleep in over the weekend, ignoring the dog, children, neighbours, or whatever other thing that might irritate you, spare a thought for the idea of a night away in this delightful place. It might be exactly what you need!

And whether you're at the end of your tether and need a nice romantic night away, or happily looking forward to a weekend of uninterrupted bliss at home, I wish you all joy, oodles of fun and a good sleep ...
