a swedish christmas home

This small house in Sweden has stunning views of the sea. In summer days are mainly enjoyed outside. But it is just as beautiful in winter time when Mille and Christian and their two girls celebrate Christmas with food and lots of candlelight in their cozy home.

The house is not big, but feels airy and spacious. A large pot with branches of conifers and Christmas decorations are a nice complement to the Christmas tree.

Christmas decorations can be found through the entire house.

a house surrounded by olive trees

This gorgeous house built from stones is located in the South of Italy. It is designed by architect Marco Costanzi. Various star shaped light installations created by Fratelli Parisi can be found throughout the house and outdoor area.

The outdoor area which is surrounded by olive trees and stone wall blends perfectly into the landscape.

The living room doubles as a sleeping area (on the mezzanine). Spartan furniture reflects the spirit of place. The rustic yet stunning bathroom sink is carved from a block of stone.
