A Home Filled with Sunshine: Inside Ebba’s Vintage-Inspired Haven

It’s Friday… and I’m in love. In love with the tiny shoots sprouting on the rose bushes outside. In love with the fact that March arrives tomorrow, bringing us one step closer to spring and summer. And in love with the idea of a weekend stretched out before us—not because anything special is planned, but simply for the slow mornings, the little household projects, the chats with my family, and the joy of popping out for errands. Are you feeling the weekend vibes too?

I’m also in love with Ebba Barkenbom’s house. Ebba—a certified doula and photographer who specialises in capturing the first moments of a baby's life—shares her home with her photographer husband Oscar and their three children, Ingrid, Maj-Britt, and Bertil. Every room in their beautiful family home is sprinkled with yellow, filling it with sunshine even on the cloudiest of days. It’s brimming with charming vintage touches, and there's the sweetest DIY idea in the children's bedroom—how I would have adored a nook like that as a child!

Ready to take a peek inside and soak up the sunshine-filled charm? Let’s dive in!

Ebba has painted the wood panelling in Claro from Jotun and the cabinets in NCS 1015-Y20R. 



The table is a DIY project - combining a worktop with the base from another table. 



The sofa is from IKEA and has been transformed with a linen cover and cushions from Bemz


The very cool hand-built bed nook has been made using wood panelling painted in linseed poil paint in tone burnt terra 15% and Green earth 7% from Gysinge Byggnadsvård

I love the sky blue on the floor and yellow touches around the window in the little bathroom, it may be a small space, but it sure is pretty! 


A charming family home, full of unique finds. Just lovely! 

Did you appreciate the touches of yellow too? 

It's time to wrap up here on the blog for the week, so I'll leave you with some Danish homes to dream about in case you find a quiet moment to browse with a coffee this weekend: 


Happy weekend friends, thank you so much for stopping by!

  1. Ebba has chosen to have a cozy corner in each room,.. the kitchen, dining, and living, not to mention the children's bedroom:) Noticed a blue 'thread' around this beautiful home that has lots of texture and foliage in a neutral color scheme.

  2. I love the soft, buttery yellow in this home. It bounces the light around and makes everything seem cozier. I so enjoy getting a glimpse of "real people" homes. The only thing that would make me nervous to live here is the bubble glass chandelier--I'm too clumsy and would be worried about breaking it (but kudos to her for having 3 kids and keeping it intact).

    1. I also love the buttery yellow (nice description) scheme - immediately warming. I know what you mean about the light, we used to have a low hanging glass chandelier in our sitting room and we got used to it but our guests were terrified of it!

  3. Over twenty years ago, I painted most of my house interior in a colour called "Cornsilk", and I still love it - in spite of some people here possibly thinking it's outdated. It's soft and uplifting at the same time. I also like all the vases of flowers in this home and the bed nook is cool!

    1. I must look up 'cornsilk', it sounds like an excellent, warm shade. And warmth never goes out of style!

  4. The softness of the color has a very calming effect. The shade of yellow is pretty as a standalone color and it is also complementary to the peeks of blue sky and the red cabinet near the table. I like the extra touch of the plant stand in the bathroom and the nook in the children’s room is so adorable!

    1. Happy you enjoyed this tour too! The warm yellow is such a welcomed touch. It came back as an accent recently, and I think it could be here to stay!
