Book Notes: Handmade Living/Scandinavian Style

Handmade Living: A Fresh Take on Scandinavian Style
by Lotta Jansdotter
149 pages

This book is artsy and fun, but not practical.

It's basically a lavishly photographed look at this hip young fabric designer's lifestyle via her apartment.  There are a few recipes and a few how-tos, but mostly lots of artsy photos.  It's more of an inspiration/ coffee table book than a DIY book.  I enjoyed flipping through it, though, and I'd love to learn to make these:

But unfortunately this is the sum and total of her description on how to make them.


Perhaps the Wilds of the Internet will cough up some more information, should the need arise.

Bottom Line: Nice for inspiration, but I'd go with library rather than buy, although I might give it as a gift to someone really into artful European minimalism.
