When I saw these lovely Swedish painted chairs in the latest Home Beautiful magazine (February) I was sold. Well, the magazine was, actually. The home featured (pages 84 to 93) belongs to an
Orrefors glass designer in southern Sweden. I adore Swedish interiors, particularly the use of worn painted furniture such as the above mix of chairs to the
Gustavian couch below. Most of this interior is white, with
splashes of blue.
The
Gustavian couch is wonderful and is a highlight in the loungeroom. We will be on the hunt for one or two of these on our next buying trip (wish us luck!). The owner made the cushions herself including hand-printing the fabric.
I am not sure if I love the carpet, but it is bold, I guess. However I think an all-white interior like this is bold in itself.
What a roomy bathroom! The floor is stencilled concrete. At first glance it appears to be tiles.
The bedroom is also very roomy! It looks to be a calming place to rest the weary head each night. Overall, this home is light and airy and looks to be a delight to live in! What does everyone else think?

Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteThose chairs are beautiful, aren't they? I love white interiors as well, if truth be told I'm crazy about them. I also love the Gustavian couch and in particular the frames on the wall behind the couch. I would love to do something like that here at home....I seem at the moment to have really big pictures, but I think to add smaller ones in a group like this is something that won't date!
Who knew you could make concrete look as though it had been tiled. The owner did a wonderful job. Mmmmmm I'm with you Tammy, not sure the blue and white rug is something I love. I actually think because the sides are uneven it would drive me bonkers. I could picture me late at night with a pair of scissors evening those sides up. lol
Thanks for sharing and I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Will call in again soon.
Take care
