A white Swedish home with warm, natural touches

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying blogging (and instagram) this December - from cosy spaces and christmas trees to winter kayaking (cue - a new instagram favourite) and gift give-aways, it's all been so inspiring, I hope you've been enjoying it too?  Today we woke up to clear blue skies here in southern sweden - which I think calls for something fresh, don't you?! This lovely home in Gothenburg, Sweden fits the bill perfectly with its soft tones and natural textures. Think white walls wooden furniture, jute rugs and layers of texture...

Perfect!

With lots of guests coming to stay this December I'm thinking how great it would be to have a wooden clothes rail like this one - anyone know where it's from?

And I love the lighting in this apartment: you can't go wrong with the Aurora Vita feather pendant and the fab Z1 pendant (I've got this in my bedroom and it looks especially beautiful when the light is dimmed). This knitted lamp is similar to the one over the kitchen table. 

Is there anything that stands out to you?

Have a great start to the week!

A Swedish country home at Christmas

As promised, I've got the most beautiful Christmas home tour to share with you today. Located in Vetlanda, Småland, here in southern Sweden, this wonderful turn of the century country house belongs to Sofia, who has been painstakingly renovating it back to its former glory. Think magnificent period features, white floors and walls, a roaring fire and lovely, subtle festive touches including a Christmas tree with pure white candles, paper star lanterns, pine wreaths and the fresh scent of hyacinths. Carina Olander and Anna Truelsen paid a visit and captured these beautiful images for the great Swedish country magazine Lantliv. How magical would it be to spend Christmas here?!

Oh so lovely and cosy, don't you think?

Apart from, well everything, I especially love the coffee table which looks like it's been made from a door?

Is there anything that caught your eye?

A few items from Sofia's house I know and love: porch / conservatory - paper star lantern, woven jute rug. sitting room - this white linen sofa is similar, sheepskin throw, the Z1 pendant is similar.

And before I head off for the weekend, here's a little Christmas link love:

Have you got any fun plans for the weekend?! P is taking me away somewhere as a birthday surprise and I have no idea where. All I know is that I need a long formal evening gown and we're staying over night somewhere...?! So intriguing! Any guesses?!

I hope you have a great couple of days and see you Monday!
