SOJORNER

Spacious opened interiors are such a luxurious and I love large dining tables - both can be found in this 202 square meters large apartment in Stockholm. There are also other cool things to like for sure: Large doors connecting all rooms, big filled bookcase and that cute nicely decorated kids room!

Shabby chic has its origins in the English countryside, where the typical style was chinzt faded floral fabrics with worn-out furniture.

Shabby chic popularized in the 1980s as a reaction to the expensive quality furniture that during this time was very popular with upper middle class. The early shabby chic ‘style was more magnificent and grandiose than it is today. Today’s shabby chic get much inspiration from the Swedish 1700’s and the stripped American folk-style shakers.
