A wonderful white and wood holiday home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I hope you had a lovely weekend? If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know one of my long term dream is to buy and do up a summer cottage by a lake in Sweden (do you share a similar dream?). My moodboards for this dream home are endless but once thing's for sure, I'll be adding this home. Designed by Frag Woodall, the concept is basic, drawing on natural materials and light and keeping to a simple palette of black, white and wood.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoiK7Vk48TR4ROQHljdWpzURSlZ37jvWTJ5XpkgET9JJArfnPQOmJNctd4EOii6X_Vuze0KWVcfjkdXdFjqxRfyUTTVspRLi4Ob8BdfXRv7dexO6LQXPy0k3DszBLH6aQfYV_aE9kIx9Y/s1600/ter1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoiK7Vk48TR4ROQHljdWpzURSlZ37jvWTJ5XpkgET9JJArfnPQOmJNctd4EOii6X_Vuze0KWVcfjkdXdFjqxRfyUTTVspRLi4Ob8BdfXRv7dexO6LQXPy0k3DszBLH6aQfYV_aE9kIx9Y/s1600/ter1.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0uiJpMLmd5ieJjqZZIukbVSAkHoRTqX1iS4UEZKnfUn-bpXGBmUAPiWLoJFAhaJIx0V2IWY7fLftBgdFXgkl_TB9zEbWmKExT4rpsnaM8O4KCO88iO3uCgFRWMQZVlgOzNM9UM8R6KE/s1600/ter3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0uiJpMLmd5ieJjqZZIukbVSAkHoRTqX1iS4UEZKnfUn-bpXGBmUAPiWLoJFAhaJIx0V2IWY7fLftBgdFXgkl_TB9zEbWmKExT4rpsnaM8O4KCO88iO3uCgFRWMQZVlgOzNM9UM8R6KE/s1600/ter3.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfFy_5jXZqWFItg8R6m8JA8Y4RlyCY-8jbv4TeywQAGn4Lv01gzVO8tOr3KYnknuRVKvtnQkUU3P9mjyW9L8YpOsH_XGromGZvBZQhE3qKUaB4hOJRa6Ijfo-4yBZWRN13q-vK_DZhs8/s1600/ter2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfFy_5jXZqWFItg8R6m8JA8Y4RlyCY-8jbv4TeywQAGn4Lv01gzVO8tOr3KYnknuRVKvtnQkUU3P9mjyW9L8YpOsH_XGromGZvBZQhE3qKUaB4hOJRa6Ijfo-4yBZWRN13q-vK_DZhs8/s1600/ter2.png" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobhjC5qCu-0GR5bjChX_8XcvI6F1IaRHdYjuk6Xc5-FRr1NpiXaHXWuGzdeuZ59zoOXylDVyXIMGKv5MZ0jnjqyaLQUR8G3By3rGgJO7yiKZNLWMNKjmqT2hP16-maqU3wFMYMktPQAg/s1600/ter4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobhjC5qCu-0GR5bjChX_8XcvI6F1IaRHdYjuk6Xc5-FRr1NpiXaHXWuGzdeuZ59zoOXylDVyXIMGKv5MZ0jnjqyaLQUR8G3By3rGgJO7yiKZNLWMNKjmqT2hP16-maqU3wFMYMktPQAg/s1600/ter4.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Frag Woodall, photographer <a href="http://www.terencechin.com/" target="_blank">Terence Chin </a>with kind permission.
