CAN A BRASS TRAY AND A STEAMER ACTUALLY SAVE YOUR SANITY? 🧐✨

Have you ever spent an entire year searching for one specific object, only to find it hiding in plain sight during a chaotic shopping trip? Today, I’m taking you on an epic quest through the retail heart of Stockholm with my dear friend Ulf. We are on a mission to finish what we started—the great curtain transformation. But as any creator knows, a trip to the store is never just about one item. It’s about the hunt, the accidental finds, and the sheer joy of reorganizing your world. From the sprawling aisles of IKEA to the hidden gems of Granit in Hornstull, this is a deep dive into the art of making a house a home. It’s stressful, it’s hilarious, and it’s deeply satisfying. I promise you’ll find the inspiration you need to tackle those unfinished projects in your own space, all while feeling the warmth of a true friendship that can survive even a five-hour furniture haul. 🛋️🇸🇪

In this vlog, we navigate the legendary traffic of Skärholmen and Kungens Kurva to secure the essentials. I’m finally expanding my IVAR shelving system—the ultimate modular dream for anyone obsessed with organization. Watch as we hunt down a brass tray that Ulf has been dreaming about for twelve months. It’s a lesson in persistence and the high-low mix of Swedish design. We take a break from the consumerism to refuel at Aleppo Kebab with some of the best vegan falafel in the city, because even the most stylish shoppers need a spice-filled reset. We even pop into Rusta to see if we can find the perfect carpet, only to realize that Ulf’s earlier IKEA acquisitions were already the perfect fit for his hallway. It’s a day of realization, laughter, and high-speed decorating. 🥙🎨

The climax of our day involves the ultimate tool for the modern home: the steamer. There is nothing more tragic than a beautiful curtain hanging with wrinkles, and we’re showing you exactly how to fix that aesthetic nightmare. You’ll see the immediate transformation of Ulf’s hallway with his new rugs and the installation of a sleek metal bathroom shelf from Granit. But it wouldn’t be a real day with us without a bit of philosophical reflection. While Ulf was occupied in the bathroom, I discovered the fascinating history of Saint Bonaventure—the patron saint of bowel movements. Who knew that theology and home improvement could go hand in hand? 💨🚿

Finally, I’m heading back to my own apartment to put those new IVAR shelves to work. There is something so therapeutic about the sound of wood sliding into place and the visual order of a new shelving unit. Whether you are an IKEA enthusiast, a lover of Stockholm’s vibrant neighborhoods, or someone who appreciates the quirks of Catholic hagiography, this video is a celebration of the small details that make life beautiful. We’re talking about the textures of the rugs, the gleam of the brass, and the importance of having a friend who will drive you across the city just to find the right hardware. 🚗📦

If you’ve ever felt the rush of finding that "missing piece" for your room or the frustration of a wrinkled curtain, this journey is for you. Join us as we laugh our way through the design centers of Sweden and find beauty in the most unexpected places. It’s about more than just stuff; it’s about the energy we put into our environments and the people we share them with. 🏙️💖

IKEA, LARS TUNBJÖRK, AND WHY I UTTERLY HATED THE SHOW 📸🚫🇸🇪

CAN A TRIP TO IKEA AND A PHOTO EXHIBIT SAVE A TERRIBLE DAY? 🛍️📸

Have you ever felt that strange, electric pull between the absolute boredom of chores and the sudden spark of high art? Today, I’m taking you on a journey through a day that started at the editing desk and ended in the soul of Sweden. This isn't just a vlog; it's an invitation to see the world differently. I’m sharing my private moments of frustration with a show I utterly loathed, balanced against the profound genius of a photography legend. We all struggle to find meaning in the daily grind, but sometimes, a vegan brownie and a friend can make the world spin on its axis again. This is about finding the "chic" in the chaos and the "art" in the grocery store. Join me for a day of raw honesty, bright colors, and the best vegan fika in Stockholm. ☕✨

In this longform video, we dive into the creative process of a content creator. I start by showing you my morning routine—editing and uploading to Instagram and YouTube. It’s the digital craftsmanship that keeps me connected to all of you. But then, the real world calls! I head to IKEA for some essential lifestyle upgrades. We’re talking fridge organization containers and a little holiday magic for my friend Cicki Lindholm. Who knew a plastic bin could be so satisfying? 🏠📦

The highlight of the day is our visit to Kulturhuset to see Lars Tunbjörk’s "Landet utom sig." This exhibition is a masterpiece of social commentary. Tunbjörk had a unique, almost supernatural ability to capture the surreal, mundane, and absurdly colorful reality of Swedish life. From the fluorescent lights of a supermarket to the desolate beauty of a parking lot, his sharp eye for composition and saturated colors creates a portrait of a welfare state in transition. It is an essential, eye-opening experience that every art lover needs to see. 📸🇸🇪✨

We wrap up the day at the vegan hotspot Kafe Plattan. I’m diving into a vegan wrap and coffee while catching up with Cicki. Watch her reaction as she opens her Christmas presents and scores a freshly made vegan semla—the ultimate Swedish winter treat! I opted for a rich, dark brownie because sometimes, you just can't wait. We also get into a very honest, very unfiltered discussion about the theater show I recently saw. Spoiler alert: I hated it. Find out why I think it was a complete waste of spirit and style. 🎭🚫🍫

Art and life are inseparable, even when the art is a photo of a parking lot and the life is a trip to buy storage boxes. I want to hear your thoughts: can an artist truly capture the "soul" of a country through everyday objects? Or is beauty always something more grand? Let's discuss the magic of the mundane in the comments below.

WE WENT TO IKEA FOR NOTHING… AND BOUGHT EVERYTHING 🍾🛍️👠

Do you really need anything from IKEA—or are you just craving drama in fluorescent lighting?

Welcome to a deliciously chaotic day in my life: when the weather turned grey, my plans turned golden. In this episode, I surprise my dear friend Magnus with a castle-worthy birthday plan 👑, and along the way, Ulf and I fall into a rabbit hole of shopping, organizing, and eating like emperors (vegan ones, of course).

We begin at Kungens Kurva, where I stock up on birthday wine 🍷—because surprises are better with bubbles. Then onto IKEA, where I find a wine rack to house my growing champagne empire 🥂, and a new shoe shelf because I refuse to be a fashion minimalist. Despite July heat, IKEA insists on autumn 🍁… no one asked, but we accepted.

Of course, no grand day is complete without falafel—and Matvärlden delivers. I feast, then forage through aisles of international flavors 🌶️🥫🫒. Back home, I dive into DIY assembly (yes, me with tools, it’s historic), and transform my hallway with fizzy flair.

🎬 Another day, another upload!

🎬 Another day, another upload! I kick off the morning editing yesterday’s IG stories into one full video for all my social platforms—cut, trim, boom 💥. Then it’s off to the computer to upload, write the caption ✍️, and, of course, post the **oldest photo on my iPhone** 📸 before I erase it forever. Nostalgia meets routine! 💾✨

Today I’m off to help Ulf put up some hooks 🪛 in his bedroom before an IKEA run 🛒. But first—lunch! Vegan schnitzel, potatoes 🥔, green peas, beetroot salad 🟣 and my homemade pizza salad 🥬—because later we’re having 🍕 at Ulf’s while watching *The Residence* on Netflix 📺👑🕵️‍♀️. And yes, it’s Shondaland drama heaven.

My look? COS yellow beanie 🧢, oversized round H&M Studio sunnies 🕶️, and my white graffiti bomber 🧥. Stylish, practical…very me 😎.

Outside Ulf’s highrise, a mysterious black rubber backpack 🎒 sits abandoned. Lost? Looted? Forgotten? Suspicious... 🕵️‍♂️

At his place, he’s dogsitting a black poodle 🐩—a bitey little thing that once got my hand and *almost* did it again 😳. We finally head to IKEA for curtain rods and a quick fika ☕🍰. I fall in love with a wine decanter from IKEA’s new Stockholm 2025 collection 🍷. Ulf nearly forgets the curtain rods at checkout until he *literally* trips over them 😂.

Next stop: Liljeholmstorget Galleria! Toothpaste for me 🦷 and weird potato chips for Ulf at Flying Tiger 🥔. Back at his place, someone’s been rummaging through the black bag—now a paper bag’s lying beside it 😱.

The chips? Good, weird, crispy. The pizza? Delicious. The salad? *Chef’s kiss* 👨‍🍳. Ulf keeps dozing off during *The Residence*, wine glass in hand 🍷💤. When I head home, the backpack’s gone—but the paper bag remains. The plot thickens…

📍I live in Midsommarkransen, work as a dresser & costume supervisor at a musical in Stockholm 🎭, and post daily vlogs about vegan food, theatre life & style 🧵. Let’s keep the feed fresh and fun!
