So proud to be scandinavian! The gustavian style is always inspirational to me...
Oh and for me too, I adore the patina and pretty shades! Thank you so much for leaving me a message, I am now your new follower! Warmest wishes - Glenda
I follow an italian blogger that is an artist, she likes gustavian style and she opened an atelier: http://shabbyechic.blogspot.com/search/label/Atelier%20Shabby%20%C3%A8%20Chic.
This is her home: http://shabbyechic.blogspot.com/search/label/La%20mia%20casa%20cambia
Maybe there's something for inspiration.
Bye Bye by Francy
Hello Glenda
I always look forward to receiving your latest posts: you have such a good eye for beautiful interiors and fabrics.
Today, however, I can't tear myself away from these beautiful images. I have admired Lars Sjoberg for many years and it is always a pleasure to revisit his beautiful interiors. Thank you too for the other links.

Can´t tell you, how i love this post - thank you sooooooooo much, for all your inspiration....i´ts really magical and i feel like i´m in heaven, when i visit you on your blog!!!!!! Have a wonderful day,
big hugs, Jade
Thankyou Glenda, for such lovely images...I especially love the pottery by Mari Kristofersson, so lovely and wonky! Robx
Tucked away in my ancestry is a bloodline that apparently has an 'Ultra Norse'gene. So it should come as no surprise that I should feel so drawn to the Scandinavian colour palette. Somehow it just looks so right. As ever you have chosen some rather ravishing images. I particularily love your little vintage ice skates. Please tell me what the paint colour is behind them, it looks ideal for my bedroom furniture.
Thank you so much Sue! So kind as always! I collect vintage ice skates and those are a particular favourite because of the verdigris! The paint shown is in our bedroom and won't be much use for furniture I'm afraid as it's Distemper. It was a shade that Fired Earth did (now no longer available sadly) called Salisbury Stone, the Distemper gives it a chalky soft bloom with a wonderful uneven tone. The nearest I could suggest would be Stony Ground 211 from Farrow and Ball. Don't go by their web site for the colour as it's not like it at all! If you have a look at the post showing our kitchen and see the last picture with a close up of the dresser with our blue and white china and glass votive - that shows the shade. Although it really depends on how your monitor see it I suppose!!! It is one of my favourite shades though as it's a warm beige/grey putty tone!
Glenda,
I can't express how much I have enjoyed this post!! So beautiful and you created this with such a wonderful eye for beauty and elegance!
I just love the Swedish style and interiors! I definitely will redo my dining room in the Swedish style some day!So this post will be a source of inspiration! Thank you so much Glenda!

Gustavian Style has always been an inspiration for me, like the straight line in the furniture but most the soft colors and patinas.Time to start shopping in Sweden for a change. Love the white and blue tile heathers with wonderful hand painted designs.
Wonderful post Glenda.
I'll be in your area Sunday & Monday, going to the Ant.Fair?
Johan
Thank you so much Johan and Greet, so very generous of you both! Greet with your elegant style I'm sure your dining room will be truly delicious! Johan sadly no I won't be going to the fair due to work commitments, how lovely it would have been to meet up and see the divine items you will be purchasing no doubt!
Beautiful inspiration from Sweden, the soft colours are so lovely, the design simple and elegant.
Love the vintage ice skates especially with the touch of verdigris:)

Such beautiful images, beautiful tones.. and I love the pottery.. lovely :) x
How totally fabulous. Those words in the title were definite buzz words for me as they delight every sense. I just love this whole palette and used delft tile in my old house and loved it every morning that I walked into my kitchen (the real delft not the copied stuff) And of course the colors associated with Gustavian style have always appealed strongly to me. Beautiful post!
Such beautiful images to start my morning...love the wonderful shades of the Gustavian style. Hope you have a great weekend!!
Oh !!Beautiful inspiration from Sweden !Thanks!
Monica
Scandinavian style has always been my favourite - perhaps due to my Finnish/Swedish heritage? Love those soft, muted shades of grey and blue :)
I love this soft worn look coupled with the grand crystal chandeliers. It is very beautiful!
Jennelise

Oh my goodness, how lovely all of these room settings are. They look so comfortable...that worn patina is fabulous.
Have a wonderful day,
Stephanie Suzanne ♥
Glenda,
This style speaks to my soul. It is beautiful. I also love the soft muted colors i.e. the chalky stone or grey color palette mixed with the blue and the rustic look that the floors give the rooms. I have always loved the Swedish furnace (I think that is what it is called?) There is nothing in these rooms that I don't absolutely adore! Now, if only I were a rich woman. LOL
Kris
Love all of this Glenda!
The last image is my favourite. I love these Mora clocks and the colours are wonderful in all the photos!

Hi Glenda, great post! I too love Scandinavian style. I also think the colours suit our northern climate. I love the delft tiles around the fireplace and the painted panelling on the walls. It's all so very inspiring, thankyou! Have a lovely weekend, love Linda x

Absolutely beautiful! Love every single of these images. I used Dutch delft tiles in my last home that I imported and I just loved them. The subtle coloration and wonderful patina in all these images is so exquisite - fabulous choices.
Thank you Glenda, truly scrumptious images. I'm quite taken with the collage you put together with the Zoffany painting that includes that lovely red colour.
Thank you once again for the marvellous inspiration
Hello Glenda
Again you have excelled with this superb post. It has so much, I will re-visit it again and again. I particularly love the the room from English cottage interiors with the blue and white border.
Thank you Glenda, have a beautiful week

Oh, I have spent most of the afternoon reading your blog and looking at all the wonderful photos going back months! I am drooling! Will definitely be returning and often!
Thank you so much for such lovely messages!
Dear Glenda,
Thank you for all the nice comments you leva me! You are so generous, thank you. You know I adore your work and blog, so it means a lot to me. I sat here the other evening looking at this last entry you had posted. Again, I was so impressed. Thought I'd write a few words, but was interrupted again. The Gustavian style exudes the kind of peace. The simplicity, the shape and details of the furniture and especially the colors, it appeals to me very much! I have always chosen, white, gray, blue, beige colours for my interior. I Do not know the if it has been a conscious choice, but I'm always drawn to them. It creates balance, especially with gold, yellow or brown. Green also .. I have a book that is worth mentioning, "Classic Swedish Interiors", written by Lars Sjøberg. Do you know him? The book has wonderful pictures of old houses he has renovated, aesthetics it is breathtaking!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Friendly, Aina
Nice post. All the interior collections are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
