If you don't know this about me already, I lost my mind last year and chose to co-lead a Troop of crazy, energetic, smart, adorable Girl Scouts. One activity that is part of Girl Scout tradition is Thinking Day. It involves researching, learning, and presenting about a particular country of the girls' choosing. This year, my group of girls chose Iceland.In helping the girls explore the facts about Iceland, my curiosity about how Icelanders live got the better of me. So I did my own research. I pinned so many pictures that I couldn't pick just a few for this blog - which means Iceland will be featured again so I can show you my favorites. I'm trying to figure out how I can get an Icelandic client there so I can go see them for myself. (Hello Inga - my one and only Icelandic friend - are you reading this?!)
This little jewel of a home in a peaceful, middle-of-nowhere field had me charmed at Hello. The yellow trim, the plants potted in galvanize buckets - it looks like something out of a fairy tale. When you look inside, every space was so well used. There's nothing lacking for it's smallness.
 |
| Outdoor living - look at those green, rolling views. |
 |
| Vintage storage and colorful rain boots - welcome home! Inside is a very well appointed vintage-style kitchen - bead board and turquoise lower cabinets. Everything in site and ready for use. |
 |
| Simple furnishings, open shelving, color and flair. It even has a TV - can you spot it? Nothing extraneous. The entry "vestibule" is separated by a simple cotton curtain. |
 |
| Even the wood-burning stove gets its own flair with oversized candle-sticks and artwork. |
 |
| Cozy seating area - I love all the light it let's in yet they created coziness by painting the back wall black. |
 |
| Pretty display of kitchen items - again nothing is lacking. Such a vintage feel. |
 |
| Small cozy bedroom. I would love to take a book and a blanket to this little sitting area outside. |
What do you think so far? Adorable - yes? Well stay-tuned some other very unique Icelandic spaces coming soon!
