Are you a cat or a dog person? On the blog lately it has felt like ‘the week of the cats’ – I think someone counted four in Wednesday’s tour. And who am I to mess with a theme?
So today, allow ‘puss-in-boots’ (*not real name) and his feline friend, to give you a tour of their Swedish country home. His owner, Marie Envik has done a wonderful job creating a lovely living space for her family with plenty of places to relax (loving the built-in bench in the kitchen and the sitting room). It is also filled with wallpaper and wood panelling to give the space a hint of timeless country appeal.
But what stood out to me the most, is the nook in the children’s room. It was often used in the olden days when many would share a room (a curtain was used to create privacy) – and often seen today in Swedish summer cottages where people bunk up overnight. It’s no secret that children love to feel cosy and safe, so this idea translates well in today’s world too – and makes the most of an awkward angled ceiling too!
Ready to take the tour? Puss-in-boots, please lead the way!
I have to say, I also love the ledge in the bathroom (we could do with something like this in our bathroom) and the green front door – what a difference it makes!
Is there anything that stood out to you?
See more of Marie’s lovely home over on her instagram at @livetochbygget.
Note – I had another post planned for today but had to do a quick U-turn, hence why I have shared two country homes in a row. I hope you have felt inspired all the same and I look forward to sharing a big variety of inspiring spaces with you next week.
Shall we take a look at a few more homes with bed nooks today, here are some in all shapes and sizes:
Is that our cue to get lots of sleep or R&R this weekend? I think so! Have a wonderful, relaxing few days – thank you so much for joining this week.
Kram!
