I like to imagine the days when teachers stood at the front of the class, the sound of pencils scratching on paper, and children running out to play in the fields.
Today, it’s a welcoming family home, now owned by an artist (which makes perfect sense with all that glorious light streaming in through the old mouth-blown windows). Keep an eye out for the quirky rug laid at a diagonal, beautiful wallpaper, a cosy kitchen window nook, and of course, the lovely fireplace – perfect for curling up beside in winter.
The garden has plenty to offer too – a greenhouse, kitchen garden, and space to grow your own vegetables. In summer, you can pick wild strawberries straight from the lawn, and in the evening, there’s a beautiful sunset over the meadows.

The old glass is awesome! I love the vibe here......maybe because I used to be a teacher??? : > )
ReplyDeleteCould well be! I must show it to my husband (who is also a teacher) and see if he loves the vibe too! PS the original glass windows you find in old houses in Sweden is so beautiful!
DeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear!
DeleteThe first image was enough for me! What a dream to live here. Then the entrance porch. The allium is my favorite. The artists bench. Love the old restrooms, comfortable and well spaced. Am glad it's not a school anymore:) Love a converted school:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring another gem, Niki!
Loved that you discovered all these charming details - it's such a lovely home!
DeleteJ'ai beaucoup aimé le bureau - support de tableau, pinceaux dans un pot en verre - avec un magnifique paysage derrière. Votre site me permets de poursuivre mes rêves d'enfant. Je viens d'avoir 62 ans. Et je découvre tout cela, hormis les livres. Dommage, que je ne puisse y aller un jour. MERCI À VOS PUBLICATIONS
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup pour vos mots si gentils. Je suis vraiment heureux/heureuse que mon blog puisse vous transporter en Scandinavie et vous faire profiter des maisons, des paysages et de la créativité, même à distance.
DeleteI have always been fascinated with old school houses. Here the country schools were all closed years ago, but sometimes you find one that has been converted into a home. I always wanted to do that. Loved this
ReplyDeleteSchools make for such interesting homes with their large rooms and wonderful windows!
DeleteThose wavy glass windows are wonderful! I liked the chalkboard and old school desk that help tell the story. So much fun to see others creativity to convert a school into a home.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, well spotted with the desk and blackboard!
DeleteI love old glass windows too, there is something extra special about them - I wonder if any of them were ever broken by a rogue ball from the playground?
Absolutely love the easy living style ! The fireplace and the hanging lamps in the kitchen are stunning!❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed the tour Christine - I completely agree on the fireplace and hanging lamps!
