Tuesday House Tour!

Christmas Inspiration - Country Living 5 copy

I’ve come to the conclusion that I have never met a Scandinavian house that I didn’t like.  I’m drawn to their abundance of light and space and the fact that they are almost certainly built on/near the water. What more could you want? Take a look at this Manor house I stumbled across built on Lake Malaren in Sweden. I can’t decide which aspect I like more… the exterior with its dormer windows and beautiful porch or the interior with its cluttered eclectic furniture and brightly coloured textiles? I think the idyllic setting and fireplaces in almost every room sealed the deal for me!

  2. Stunning views and idyllic setting. It looks like the perfect place to escape to. I do love the built-in book shelves and the eclectic, lived-in look.

  4. I'm crazy about your house tours! I love this place in Sweden! Especially because it looks like it evolved over time, there is so much to look at. Great gate too.

  8. I'm a big fan of having just tons of natural light and white pour into the house. Instant mood-lifter, if you ask me.
