Every summer, Swedish journalist, blogger and writer and her family swap their busy Stockholm lives for a slower pace on the beautiful island of Gotland. Long summer days are spent relaxing at their cottage, ambling along to the nearby beach or entertaining on their big pink bus (yes, really!). Welcome to Emma’s delightful vintage world!

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 !
Who needs a coffee table when you can use two vintage suitcases* (with built-in storage too!).
The bedroom has been simply decorated in a white, green (the shade looks similar to ‘‘) 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 wallpaper from BoråsTapater.
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?!
Check out more truly lovely Gotland cottages here:
And keep an eye on Emma’s blog and for snapshots from her life on Gotland and Sweden’s capital city.
Have a dreamy day friends!
