Romantic Home in Norway

Second post today. And in stark contrast to the all masculine home I posted earlier today, I take you to Norway to see this romantic and feminine home.

Potted Plants in a Dreamy Home

You might have heard of Pinterest, a place where you can keep and catalogue pictures you like. I love to see which photographs from Inspiring Interiors people have chosen to pin. If you'd like to see them (over 200 pics!) all on one page just go here.

And now we are off to Norway to have a look at this 1921 country house. Love all the potted plants in every room.

Scandinavian Style Cottage

While sipping your Sunday morning coffee, or tea, or mate in my case, let's tour this dreamy cottage in Norway.

House of the Year 2009

As you might know, Norwegian Magazine Bolig holds a contest each year to choose the best house of the year. In 2009 the winner was this country house in Hokksund. It consists of three buildings: a main building from 1889, a brewery and a barn. In 2006 the Kvernstad family restored and renovated all three of them.

Perhaps my Norwegian readers could help me with the translation of the words and signs that appear in this house. Please? I did use an online translator but unfortunately they are still quite unreliable.


The main house


The barn which is now used to hold parties.












Does the wording at the top of the stairs say something about coming home? But of course, it's French and it says "Just like your home" Thanks, Chapstik Fanatic!




"Kisses and Hugs and Love" Got the top sentence. Help with the one below?

Thanks to reader Krn I now know that the headboard says (not in Norwegian, but Danish) "Kisses, hugs and love, it is the world's glory"

And Krn expands: "Written language in Norway in the 19th century was the Danish language. This is not surprising to see this on an old norwegian bed."





This is the inside of the barn. Rather dark I guess.

Renovated Home in Norway

Scandinavian style in this 1880's renovated home in Norway. A house full of memories. I love it when there are pictures of every room.








































Hope you are having a wonderful day. Let me know if you liked this tour.
