What do you get when you mix the Scandinavian style with more earthy African touches?
This beautiful home.
A Swedish couple settled in Somerset West near Cape Town, built this Cape Dutch style home and furnished and decorated it in such a simple, yet stylish way
The dining room is sparsely furnished, yet warm and inviting.
The African sun streams into the entrance hall.
The kitchen - light and bright.
Love the old kist at the foot of the bed and the wine barrel used as a side table.
Beautiful basins.
Gorgeous home!!! There is a restaurant here that serves Italian food anyways the style is just like this home! The chairs to all the tables are exactly like these ones and they are so comfortable. I told my husband that i want these chairs!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love love this style!

ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love it when cultures meet in a happy marriage like this. I can definitely see the Dutch/Belgian influences in the interior and they are very close to my beloved Swedish aesthetic, just a tad 'quieter'.
Thank you for sharing this. I am keeping several images in my Pinterest bank.
