What does creativity mean to you? For us it is encapsulated in this selection of Finnish homes that are both inspiring and beautiful. Decorating a home doesn´t have to be too serious; it´s at its best when you realize you can do anything that makes you happy – be creative. 

Happy Homes is a book series from Finland, which now continues with Creative homes. Don´t forget to check out Happy Homes Hideaways and Happy Homes Christmas as well!

  • Midsummer mood. After the beautiful nordic midnight sun, a long dinner in the garden and roasting marshmallows in the open fire, we think this weekend is perfect for relaxing and a glass (or two) of champagne. The summer is finally here! 🍾
  • Last book baby of this spring, is this beautiful cookbook From Oven to Table (suom. Peltiruokaa) written, photographed and designed by @violaminerva ✨ Cooking should be fuss-free and fun without needing to spend too long in front of the hob every single day. Within the covers of this book, you will find 50 sheet pan recipes that are effortless to make in the oven – saving precious time for other things. The recipes include sweet and savoury treats you can easily rustle up at home. Grab a roll of parchment paper and the rest will take care of itself! 🍽 From Oven to Table / Peltiruokaa, ~ 25-29€

Festive takes its readers on a stylish journey through the seasons. The two talented creators behind the book spill the beans on how to pull off a party with finesse – without forgetting the least detail when it comes to setting the mood and a delicious menu!

Marja, who works as an art director and runs her renowned interior blog, and Elina, who works in project management in advertising, serve up a visual feast as they share their best tips for making any occasion a worthy cause of celebration.” ✨ Language: Finnish & English ~ 29€, coming out in May 2019 ✨ Concept and texts: Marja Wickman & Elina Cerell Photography: Marja Wickman Layout design: @violaminerva
