Why, hej there! Buckle up friends as I am taking you on a My Scandinavian Home all time first virtual trip to the Faroe Islands today! The Faroes is an archipelago in the North Atlantic ocean and an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Known for its dramatic volcanoes and striking nature, the Faroe Islands are somewhere I've always wanted to visit but sadly never been.
Lív Patursson lives in the Faroe Islands with her young family and I'm excited to welcome you through the doors of her Scandinavian modern home. Cosy, relaxed and full of life, the home is laid out over three floors with a kitchen, sitting room and dining area on the ground floor, as well as a second sitting room on the top floor.
Keep a look out for plenty of art, quirky lamps, and playful details (bonus points for anyone who spots a skull and a duck!). Also note, that these pictures have all been taken over time and being a fluid living space, objects and furniture have been moved around - so you might spot the same item twice (like the very cool little red chair!).
Welcome to Lív's Faroe Island home!

I so enjoyed the tour of this genuine family home where everything goes. I hope you did too!
Lív shares more snapshots from her Faroe Island home over at @rabarbuliv - if you'd like to explore her feed, you'll see how the furniture has been reconfigured over time.
I'd love to hear what you spotted and loved about Lív's home, there is a lot to look at!
This is where I'd usually write 'would you like to see more homes from the Faroe Islands?' but alas, this is the first one (I hope, of many!)! So instead, I'm going to share a few of my favourite Danish homes with you, which I hope will also add to the relaxed feeling this bright and sunny Monday morning!
Take a peek at:
Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week!

Three moments of homely peace, each and every week, in my turbulent life! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy this little corner of the web brings some homely peace to your life :)
DeleteWow how nice! The Faroe Islands. I was there last year in the fall and it was fantastic. How incredibly nice to now see a house on the inside on this special group of islands. Thank you very much. Greetings from a rainy Netherlands!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, lucky you! I so hope to visit one day. PS I love the Netherlands too (it'r raining here too - hasn't stopped all week :(
DeleteVery intriguing and cozy home. This is what looks like real life, orderly, aesthetic and fun filled, but easy to imagine everyday living taking place!
ReplyDeleteMeant to say I easily spotted the skull and took me longer to see the duck — and then, there it was! Nice touches of humor and whimsy. Pamela T
DeleteThe duck was definitely harder to spot! Bet you didn't come here expecting to play 'find the duck' - LOL!!
DeleteWonder if the kitchen cabinets, shelves were made by themselves. Beautiful woodwork. I am fond of an additional sitting room on the top floor, one could live off the sitting room here, with a cozy loft bed and huge windows/ deck. Delightful home. Faroe island sounds lovely! Thank you, Niki:) Yes, took me a while to spot the duck.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted. Could well have been as I haven't seen any like this before. Extra sitting rooms are such a gold mine. Per and I long for one with our girls being teenagers - it's so nice for the kids to have somewhere else to kick back with their friends.
DeleteSuper-sweet little house! Love the light and the warm wood everywhere.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you enjoyed this one too.
DeleteWhat a lovely family home! It looks lived-in and comfortable, with a great aesthetic. I appreciate the opportunity to see how they've moved around furniture and art, as this is something I love to do in my own home! Thanks, as always, Niki, for gifting us with your blog - it's been an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely message. I am so happy you enjoyed this tour too. It's such a fluid home - constantly adapting to the life within it, just as a home should :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful house! Every corner radiates style and warmth, creating a cozy and charming atmosphere. The attention to detail is impressive, and you can see the love put into every element. Without a doubt, a true home that inspires and enchants. Congratulations for sharing this beautiful space!
ReplyDeleteI love this description - I agree, the soul is really oozes out in each room!
