Have you heard of the program ‘Through the keyhole’? It’s a TV show I used to watch growing up where they would take you on a tour of someone’s home and you’d have to guess who lived there. I often think back to this and wonder – ‘is my home personal and unique enough that there would be enough clues to who my family and I are?’ I would hope so. 

When I stumbled across this home on Historiska Hem, it swept me up into the world of an artist and book lover – perhaps a thespian, or someone who loves amateur dramatics. I could imagine them pouring over tomes for inspiration, tinkering with a paintbrush while listening to jazz with a fire crackling away – and the distant buzz of Stockholm city life in the background. 

Whoever lives here also has a fine collection of furniture. From centuries old hand painted cabinets to mid-century chairs – the collection spans several hundred years and has been picked up from places all over the world, telling the story of a life well lived. Ready to pour over the details? Welcome inside a Swedish artist’s world! 

A fascinating home! So many details to discover, and truly unique in a wonderful way! 

I’d love to hear what you discovered about this home – I’m sure I have missed many clues. 

Curious to see a few more artists homes today? 

Wow, I got a little carried away there – and there are tons more in the archive if you simply search for ‘artist’. I do love the home of a creative, always deeply personal and interesting. 

I hope you have a wonderful few days lined up ahead – we’re heading up to our summer cottage for a couple of days to make the most of what is likely to be the final heatwave of the summer (considering setting my alarm at sunrise so I don’t miss a second of it – need to have my batteries fully charged before the light starts to fade and autumn sets in! Do you sense my unease?). 

Thank you so much for stopping by and for sharing all your thoughts and observations in the comments, I am so happy to be a part of this positive, likeminded MSH community, it really means the world! 

Niki
