So many of the Swedish homes you see feature a fab Kakelugn (tiled stove) in the corner of the room. These date back to the 1880's neo-renaissance era (today's history lesson!). Many of them are not used for heating today but can still look pretty with lit candles. This home for sale through Alvhem is lucky enough to have one in the sitting room AND in the kitchen.

Oh gosh, i could live in that room. Needed a bathroom though. ;))
ReplyDeleteJust today I was talking to my husband about that, how cool it would be to have our fireplace two-sided looking both at the kitchen and living room!
ReplyDeletelovely! kitchen fireplace or regular old fireplace... it's my dream to have a fireplace! ^__^
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a fireplace like that in our house, it always looks so cozy and it would be perfect for those cold and dark winter nights. The rest of the apartment isn't too shabby either...
ReplyDeleteThese stoves are very decorative, almost everyone falls for their vintage charm :)
