Hei! How are you today? Feel like getting away from it all? Today, I’m whisking you off to rural Finland and the charming bolthole of interior architect . Acquired 12 years ago as a weekend escape from Helsinki, Ilkka and Janne have carefully renovated the country home to bring it back to its former glory. Think high ceilings, beautiful wood floors and rooms painted in deep charcoal and steel grey. Today, the home is a goldmine of Finnish antiques and vintage finds and packed with charm. Welcome to Ilkka and Janne’s age-old country retreat!
How beautiful! I love the relaxed, eclectic feel of the home.
Did you have a favourite room? I’ve always had a real weakness for romantic style bathrooms. Imagine locking up your city apartment, coming out here to the quiet of the countryside and running a candlelit bath. Heaven!
This takes me back to the day I captured a home for deep in the heart of the Finnish countryside. And there was a moose grazing in the meadows beside the house.
I’ve been wanting to return ever since – something for next summer perhaps? Have you ever been to Finland?
If you’re after a little more Finnish dreaming today, here are a few other homes to love:
Have a cosy day!
