Hello my sweetie!
Today it's a great pleasure for me to have a special guest
Most of you surely already know
my darling friend Helena, from the wonderful blog "The Swenglish Home".
Cari amici
oggi è proprio un gran piacere per me avere un'ospite speciale.
Molti di voi sicuramente la consceranno
Molti di voi sicuramente la consceranno
la cara amica Helena dal bellissimo blog "The Swenglish Home".
She has the special talent of discover beauty
even where another eye would not see anything special.
And I like the way she is able to mix different styles
and create a special harmony
with few simple things
Lei ha un talento speciale nello scoprire la bellezza
anche dove altri occhi non avrebbero visto niente di particolare.
E mi piace il modo in cui è così abile nel mecolare stili differenti
e creare un'armonia speciale
con poche semplici cose
But let darling Helena speak!
Ma lasciamo parlare Helena!
Dear readers of Shabby Soul,
I was very flattered when my dear blog friend Silvia asked if I would like
to guest blog here, and I feel honoured to do so today.
My name is Helena and in my blog “The Swenglish Home”. I write about my
interior ideas, craft projects and a little about the life of a Swede living in the UK.

Cari lettori di Shabby soul,
sono stata molto lusingata quando la mia cara amica Silvia mi ha chiesto se mi sarebbe piaciuto
essere sua ospite, e ne sono molto onorata.
Sono Helena, il mio blog è “The Swenglish Home”.
Scrivo le mie idee di decorazione, progetti e un po' sulla vita di una svedese che abita in Inghilterra.
I live with my English partner and our two young boys in a
Victorian house in a picturesque part of England near Bath.
Vivo con il mio compagno inglese e i nostri due figli
I work part-time as a consultant and university lecturer in Cross-Cultural Communication,
and also make decorative items for the home, which I sell locally.
Lavoro part time come consulente e docente universitaria in Comunicazione Interculturale
Creo anche oggetti decorativi per la casa, che vendo in zona.
Travelling has always been a big part of my life,
and this is reflected in our home, where several different interior styles are mixed together.
Viaggiare è sempre stata una parte importantissima della mia vita
e questo si riflette nella nostra casa, dove sono mescolati tanti differenti stili.
Turkish lanterns sit next to French vintage finds and Swedish linen fabric, and - of course, with my Scandinavian background - wood is a material that can be found throughout the house!
Lanterne turche siedono accanto a oggetti vintage francesi e biancherie svedesi,
e naturalmente - data la mia origine svedese - il legno è il materiale che si trova in tutta la mia casa!
Having started as an interior decorating blog, I find myself being more and more drawn
out into the garden too, creating little “rooms” and relaxing corners in our outside space.
Ho iniziato come blog di decorazione di interni, ma sono sempre più portata
ad uscire anche nel giardino, creando piccole stanze e angoli rilassanti nel nostro spazio esterno
If, like me, you are fascinated by contrasts in your decorating
and creating, England really is a wonderful environment to live in.
Se, come me, anche voi siete affascinati dai contrasti nel vostro modo di decorare e creare
allora l'Inghilterra è veramente un luogo magnifico in cui vivere.
I often introduce “rougher” materials when I decorate, with a particular love of anything rusty.
Mixing textures of wood, linen fabrics, old metal objects with softer textiles, fresh flowers and lots of evergreens, gives a room a relaxed feel.
I desire to keep a playful and curious mind when decorating.
Introduco sempre materiali grezzi quando decoro, amo particolarmente tuto ciò che è arrugginito.
Mescolare legno, tessuti di lino, vecchi oggetti di metallo, con tessuti soffici, fiori freschi
e tanti sempreverdi, dona alla stanza un'atmosfera rilassata.
Mi piace avere una mente giocosa e curiosa quando decoro.
I am eager to try!
Sono entusiasta di provare!
Thank you for your time and thank you again, Silvia, for the opportunity to meet your readers.
Wishing you all a lovely summer!
Grazie del vostro tempo e grazie ancora Silvia per l'opportunità di incontrare i tuoi lettori
Auguro a tutti una bella estate
Helena

Just came over from Cozy Little House and so glad I did. Silvia's home is gorgeous. I could move right in. My son married an Italian girl from Ferrare. I may have misspelled that. When we went over there we landed at the Bologna airport and they live about 45 minutes from there.
RispondiEliminaHi Silvia,
RispondiEliminaI just found your blog through Helena´s The Swenglish Home and thought I should pay you a visit. Glad I did! You have a wonderful blog and home, from what I´ve seen so far. I will have to visit soon again.

RispondiEliminaHi Silvia,
RispondiEliminaI just discovered your blog. I added it to my list of favorites too as I so enjoyed the time I spent here. I was just in London. What a magical place. After seeing your post I can see that should the company take us there again next year, Bath is a must. What a beautiful place. I look forward to reading your post and hopefully becoming a blog friend as well.
Hugs
Becky
Hola Silvia, Helena has been one of my favorite inspirations since I open my blog. Thanks for this.

I do not know Helena or her blog so this was lovely for me to see! Her home is so beautiful...I just love everything about it! I like when homes feel like the walls between the indoors and outdoors are barely there. It is sure bliss! ox
