Ylva Skarp's Christmassy home

I seem to be in country mode at the moment as I simply can't stop showing beautiful homes from the <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search/label/country%20style%20living" target="_blank">Swedish countryside</a>! This converted school house over looking a lake near Leksand in <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&q=dalarna+sweden+map&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x4667d90f946ad8a7:0x3034506de8c8a90,Dalarna+County,+Sweden&ei=f4mXUMtl0MqyBoiEgJAH&ved=0CB8Q8gEwAA" target="_blank">Dalarna</a> was <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2012/11/a-charming-rustic-farmhouse-in-skane.html" target="_blank">also photographed</a> by <a href="http://magdalenabjornsdotter.se/" target="_blank">Magdalena Björnsdotter</a> for <a href="http://tidningenlantliv.se/2012/11/01/stamning-i-skolhuset/" target="_blank">Lantliv</a>. It's the home of Swedish designer and calligrapher <a href="http://shop.ylvaskarp.se/en/" target="_blank">Ylva Skarp</a> and her family. Ylva's personal stamp can be seen throughout the house, which is all decked out for a truly cosy Christmas!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGpTy74Bud0XjQuyF09YQmR6scxGuOg1RdlsyJ3pvo0ya9QASvq5RX9XXcks78Ch6ikqiES7oMoapXZogxJ7kHHHc9_Mp1qC1VkXKl9Od3GZYMqSIB9BxcI3io66jKKZWXurU1VqCJhI/s1600/ys3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I can't wait until the first weekend in December when we'll drive out to a farm in the Skåne countryside and chop down our Christmas tree (a family tradition always accompanied with a steaming mug of glögg (mulled wine).

A charming rustic farmhouse in Skåne

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If it's Scandinavian rustic charm you're after this incredible four sided 'Skånegård' (a traditional Skåne house that sits around a cobbled inner courtyard) this home is IT! Dating back to the 1700s, owners Gunilla and Sven Montan have painstakingly restored this farm house to its former glory. The half-timber structure, stone floors, whitewashed walls and carefully selected furniture work together to create a truly stunning home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dvF_kAaizvaYcEZWhvAqNqR9_n69j2DoAmh70kuGYz57Pge3UFm0YzOZu8OAxjZOMoYLui-MpXrCRf0Ks5591kUylc5Fkuio7gFiJESI6mtN2LHHIKeV9_0RC48fXQmWDM-zg2Ln56w/s1600/l4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dvF_kAaizvaYcEZWhvAqNqR9_n69j2DoAmh70kuGYz57Pge3UFm0YzOZu8OAxjZOMoYLui-MpXrCRf0Ks5591kUylc5Fkuio7gFiJESI6mtN2LHHIKeV9_0RC48fXQmWDM-zg2Ln56w/s1600/l4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieRRLaRzkJq4UCFaBg6IokguNXYAzqjA8V0mF6Z8Brl6TeYr6vCURobCXe_NoBkzNKa2TdC1g0wv4IsXwQHBF5cyb3Ff2ezf_QLmMvQpqADtr1q3tZfs9xWeFZcjxCAuZG9mBDVgSeJfQ/s1600/l5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieRRLaRzkJq4UCFaBg6IokguNXYAzqjA8V0mF6Z8Brl6TeYr6vCURobCXe_NoBkzNKa2TdC1g0wv4IsXwQHBF5cyb3Ff2ezf_QLmMvQpqADtr1q3tZfs9xWeFZcjxCAuZG9mBDVgSeJfQ/s1600/l5.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmq3aNH6z1anW7-oAuAjImW_6n_Db2K0zG7OnKsMgY_l5pPtNuGhFYNjCy5x4euGVPJEHt_FoiXiXEGTn-2JRKkXmeSPL-9t9t4y9_aIavAkhO7uAckDYqnd7NP0nyv95BhpdGinJSJI/s1600/l6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmq3aNH6z1anW7-oAuAjImW_6n_Db2K0zG7OnKsMgY_l5pPtNuGhFYNjCy5x4euGVPJEHt_FoiXiXEGTn-2JRKkXmeSPL-9t9t4y9_aIavAkhO7uAckDYqnd7NP0nyv95BhpdGinJSJI/s1600/l6.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3LFi9FH4WPYRifFQ1WeHmj_F-0I72M_Ovamzr0O3P9Ne-0PkRnQj6HiNwpu6XGRW2uNySq1dFF39AujmYJlytbsKh0QP3J7pQziUDkB12LneziGq1Vowhpt9eRlwgYF5fQPEZIP_60hw/s1600/L1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3LFi9FH4WPYRifFQ1WeHmj_F-0I72M_Ovamzr0O3P9Ne-0PkRnQj6HiNwpu6XGRW2uNySq1dFF39AujmYJlytbsKh0QP3J7pQziUDkB12LneziGq1Vowhpt9eRlwgYF5fQPEZIP_60hw/s1600/L1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFedOx7VmWdPJkal9p4LW5Z6oJKP8sS0Ktrr68QAaWqdLSlawGLrPlVLOgEaxx5zHSxs9HG_ezWeScYiLaXwWXILUvR3QiqEacNMYuDHJdPcE9E-svZYWOpbPNQcsvL6MYm-RhV1GUJhY/s1600/l2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFedOx7VmWdPJkal9p4LW5Z6oJKP8sS0Ktrr68QAaWqdLSlawGLrPlVLOgEaxx5zHSxs9HG_ezWeScYiLaXwWXILUvR3QiqEacNMYuDHJdPcE9E-svZYWOpbPNQcsvL6MYm-RhV1GUJhY/s1600/l2.jpg" /></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/AVvXsEjx005JvdgOFfLCsOflqASbP_VCJ7MoB4n9F3tRxNrYrWUTeslo9dhRsU5b3FC94c_uMSWFVtkYxdq09XzaWu_6nItmqPGuamqrfGQSoQxKfLtRzZdxNMp-k7J6dp4dnp-lxY1yQKWUt6Y/s1600/l3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx005JvdgOFfLCsOflqASbP_VCJ7MoB4n9F3tRxNrYrWUTeslo9dhRsU5b3FC94c_uMSWFVtkYxdq09XzaWu_6nItmqPGuamqrfGQSoQxKfLtRzZdxNMp-k7J6dp4dnp-lxY1yQKWUt6Y/s1600/l3.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://magdalenabjornsdotter.se/" target="_blank">Magdalena Björnsdotter </a>for<a href="http://tidningenlantliv.se/2012/08/14/vi-inreder-med-hjartat/" target="_blank"> LantLiv</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wow!
