In my mind there's no better way to finish off the week, than with a beautiful country home tour. And this one in Västra Götaland County, Sweden is positively dreamy. Maria Sundberg Holm has taken a personal approach to renovating her early 20th century house - and thinks nothing of constructing wall panelling, painting radiators and adding DIY touches by hand. Look closely and you'll also spot wonderful traditional touches - including ceramic doorknobs, vintage cabinets and William Morris wallpaper. Enjoy the tour!
There are so many pieces to love in Maria's sitting room including: Petito sofa in sand from Furnova, lamp from Hallbergs of Sweden and Copenhagen rug.
'The Attentive One' character sculpture* by Kähler Design catches the light in the window - isn't it beautiful?
Got any leftover wallpaper from a recent project? Why not repurpose it as art like Maria has done with her William Morris paper!
A simple curtain in the landing helps to hide unsightly storage (source similar linen curtains online here).
A bed layered with linen (if you're quick, you can still make the most of the 20% discount at Lovely Linen - the Swedish brand I used on Liv's bed and which she's been enjoying ever since) - they do the softest linen in really pretty muted shades.

Aaaaa, what a lovely home! So may lovely details - and such a serene feel.
I hope you felt inspired too!

It's my lifelong dream to live in a turn of the century house like this. There are a few villas like this in Malmö but they're a little out of reach right now. But a girl has got to dream, right? That or a little cottage by the sea.
What does your dream home look like?

How do you explain the Scandinavian allure for William Morris wallpaper prints?
ReplyDeleteThis is one version of my dream home! I saw this the day you posted and kept meaning to come back to read and stare at the images more and leave a comment. So very pretty. I loved the framed Morris wallpaper and it looks fantastic in this space. I love every room, but I am particularly taken with the dining area and the desk under the eaves.
