Located in Sweden, the 4-story home overlooking the sea was built in 1916, but the owner André Waldhör spent three years renovating the space. It's obvious he considered the history of the home, it has so much historical charm! And get this...all the furniture in the home was bought used or found in a landfill! I have to say though my favorite part is the <a href="http://www.justscandinavian.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?q=josef+frank&limit=all" target="_blank">Josef Frank</a> wallcoverings (<span style="font-style: italic;">Vårklockor</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Eldblomma</span>), and of course all the turquoise trim!

Wonder why! This gem designed by <a href="http://www.bpc-architecture.com/" target="_blank">BPC Architecture</a>, <a href="http://www.crossripdevelopment.com/" target="_blank">Cross Rip Development</a>, and <a href="http://donnaelle.com/" target="_blank">Donna Elle Interior Design</a> was built from scratch to give the lucky owners full advantage of the amazing ocean views. They also wanted the look of a Nantucket beach cottage that had evolved over time, as well as a casual vacation retreat with a sophisticated vibe. That's exactly what they got, I'd say! Donna Elle was inspired by the colors outside for her palette of white, soft blue, and gray, and chose elegant yet durable furnishings that could withstand wet bathing suits and sandy feet. Pretty sweet, huh?? Dream home all the way! You can read the story all about the home and see the photos by <a href="http://www.natrea.com/" target="_blank">Nat Rea</a> over at <a href="http://www.bostonmagazine.com/articles/lands_end/" target="_blank">Boston Magazine</a>!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

I love how the beautiful walnut flooring ties the space together. Is that bathroom not incredible?! That's some seriously cool glass mosaic tile action there! LOVE it!<br /><br />Oh and thanks so much for all of your birthday wishes for Chris!! He loved reading them!
