That’s exactly where my mind wandered when I stumbled upon this dreamy house in Malmby, west of Stockholm. The fairy tale-like property dates back to 1927 and feels like something straight out of an Astrid Lindgren story.
And something extra special happens when a house like this finds the right owner, and this one clearly has. Green is the colour of choice throughout, flowing from the conservatory and kitchen to the living room and bedroom. It’s a calm, grounded shade that ties the whole home together, natural, timeless and wonderfully traditional.
Meanwhile, every corner tells a story: a ceramics collection lined up on the windowsill, a cupboard brimming with textiles, patterned upholstery and curtains, and perfectly chosen vintage pieces. It’s the kind of home that feels cherished. I can’t help but hope the next owner will treasure it just as much. Could that be you? Take the tour… but fair warning, you might just fall in love!
Wonderful – so much soul! Did you feel it too?
I bet this house is as cosy as can be at this time of year, but it also comes into its own in summertime, when you can throw open all the windows and doors.
Is green your shade? I have surprisingly little of it at home in the city, but I think it’s a particularly lovely shade for a country home. Do you agree?
Would you like to see a few more country homes on this autumn day in November?
Emilia's laidback Swedish country home
Jessica's idyllic Swedish country croft
A relaxed vintage inspired home in the French countryside
Have a great start to the week and month! Is it really November already?
How I love this home! Each area is so functional, comfy, and peaceful... to be lived in not just sat on. Guess it has been mostly left as in times past , that's what makes it so relatable. Love country homes especially if they come with a kitchen garden or farm. Thank you for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThe shades of green in this home are so lovely!! My favorite color is blue and it is all over my home, but I do mix in some green here and there as well......I like to think of green as the stems and leaves of colorful flowers- it goes with everything! I grew up on a farm so have a real affinity to country homes. This one is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!! : > )
ReplyDeleteWouldn't this be a wonderful home for raising a young family? I was disappointed when I came to the end of the pictures. You can tell that a crafty/creative person has lived here. I like the green, but would likely tone it down in a few places if I were fortunate enough to own it. This was a nice way to start my week.
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy your time at your cabin?
Oh, this one is good! The perfect blend of thoughtfully considered and lived-in. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this home and love the color green, in all shades and for everything! Thanks for the tour!
