A beautiful, relaxed Swedish country home

Hej hej! Its my second day here in the Hudson Valley - and all going well (promise I'll be able to reveal all soon!). It's such a beautiful part of the world, have you been? I've been once before to photograph a couple of homes for my first book Modern Pastoral and so excited to be back! I do love country homes with a modern twist no matter where in the world. This home in Borås, West Sweden, for example, is so inspiring!  It belongs to Swedish interior stylist and blogger Johanna Flyckt Gashi, husband Luzim and their three children, and has been furnished with an amazing blend of vintage, flea market finds, handmade pieces and lots of art which makes the home a truly warm and inviting. Let's take a tour...

Photography / styling: Johanna Flyckt Gashi - shared with kind permission.  

I love how this space is instantly recognisable as Johanna's home. She's got such a unique style which stands the test of time (I showed her home a few years ago here  and I think it looks equally good then as it does today, don't you reckon?!).

Get the look from Johanna's wonderful home: Sitting room - pick up a vintage metal folding chair here, mustard coloured throw, source a vintage black scissor lamp here. Bedroom - I love this pale grey stonewashed bed linen (and it's in the sale too!).

If you're doing up a country home (or actually, just want to wile away an hour or so - and why not I say?!)  kick back and enjoy this lovely archive (makes me want to move to the country - how about you?!).

Have a lovely day!

Lovely greens and blues in a Swedish space

Well, hello there! I hope you had a great weekend? I'm writing from a sunny Hudson Valley this morning - it'll be my home for a few days since I'm collaborating on a super exciting project (more to be revealed soon, although I might not be able to resist sharing a few sneak peeks on Instagram.... (just don't tell anyone!). Even though I'm miles from home I'm still drooling over this elegant home currently for sale in Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast. There's something about the green and blue tones and textures (how much do you want to run your finger along that kitchen worktop?!) that makes me feel like hanging out there all week (once I'm back of course!). How about you?

Home-owner / interior stylist: Caroline Ulkner. Photography: Anders Bergstedt. For sale through Entrance. 

Oj oj oj (as they say in Sweden!), what a fabulous apartment, don't you think?!

There are so many pieces I know and love in this apartment, in order of appearance: Blur print by  Esther de Groot, Vertigo pendant light, Menu wall-mounted candleholder, Remodelista book,
In Detail: Inspiring ideas for creative interiors by Hans Blomqvist, Z1 pendant light (also seen in my sitting room), Hektar Clamp Lamp.

Is there anything that you love about this home?

Right, better get on with the project here in Upstate New York! I hope you've got some great plans for the week too!

See you tomorrow!
