Guesthouse in Oslo

Good Monday morning, precious readers. Had a nice weekend?
Today we are going to the island of Tjome, on the west side of the Oslo Fjord. Elisabeth and Christer Heitun have lived here for 20 years. This red wooden house with white shutters, surrounded by birch, pine, lilac bushes and fruit trees is their Scandinavian style guesthouse. There's a bedroom and a living/dining room, and an open sitting area on the side. Most of the furniture is second hand or found at flea markets. Come and see!

Colourful Home in Norway

Some of you tired of my all white posts? Well, today I bring you lots of colour! Just on the outskirts of Oslo, Anne has created an inspiring and personal home. As Anne describes it: "The house had the worst sides of the 50's and 70's:dirt brown linoleum in and a mixture of mustard yellow and military green on the walls."No gloomy rooms now: bright, cheerful colours are a theme that runs through the house.






Mismatched painted chairs and stools around the kitchen table.


From the living room you reach the terrace, which is decorated with flea market finds, including an old whitewashed hospital bed.

Not many photographs, I'm afraid. I may add a second post today. Thanks for stopping by, dears!
