An Idyllic Swedish Summer Cottage (and Caravan) on Gotland
// affiliated links marked with *// |
The Swedish summer cottage is known for being pared-back and understated. A clutch of simple wild flowers, a vintage jug and oil lamp is all this pretty table setting needs!
Pick up a vintage oil lamp here* - or for a more modern take, I'm a big fan of the Klong*!
The lavender garland is so pretty - yet so simple to make, plus you could create one to match any season!
Emma added the larder using the same materials and paint for a seamless fit with the traditional style kitchen. A Smeg fridge freezer also makes a great retro addition!
I love this little vintage mirror, it's a perfect way to brighten up a hallway (it helps to bounce light around) and the shelf creates just enough space for a vase of wild flowers!
The bedroom has been simply decorated in a white, green (the shade looks similar to 'Restful Le Havre') and dark wood scheme - flowers add a lovely pop of colour!
One of the children's bedrooms has been decorated in the same colour.
Pick up a similar vintage school poster here*.
Emma has covered one wall in the top bedroom with the super pretty Carnation Garden wallpaper from BorÄsTapater.
There's additional space for guests in a fab retro caravan. And supper is sometimes served on Emma's pink bus!
What a beautiful way to spend the summer!
Pink bus anyone?!
