When I think of the Swedish summer, I think of a charming little red and white summer cottage surrounded by forest. This is probably because that was my first experience of Sweden back in the day - but it's always stayed with me! This house in Västra Götaland County, West Sweden is somewhat larger than the one in my head - but it's still so quintessentially Swedish! Plus, it has all the trappings of an idyllic Swedish country home - lush surroundings, a beautiful lake nearby and a few neighbours with whom to celebrate midsummer!
Step inside and you'll be greeted by beautiful wood panels painted in a soft muted green - and a classic style kitchen to match. Wood burning stoves and traditional Swedish tiled masonry ovens help to heat the rooms come winter, and the entire space has been kitted out a blend of old and new. It's the type of place that you'd want to pull up a chair and stay for a while, no matter the season!
Beautiful!!
I love the lighting in the kitchen, it's like a modern version of the pendant we have over our dining table at the cabin. The Frama Circle lamp is similar, but if you know who sells these exact pendants, please do let us all know in the comments!
Oh, and it could be yours! It's currently for sale through Stadshem. Any takers? I'd love to drop in for a cup of tea - or join your midsummer to enjoy the revelry, if you're the lucky one to snap this up!

Have a great start to the week!

This is practically perfection! Right down to the rhubarb (I think it's rhubarb??) by the sink and the rolling pin on the countertop. I can see myself making pie in that kitchen. The child's room is amazing, including that cute little chair with bunny ears.
ReplyDeleteYes, rhubarb! I love rhubarb pie! :)
DeleteBoy that porch seat sure reminds me of this Karl Larsson painting: https://en.artsdot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/O/8DP428/$File/Carl-Larsson-Esbjorn-Reading-On-The-Veranda.JPG
