Tjena! Hur är läget? Did you know that Swedes absolutely love the island of Mallorca in the Spanish Balearic Islands? They even have an affectionate nickname for it: 'Mallis'! This actually came as no surprise to me as, after all, we know Swedes have impeccable taste, and as a fellow fan of Mallorca (I've been going there for years since my sister lives there), I'm fully aware of just how beautiful the island is. Needless to say, I've featured several Scandinavians who have made Mallorca their home in the past - including the wonderful boho townhouse belonging to the founders of Dusty Deco. And today, I was excited to discover this beautiful finca belonging to Mercedes Lopez Coello.
Mercedes and her husband Mads moved from Sweden to Mallorca with their dog, and settled in a finca in the hills of Moscari, in the North of the island. They have since had two sons - Oliver and Felix and today the family use this house as their holiday home, while living nearer to Palma. The wonderful finca is a place the family can come to in order to relax and reconnect with nature surrounded by the scent of bougainvillea, lavender and olive groves. Here are a few snapshots.
The finca has been decorated with a blend of pieces, including elements picked up in Sweden - against a backdrop of cool white.
Fruit likes this can be bought in one of the many Sunday markets across the island, along with olives and other delicious local produce.
Source a similar basket lamp here* to decorate.
I'd be quite happy to sit here and watch the sunset over the hills everyday, how about you?
How idyllic!
Talk about a Monday escape. It had me dreaming about a year in Mallorca - it would be so fun to live nearer my sister too!
Could you imagine kicking back here? Or perhaps you have your own 'smultronställe' - a special place you can relax and enjoy yourself surrounded by nature?

I also love these homes on Mallorca:
Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week!
