23 & me tells me i’m 7.3% swedish. specifically some place called dalarna county. i’m going to embrace it for a minute….
do i belong here? should i decorate like my people? i have to tell you i’m not a huge fan of that scandi lewk.
here’s my version of my swedish life:
vintage yellow floral wallpaper - 1 roll only. i wish there were more! a teeny (really teeny) bathroom? closet?
gilt mirror - 3k though??! come through craigslist.
swedish landscape painting - not a bad price for an original, signed, framed oil painting of this size.
farrow and ball breakfast room green - i prefer color to the washed out scandi look. pale floors though. i’m into that.
gustavian style sofa - again with color. and i would absolutely pair this with some vintage modern leather something. or mohair velvet. or both.
tribal turkish rug - not swedish but giving me swedish vibes. i usually don’t connect to the typical swedish kilims - ikea basically ruined that for me.
alllllll the pressed botanicals.
a big ol beautiful sparkly chandelier is a must.
painted swedish drop leaf table - you’d be hard pressed to find a prettier table. but i could GO to sweden and find something similar and paint it myself for less than the cost of this one. jesus people! my swedish life is expensive.
a little wicker never hurt nobody.
the cutest cheeky delft tiles. look closely at them. there’s a modern twist. i’d use these in a kitchen for real.
