Sweden

But I can imagine that the cozy covered alfresco dining room spotted in the online version of Swedish magazine Skona hem allows for leisurely lunches and dinners regardless of the weather.

Above is a glimpse of the interior of this pretty, whitewashed home. For more from Skona hem, go here.

Okay, very shortly about the story...

It is about a couple who bought an old fishermans house. Most of their things they buy in yardsells, antique stores and are real bargins. They buy them in Sweden, Belgium and France.

That looks like a converted carport! I think its a great idea.

Apparently this fishermen's house is right on the beach with a view of Öresund, the body of water separating Denmark and Sweden. The owners are constantly shopping flea markets across Europe. The spiral staircase is from Romania, for example...

When I used to play pretend "tea parties" as a child--I'm pretty sure this is what I was imagining.
