my scandinavian home

It's Friday friends, how about one final home tour to complete the week? Welcome inside the charming home of photographer Sara Johansson, in Munkedal, West Sweden. Sara and her husband bought the house three years ago and have renovated the living space while working hard to preserve the original features. Projects have included bringing the wood floors back to their former glory and removing 'dummy' ceilings to reveal wonderful high ceilings. Sara has furnished the house with a mix of old and new - having picked up many pieces at flea markets. Today the house is enjoyed by Sara, her partner, their one year old son Oliver and the family cat. Although Sara confides that the house will always really be a work in progress (I recognize that do you?!). Enjoy the tour!

So beautiful!

I particularly love the kitchen, it has a wonderful Swedish style rustic country feel!

Is there anything that stood out to you?

Caveat - I'm actually writing this post from the passenger seat of our car while we head down the motorway to an Apple repair shop - as my laptop has appeared to have died. The sun's shining on the screen and I'm trying to navigate Per's computer - so I apologize now for any typos and spelling mistakes!

I SO hope the Apple guys can work their magic and fix it. Baaaaah. Don't you hate IT issues?!

Anyhow friends, I'll take this opportunity to wish you a magical weekend. I hope the sun shines for you!

Vi ses på Måndag! (See you Monday!).

We're at the summer cottage this week, so I'm strictly in holiday mode - even if the weather is not! Even so, I couldn't resist pouring over beautiful 'sommarstuga' (summer cottage) inspiration and thought it would be rude to keep this little gem to myself! The Norwegian cabin in a former boat house belongs to Jotun colour Manager Lisbeth Larsen. Measuring a teeny 36 square metres (387 sqft), the cabin in beautiful Nesodden, Viken County, has everything you might need for a wonderful holiday including a sleep loft, dreamy open-plan living space and direct access to the Fjord! Oh, and being the colour maestro that Lisbeth is, it also has a beautiful harmonic feel. Ready for the tour?

The cabin has been furnished with a mix of old and new including a kitchen from Kvik, table and bench from FRAMA and vintage chairs which have been painted in Lady supreme finish 4477 Deco Blue.

On chillier summer days (err... like today, as well as the past 10 days, and if the forecast is anything to go by - the next 10 days too - baaaah!), a Jøtul wood burning stove comes in handy (if I ever satisfy my lifelong dream of a burner, I'd like one of these bad boys!).
