Home again after the Sweden Rock festival with the skin suit intact, I'm happy about that 🥳 We have camped on a sandy beach which we shared with scores of other tents and six swans. It was absolutely amazing to open the tent when the sun came up and go back to bed and watch the swans. We had the absolute best view you could have at the campsite (I think I'm going to become a bird watcher) and even if we brought home half a ton of sand in our clothes and bedding, it was worth it. I swam and washed my hair in the sea even though it was no more than 13 degrees, also worth it instead of queuing for the shower. However, I feel like I'm not 25 years old anymore. Im barely alive 😅 More tired than I usually am after that weekend. I have 2.5 weeks left until vacation. I will take my vacation as it comes and not make a lot of plans this year. Cant wait! 🌞🌻 #sweetcountryhomes #mycountryhome #boliginteriør #bohotribe #homeinspo #houseandcottage #houseandhome #houseandgarden #myhome2inspire #myhomevibe #patiodecor #vakrehjemoginteriør #vakreverden #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #veckansvackraste #gartenideen #interiorforall #myinterior #betterhomesandgardens #your _interior_inspiration #interior123 #interiorforinspo #interior123 #decorideas #myinteriorstyletoday #dream _interiors #elledecoration #interior _and_living

We just got home from our cabin and after a few days there, the flowers I got from my daughter for Mother's Day are still nice. Even our Rodedendrons are still blooming. They have gotten so big. In one, a statue is hiding, you hardly see her anymore. You can see if you swipe when we (it sounds good with "we", in reality I have never cut the grass 🙈) drive with the lawnmower how big that bush is! #sweetcountryhomes #myinterior #thespruce #mycountryhome #houseandcottage #interior4homes #veckansvackraste #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #myhomestyle #interior123

If you are a cat, you can sit on the tables here at home if you want. Our animals have had a good life and done as they please 😅 The dog walks us, we dont walk the dog 🙈🤗 She is now with my in-laws and lives a life of luxury in their cottage. She even eats lobster there and wants to be fed. She has never liked dog food, she eats most of what the rest of the family eats. She has never been sick even though she is now 13 years old, but she is starting to hear poorly, which is difficult when she runs freely in the forest and cannot listen to us. Tomorrow we go to our cabin, which is near my in-laws. Then I get to hug my little Selma again. We have to fix the jetty there that broke when the ice melted (=my husband is carpentry and I watch☀️🍻), so that we can have a nice midsummer and set a long table on the jetty like last year with our friends. We will however miss one of our best friend that we lost in January, but everything on earth has its time I guess and we must be grateful for all of the loved once we still have and keep those we lost close to our hearts and think of them often! I believe as long as we do, they are still with us ❤️❤️ Sleep well when Its time. . . . . #patios #porchdecor #porchlife #porch #outdoordecor #outdoorspaces #houseandgarden #houseandcottage #myhomevibe #interiorforall #interior _delux #insprasjonsguidennorge #inspirasjon _monicafjeld ##veckansvackraste ##bohotribe #betterhomesandgardens #gartenideen #wordlyhomes #scandinavianhome #farmhousedecor #farmhousehome #mycountryhome #sweetcountryhomes #interiorforyou1 #inredningstips #interiorforinspo

Our garden is a mess, we have neither time nor interest in looking after it as we wish we could. We let it grow pretty freely, but when I sit here and see how wildly it grows, I think it's not actually doing anything. It feels like I live in the middle of a forest (even though our house is in a pretty busy neighbourhood) and it suits me just fine. It is so peaceful with all the greenery around us. . . . . #myhouseandhome #gartenideen #wordlyhomes #betterhomesandgardens #houseandcottage #houseandgarden #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #interior4homes #myhomevibe #patiodecor #scandihome #scandinavianhome #bhghome #homeadore #bohotribe #interior123 #interior125 #interior444 #sweetcountryhomes #mycountryhome #cottagelife #your _interior_inspiration #dream _interiors #mittlevabo #landligehjem _inspirasjon #farmhousedecor #farmhousehome #inspire _me_home_decor

I was supposed to be in a late work meeting tonight but it got cancelled, so instead my cat and I are enjoying an evening out (while being the best cheerleader when my husband mows the lawn 🥳) It has rained and thundered all day, now that the storm has passed and the sun is peeking out, the air is as clear and fresh as it can be after a thunderstorm. Best time of the year when the days are warm but the nights are so cool that you sleep well. Have a nice evening everyone! ❤️ . . . . . #veckansvackraste #vakreverden #vakrehjemoginteriør #interiorforinspo ##interiorforyou #myinterior #interioryesplz #interiorstyling #interiorforall #interior _delux #interior4homes #boliginteriør #boligdrøm #bohotribex #bohodecor #betterhomesandgardens #elledecoration #sweetcountryhomes #mycountryhome #cottagelife #cozyhomes #countryliving #inredningstips #farmhousedecor #farmhousefanatics #gartenideen #gardeninspiration #thespruce #houseandcottage

I'm a wallpaper person. These are my favorites, I never get tire of them. I have them both in one of our living rooms and in our bedroom. They were sold out everywhere for a while, when I finally found them again after almost two years I bought a bunch of extra rolls so I can wallpaper in our new home if we ever move here, which a lot of people thought was a little weird 😅 It's always good to have a plan (we might not move out of here before we retire) . . . . #decorideas #wallpaper #dream _interiors #myinteriorstyletoday #myinterior #thrifted #interiorforinspo #interior123 #interior444 #decoration #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #myhouseandhome #myhome2inspire #veckansvackraste #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #mitthjem #mitthem #interiorforinspo #inredningstips #tapetinspiration #interiorforall #interior4you #your _interior_inspiration #deliciousdarkdecor #darkdecor #interioryesplz #inspire _me_home_decor #interior _and_living

I am babysitting my daughter's pomeranian when she works tonight. My husband goes skiing so it's just the two of us. We're just going to cozy up in front of the fireplace and be lazy. It's nice to do nothing sometimes, especially when you have three nights at work this weekend. I'm trying to get used to my new glasses. They are progressive and it's new to me, I feel like Im riding a merry-go-round 🥴 We'll see if I get used to it. Most of the time I wear contact lenses but it's nice to let my eyes rest from them. Have a happy evening everyone! 🥰 . . . . #myinterior #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #myhouseandhome #myhousebeautiful #mycountryhome #myinteriorstyletoday #myhome2inspire #interiorforinspo #interiorforall #veckansvackraste #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #mitthjem #mitthem #interiorforinspo #interioryesplz #worldlyhomes #dream _interiors #your _interior_inspiration #inredningstips #decorideas #homedecor #interiordecor

Last week it was + 15 Celcius in Gothenburg 🇸🇪 We brought out the outdoor furniture and the grill and sunbathed on the deckchairs. We changed from winter tires to summer tires on the cars. When we learned on the news on April 1st that we would get snow again in southern Sweden, we thought it was an April Fool's joke 😅 Today it looks like this, tomorrow more snow is expected. Almost everyone has trouble getting to work with the wrong tires on slippery roads. We never learn that our weather tricks us every year here in Sweden! 🙈❄️ . . . . #houseandgarden #gartenideen #housandhome #garden #patio #patiodecor #scandihome #scandinavianhome #outdoordecor #winterlandscape #wintergarden #homeandliving #homeandgarden #your _interior_inspiration #interior _and_living

Those of you who know me and those of you who have followed me here for a while know that Good Friday is a special day, as we lost my little brother in an accident on Good Friday 1991 😥 What makes it extra special this year is that Good Friday falls on March 29, just as that day in 1991. It has only happened twice before, in 2002 and 2013. This year will be the last time we get to experience this. The next time it happens is 2086. So... what determines the dates of Easter? Here are some facts: - Easter Sunday is the firs Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox which is expected to be March 21 but in reality may be a day or two earlier. - It is not the real moon that is the basis for calculating the Easter day, but it is a church calculation. - Number of possible days for Easter Sunday is 35 - The earliest possible Easter day is March 22 (such as the years 1818 and 2285) - The latest possible Easter day is April 25 (such as the years 1886, 1943 and 2038) I am happy to celebrate Easter with my family and friends this for us special year ❤️ Have a happy Easter everyone and thanks for being here with me! 🥰 . . . . . . . #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #inspirasjonsguidennorge #vakrehjemoginteriør #vakrehjem #vakreverden #gardendesign #gartenideen #houseandgarden #houseandcottage #farmhousedecor #farmhouseinspired #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #countryhome #mycountryhome #sweetcountryhomes #interiorforinspo #interior _and_living #interiorforall #inredningstips #veckansvackraste #myhome2inspire #interior123 #interior444 #interioryesplz #dream _interiors #worldlyhomes #easterdecor

Spring is in the air in Gothenburg, finally! Today we have had sunshine and a few minutes in the sun is enough to feel that you get energy 😎 We will celebrate Easter at my sister's in Småland with good friends. I love her old house from 1790 which is so typical Swedish from that time, where you have to put books under the bed to keep it straight on the sloping original floors. She lives in the country and I have asked her to start an Instagram account so I can share it with you and it seems she is finally getting started. As soon as she posts some pictures I will share the account with you. When I told my husband he said "She can do exactly what she wants as long as she doesn't sing" 😂 She sings often and happily and sometimes it hurts our ears a little bit (just a little). Looking forward to hearing her sweet voice this weekend though 🥰❤️ . . . . #interior _and_living #myhomevibe #myhousebeautiful #interiorforinspo #interiorforyou #myinterior #interioryesplz #interiorstyling #interiorforall #boligdrøm #cozyhome #inredning #inredningstips #myhomestyle #myhouseandhome #myhome2inspire #interior123 #interior4you #your _interior_inspiration #dream _interiors #inspirasjon _monicafjeld #mycountryhome #sweetcountryhomes #farmhousedecor #decorideas #houseandhome

Here are some more pictures from the @icehotelsweden in Jukkasjärvi. Some have asked about facilities such as toilets. Some rooms had their own warm spaces with toilet, shower and sauna. Other rooms, like ours, have this in nearby corridor. These are located in the part of the hotel that is kept cold all year round and here all rooms have a door into the room. In the part of the hotel that melts in the summer (most of the ice rooms are located here) there is a toilet in a building next door (it is the price of the room that determines how you choose to live) and here there are curtains to the rooms instead of doors. My husband woke up at night and went to the toilet without taking the key. He knocked on the door but I was sleeping soundly and snoring so it sounded like a brown bear in the room (he said) so he had to go out and to the building where the reception was to get a new one 😅 It was lucky our room had a door, otherwise my snoring would have woken up an entire corridor 🙈 All rooms had their own theme. You can see our room in the last picture, the theme was Drifted. At first we didn't think it was fully built, but it would simply look like that. Anyway, I slept very well in the cold (-7 Celcius) ❄️🤗 . . . #icehotel #icehotelsweden #icehoteljukkasjärvi

Here are some of the ice art rooms at @icehotelsweden in Jukkasjärvi, where we spent the weekend. It was more amazing in real life than what I managed to capture on camera. The silence in all rooms (snow and ice are very insulating), the smell and the clear air must be experienced. I will post a little every day from here, so if you get tired to see ice and snow you can just scroll on 🙈❄️ I myself look over and over at the pictures, it really is an unreal place and I am incredibly grateful to have been here. I have never been to northern Sweden before and now we were as far north as 200 km north of the arctic circle! ❄️🤗 Worth mentioning is that this is the part of the hotel that melts down in the summer and is then rebuilt in the winter with new art! . . . . . #dream _interiors #dreamhome #your _interior_inspiration #vakreverden #interioryesplz #interior4inspo #cabinlove #scandiboho #bohotribe #boliginteriør #boligdrøm #bohotribex #vakreverden #myinterior #myinteriorstyletoday #inspire _me_home_decor #interior _delux #insprasjonsguidennorge #designyourspaces #designdeinteriores #icehotel #winterlandscape #winterwonderland #gartendeko #gardendecor #winterlandscape #winterdecor #wordlyhomes #cabinsdaily #bhg
