Fun fact: in Sweden, part of your driving licence involves something called the “moose test” — basically proving you can handle a car in bad conditions, either on ice in winter or oil in summer (I think it involves slaloming around bollards without panicking). London doesn’t have anything like that, so Per understandably gets nervous when I’m out driving in snow and wind.
That said… an evening at home with a glass of red, and my newly arrived copy of Vogue Scandinavia doesn’t sound too tragic. Anyway — I digress. You’re not here for my winter ramblings. You’re here for the home tour. And luckily, I have a lovely one, just for you!
This cosy little home for two in Suffolk, England feels like the ultimate escape. Tucked away on a quiet family estate, The Old Tack Room is compact, calm, and very cosy. The interior was created in collaboration with Design & That, and features soothing tones, beautiful textures, and an easy, open-plan layout made for slow mornings and long evenings. by the fire.
And then there’s the estate itself. A stay might include yoga classes… or private dining… or beauty treatments… or horse riding… or watersports. Or — and let’s be honest, my favourite option — tiramisu and a glass of red by the fire (and maybe a cuddle with a llama!). Which would you choose?
Either way, it's the perfect escape for the weekend!

Hello Niki, what a lovely escape for the weekend...I love colour on our walls, and all walls in our home have a different colour: light green in the living room and dining area, rosé in the hallway, beige for sleeping, petrol in the bathroom, etc. I like how the colours calm my eyes and how the lighten up my spirit....and Mondays or Tuesdays, I don't care, I am thankful for your posts either way. Haven a nice, cosy weekend in Malmö, greetings from Bremen, Steffi
ReplyDeleteAhh. I feel relaxed just looking at this. I have always veered towards slightly warm wall colors. Our living room is a very, very soft shade of yellow--many people don't realize there is a yellow tint to it, as it reads white in the daylight. It's a north-facing room and Michigan winters are typically lacking in sunshine, so I wanted something that would subtly warm and lighten the space. My daughter's room is the same color, and we've used a white shade in the rest of the house which is right on the border of grey/beige.
ReplyDeleteEnough about that! This little cottage is perfect for two. The transistor radio brings back memories of my growing-up years. I think I'd spend my spare time hanging out with the llamas!
This is super cosy, friendly lamas and two desserts!
ReplyDeleteI love white--so many shades. We even use antique white--a vanilla undertone. I find it restful & cannot abide rooms painted in bright colors on different walls. I need white & feel peaceful under its' spell. Outside I am into green (esp. silver green)---nature's medicine. I especially like white in combination with a pop of red, green or cognac.
ReplyDeleteI am a white walls kinda gal. Some version of white in every room. That said, I sure do love everything about that bathroom. Those tiles!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your 'digressions'☺ Any day is just fine.
ReplyDeleteDesign & That do well with neutrals, a bit strict for me but exquisite.
The Old Tack is more Nordic. Love the wood paneling, wooden countertops and simple wooden furniture. Even a little cast iron (shelf brackets) seem to lend character to the kitchen. The private backyard caught my eye. Nothing like having a cup of coffee in the morning, some fresh air and being outdoors without being noticed.
Bamboo frame for the bath mirror, clay pot tooth brush holder in the sink...aha...that gave me an idea☺ Thoughtful to place a mirror near the sky window. Tiles in the bathroom are beautiful.
Would spend time with the animals- sheep, llamas and horses.
To me, the home would reflect the inner self at that time. Seasons and scenarios bring out different moods and décor. However, the staples are white or light or neutral colored walls, wooden floors, and greenery. We get very little daylight a few months. Happy weekend☺
My favorite wall color is Divine White by Sherwin Williams. It's warm and elegant, very Beacon Hill in my opinion! Love this post.
