Swedish Serenity

I know it’s been awhile since I have shared photos of my home, so I snapped a few today for this post. I was feeling inspired by some of the blogs out there I finally got around to paying a visit too. (I’m so sorry my dear friends, I know I don’t visit you nearly enough!)

I’ve been drawn to the simple and serene tones of Swedish decor for the last year or two. I would LOVE to have an all white front room and bedroom, but I’m afraid the dark pet hair from my sweet Hannah, Annabelle, and Mason will not allow it. I am however, getting closer and closer to what I want it to be.

There is my sweet Annabelle (above) peeking in from the front porch. Just look at that face… I don’t think I could sacrifice the love I feel for (and from) the three of them for a pristine house. The endless shedding is well worth the reward. :)

So for now, I’ll just have to take selective pictures, edit out the pet hair, and let you all *think* I live in a pristine, and pretty home. :) Pretty tricky, aren’t I? Tee hee he.

Claudia - Beautiful! I love your style. I am trying to go a bit lighter, but have lots of wood, so I lighten it up where I can. I have two long haired dogs who are major shedders, so I totally understand your situation. We love them so much that we just ‘adjust.’

Shannan - I never tire of seeing shots of your home! Do you read the Lettered Cottage blog? You would love it.

Secret Leaves - Hi Sara. Just stopping by to say hello. These shots are beautiful, as is your home. There is something peaceful about a white on white palette.

I wish you were nearby–a magazine is coming to shoot my studio and I could SO use some help staging it–it’s something that I am, apparently, not very good at!

Anyway, lovely things and photography as usual.

Sharon
