If you're a long-term follower of My Scandinavian Home, you'll almost certainly have heard of
Kristin Lagerkvist. Kristin is a content creator with the most beautiful, relaxed sense of style and runs a
store in Varberg, on Sweden's west coast, through which she sells lovely linen clothing. She also has an impeccable eye for interiors, creating spaces that blend Scandinavian design with a laid-back bohemian touch.
I first featured her Swedish home back in 2016, and since then she has also bought and lovingly renovated a house in France, which I've shared here and here. Today, I read that she is selling her Swedish home in pursuit of new adventures. I'm not sure what they are just yet, but I can't wait to see where life takes her next. Until then, I thought we'd take a fresh peek inside her home, ten years on from when I first featured it.
And what a home it is. Built in 1926 in the elegant Swedish Grace style, the yellow villa is brimming with character, both inside and out. There are beautiful original details at every turn, a pool and greenhouse nestled among the roses and lilacs, and, of course, Kristin's signature blend of Scandinavian simplicity and relaxed bohemian style, which makes the whole place feel effortlessly warm and inviting.
Ready to take a peek?
Such a dream!
It must feel like the end of an era for Kristin and her family. But I'm sure whatever they do next will be exciting! You can see more pictures and find out details about the sale and viewings
here.
I'm especially envious of the garden. I love gardening and do my best with our summer cottage garden, but the soil is almost entirely sand, which makes it rather challenging! I dream of creating an English country garden right here in Scandinavia, filled with billowing peonies, hydrangeas and other romantic blooms. To me, that would be the best of both worlds! Do you enjoy gardening too?
A special mention, too, for the beautiful dining area and those blue and green doors - I absolutely love the tones.
Was there anything that particularly stood out to you?
It's a busy day here as we've been packing for our summer cottage, and Alice and I will be hitting the road this evening. The rest of the gang will follow in time for Midsummer celebrations on Friday - my favourite day of the year! Will you be celebrating too?
