The next chapter starts now. After more than five years as a designer for &Otherstories, I am now saying goodbye to all my assignments.

I’m so excited about where this new year will take me. New challenges, of which I don’t really know yet what will become of them.

But feel so strongly that 2026 is the year of change. Someone to be with me! Apparently it took three black and white photos of myself to make me say that… breaking news.

I heard somewhere that Stockholm only had 30 minutes of direct sunlight in December. How sick is that. A glimpse of this light captured in a photo. Thanx God Im VIP shopping bag. A designer vintage store in Paris that sold these for some reason. I like the combination of stripes and colors.

The sequel follows the current winter style. Also love the “babuschka” scarf style, both knit and woven materials. Instead of the hat. Do you have hajj?

Wet and snow-free view from Östermalmstorg. Still have a bit of a Christmas feeling.

Less cute but oh so beautiful. At Dusty Deco in their newly opened flagship store, at Storgatan 1.

We highlight their exciting collaboration with fashion designer Matthew Williamson. This is now being saddled with more interior design.

For example, Matthew has developed this playful patterned textile together with Dusty deco, as well as wonderfully fluffy carpets. Wouldn’t say no. Everything for an original style.

It was a nice atmosphere too, with some live music while you sat. I sat next to Matthew on the opposite couch. Had a strong urge to force some selfies on him but rejected the idea. Maybe just as well. It could have been awkward. Who wants to risk something like that.

Thank you Dusty for a wonderful lunch with you. And congratulations to both of you for this incredibly inspiring collaboration.

An ending. My wife. I said to Matthew there in the party, “You have to meet my partner, Beatrice.” Realized in the same sentence that he probably thought we were a romantic couple! More than just friends and colleagues, as I wanted to say. But he liked the idea, so let him believe. It’s not sad to get carried away in your heterosexual life.

Me and the woman. We have our own Dusty deco llama!! Not a bad gift, right? Will then show which model it was. What chaos at home. Gotta find a place.
The next chapter starts now. I feel so strongly that 2026 is the year of change. Are you with me!

From one to the other. The bedroom. Can you bear to hear? And the answer is: yes, we have been renovating here for probably three years now. Be quiet, say no more.

To the color choice. Ordered these super smooth sticky notes from Klint at home. Possibly the smartest thing I’ve seen in all of 2025. Well, I can’t really think of a better invention.

The idea is that we should have yellow walls and a brown roof. I’m thinking pretty much peeing and pooping. What do you think?

Finally landed on this yellow shade, Savannah from Klint’s beautiful collection. See how perfectly the yellow shade blends into the carpet. The carpet is on order. Actually ordered, I’m not going to lie now.

At ground level. Above I would also like to repaint. Which color do you think could be chosen here? Some suggestions.

Tea party and future plans. Dreams and fantasies. Wants to believe that anything is possible. And that everything will be fine. 2026 let’s do this!!
