One of the beauties of blogging over time (it's been eight years and counting!) - is that some homes pop up over and over again, each time revealing either drastic transformations or small tweaks. This is the third time this instantly recognisable Gothenburg maisonette has popped up in six years, and I'm happy to see it falls under the latter camp. Former owners
Catarina Skoglund, husband Robert and daughter Stella left their mark with exposed brickwork, William Morris Wallpaper and fabulous tiles (among many other fabulous details) which I first featured
here. They then
sold it in 2016. The new owners have made their own small mark while maintaining many of the original details that allow the architecture to shine. Can you spot them?
I don't know why but I've always felt this house has an English air to it - could it be the narrower rooms, or perhaps the wallpaper? Either way, it always makes me feel really nostalgic!
How fabulous is this black radiator? I love that they've made a statement out of it.
Those blue stairs! A bold move that completely paid off. Would you dare to paint your stairs in a different shade?
I love seeing the contrasting walls, it gives the home a lovely relaxed vibe. Look out for more and more contrast in living spaces throughout 2020!
I couldn't think of a more lovely spot to sit and work! Although the cane daybed would always be calling me...
It looks like a mid-century piece which has been given a new lease of life with new legs (potentially?) and a striped linen mattress cover (find similar linen
here*). Please do give me a shout in the comment section below if you know anything more about this daybed - I'm curious!
Spotted after several hours looking at the pictures: the pipe in the corner has been disguised using a tube wrapped in the same wallpaper as the wall behind.
I love how the floor is more of a grey tone than white. I've done something similar in
my bedroom using
'strong white' by Farrow & Ball which is actually a very pale grey (beats me why they gave it such a misleading name!).
What a beautiful home. I loved in 2014 and I love it now.
I can't wait to see what the next owners do, can you?
It's for sale
here - just saying!
Shall we take a look at a few more homes with William Morris wallpaper and textiles? Here are a few of my favourites:
Talk about free spirit. Can I let you in on a secret? I haven't made it into the studio yet. In fact, I'm not even dressed. Talk about breaking every rule in the 'how to successfully work for yourself' book. I have two say though, it feels great!
Have a fabulous start to the week friends!
