Sorry for some extended silence – I just got back from a few days in Florida with my kids and husband. Great little break – but I think my trip away made me crave some natural finishes and paired down scale. I saw (i.e drove by) so many over the top mansions by the beach.

Here’s a country home outside of Stockholm where architect Martina Eriksson lives. This house is beautifully done – it’s simple, natural, and filled with some really interesting details (I love the wicker pendant in the living room, the open tread wooden staircase, the outdoor shower, mix of modern and rustic…). I imagine living in this house would feel like a real escape.
