Shopper’s Diary: Garbo Interiors in Stockholm

December 13, 2012

Tucked into a corner of an old factory building in Stockholm's central Östermalm neighborhood is an unexpected seasonal greenhouse, filled with scented pots of hyacinths and amaryllis bulbs and vases of fragrant flowers.

In addition to rustic garden furniture and outdoor accessories, home design shop Garbo Interiors sells a mix of antique furniture, Gustavian reproductions, candles and vintage urns in its greenhouse. Let's do some Christmas shopping:
