Who Is Dos?
Go do something!
Dos Family consists of two different brains infected by color and shape, two families and one blog. Jenny Brandt is a photographer and webshop-owner in the south of Sweden, Isabelle McAllister is a decorator and TV-host based in Stockholm. After flirting on the internet, they started this blog together. And here it is! Already with over 90 000 readers a month from 142 different countries. Think big.
Dos Family is about good looking sofas, fleamarket findings, TV, how to build a diner with toys, country living, everyday life, food, felt pen-tattoos and challenges. It’s all about the strange and beautiful thing called inspiration, really. Welcome to the world of Dos- now go do something!
Jenny Brandt is a gifted photographer with pictures of kids and homes as her superpower. She loves Days of our lives, flea market bargains and coffee. She lives in a small village in Skåne in the south of Sweden with hubby Jens, daughter Viola and baby boy Frank. They have painted their hallway eleven times, every time in another shade of yellow. Apart from redecorating, dressing up in costumes and working, Jenny and Jens design and sell super nice posters here . They spend at least one month a year in Nebraska, US. Jenny is the owner of every Scooby Doo-doll action figure on planet earth.
Isabelle McAllister is a well known decorator/ journalist with her own TV-show for kids plus several different projects going on at the same time: books, she gives talks, articles and other fun stuff. She lives in a messy but nicely fuchsia-painted apartment in Stockholm city with super tall hubby Eric, the circus artist Della and baby boy Beppe. Isabelle loves spray cans, chic-lit and cherries. She used to be afraid of mother nature, but since the McAllister-family inherited a small house in Dalarna she had to embrace even the Swedish winter. If you want to stop her, you have to put her in high heels.

Hi Dos family
I recently found a blog post on desiretoinspire.net about your blog. And it featured this gorgeous room with a beautiful black wallpaper with white birds and lots of leafs and flowers. I was wondering if you could help me get my hands on this wallpaper? Do you know where I can get it?
Thanks a lot for your help

I’m so happy to have stumbled on to your website! Love what you both do with the Dos Visits, I love those pictures and I enjoy seeing how others with children live and decorate their places. Very nice! Thank you!
Congratulations girls! The blog is really amazing…
I´m a Brazilian mom of a 3 year old boy – Arthur. We have just moved to a new, spacious house and my mind hasn´t adapted yet to it´s bigger size – nor has my inspiration to decor it!
My toddler´s room loooks so abandoned and I simply can´t put my ideas together…
Well, all this is to ask for HELP!!!!!!!! Could you give me any hint, send pics or suggest sites/blogs where I could find inspiration to start adding something to those threatening white walls?
Thanks a lot and lots of luck in this new Mom phase for both of you!
Rachel.
P.S. I have a feeling that I should be writing all this somewhere else…
Hi there,
what a very fine blog this is.
Thank you.
Richard
Hi! You have probably some time with nwe babies at the moment… Mine have reached the age of 9 and 6. But I remember. I´m from Skåne, HBG/Bjärehalvön but live in Stockholm/Gustavsbergs since 12 years and have my own studio here, 2 min from home ; )
I also think I should write this somewhere else… like the mom above. Anyhow – how do I make an advertise on your blog? Really really like your approach and style!

Hi,
We love your blog and as we have recently started a new wallpaper business we thought we should send you a link to the website which has just gone live:
http://www.turnerpocockcazalet.co.uk
The collection is divided into two themes – a sporting range which at the moment covers cricket and tennis in various colour-ways and an animal range which hopefully has something for everyone from Zebra to Polar Bears! They’re all quite funky and different to anything available on the market – hopefully that’s a good thing?!!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Kind regards,
Bunny, Emma and Catherine
Dear Isabelle,
We would like to inform you about a new product that had a great success at the Outdoor Living Fair in Rimini -Italy.
Double-face accessorised pic nic cloth, Prat-à-jouer looks like a shoulder-bag with a pocket: once unfolded and rolled out, it becomes the typical pic nic cloth; turned upside down, it becomes a game to be fixed to the field and flipping through the pages, there are many games to enjoy outdoor living!
(Winning project at the International Design Contest at SUN of Rimini -Italy).
http://www.prat-a-jouer.com
we will sand you pictures of it if you need them.
thank you for attention,
best regards,
Simone Ottonello e Elena Fattorini, Architects.
Do you have a direct email? Your blog is AMAZING! and your families are beautiful
Hej, I know all about mixing Swedish and English together because this is what my mom and aunt do when my aunt visits from Stockholm. My parents are both from Sweden and have been in California since the late 1950′s. My dad is from Goteborg and my mom is from a town near Upsalla. They met in Los Angeles when my mom was traveling with a friend. They ended up marrying brothers. I haven’t been to Sweden since 1978 and miss it soooo much. Penga! Penga! Penga! I love that you have combined your blog with two Swedish women.
Tak, Katharine
I love this. Thank you for sharing.
