Charlotte's House





I have a lovely reader friend in Sweden who I actually posted about last year. Her name is Charlotte and she recently emailed me some pictures of her house which she has just finished decorating. I absolutely LOVE her children's rooms - so fresh, simple, stylish and homey! Charlotte loves vintage furniture and especially loves fossicking in flea markets for anything which catches her eye. She purchased the bed above on Ebay and painted it a crisp white - what a difference a bit of white paint can make! Swedish magazine "Villaagaren" recently featured a story on Charlotte and her tips on flea market fossicking. These images above were featured in the story and were taken by Photographer Martin Olson. I hope you enjoy Charlotte's menagerie of beautiful things!
Oh and I must thank her for including 'Absolutely Beautiful Things' in her list of inspiring websites which is published at the bottom of the article - very sweet!!

    I just love your blog. Thank you for bringing many beautiful things to one beautiful blog. I am never surprised what paint can do. My favorite decorating element, or would that be fabric.....

    Charlotte's design is very welcoming.

    When I was a wee little one, my favorite memory to this day, is of a dress in a "dotted swiss". red and gray. I loved that dress and I had cordovan red mary-janes. I felt *special. :)


    * Charlotte made this room special too!
    Love the playful dots!
