Stylist Hanna MW has landed her dream home... Now it's time to renovate it. Follow her journey exclusively here on Vogue Scandinavia
In a monthly series for Vogue Scandinavia, stylist Hanna MW (who works with Elsa Hosk among others) takes us on a renovation journey. Check in to see her plans, interior finds, style ideas and so much more for the home she has recently purchased with boyfriend and Louis Abel, founder Jimmy Kamhieh Loutfi. See part one, two, three and four of her renovation diary here.
Now it's time for the last chapter of the interior story. This is the part where I’ll show you how the place has come together. Consider this a tour of our new home.
In the past chapter, I wrote about what kind of headboard we were looking for – a wavy, soft one in a red and beige striped fabric. After a lot of searching, we still couldn't find the perfect one so we decided to make our own instead.
And just look how it turned out – we are so pleased with the result.
When it comes to lighting in our bedroom, we purchased the 'Lucca Wall Lamp' from the Artilleriet Store while the red bedside lamp is a vintage find.
The cushion covers with the brown lining are from Zara Home.
… And here is where we spend a lot of time. I purchased these candles from Loewe during my last trip to Paris and I am happy to say that I think we might have found the scent for our home: 'Cypress Balls', which smells amazing. The scent is welcoming but also a bit mysterious with a lot of character.

Here is a look at our dining room, which I absolutely love. This picture was taken when I invited some of my favorite people over to celebrate my recent collection launch.

The table is from Gustaf Westman and around it is a mix of chairs and stools from Gärsnäs, Artek and Børge Mogensen.

I got this gorgeous vase from Hein Studio as a birthday gift from my best friends when I turned 30.

Do you remember the dream chair from Pierre Jeanneret I wrote about in my first chapter? It's finally ours. We bought it from Capsule Interior.
We are also very pleased with our wardrobes from A.S Helsingö and the curtains from Åhlens.

The sofa table in oiled oak is in place. It is by Farma from Vallgatan 12. Another thing that is in place is our dream sofa, 'Pilloipe Sofa' by Paola Navone purchased from Artilleriet Store.
Next to it stands my dream lamp from Svenskt Tenn.

The bathroom turned out exactly as we wanted. I love the classical, English look.
Both the wooden stool and the trash can are from Zara Home. The basin is from Burlington while the mixer is from Sekelskifte.

As you know, I spoke about the USM Haller sideboard in chapter four where we discussed switching the black one to a beige one. We did, and it feels like the right decision when looking at the result. It turned out less harsh and more in harmony with the blue ceiling.

I've loved this Carimate chair from Fritz Hansen for as long as I can remember. Now it is ours.

Here is a close-up of our kitchen. The sink is a great find from Ikea.

This, on the other hand, I know you have seen it before, but I feel like it can't be seen too many times. The 'Murano' lamp from Lampada.
Overall, we are almost 'finished' (are you ever get 100 per cent finished?) with the apartment.
I have received a sketch of a site-built bookshelf that I'm building for the dining room.
Here's the sketch:

Some other things we have on our wishlist are more art for the walls and the armchair 'Little Petra', but we'll see…
I'm so happy about our home and how it turned out, and thankful that all of you have been a part of this journey.
