It's a beautiful sunny day here in Skåne, Southern Sweden, perfect for a local home tour! I spotted this wonderful, quirky, relaxed family home on Design Sponge. It's the home of photographer Jenny Brandt and her graphic designer / illustrator partner Jens Grönberg and their two children Viola and Frank in Ystad (also the home town of Wallander, for those you who are into Swedish detective novels!). I love how personal they have made their home.

Such a relaxed and lovely home don't you think?
You can see the rest of the home tour here. Oh and don't miss their fab webshop here!
I see they've painted their stairs white which is something we've been thinking about doing for a while here. Do you think we should go for it or not?
Oh that is stunning! Love that top picture, the mix of the lighting, the vintage map and chairs and that table colour. Gorgeous. x
ReplyDeleteI would love the world map print in my home!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes paint the stairs white, I don't think you'll regret it :)
I think you should go for the white stairs. I think it will look lovely in your home!
ReplyDeleteWow, loving the map wall...and those hints of pinks! :) x
ReplyDeleteSaw that first photo on Pinterest and just instantly knew it must be a Swedish home! Thanks for sharing, now I know:) great with the sun here! xo Caroline
ReplyDeletenice colors... in love with the dining room (first picture...)
ReplyDeleterelaxed is always good, impossible to do anything else when you have kids. x
ReplyDeleteI found that living room with de world map on the wall yesterday on Pinterest. It's absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Where is that amazing map wallpaper from!?
ReplyDeletePreciosa! Me gusta muchísimo
ReplyDeletei just love this. so very unique. it really just evokes this feeling of playfulness and friendliness. i adore it, good find!
ReplyDeletei don't normally like pink. but this is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI'd either leave them or do a white stain/white wash. White paint will show much more wear and chip and that will be a different version of dissatisfaction
ReplyDeleteI like the personal feeling here in this home. Niki you will not regret to paint the stairs. We have done it in our home and we like it a lot. Just make sure you do a good work to get the paint stick to the stairs and use a quality paint as you like it to last for a while. That is our experience. I will look so good in your home.
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning, I love it. That map on the wall in the first shot is brilliant.
