Scandinavian Habitations

Sweden - (BTT) While the dream of home ownership might be as rosy as it has been in the past, at least in some parts of the world, there are few things more universally appealing than 4 walls all your own with a roof over them. Even better when those walls are painted such a beautiful shade of blue and trimmed elegantly in white such as this quaint Swedish home. If blue isn't your color, fear not - equally charming houses are available in both green and white, plus there is a lovely little brick number should masonry be your pleasure.

Mall Rats

Stockholm, Sweden- (BTT) The mall is often a staple of a metropolitan city. Not only is it a center for economics, but also for socialising and art. While some malls are cookie-cutter recreations of their international counterparts, some take the extra step to be unique and memorable. This model of the NK-Mall has all sorts of outstanding detail. The great tram out front, the excellent black and gold sign, window displays, the woman running late for the train, and the man who didn't look twice before crossing the street!
