This weekend I felt like spring was in the air in Malmö - even going as far as mentioning this in my instagram stories. What a mistake. We woke up this morning to a world blanketed in snow, yes friends, 'second winter' has arrived! I hope you'll forgive me for transporting us far south to a warmer climate on the blog today.
There are several places on this earth that I have never been to, bit can imagine have a similar vibe to Sweden (although I could of course be wrong!). One day I'd love to visit Maine in the US, for example. But I am also drawn to Tasmania - there is something about the rugged, wild coastline and relaxed cabins I so often discover online.
I've featured many holiday homes from the island in the past, and today stumbled across Boobialla Bungalow on the South Arm peninsula. A once forgotten 1930s shack, this charming and relaxed coastal hideout is a couple of minutes walk from the beach, and looks like a chilled base from which to explore the bay and beyond.
The majority of the furniture is vintage, adding to the chilled, un-polished vibe of the place.
The mid blue helps to create a cosy atmosphere in the sitting room, and echoes the coastal location.
A wood burning stove helps to heat the space in winter.
There's something about retro pink baths - my grandmother used to have one and this picture transported me straight back to my childhood! I love the combination with the dark green.
Rather than grand outdoor seating around a fire, sometimes all you need is a few tree stumps! Speaking of which, are you ready for some outdoor inspiration soon? Even if there's snow on the ground right now here, I'm feeling confident spring is just around the corner (again!).
Visiting Tasmania and fancy a stay here? Enquire more over at @airbnb and see more pictures at @boobiallabungalow.
Take a peek at all the Tasmanian properties I've featured in this archive.
Wishing you all a happy Wednesday!

It would be fun to see some of the "before" pictures. This looks like a relaxed place to vacation in. It reminds me of "up north" vacation cabins in my home state of Michigan (which I think you would find similar to Maine, Niki). They are the kind of places where you can kick off your shoes and relax after doing outdoorsy activities.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I live in Maine and it really is a wonderful place, I hope you get to enjoy its beauty someday. I can’t wait for Spring either! -Missy
ReplyDeleteWhat I love is designing around the existing fixtures and features in the home. No huge renovation. It's so relatable.
ReplyDeleteHah! Close to home - just over the 'ditch' from New Zealand. Here we call these humble holiday homes 'baches' or if you're down in the very south, 'cribs'. This one is gorgeous and everything about it is very familiar even thought it's in Tasmania.
