Why, hi there friends! I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing weekend. I also hope you have your bags packed, because we're heading off on a virtual trip to the Norwegian wilderness — to visit the newly built wood cabin of Lin Christin Mortensholm!
Now, as we’re enjoying the beautiful spring weather, you might be puzzled by the snowy picture above — but in some parts of Norway, the backcountry ski season is still in full swing.
Designed according to Lin’s philosophy of a "natural, quiet interior, and mindful living", the Scandinavian-style blond wood cabin was the well-deserved winner of "The Year's Cabin Gullfjæren". Naturally, I was keen to find out more — and discovered a beautiful, serene living space where the indoors blend seamlessly with the wild beauty of the outdoors.
Immersed in nature — where the contrasting seasons create an ever-changing series of striking landscapes — the interior has been kept wonderfully simple, allowing the surrounding scenery to take centre stage.
An open-plan design, the striking monochrome interior is furnished with an array of pieces crafted from natural materials like cork, wood and canvas. Freshly picked foliage, such as lupins and bracken, helps to capture the true essence of the season.
Ready to take a tour?
Can you imagine chilling here this week? Was there anything that caught your eye?
Hop on over to @lysthus_skrim to see more beautiful angles of Lin’s cabin.
It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE Norway. It’s an incredible country. I’ve visited many times — for holidays, work, and to write travel guides for Simply Scandi magazine. Here are a couple of guides I’ve featured on My Scandinavian Home:
Hi Nikki Just before surgery this morning I opened up your mail . What a wonderful house in the wildenis
ReplyDeleteI could just dream about recovering from what I have in this dream house . Love everything about it thanks for sharing to day greetings fro Maine dinie
Wishing you a speedy recovery! The landscape here is reminiscent of Maine and northern Michigan, so we both would feel comfortable in the woodsy outdoors here. I'm assuming the ladder leads to a sleeping loft--am I right, Niki?
DeleteThanks Kriss I love Maine 💛
DeleteWow, really beautiful, simple and very tasteful. I've missed these kinds of flats a bit, so I was particularly pleased today. I particularly noticed the ‘communication’ between the tree picture on the wall by the sofa and the black DCW wall light, both are leaning towards each other, great job. I thought it was funny and great. The whole flat would absolutely be mine :) Thank you for the great insight. Best, Heidi

ReplyDeleteSo stunning. It is so modern, it could be anywhere in a city as well.
ReplyDeleteNeutrals are so calming to me. My favorite photo is of the comfy looking couch in the little nook! It looks like such a sweet spot for reading, napping or conversation! I wonder about the wooden balls next to the vase of flowers....are they simple decorations or from some sort of outdoor game?? Wishing dinie my best!! : > )
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki I had to reply…..LOVE Norway too. Before finding the little farm my great grandmother left before emigrating to America in 1903, we spent time in the Sognefjord area. So beautiful. We stayed at Kvikne’s Hotel which has been in the same family for over 100 years. If you like clean, beautiful and nature Norway is the place to get to. Thank you Nikki for all you do
