WE HAPPENED UPON The Sparrow Hotel on Victoria's Secret model Elsa Hosk's Instagram feed, the warm pink walls, marble fireplace and crystal chandelier drawing us in to take a closer look. Located in a restored fin de siècle building by Stureplan, Stockholm's landmark square, the 73-room 4-star boutique hotel is right in the city centre. Humlegårdsparken park is nearby, and Djurgården, with its museums and cafés is just a walk away.

RECENTLY CAME ACROSS this chic and dramatic home in Ostermalm, Stockholm on Bárbara's blog, Living Gazette. The 142 square foot, four bedroom apartment was listed on the real estate site Lagerlings for 17.5 million SEK (about 2 million USD).

The décor has changed somewhat, but some of Roth's artwork, as well as the blinds and leopard rug, remain the same. Scroll through for a glimpse of this wonderfully eclectic space, and click here for a comparison of how the home looked previously.

. . . there has been a warm and woodsy victorian in australia, a bright and modern apartment in sweden, and even a look at the differences between magazine and real estate photography for a townhouse in new york, but until now, there has never been such a perfect intermingling of the two . . . swedish real estate firm, fantastic frank . . .
