A charming rustic farmhouse in Skåne

If it's Scandinavian rustic charm you're after this incredible four sided 'Skånegård' (a traditional Skåne house that sits around a cobbled inner courtyard) this home is IT! Dating back to the 1700s, owners Gunilla and Sven Montan have painstakingly restored this farm house to its former glory. The half-timber structure, stone floors, whitewashed walls and carefully selected furniture work together to create a truly stunning home.

Wow! This is the second time time in the past few weeks I have completely fallen in love with a Skåne home. The first was here. There must be something in the Southern Sweden air! What do you think?

Before I love you to have a FAB weekend I'd like to say a big 'hej' to all lovely new My Scandinavian Home readers! If you've got the time I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas and if you have a blog we can all visit!

I'm also on Pinterest (way to much) and Facebook....see you there? :)

Trevlig helg!

Til The Cows Come Home

  This year for Halloween Henry was a cow (thanks to a sweet client).  I wanted to share pictures but it turns out photographing a 14 month old in a costume he does not want to be wearing is hard.  Out the camera came and up the street the mad cow headed....

 Up and down, up and down the neighbors stairs...

  After 2,000,000 20 rounds of this Ferdinand decided he might be persuaded to head back to the house...maybe we have this under control...

 Oh no, no.  Rule number one with a toddler- even when you think you do, you never really have things under control.  Another neighbors door- up and down, up and down.

By the time we finally made it back home it was time to head to a party and the mad cow won the picture battle that night.  However, we did snap (hallelujah) some shots while doing a test run last weekend so at least we have these.

On a side note thank you for the stroller recommendations, they were so helpful!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

White with splashes of colour

Back in Southern Sweden today and to celebrate I bring you this Swedish home which, yup you've guessed it, was recently for sale! The owners have used a white canvas and added a touch of country, mid century, modern,scandinavian designer and lashes of bright coloured accessories to create a beautiful, unique, light and relaxed home.

 I am particularly loving the chandelier! Anything that stands out for you?

As I was heading back to a decidedly colder Sweden last night I remembered a tip I was given by some Swedish friends on a ski trip. If it's minus temperatures outside, when you wake up in the morning don't wash your face. Instead allow the natural grease your body has produced as a base to protect your skin from the cold. Hmmmm.

Have you got any great tips on coping with the cold?!
