I hope you’re having a great week! The warm weather has finally arrived in Southern Sweden so we’ve spending lots of time down outdoors making the most of it! The leaves have burst into life, and a drive through North Skåne countryside yesterday reminded me so much of a trip I once made to Finland. Have you ever been? I remember feeling mesmerised by the rolling hills, the wildflowers and my first sighting of a moose grazing in a meadow. It was magical! I wish I’d known about this rural home owned by Hanna and her husband Tomas and their children Frans, Hilda and Eedvin at the time of the trip, it would have been perfect for my Relaxed Rustic book (formerly known as ‘Modern Pastoral’).  Located in Western Finland, the rustic farmhouse is filled with beautiful vintage and antique finds against a backdrop of 17th century architecture and romantic wallpaper. When the family aren’t tending to their sheep and chickens, the children are tearing through the rooms on a trike – just as Tomas’ family have done for generations. In the words of the Finns: tervetuloa sisään! 

How magical! 

I love the Scandi rustic country style, do you? 

I think I’m secretly a country girl at heart! 

Other Finnish homes to love today: 

A hideaway in the Finnish archipelago 

Have a lovely day!
