Have you ever daydreamed of moving to Europe… or better yet, Scandinavia? I am utterly taken with this beautiful home in Sweden and thought it would be fun to make believe we are house hunting in Sweden for the day!
I love the soft, white light throughout this home and the herbs growing in the kitchen window. I think I even see a little dishwasher, so I know I could live here! {smiles} Three years in Morocco and two in Spain without a dishwasher makes that a priority on my list!
The soft grey on the walls is something I have contemplated for my own home as well. It is so subtle, don’t you think?
I think the only thing I might change is the flooring… you know I have an affection for herringbone floors or those painted white! Anyone else ready to pack their bags and head to Sweden?
What are the features in a new home that you just could not live without? Do you need a bathtub, a walk in closet, or maybe a little patch of dirt for flowers?

Looks lovely – and yes, I´m biased as the swede I am..!
Hey hey!
(I think I haven’t commented before but I follow you for quite some time now.)
I would say proper heating.
I would hate to be cold. I have experienced this while living on the north of Spain, I thought well in Spain I couldn’t be cold, but in the winter just below Pyrenees it was horrible.
And a lot of modern houses and apartments in EU today, offer just floor heating, but that is just not enough.

A dishwasher, lots of natural light, at least one large open space/room, and an outdoor access point (balcony or yard) make up my list of must-haves. I often joke that the dishwasher is my favorite appliance, but then I think about the clothes washer, lol!
Funny you should say that—I just submitted my application for a Swedish residency permit this morning and that house looks PERFECT for us
.
I love the clean lines of Scandanavian homes. Our bedroom is grey and white and I wish I could redesign our entire apartment to have the same modern feel. I’m packing my bags with you!
I agree – beautiful! We are moving in a few months and I am so inspired by the clean look of this home. Nice eye candy, for sure.
Househunting in norway is fun too!
gorgeous home!!! the white remarkabley gives it a cozy and warm feeling!!
Im not so brave…Now that I have a family ofmy own I need to have my family and parents nearby and the language barrier would be tricky although English is universal these days – it would be a wonderful experience! If I had loads of money Id move to London or New York haha…
I did move to the tiny island of Cyprus in my early 20′s and for a few years I had such a great time.
Yes! Constantly! It’s the only Scan. country I’ve traveled, so I’m partial… and one of my closest friends lives there. So, I’ll take it!
Rick says NO way, not enough sunshine & heat. His Italian heritage calls for sweaty climates. Beautiful shots of such a serene spot. The grey is a really nice change from all the tan & taupe that are typical neutrals. More daydreaming, please!
I LOVE all white and have always dreamed of having a house in white and pale grey, but have all boys so that is a no go. But hey, a girl can dream!
I would love to live in Sweden. It was one place my husband visited often when we lived in Germany but I never had a chance to visit. For fun I recently started learning basic Swedish!
Just in case I ever get a chance to go!
