Tour a Minimalist Scandinavian Winter White Home

That is why today, before Christmas and the explosion of red and green, I wanted to show you a minimalist Swedish home that you will absolutely love. It’s a new home, built in 2016, in Aneby, Sweden.

Best of all, they gave me so many options that I spent about half a day making my choice for themes and products and I decided on two core themes: Eating and Sleeping. That about sums up the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve for most of us, right?!?
