Sometimes, or quite often really, I dream of a house. A nice big house with at least 6 rooms. Perferably near a lake or the sea and with lots of trees and garden life around it. I love old Swedish houses! And I think this kind of decor style fits them gorgeously well…Some walls painted [...]
Simple. Country style is summer. Thinking back to my childhood, the clearest memories invlove endless summers, summer houses and Grandma’s strawberry cake. Swimming in a lake or river, rag rugs on the floor and sun shining on the Swedish flag. Freshly-picked flowers all around in vases, and eating vegatables straight from the fields. OK, I’m [...]

Sometimes, the city life gets a bit wearisome. Too many people, too little space..What suits better then, than to take a glimpse into the life of blogger Jonna Jinton. She’s the 21 year old city girl who decided to leave town and move to the remote far Northern Sweden countryside. She found herself a new [...]
To me, this apartment is very much contemporary Swedish interior style. Not necessarily the most trendy style, but a great representation of what constitutes Swedish (city) style today. The white walls (of course), the wide-plank pine floors, the stillness and the subdued. Clean, pretty and light with modest details. Warming elements such as the candles [...]
From my urban-Swedish position I continue to examine the trendification of the countryside. Here’s another fresh and inspiring example. An urban career couple with a nice Stockholm apartment stumbled upon a very rickety, even dilapidated, timber cottage from the year 1792.
