Lív's Relaxed Family Home in the Faroe Islands

Why, hej there! Buckle up friends as I am taking you on a My Scandinavian Home all time first virtual trip to the Faroe Islands today! The Faroes is an archipelago in the North Atlantic ocean and an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Known for its dramatic volcanoes and striking nature, the Faroe Islands are somewhere I've always wanted to visit but sadly never been. 

Lív Patursson lives in the Faroe Islands with her young family and I'm excited to welcome you through the doors of her Scandinavian modern home. Cosy, relaxed and full of life, the home is laid out over three floors with a kitchen, sitting room and dining area on the ground floor, as well as a second sitting room on the top floor. 

Keep a look out for plenty of art, quirky lamps, and playful details (bonus points for anyone who spots a skull and a duck!). Also note, that these pictures have all been taken over time and being a fluid living space, objects and furniture have been moved around - so you might spot the same item twice (like the very cool little red chair!). 

Welcome to Lív's Faroe Island home!

I so enjoyed the tour of this genuine family home where everything goes. I hope you did too! 

Lív shares more snapshots from her Faroe Island home over at @rabarbuliv - if you'd like to explore her feed, you'll see how the furniture has been reconfigured over time. 

I'd love to hear what you spotted and loved about Lív's home, there is a lot to look at! 

This is where I'd usually write 'would you like to see more homes from the Faroe Islands?' but alas, this is the first one (I hope, of many!)! So instead, I'm going to share a few of my favourite Danish homes with you, which I hope will also add to the relaxed feeling this bright and sunny Monday morning! 

Take a peek at:

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week!

Amanda's Charming Vintage-Inspired Swedish Country Home

Tjena! Today we're heading to the Swedish countryside to dream of a simple life. One which involves a beautiful country home, a separate ceramics workshop and even an antique and homeware shop with a cafe selling delicious cinnamon buns and fresh coffee. 

Välkommen to the home of Amanda Forster who lives in the countryside near Jönköping with her family and their delightful dog. Amanda shares her passion for decorating, flea market finds and ceramics while surrounded by sheep, hens and a beautiful garden on her instagram feed @ladanskuriosa. What vintage finds Amanda doesn't choose to keep for her own home, she sells in her beautiful boutique Ladans Kuriosa (the curiosity barn) - somewhere I am now very keen to visit the next time I pass by. 

I hope you enjoy the tour of this charming home which is filled with beautiful items, cosy layers of textiles and pretty wallpaper. maybe it will have you dreaming of a new life in the Swedish countryside! 

So beautiful! And so cosy in Autumn too with the fireplaces, blankets and sheepskins. 

Could you imagine cosying up here this weekend? 

It was hard to find pictures of Amanda's pottery studio - but there's a lovely film clip here. And you can find plenty more pictures of her home and store here. 

Check out more country homes this weekend in the archive (if this crops up first, just scroll past). I was so happy to read how much you all fell in love with Frida's home on Monday. Take a peek here if you missed it. 

Have a wonderful weekend all, thank you so much for stopping by.
