i remember my parents bought our summer house when i was in college. it's +100 years old, none of the walls touch the ceiling, and it's full of tiny nooks for even tinier beds. at first, i was confused by this purchase. now? it's my favorite place in the world. these types of places force you outside, force you on top of each other, force you into games and conversations and early mornings. i got engaged there, i had my bachelorette party there, and we did our little mini moon there. it is my happiest place, and this piece brought me there immediately. so beautiful julia <3 your summer house one day, i'm sure, will be absolute perfection!!!

Oh I can just imagine how special that place is - to you and to everyone who gets to visit. These places are like portals to other worlds, no? Crossing my fingers patiently

This was so charming, Julia! As someone who’s always lived about 10 minutes from the ocean, the idea of a summer house was always lovely, but never necessary I suppose. But I adore everything about this concept, especially how quaint and beautiful it looks to be in Sweden.

Oh how lucky to be so close to the ocean! As I'm sure you know, Stockholm is basically a city in the middle of the archipelago, but there's something really special about going out the "real" archipelago, nature, serenity...

Oh a summer house in skärgården - soooo dreamy! My uncle has a summer house near the sea here in Denmark where we used to hang out with our cousins in the summer when we were kids. Such good memories. Hope you will be able to create similar memories for your nephew and your own kids one day!

Your descriptions sound so magical and I'm so eager to see your future summer home!

In my area, summer homes range from the wildly glamorous to the shabby, and I've always preferred the latter!

To me, what's most important is that it's a place where you and you loved ones can relax. If I felt like everything needed to be spotless or like too much time was spent living up to a certain standard, that would take away from just being x
