Höda, along with her husband, two daughters, and their cat Tiger, represent the seventh generation to live on her family’s farm, having purchased the farmhouse from her grandparents. The property offers plenty of room for the family to spread out and for Höda to pursue her art—some of the larger paintings you see on the walls are her own. But the creativity doesn't stop there.
"I am an artist with a very creative mind, and I’d rather build something myself than buy it," Höda shared. True to her words, much of the renovation has been done by hand. Höda and her husband built the kitchen themselves, with help from Höda’s father. Just last weekend, she took on the bedroom, adding paneling and using fabric in place of wallpaper.
Throughout the home, there are inviting spots for writing, playing music, and collaborating, reflecting the family’s creative spirit. These spaces are brought to life with unique vintage finds, clever use of wallpaper, and personal, beautiful details that make each corner feel inspiring.
Välkommen to Höda’s charming family home and atelier!
Such a lovely home!! The rustic pieces throughout the house set the tone, yet there are little modern accents that fit right in and spark interest. The artist's studio is a dream!! Thank you for sharing. Tiger and his (her?) family are lucky to have such a beautiful place in which to live and care for. And this farmhouse is most obviously cared for! : > )
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing out old and modern details alike. They are indeed so lucky - how wonderful to live somewhere with so much family history.
DeleteLovely home! Warm inviting , bright and well lived in. Loved the metal(?) vase on the dining table!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love the metal vase too - this is the source in case you'd like to treat yourself: https://royaldesign.se/flood-vas-30-cm-antique-brown
DeleteThis looks and feels like the home of creative people! I adore the kitchen and wondered whether the floor was original or reclaimed from another structure. So many vintage accent decor that could be heirlooms. That phone on the wall by the desk look like an authentic item. I love the light fixture over the table in the kitchen. And Tiger ❤️!
ReplyDeleteInteresting question - I'll need to check with Höda. I love that you looked so closely at the details - I was also on the look out for items that could have been in the house before they moved in (like the clogs) - maybe the phone was too?
DeleteYour 4th paragraph sums up the home in a beautiful manner!
ReplyDeleteDried herbs in an ancien jar, nouveau lamps, antique furniture. Wall paper in a glass cabinet or door. Lovely rugs, paintings and portraits. White and neutral shades. The dining room is my favorite! If Gotland is a little Med, this a little Tasmania! Admire farmhouses especially Nordic ones.
Guess there’s a creative being in each of us! To have a workshop like that:)Tiger is gorgeous. What a great tour!!!
Thank you for pointing out all these lovely details. You could well be right that this is like a little Tasmania! If you love Nordic farmhouses you're definitely in the right place :) So happy you enjoyed this particular tour.
DeleteI love farm houses! so often they are bought by creatives! It is nice to think of this one used by 7 generations! Wow! During the fall, here in Wisconsin, we have various artist tours where the artists open their home/studios to the public in order to sell their art...they are often out in the country, and on farms with a barn as studio! I love to see how others make use of these spaces! Thank you for sharing this one! Very nice and so unique!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! We also have a similar artist tour in South Sweden at Easter time, it's called 'Konstrundan' and it's one of my favourite activities of the year. Maybe one day, I'll make it to the Wisconsin one!
DeleteI'm fascinated by people who use fabric as wallpaper. I've heard that it's renter friendly, perhaps more so than peel and stick wallpaper. This is a charmer of a house, and of course I'm in love with Tiger. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, so interesting! I am so happy you enjoyed this one Kris :)
