Before and After: A Swedish Attic Apartment Gets a Cosy Makeover

As I roll through the snow Swedish countryside on route to the Stockholm Furniture Fair  today, I thought I’d stop by to share a wonderful renovation project a few hours north of the capital. Josefine Gunhamre, her husband Rikard and their four legged friends Buddy and Frank rent the top floor of her parent’s house in Lexe, just outside Gävle. With it’s own entrance, stairwell, kitchen and bathroom, the 65 m2 / 700 f2 apartment is completely separate from the rest of the house. Tucked under the roof, the angles can be tricky to navigate, but with a lot of work, Josefine and Rikard have made great use of the space they have, and transformed a dated space into a cosy, warm and inviting living space.

What a fantastic transformation! They have turned a fairly dated, non-descript space into a really cosy home! 
Is there anything that stood out to you? 
See more of Josefine’s home updates over at @josefinegunhamre and take a look in the before and after archive for a ton more incredible renovations! 
The internet connection is so poor on this train that I’m going to keep it short and sweet! Wishing you a great Wednesday! If you’d like to follow my visit to the Stockholm Furniture Fair, head on over to my instagram stories for the latest updates!
