Our blog tour in Stockholm started with a creative and fun evening in Bemz inspiration store. Bemz business idea is to help you personnalize and give a new life to your IKEA furniture thanks to their large choice of custom made covers for sofas, chairs, beds... So it only seemed fair to ask our group of bloggers to be creative too by personnalizing a basic cushion cover with the help of the different accessories Bemz had prepared for us.
Ensuite, on a tous posté l'image de notre housse sur Instagram pour un petit concours sympa...
Then we all posted a picture of our cover on Instagram for a nice little competition...
On a aussi eu le plaisir de rencontrer Lesley Pennington, la fondatrice de Bemz. C'est en voulant meubler sa nouvelle maison de campagne que cette canadienne, installée en Suède depuis de nombreuses années, a eu l'idée de proposer un plus grand choix de housses pour permettre à chacun de personnaliser et prolonger la vie de leur mobilier IKEA. Le nom Bemz vient d'ailleurs de la première lettre des prénoms de ses 4 (!) enfants.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Lesley Pennington, the founder of Bemz. It all started when this Canadian, living in Sweden since many years, wanted to furnish her newly bought summer house and got the idea of offering a larger choice of covers in order for everyone to personnalise and prolong the life of their IKEA furniture. By the way, the name Bemz actually comes from the first letter of her 4 (!) childrens' names.
Les photos ci-dessus ont toutes été prises lors de notre soirée créative, mais vous trouverez plein de photos d'inspiration dans des styles différents sur le site de Bemz.
