Not THAT kind of snow. Thank god!
No, the BEST kind of snow. Snö by Jonas Bohlin and Thomas Sandell for Asplund.
I splurged. In a major way. These cabinets are not inexpensive but I’ve loved them since forever and saved my pennies so I could finally get them. And here they are. Classic. Yay!
Happy weekend!
PS. Till er här i Sverige: Panduro Hobby fyller 50 år i år och firar idag och i helgen med 25% på allt både i butikerna och i webbshopen!
De är verkligen jättefina.
Tack för tipset om rabatt på Panduro!

I´m envious - I love those too but have to save a while further... They are looking fantastic! :-)

Gorgeous!

Loving those colour-co-ordinated books inside too.

nice

Oh, yes, that´s my fave snow also!

I love those! And the way you have arranged the contents.

Supersnyggt! Jag suktar också efter Snö, men får nog spara lite till :)
Posted by: Anna | September 28, 2012 at 04:19 AM
Då hade jag ju rätt i min gissning för ett tag sedan om vad som dolde sig i kartongerna :-) Och jepp, jag är så avis, precis som jag trodde! Jag har också varit förtjust i Snö så länge, jag vet inte, men det är något med handtagens (öppningarnas) utformning som är helt charmant.

Simple and nice.
Happy weekend.

Blir ruskigt avundsjuk på de fina skåpen!
Har varit sjukskriven och sedan mammaledig i över ett år nu och att läsa din blogg har varit en stående punkt i morgonrutinen. Varje fredag har jag blivit förvånad över att veckan har gått!
På måndag går jag tillbaka till kolgruvan -hmm förlåt -jobbet och kommer att sakna min morgonrutin! =( Blir inte samma sak att snabbläsa på kvällen.
Kram!

Ja och IKEA i all ära men det här ÄR en annan känsla :).
Posted by: Carlos | September 28, 2012 at 05:20 AM
Haha, kolgruva! Så känner jag det också ibland trots att jag har ett bitvis ganska kul jobb. Hekst vill man ju vara hemma och pyssla med "sitt" liksom :)
Posted by: Carlos | September 28, 2012 at 05:22 AM
Åh åh åh!! Blev ju supersnyggt! Ja, man blir ju ibland trött på sitt ikea-fierade hem. Men en annan får ju liksom spara även till den enklaste Billy... Tur att det finns loppis och second hand!

I Norge fyller Panduro også 50 år! ;)
Nice cabinets, love the color!
Posted by: Maja | September 28, 2012 at 06:41 AM
Beautiful! Thank you for the Asplund link....amazing!! x
Posted by: Nicola | September 28, 2012 at 06:46 AM
WOW!
Love at first sight-great investment pieces! The will look amazing in a later home's dining room or even bedroom, I like them more than the USM cabinets that are very chic in Switzerland.
Posted by: nicolezh | September 28, 2012 at 07:28 AM
Very nice. I like the opening instead of a handle to open the doors. I clicked on the Asplund link that you provided and I also like the L chest of drawers very much.
Trevlig helg!
Posted by: Zosia | September 28, 2012 at 08:24 AM
Gorgeous cabinets, Benita!
Posted by: rachel swartley | September 28, 2012 at 08:31 AM
så himla himla snygga!!! bra köp. Å tack för tips ang Panduro, ska fixa inför sonens dop, så det passar bra. Trevlig helg!

Hi Benita
Love the Snow, also love your cardboard cat house. Could you tell me wher you got it!
Posted by: Fiona | September 28, 2012 at 09:33 AM
I made it following these instructions with a few minor changes: http://www.marthastewart.com/921522/how-make-cardboard-cat-playhouse?lnc=bbb7a99556c5f110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&pgType=intro&rsc=howTo_tab_intro#menu_container
Posted by: Carlos | September 28, 2012 at 09:40 AM
Benita, they look GREAT! Excellent investment. I imagine Mini and Bonus are not going to like not being able to get in and out of it as they could with the expedit! :)
Posted by: Romina | September 28, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Snow är underbart vackra! Passar utmärkt i ditt fina hem. Har länge suktat efter en byrå.. Har redan tänkt att det borde bli en 50års present - om 6 år! Försöker sälja in idén till släkten redan.
Posted by: Annelie | September 28, 2012 at 10:46 AM
miss b, you kill me. your english is idiomatically better than mine (since forever!!!). the cabinets are wonderful, but oh you kid.
Posted by: jeannette | September 28, 2012 at 11:05 AM
Det låter som en strålande ide!
Posted by: Carlos | September 28, 2012 at 11:11 AM
Want!
Posted by: Victoria | September 28, 2012 at 11:29 AM
So nice! Congrats!
Posted by: vita_margarita | September 28, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Oh my god, you nearly killed me ;-) We'll travel to Sweden tomorrow for some days and I thought for a minute that I'd have to repack everything because I neede3 the thickest clothes I own. Okay, now I'm wide awake again and happy that it's not (yet) true.
Best regards,
Nina
Posted by: Nina | September 28, 2012 at 04:03 PM
Haha! Welcome to Sweden! Hope you're bringing an umbrella... :)
Posted by: Carlos | September 28, 2012 at 04:42 PM
Those are gorgeous! Great choice.
Posted by: Suzanne | September 28, 2012 at 06:07 PM
Åh, vilka fina!
Jag har länge suktat efter Snö Byråer och visste inte att det fanns sådana här skåp. Det är handtagens form som är grejen!! Man blir liksom kär i dem...
Jag fortsätter att drömma om den underbara snö-varianten medan jag fotar mitt senaste Lussekatts-tryck tillsammans med årets fina designflaska med BLOSSA GLÖGG 2012.
TREVLIG HELG!
Anci,

that's how i like to do it too. make as much as possible, and then buy things you really adore and have been pining for! they look wonderful, i'm very fond of a window in a cabinet. i like the height. x
Posted by: elisa | September 29, 2012 at 01:04 AM
They are beautiful. I also like their high cabinets.
Posted by: Marianne | September 29, 2012 at 03:25 AM
Wow, they look fab ! There's nothing more satisfying than saving up your hard earned cash and finally getting that one special item. I bet they'll make you happy every day :-)
Posted by: Fat Cat | September 29, 2012 at 04:43 AM
I officially envy you big time! I've always loved SNOW (the furniture, not the wet and cold stuff associated with winter). But they should be white as these ones. The new color – some dirty beige –introduced this year I really don't like.
Posted by: Nini Tjäder | September 29, 2012 at 05:15 AM
Hi Benita, I love your new cabinets!
I discovered your blog some weeks ago through a Facebook group, and since I liked it so much I went back to the beginning to read it all... I finished today, so from now on I can follow "live" :)
It's been an inspiring reading, your organization tips will be so useful to me when I'll move in my new home, a few months from now! As to DIY projects, I am afraid they are out of my reach, but it's always interesting to read about what you do!
Posted by: Elisabetta | September 29, 2012 at 12:04 PM
They are absolutely gorgeous! Well worth the many pennies.
Posted by: amy | September 29, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Tack så mycket! No, we didn't bring our umbrellas but decided to bring rain jackets instead. Until now it was (nearly) dry and even a little bit sunny. Thanks a lot for the Panduro link, the store here in Malmö is opened today and tomorrow. And: the 25% off are still valid. It's always good to know where to spend your pocket money.
Posted by: Nina | September 29, 2012 at 03:31 PM
I've been going through some of your older posts and I came across your amazing apple print next to your new sofa : http://chezlarsson.com/.a/6a00e55224287c8833017c31e734a9970b-pi . I just have to ask - where did you get that from ?
Posted by: Fat Cat | September 30, 2012 at 02:52 AM
It's from Nous Design but seems to out of stock :( http://nousdesign.se/poster/?p=180
Posted by: Carlos | September 30, 2012 at 09:16 AM
Just great!!! I love this peace of furniture like forever! I would probaly go for no glass version.
Posted by: jja | October 01, 2012 at 05:38 AM
Thank you very much for the info ! I emailed them anyway, maybe there's some left - one can hope :-)
