That's why I was so excited to discovery my friend, interior designer Genevieve Jorn was re-doing her miss Olivia's bedchamber (everything Gen does turns to aureate in addition to so I knew it was going to hold out beautiful!). I've got to know Olivia through the diverse photoshoots we've had over at Gen's place in addition to she is ane of the cutest 4-year-old's I know - non to yell a swell photograph shoot assistant, offering us 'pancakes' from her makeshift kitchen whenever we're depression on energy! She's in addition to so funny! These days, she's also ane of the luckiest 4-year-olds I know, her novel bedchamber is sooooo lovely! I couldn't resist heading into the centre of Malmö amongst my photographic boob tube camera in addition to a notepad to grill Gen on the details!
