It’s one of those days where I’m completely behind with E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G and I know that in any minute the children are going to fly through the door from school. Gaaaaah! Before they do, I’m going to reward myself with a moment of pure inspiration – I hope you’ll find it inspiring too! Welcome to Anna Wallendahr’s stunning country home in Lohjansaari, Southern Finland – “the land of a thousand lakes and breath-taking nature”. A photographer and cafe owner, Anna captures breathtaking snapshots of her home and life in Finland which she shares on her instagram @aamuomenatarhassa. She lives with husband Jussi, who works in IT and runs gypsy brewery Ö brewing, two daughters Josefina (10) and Elise (6), three cats and 10 chickens. A former schoolhouse, the family home dates back to1898 and is blessed with 3.5-metre-high ceilings, spacious rooms and large windows. Anna and Jussi are renovating the house bit by bit – sharing their projects as they go. Here are some of my favourite corners. 

Sometimes Anna finds the many doors, windows and high ceiling a challenge. The living room took her a year to decorate – a make-over which included creating a windowsill that spans the length of the room. The result is stunning – and a perfect place for the cats to sit and gaze out of the window! 

Although only temporary (Anna plans on potentially painting the wood with deep / dark egg tempura paint), there’s something beautiful about the wood walls in the master bedroom, don’t you think? 

Stunning.  

I can certainly see why Anna feels lucky to live where she does. The house is hauntingly beautiful – and the scenery is simply breath-taking! 

Could you imagine living here?

If you don’t already follow Anna on instagram, it’s a must! You can find it right here. 

And here are a few other schoolhouses to love:

Oh wow, now that I’ve started the search, I’ve found loads of them! Pour yourself a coffee, put up your feet and check out the archive here!

Have a lovely day!

PS I think I may have made it – no sign of the children yet – PHEW!
