It was so much fun to see this consultation from two perspectives, first in the vlog from La Fleur with Anna and Philipp and now here with you Kristina back in Sweden, as you illustrate for us the process you go through to develop and more nuanced design.

[@frankvaden772]

You are hilarious telling the tsa experience (now that it is over)! We visited our daughter in Dallas, TX a few years ago and she gave me a bar of scented soap in a fancy wrapping for Mother's Day. That soap, aka, unidentified object, caused a search of my entire gym bag and a swab down for explosives. I was asked if I walked on grass while in Dallas. Finally, a supervisor deemed my soap and me not to be a threat. So, my sympathies...especially with your children!!!!

[@SwedishManorLife]

Haha that’s such a funny story! 😂 It usually ends up being funny on the flip side of it…but hardly when you’re smack in the middle of it! 😄

[@Sarah-h2x9q]

Thank you for another great vlog. I particularly liked the deeper dive into your design process. I find it so inspiring how you bring in colors from other rooms, mix them so that everything ties together, but not limit yourself to a small palette. Everything feels coherent and yet not repetitive. I'm so excited to see how your projects evolve and I hope to learn a lot from them!

[@SwedishManorLife]

Thank you! 😊 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the deeper look into the design process! Creating coherence without repetition is always a fun challenge, and it’s so rewarding to hear that it resonates with you. We can’t wait to share more as the projects unfold, and we hope you pick up lots of inspiration along the way!

[@MarianneKeating]

I love this collab. I understand Anna's desire to keep the design authentic to the original style, but they also live in this home and are part of the narrative. Allowing homes to be mausoleums of the past can be problematic, and it is also important to add their voices to the building as they are also part of its history and should also be included. I love Phil's desire for orange especially in the kitchen, bringing forward the colours in Anna's grandmother's beautiful painting. Phil is also an artist; film should not be seconded to the classical interpretation of art. Shake off the pressure of what is seen to be 'traditionally' accepted and embrace all aspects of a home, its people, and how the contemporary spaces interact. No one is perfect, and 'failure' is never 'failure' but a testing of ideas and concepts to bring all elements and personalities together. It can be hard to see the small changes that can make a massive difference when you are so immersed in the larger project. It is so refreshing to see an external person (Kristina and her talent) shine a light to allow spaces to grow and flourish to their full potential; a bit of distance always makes things easier and not a judgment on anyone, as I said mentioned a great collab bringing everyone strengths to the surface. Well done all! : )

[@SwedishManorLife]

Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! 😊 We couldn’t agree more-it’s so important for a home to reflect both its history and the people living in it today. Anna and Philipp’s desire to honor the château’s past while weaving in their own story is such a delicate and inspiring balance. And you’re absolutely right-embracing contemporary elements alongside the classical can create something truly unique and full of life. I loved collaborating with them and helping to bring fresh eyes to the space-it’s all about enhancing what’s already there and letting each voice shine. Thank you for recognizing the value of that process and for cheering us all on! ❤️✨

[@happywilliam1]

I loved the segment of design concept for Anna & Philipp! Made me think about height of objects in rooms.

[@SwedishManorLife]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🤗

[@sue7190]

Like your ideas for Anna and Phillip - it makes the room feel cosy and will feel more personal as they add the art and lamps etc. So agree about a rug anchoring the room and the importance of table lamps and tables where you can put a drink down. It makes a more relaxing space. My friend redesigned her kitchen to incorporate a sitting and dining space - beautiful and light but echoing😊 and not comfortable to sit in. I have been trying to encourage her to add a rug and curtains to soften the acoustics..

[@SwedishManorLife]

Glad you like it! 🤗 You’re on point with your suggestions for your friend about the fabrics to soften the acoustics - eventually she might give in to your suggestion. She’ll eventually be glad she listened to you ☺️

I think they were just doing their jobs. The vessel ceramic will always bring a story to share now and hopefully in time some retrospective chuckles. Kristina’s design suggestions for Anna and Philip are detailed and marvellous! You know your vocation well.

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed seeing the process! It’s far from a straight-line process of course, so you need to let go of control in order to make progress ☺️

[@TheNightOwls2]

Fantastic episode again this week guys! Your trip really did turn out to be an adventure, poor Kalle having his airport moment that ended with you all missing the flight home ( so many movie scenes flashed thru my mind as you were explaining how it all went down 😂) Although personally I do think that jug was worth it, it’s going to look amazing once Kristina styles it somewhere and now has a fascinating story attached! 😉 Kristina, I love watching you walk us thru the design process, as the way you explain each step simplifies the planning and breaks it down into smaller less intimidating steps. I can see Anna & Phillip really embracing their creative sides much easier and more confidently with your guidance and it’s going to be so much fun watching everything come together. Every week you guys bring more and more interesting content and it’s always unique and refreshing….thank you! 🫶

[@SwedishManorLife]

Thank you so much! 😊 We’re still laughing (and cringing a little) about our airport escapade-glad it gave you some cinematic vibes! 😂 And we agree, the jug was definitely worth it-it’ll have pride of place somewhere special with its new story attached. We're thrilled you enjoy the design walk-throughs-it’s such a fun process to share, and hearing that it helps make things feel less daunting means the world! We’re so excited to see Anna and Philipp’s space come to life-it’s going to be such a rewarding project. Your kind words and support truly keep us going. Thank you for joining us each week-it’s a joy having you along for the ride! 🫶✨

This was so wonderful to watch your process. I can’t wait to see the room completed. I’m wondering if you considered color drenching using the existing wall color on the bottom and the ceiling? I think it would look incredible.

Thank you! Color-drenching is of course always an option and that would probably make a grand statement in itself, but in this particular case and room, I believe in going the other direction :-)

Thank you Dani! That means the world to us! Really! We're so happy you found your way to our little corner of KZbin! Much love!

[@sth.777]

Great design ideas! One thing I would add for KZbinrs: Check that the frequency of a lightbulb works with your camera! Some lightbulbs are "nervous" - e.g. when you were in Anna's atelier (workroom), any time your camera caught her overhead light, the whole image began flickering /strobing... I've seen other KZbinrs go into lamp shops and film with their camera, watching their viewing screen to see which lights would be options.

[@SwedishManorLife]

You never know about light bulbs! It’s when the filming frame rate doesn’t match that of the particular bulb. Usually, it’s not a problem. Sometimes it is. Thing is you can’t change filming frame rate for just one bulb in a random room, and you can’t (usually) turn off the lights 😄 So, the occasional strobe effect makes its way into a video. Might be possible to mitigate in post production…🤔

[@sth.777]

@@SwedishManorLife It might be easier to change lightbulbs and try around until you find a calm one.😉 You can test it out in your own home for yourself, and see what happens.😊

[@SwedishManorLife]

@@sth.777 We don’t have any issues with our own bulbs. And it’s difficult to change someone else’s bulb in their home because of video flickering ☺️

Love your ideas for the living room, Krisitina, will be so fun to see it in progress! The pitcher saga takes me back to a trip to Paris. My daughter and I and I bought a unique round olive oil container from Oliviers & Co. on Ile St. Louis. Airport security was quite suspicious and unpacked the very carefully wrapped fragile ceramic vessel, we experienced the same situation as Karl, ended up having to repack the bag and figure out how to fit the container back into its box safely.

[@SwedishManorLife]

Sounds like you also went through a stressful moment! I guess they do their job well - and hats off to them for that - but it does cause a lot of stress on the receiving end! :-)

Ugh, sorry about your nightmare at the airport. I don't have an experience as bad as that, but last year, my husband and I went to Belgium and the Netherlands. I also love shopping for antiques, and I found some beautiful, old, thick, hand painted tiles ( among other cute finds). I got pulled aside for extra screening and testing because of the tiles. They were nice about it, but man, is that stressful! Beautiful ideas for Anna and Phil's house. It needs more character and decorating.

That’s some kind of story you’ve got to tell, too! 😄 It sure is stressful in the moment, especially when the plane is about to leave!

So enthusiastic about KZbinr's interaction. Really enjoyed watching your two family becoming friends. Your taste is exquisite; was wondering about the tables you suggested for under the window's that they don't open as often. The ones flanking the fireplace. How high are those tables? So exciting and happy to have the opportunity to be able to follow you. I've already looking forward to your vedios each week and thank you for them. Just adore you guy's! ❤

[@SwedishManorLife]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the journey with us! As for the tables, they’re designed to be just below the window line to keep things balanced and functional, especially for windows that don’t get opened often. Can't remember the height off the top of my head. Thank you for watching and for your sweet message!

Definitely e topictures, prints etc. would add so much warmth to their room. Love the fudge colour and rug….love the idea of the 7 steps, it helps to coordinate everything in the room. l am sitting in a small living room and have just realised a set of tables would be great. My friend always buys two tables the same and places them together, piling books, trays etc..on the top. Can’t wait to see what they come up with. 😀🪴🌳

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, and that we could spark some ideas!

I wonder if the fact that Anna and Phillip are showcasing their renovations online, is actually holding them back. Also, finishing the jobs that they’ve already started, would clear their heads, and give them chance for some creative freedom.

[@SwedishManorLife]

Sharing renovations online can definitely add an extra layer of complexity-it’s a balance between creating and documenting. But it’s also such a great way to connect with others and draw inspiration. Finishing projects does bring clarity, though, and we’re sure Anna and Philipp will tackle things in their own creative way. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊

[@margaretf6147]

I’m inspired!❤❤❤❤love your ideas!

[@SwedishManorLife]

Yay! Glad to hear it! ❤️🤗

Adore the thought process and the colours are fabulous! So sorry you had a nightmare time at customs and missed your flight. Hope you can look at the effing pot with love now🤣🤣🤣😳😳😳 is it next Sunday yet???

[@SwedishManorLife]

Haha we look at that effing pot everyday now and laugh 😂 I’m afraid it’s not next Sunday just yet - haha - but luckily there’s Patreon to fill some of the gap! 😉

[@susangladstone357]

[@SwedishManorLife]

The beige Ceramic Bowl is for Xmascakebaking😊

👍🏻

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Love the toffee colour , I think a coffee table that’s oval or round would look pleasing so not everything has straight lines , there are no straight lines in nature . Lighting is paramount ❤. Great video ps Philip is good with lights with his funk up light the large tree in pot , creates great shadows , love the moss green idea below dado and muted off white beige ceiling .

[@SwedishManorLife]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

[@SwedishManorLife]

We agree! They’re inspiring!

[@JPayne-ul4qd]

Bienvenue to Frances endless bureaucracy. I would have had some choice colorful words as well. It would have landed me in very hot water. Excellent vlog. Kristina you are worth your weight in gold. Here's to a lifetime friendship 🍾🥂 between the two families and countries!
