Renovated vicarage in Southern Sweden

My crusade to sell homes in the South of Sweden and get you all to live here continues. Haha! But seriously, when I spotted this home over at La Maison D'Anna G which is currently for sale just outside Malmö, I simply coudn't resist sharing it with you! Decorated in white and muted, earthy tones which provide a stark contrast against the original dark wood beams, this converted vicarage is so beautiful! I can already see myself  hanging out on one of the chaise longues by the fire, now to find the 9 million crowns....

Worth sharing or not?! Ready to up sticks?!

White and wood Malmö apartment

It wouldn't be a usual week on My Scandinavian Home without showing a local Malmö apartment for sale! This lovely white and wood home is bang in the centre of town in the old quarter of Gamla Väster. I spy an Andy Warhol print, Arne Jacobsen series 7 chairs, and the Verner Panton Flowerpot pendant light. But what I spy most of all is the beautiful painting in the kitchen. It's amazing how one painting can make such a statement, I wonder who it's by?

Such a lovely apartment. I told you there's something in the Southern Swedish air that makes everyone so stylish and creative :) is there anything you love in particular about this pad?
Hej då for now....

Ylva Skarp's Christmassy home

I seem to be in country mode at the moment as I simply can't stop showing beautiful homes from the Swedish countryside! This converted school house over looking a lake near Leksand in Dalarna was also photographed by Magdalena Björnsdotter for Lantliv. It's the home of Swedish designer and calligrapher Ylva Skarp and her family. Ylva's personal stamp can be seen throughout the house, which is all decked out for a truly cosy Christmas!

Such a beautiful home! What do you think?

I know it's only November and the last time I mentioned Christmas everyone panicked (haha!), but this home gets me feeling so Christmassy! I can't wait until the first weekend in December when we'll drive out to a farm in the Skåne countryside and chop down our Christmas tree (a family tradition always accompanied with a steaming mug of glögg (mulled wine). Do you have a Christmas tree tradition in your family?

PS Happy Bonfire Night to all my friends in the UK :)

A charming rustic farmhouse in Skåne

If it's Scandinavian rustic charm you're after this incredible four sided 'Skånegård' (a traditional Skåne house that sits around a cobbled inner courtyard) this home is IT! Dating back to the 1700s, owners Gunilla and Sven Montan have painstakingly restored this farm house to its former glory. The half-timber structure, stone floors, whitewashed walls and carefully selected furniture work together to create a truly stunning home.

Wow! This is the second time time in the past few weeks I have completely fallen in love with a Skåne home. The first was here. There must be something in the Southern Sweden air! What do you think?

Before I love you to have a FAB weekend I'd like to say a big 'hej' to all lovely new My Scandinavian Home readers! If you've got the time I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas and if you have a blog we can all visit!

I'm also on Pinterest (way to much) and Facebook....see you there? :)

Trevlig helg!
