One more baby related post... it is obvious what catches my attention these days! At Rörstarandsgatan in Stockholm there is a sweet shop with baby and children's wear called Milla Milano.

My daughter Sasha was born in the beginning of August. There are no words to describe how happy and proud we are and how amazing she is. We have received an incredible amount of beautiful, fun, smart, useful gifts from our friends and family. Sasha is surrounded by such generous and sweet people - from my dear friend Mikael in Paris who made sure Sasha stared her life in style by going crazy at Baby Dior - to my mother who spent innumerable hours knitting exquisite dresses, hats, blankets, cardigans, socks etc.

A Milanese apartment set within the owner's family's converted country house. The parents decided that their family home, where lighting designer Pier Lorenzo Salvone and his siblings grew up, had become too much for them. The solution was to convert the house into three apartments: one for them, and one each for the two sons. Pier, who initially studied architecture, designed the transformation. Opening up and filling the house with light, he created a balance with the surrounding countryside. From Living Etc
