I love living in Scandinavia. Having been here for 18 years, I consider it my home. But sometimes - especially on a Monday morning - it's great to dream about faraway places! As you know, I've had my eye on Tasmania for many years (and now my sister Charlie - also has her heart set on on Tas thanks to some of the places here on MSH! I tell you, it's catching!).
Maybe you'll also be tempted once you've seen the pictures of the beautiful SABI cabin in the Bay of Fires, designed by Fred and Jessica Eggleston. Described as a 'refuge of calm, free from distraction' the handcrafted stone cabin is serene, simple, raw and refined. Intentionally sparse yet rich in texture, romantic, spacious yet intimate - the cabin is located a short distance from the bay with its many hidden coves and cliff walks. The only thing you need to decide is whether to enjoy a book by the fire, soak in the Japanese-inspired tub or head out for a walk by the sea. I vote for all three.
The kitchen has been kitted out with custom ceramic dinnerware and cast-iron cookware as well as everything you need to brew yourself the perfect cup of coffee (this could well be the tipping point for convincing Per - he does love his morning coffee!).
The bathroom is inspired by a Moroccan hideout complete with floor to ceiling micro cement for a spa-like feel. My eye is on the rain shower.
Could you imagine getting away from everything here for a few days?
Even if Tasmania is a little bit of stretch for many of us being so far, a girl can dream! Plus, there's lots of inspiration to take away from this striking interior.
I particularly love the wooden tub and can well imagine a soak in it. It's been made from a repurposed barrel and features a liner handcrafted from salvaged copper. So clever!
Is there anything that stands out to you?

Oh, and here are a a few other dreamy Tasmania hideaways:
Have a great start to the week!

Your description well matches the images and I especially resonate with the words raw and refined. I had no idea Tasmania was so beautifully appealing. That niche with the barrel tub is truly wonderful.

From what I've seen of pictures of Tasmania there is some absolutely incredible nature - and quite a few lovely places from which to enjoy it from too! :)

DeleteWhilst you are in Sweden dreaming od Tasmania, I am in Tasmania dreaming of Sweden haha. We have just closed on a block with a creek and lots of trees where we plan on building a little red and white cabin inspired by your Swedish allotment cottages <3
